Bad. Just bad. 03/27/2016
This review is from: JBL J88i Premium Over-Ear Headphones with Mic - Black
Pros:
They feel like they are of nice quality.
Cons:
Sound is horrible. They have as much bass response as the 1979 Mercury Cougar my grandmother used to drive...which is to say none. Might be good if you only listen to talk radio on AM. The highs are ok but once the bass drops is sounds so bad and unbalanced overall it will pretty much make you laugh. I got them on sale for like $20 so I figured there was a catch and wasn't expecting much...and they are still disappointing. I also bought the JBL 55s. They are better than the 88s, but they still are not good. I bought a $10 pair of headphones from "the biggest retailer" once that sounded WAAAYYY better. I like JBL. I have a pair of JBL tower speakers that sound great. So I'm in no hurry to bash a JBL product, but these are bad. Even if you get them on sale for $10, you over paid.
