JLab Audio Neon On-Ear Headphones

I've had these for a month, plenty of time to get to know them. I have named them Clementine (left) and Clearance (right). These were purchased over similar models because of solid reviews, and also because they're just a bit different looking among a throng of black or "rose gold" or white ear apparatuses, and that slight difference appeals to me. One of their oddities, along with their cool assembly of colors, is that the cord dislodges itself from the left-hand side, not the traditional right-hand side as I've seen in similar models. The cord also has a mute button, which is nice if you want to be just a smidgen rude but not entirely rude to anyone who dares talk to you while you've got your tunes, your games, or your work. You can be just a little bit rude and still leave your headphones perfectly in place while you're bombarded by ridiculous inquiries. Another press of the mute button and, viola, you are back to your own little world. They're a bit nostalgic, in a way, reminding me of the original Sony headphones that I first got in the seventh grade, and actually still own, as they still work, though the ear pads have fallen apart and now leave dark, leatherette specks everywhere, so that I look as though I'm covered in fleas (I'm not—that I know of). These headphones are simple like the Sonys, have the same sort of design, but the cord is much shorter. I'd recommend getting an extension, a three-foot extender would be adequate. I purchased the twelve-footer because I'm a blacksheep overachiever. If you have another external jack someplace, like on your external speakers, you might not mind the shorter cord if you're at a desktop computer, like I usually am. And obviously this shorter cord works fine if it's being plugged into a portable device. The jack is 3.5 mm standard, but it's not a flat jack like a lot of headphones (including my old Sonys), but has a 90-degree angled jack, more like what you'd see on a DC adapter plug. This is not a flaw by any means, it's just a bit odd. Again, probably part of their overall wish to be a bit more dynamic in the area of design. Also, with all my chitchat about the cord, you should probably realize by now that these are not wireless headphones. You don't have to charge them. You don't have to worry about battery life. It's kind of nice that way. Got a long flight to Fiji and need headphones for napping? Get these. Going on a summer road trip with the family and need to block out the constant whining and whinging of your siblings? Get these. If you're the type that likes good sound, these really can't be beat for what they are: smaller, lighter in weight, and comfortable, with enough boom-boom bass that your lobes vibrate, and not so pitchy on the treble. You can listen to your deep-bass tracks, like Koan, and then move on to your higher-pitch pop tunes, like Madonna (who always did like a sharper, clearer sound in her music)—and then everything between. You know, your deep-bass pop tunes, so that would be Röyksopp and Pet Shop Boys remixes, yes-no? These headphones will give them the honor of good sound that they richly deserve. Also, getting into the package to exhume these headphones from their plastic confines was truly an undertaking. (Documentary coming soon.) Well worth it, though. I'd buy these again—probably in a different color. I'm perfectly happy with the gray and purple pair I purchased, goes with my Scottish family tartan, but I'd probably choose something bright and more exuberant next time to compliment my Polish side. Happy listening, all! Edit... stardate 020820... Adding two facts that I've discovered. Fact one: When handling these headphones, they're small enough to feel a bit on the dainty side, but you also are empowered with the sensation that they are tough little buggers. These would be suitable for people who are a bit klutzy, can break things easily because they don't know their own strength, and also for tweens and teenagers who aren't too picky about owning name-brand goods like all the so-called "cool kids." Fact two: I can wear them for many hours straight without my ears hurting. And please keep in mind that I have an abnormally large head (part of this is hair). I can wear these 3-4 hours comfortably. I find myself wearing them a lot. I'm a writer (what? I know, you're shocked) and I'm at the computer a lot, and sometimes the only way I can write massive amounts in one day is to wear headphones. These work great and I can space out into my fictional lands where all the music is bassy and all the trees are leafy.

I love this head set... fast Bluetooth connection , the sound is great, that battery life is the best... it can last w/o charging for long times...its design, its awesome makes it very comfortable to ears.... its easy to use its worth the money...

I wish they were a little bigger. They are a little snug but not painful on my huge head. I bought these for work. They supplied me with a mic headset but its corded and a pain in the butt when not in a call. Especially if I have to answer the door, or just try to get something more than a couple feet away. These have a good range, and the battery lasts all day. Used at least two days without a charge. Of course as batteries get older I expect the charge to not last as long. I been using these for about a month now and do like them. Sound quality is not fantastic, but its not bad either. Not sure how long they will holdup but so far I do not see anything wearing out yet. The charging cable is really short, like 2 inches. It has a power button and says hello when turning it on, and connected once connected. You have to pair it, and does not come with Bluetooth adapter or receiver. The device you are going to use it on either has to have it or you have to buy one separately. So I wanted a cheap headset, that if I broke it would not be upset about. Work was not going to buy me a second one, and I did not want to spend a fortune on a nice one and worry about someone borrowing it. Like I said its on the small side, the frame does open wide enough, but the ear muffs are not as big as some. Likely why a lot bought them for their kids. Women and people with smaller craniums it might fit perfect. Only reason I did not give it a 5 star. Music and podcasts sound fine. Sometimes you do have to turn the volume up. I work in a factory and well that is just part of the deal. For home office or something might not be an issue. Not nuts about the colors but its only cosmetic. I would by again. The reviews for the other model with the mic were not so good, and even when on sale is double or more than this one. I have not tried to see how far the range goes until it loses signal. It works for at least 20 feet for me consistently and that is what I really wanted it for. Just in my work area. YMMV

Nice, kids love it. Clear sound and easy to operate.

Hard to beat for the price and intended purpose. Nice overall sound with solid bass, good mids and highs---quite pleasant from a lower power source--I used a Surfans F20 as the sound source. This is a an impressively well built set of phones with solid adjustment from the u-shaped can adjusters---they stick out a bit but that is the way the are built---fit good on smaller heads. Unfortunately, they aren't great amplified. However, if you have an inexpensive MP3 player, these might be shockingly good at that level. Strongly recommended for the low power user. I will return as I intend to run an external amp.

Se escucha un poco distorsionado, pero, supongo es lo que se tiene que aceptar por el costo de allí en fuera todo bien

Für den Preis haben die Kopfhörer einen sehr satten und basslastigen Sound. Die Höhen sind teilweise etwas unpräzise, allerdings echt zu verkraften. Der Akku hält locker 8 Stunden durch und die Verbindung zu einem Gerät ist einfach aufgebaut. Bei leiser Musik hört man allerdings Störfrequenzen, die vermutlich durch die Bluetooth-Verbindung entstehen. Sobald die Musik etwas lauter ist, hört man das allerdings nicht mehr.

Absolute rubbish. Lasted less than 9 months before right head phone just died. Really disappointing.

İch habe für telefonieren gekauft aber leider war Mcrofon nicht genüg gut dafür.

... mehr nicht, sind keine hifi kopfhörer, aber absolut tauglich für den alltagsgebrauch. sitzen gut und bequem.
