    "BEST EARBUDS AVAILABLE"

    by siteaspect on December 25, 2007

    Pros: Killer bass, excellent sound quality

    Cons: cord noise when it rubs against clothing

    Summary: I own a Zen Vision M and listen to metal, alternative, and electronic. These JBL earbud headphones are the best I've been able to find under $300.

    I purchased and returned 2 different Shures, the V-Moda, Bose, Sennheiser and Zen earbuds - they just don't compare. The fullness of the JBL earbuds - bass you can feel, balanced midrange and clean highs - smokes the others.

    The JBLs come with 3 sizes of earpieces, plus earpieces for external use, plus a headpiece - you can use them as earbuds, as headsets, you can even work out with them.

    The JBLs give me clear, stunning music, and they block out sounds around me. I sometimes leave them in with the music off just to get some quiet time.

    The cord sound is annoying though - I do hate that and wish that JBL would consider a different material or cover. However, the cords aren't that cheap plastic wiring that most earbuds favor, and don't tangle easily.

    The JBLs even come with a nice case that conveniently holds my Zen Vision M.

    The other reviewer who gave the JBLs a 3 is off - the JBLs way overpower the Shures.
