Very good headphones from JBL once again. The sound quality and noise isolation of the headphones are the same as the previous version, the T110, but I believe they have slightly less bass than the others. Negative: you need new ones every 2 months.

  This review is about the colour: Gold

  Ladies and gentlemen, I am an audiophile. The headphones for 10€ do not have durability for everyday use and also with 10€ the quality is satisfactory. If you want better quality, buy something more expensive and at the same time more reliable. Search first, think about what you are looking for, and then make a purchase.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  The headphones arrived faulty (the bass was not audible at all) and were exchanged immediately and quickly.

  I mention this because I see others reporting issues with the headphones. Perhaps this means they have a higher chance of defects compared to others. Just exchange them right away.

  The next package that arrived works very well and is exactly what one would expect at this price and type of headphones.

  Compared to the cheaper T110, there are some differences in their sound profile, but do not expect miracles with such a small price difference. If someone asked me to choose between the two, I would have a hard time deciding.

  The sound on the T110 is more "rounded" and "full," while on the T290 it is a bit clearer but also a bit "wooden." The bass sounds as it should and is more noticeable.

  The cable is thinner and although the headphones are made of aluminum instead of plastic, they are not so heavy.

  5 stars because they are very good FOR THEIR PRICE, don't expect miracles in performance from headphones that cost 10 something euros. If they also withstand over time, they will be an excellent purchase.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Decent headphones. They played at low volume on my phone, which I somewhat expected because I had the same issue with Bluetooth for ear health reasons. But I entered EngineerMode, my phone had the Headset PGA setting at 104, I set it to 160 which is their limit, but you can't listen to music that loud for more than 2 minutes.
  They have good clarity, you can distinguish musical instruments, etc. where possible, but with emphasis on the low frequencies, on Spotify I simply activated Loudness.
  I hope they are durable over time

  Comment from a professional sound engineer. Great frequency range for their price. Average build quality. If they break, I might get the same or more expensive ones from JBL again.

  I bought them from a store and they sent me defective ones twice, so I threw them away because I got tired of dealing with that specific store. I bought them again from another store and finally I can have an opinion. The headphones are excellent, they have very good sound and accurate bass, and a very good microphone! Be careful where you buy them from, the lowest price might hide surprises.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Because I generally read that some people are disappointed with the sound, I wanted to say that it depends on how well they fit in the ear. I believe that their sound is very good, with a great bass performance. I was very satisfied with their durability as well, like everything, if you take care of them a little (don't pull them from the cable, don't mishandle them), they are very reliable.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Disappointing both in terms of sound and for simple phone calls. You can hear well, but the person you're talking to can't hear you at all. The sound quality is disappointing for anyone who trusts the JBL name. They are affordable, I agree, but they are not worth their money. I wonder how JBL put their signature on such a product.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  I have bought them twice. After about 2 years of use, I lent them to my wife because hers broke. Within 2 days, one of the earphones stopped working. I bought the same ones again for myself and a €5 one for my wife, and after a few days, one of the earphones on hers also stopped working. So, durability depends a lot on usage, such as how you fold them when storing, if you put them in pockets, if you accidentally stretch the cable, if you break them when untangling, etc. My feeling is that for their cost, they are well-made. You don't feel cheap materials.

  For my taste, these headphones needed adjustments on my phone's equalizer. If you reduce the bass a bit, the mid and high frequencies immediately improve. The volume also improves significantly. Additionally, the bass depends a lot on how well the earphone fits in your ear. If it locks in properly, you get good bass. If you're not lucky enough to have a good fit, the sound will be dull.

  I read reviews that say the sound is awful. I completely disagree. Especially if you spend a little time and adjust the settings to your taste. But even without adjustments. I have tried cheaper ones from the same company, and although I initially liked them more because they had more volume, with a little attention, you realize how much more clarity and range the T290s provide, so they don't cost more for no reason. Personally, I can say that I really enjoy listening to music with them.

  Overall, I recommend them, but I also understand the various negative reviews from people who don't have a good fit with the earphones, who don't have time for adjustments, or who consider the jump in price from €10 to €20-25 significant. Good headphones cost €150+ and very good ones cost €300++. Just to give you an idea.

