JBL Bluetooth Headphones

Learning About JBL Headphones

Choose JBL headphones to enjoy premium sound whether you're at home, at the gym, or on the road. This brand offers a wide selection of models ranging from waterproof sports earphones to high-end studio headphones beloved by audiophiles. Key factors to consider when shopping for headphones include size and connectivity, as well as where you intend to use them and how you wish to wear them.

JBL Headphone Styles

JBL makes three major types of headphones: over-ear, on-ear, and in-ear models. Over-ear, or circumaural, headphones are the largest and loudest of the three classes. These full-sized units fully cover the ears to provide acoustic isolation and create a large, immersive sound stage. On-ear, or supra-aural, headphones sit on top of your outer ears. These are lighter than over-ear models and are more comfortable for extended listening sessions.

JBL in-ear headphones rest just outside of ear canals. Sometimes called earphones, these ultra-lightweight, pocketable units offer excellent noise isolation. Regular earbuds usually include replacement canal tips of different sizes so you can pick the one with the best fit. For a more secure fit, some JBL sports headphones have wingtips that nestle inside your ear lobes to keep the earbuds from falling out while exercising.

Wired vs. Wireless JBL Headphones

Wired headphones connect to portable media players, smartphones, and other audio sources via audio cables, while wireless models stream music cable-free. Although wireless headphones are more popular, wired units offer certain clear advantages such as improved sound quality and battery-free operation. Most wireless headphones connect via Bluetooth, and you can find them as over-ear, in-ear, and on-ear models. In addition to streaming music, some JBL Bluetooth headphones also let you receive calls, and last up to 20 hours on a single charge.

A regular pair of Bluetooth headphones still has two earpieces physically connected together. True wireless models, on the other hand, have no wires between their buds. JBL wireless headphones in this category are suitable for work and an active lifestyle. They support hands-free calling and come with smart cases that protect and charge the buds while you're not wearing them.

What Are JBL Bass Headphones?

These models deliver punchy bass much like you'd get with bookshelf speakers, thanks to big audio drivers and bespoke tuning. The resulting engineered sound emphasizes low audio frequencies, and delivers an output that comes out deep and powerful.

Noise Canceling on JBL Headphones

Select JBL headphones offer active noise canceling. These use built-in microphones to pick up and cancel out ambient sound so you can enjoy a noise-free listening session. Some models offer passive noise reduction by physically blocking outside noise. These include JBL over-ear Bluetooth headphones with closed back design and in-ear earphones.

Enjoy music and movies wherever you go and however you like by listening with JBL headphones. Find the right pair in the wide selection of JBL audio products at B&H Photo and Video.
