Packaging and delivery
Packaging standard goes well out, all not a thing. Here were the KHS, a few Eartips, including a few Schaumstofftips, but these are quite large, a transport bag and the usual paperwork.
First impression / processing
KHS unpacked. The cable feels quite stiff and hard, but seems stable. The plug is huge compared to my previous KHS, but makes a very strong impression. The KHS myself see not quite as good as in the pictures - plastic, still looks OK, but feels cheap. Also they are much larger than expected. The control panel is also cheap plastic, but looks ok.
Makes me 5/10 during processing.
First impression / wear & maintenance in the ear
Have all Eartips tried, although the KHS sit still halfway acceptable if you sit while running fly but constantly from the ear. For this purpose they are still very uncomfortable
and to feel permanently clear what makes longer listening sessions probably problematic.
2/10
First impression / sound (no EQ)
Well, I would have taken 76 30 paid, I would have nothing to complain about here. But as I said, the sound will not meet the price. Although the bass growl quite good, but the kick bass puncht net and thus all sounds because quite blurred and imprecise. The centers are reproduced not very exciting, but also do not fall necessarily negative on. Quite different heights - simply atrocious. Terrible. For even lighter volume increase treble catch crunch and overdrive. That sounds not only according shit, but is also very unpleasant and could well lead to earache (fits so for wearing).
5/10
Test a few hours and several EQ Fummel land later ...
A Miracle! After fumbling eternal and try, I got it now using managed by various EQ settings to conjure a solid sound without ear pain.
Well one probably, a bit exaggerated ... they sound now, after all, after 40 KHS. Like but still net. The low frequencies are all washed out, the bass puncht still net and the mids and highs are still net clear and precise. It is absent in sätmlichen songs to any WOW feeling joy or other jumps ... Just not very convincing.
And with songs that also have strong heights that JBL's come still net clear. I hear almost exclusively hip-hop and rock.
The songs that have given me the greatest pain was, probably "No Roads Left" of Linkin Park, and the ears Slayer "jet lag" of Kollegah where it was really very very bad and I would explain the song with the audience for almost inaudibly.
As a tester, incidentally, was a Galaxy Nexus, pumped through CMs DSP Manager with Google Play Music and CMs Apollo as player.
Personally, I would place the sound between my 16 KHS KHS Sony and my urBeats2. The difference with the Sony is very clear, however, is to the beats much more clearly what is really a shame. Have the Beats eigtl even abandoned, because I have no desire for a cable break every 4 months ...
Conclusion
The JBL's not worth it. For the price they are even unreasonable. They feel bad, do not sound like they cost, constantly flying from the ears and are easily suuuper uunbequem. I advise the purchase from absolutely, unless you get them for 30 - and even then I would not be so sure ...
I have it in any case immediately returned to Amazon and the Klipsch S4 ordered me II that are just awesome! And that for only 3 more ... So stay away from the JBL and accesses prefer to Klipsch. The E10 Sound Magic seem indeed very pleased to be very hot that sometimes are called other alternatives)