  I got them as an "upgrade" from the T210 because they are metallic. Unfortunately, it was not just an upgrade. They do not have the same ear shape as the aforementioned ones, so they are much less convenient and generally tire the ears after a while. At around 7-8 months, the right one started malfunctioning for a bit and around 1 year, it completely gave up. In terms of sound, they were not bad, they emphasize the bass a lot (like everyone for some reason) and as a result, we have mediocre mids and often "squeaky" highs. However, a good equalizer improves them a lot. The wide cable and the angled plug are nice. The microphone is good, but at high volumes, it picks up the sound of the headphones and creates an echo for the person listening to you (which is extremely annoying). Personally, I would not recommend them.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  The worst headphones I have ever bought. I bought them for 30 euros when they were first released and for their price they are not worth it at all. The sound is terrible, it ruins any song you want to listen to or any video you want to watch, the sound from the bass is so loud that it overpowers the artist's voice. They don't fit well in the ears at all, resulting in them falling out with every small movement.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  After the JBL T210, I decided to try something else and unfortunately I read the reviews here and disappointed, I went for some Sony ones that cost 20 euros and had very good reviews. The result? Sony is rubbish! Fake, cheap plastic, nothing like them. As for the sound, no comparison. JBL has bass while the Sony ones are muffled, terrible mids, low bass, more suitable for everyday pop music. In the end, I immediately exchanged the Sony ones and got these. Result:
  1) Full, clear sound and bass... exactly what it claims... very good result for 20 euros.
  2) For electronic, EDM, and bass-heavy music, it's the best in-ear option... I don't know about classical music... now, those who are not satisfied, I don't know what they expect for headphones that cost 20-25 euros.
  3) Higher quality construction (aluminum). At this price, other brands sell cheap plastic.
  4) Flat cable that doesn't easily tangle.
  5) If they break and you haven't made a mistake, go and exchange them with the purchase receipt, there's a warranty... I never had a problem with JBL, they always replaced them immediately...

  I wanted them for a long time, guys, and I just decided to get them and try them out.
  If you just want to listen to sound, it's okay, but if you want to listen to music with proper bass and midrange, unfortunately, they don't deliver.
  Even the wireless ones from Xiaomi, the Airdots, have much better sound quality

  I bought them five months ago and suddenly in the past few days they stopped working for no reason, neither a problem with the cable, nor pulling of the cable which I must admit is very durable. That's why I can't understand how a company like JBL, their headphones break down like this for no reason (the sound cannot be heard from the smartphone).

  As headphones, they have lasted me close to 2 years with frequent use. The quality and bass are good, depending on the device you have. In some, they sound much louder, while in others they sound normal. Overall, I think they would be worth more than 15 euros. It's a good purchase, but they would be worth it at a better price

  This review is about the colour: Black

  It is well-crafted, with a beautiful design, comfortable and lightweight in the ears (although due to their shape, they do not stay in place during intense head movements). The sound is balanced for general use (demanding users, especially in music, should of course look for higher-priced options). The inside-out sound isolation is satisfactory (note: it is not noise-canceling technology), the cable is flat but thin (sometimes it gets tangled, but untangles easily). The accessories in the package (EarGels and pouch) are always a plus. For the quality, one should consider their durability over time (mainly the reason for the 3-star rating), depending on usage, of course. Overall, for their price, they are a decent choice.

  Good sound for a song, nothing special. They tangle relatively easily, but the worst thing is that it doesn't work well with Xiaomi 4x, works very well with Note 8T but durability is zero. In three months, suddenly one speaker became much louder than the other, despite the care I took. Get the ones for 7 euros, they are better.

  This review is about the colour: Black

  I bought them for 30€ and they have not satisfied me in the use on my mobile phone due to the low volume they have. The insulation does some work to cover this gap, but it's simply not enough. For 30€, you can easily find better headphones. In terms of durability, so far, I have been using them for a little over two months and they are holding up quite well as they have not been damaged or suffered any noticeable defects.

  As for the sound, it is simply balanced with okay bass. It is slightly better than the House of Marley Smile Jamaica, even though they are 10€ more expensive. Otherwise, the sound is not the best, but that's not a problem. My main complaint is that they don't reach high volumes, and the songs that require it are being unfairly treated.

  However, I will admit that I liked the design and the microphone, and as tips:
  - Always have a carrying case with you and store them in it to preserve them.
  - Use the largest earbuds that fit in your ears for maximum sound isolation.
  - Clean your headphones regularly.
  - The microphone may require a splitter to use it on a computer.

  EDIT:
  It may have been slightly problematic with my product, as the issue with the volume disappeared with the new pair I bought. They may have offered a small upgrade. Either way, now I can listen to music better. I also noticed how good the microphone is compared to other headphones in its price range, and it's one of the best.
  I feel responsible to change my review from 2->4 stars.
  Good purchase, but there are better ones out there!

  This review is about the colour: Black

  Although the headphones have good sound quality and a decent microphone, they broke quite early, that is, two months after purchase. Specifically, the audio jack cable broke and the sound quality deteriorated significantly. The same thing happened with the previous headphones from the same company, in the exact same spot. If you want something durable, do not buy this product.

  The best choice of headphones I have made. Their only flaw is that the metal got scratched, but I didn't buy the headphones for that. They have a strong bass and the music quality is impeccable, and the button works perfectly, which is a problem in most headphones I've had because personally it is very useful to me. Additionally, I use them on my PC to communicate with my friends through Discord, and after asking them, they told me that I sound perfectly clear, just like they sound to me. Furthermore, I have had them since September '18 and they still work perfectly. On a scale of 1 to 10, personally I would give them a 10 in recommending them to anyone.
