Really appreciate this review, we need more headphone gems under $100. This market has been so stale for the past few years.
Heard loud and clear 😄 I'll try and get more budget-coverage in the pipeline.
There are a lot of good headphones under $100
@@suly6654 Well, maybe? But there aren't many proper reviews on them, especially with measurements.
@@DMS3TV especially closed back headphones. I wish I can use open back but just can't, as I use them in the office, at home with sleeping kids etc. So appreciate this video a lot!
@@Daniel_Borisov Have you ever used open backs? They're less loud than you'd think.
3:19 😂😂 this is pure GOLD!!
I would personally appreciate seeing more reviews like this one. I love videos about high-end headphones, but let's be honest, it is usually much more useful and practical to see, if something like these JBLs is any good than to check if a new 3000-dollar planar is 9.5 or 10/10. I can not speak for eveyone, but I think something like 1 review of affordable headphones (or TWS) every 5 or 6 videos would be great.
Love to see a comparison between this and the Anker Soundcore Q35, which are my go-to for over-the-ear wireless cans. The LDAC support and customizeable EQ profiles in the app make them worthwhile IMO, even if the ANC isn't on par with high-end Sony or Bose.
Just bought the q35s they come in a couple days. I'm pretty interested to see how the perform.
@@peaj4812 I’ve owned a pair of life q30s and own the noise canceling equivalent of this pair (760bt). Overall, I prefer the tuning of the JBL model out of the box, but the Anker Soundcore headphones are more comfortable and can be adjusted with EQ in the app. Both are good and comfort will vary from person to person, but I believe you made a solid choice and will be just fine with what you have/have coming in.
@@TimothyDurana little late but which are louder?
@@heisrummy the life q30s pair I had was louder. And considering how Anker has a new model out for $99, I think it's almost a no brainer if you want louder sound and EQ to go with them at this point. If that's a make or break, go Anker.
@@TimothyDuranFor the two, q30 and 760nc, do people around you hear the sound? Do the sound leak?
Great to have reviews for gear at this price range; perfect Christmas present for my daughter.
I have this headphone and really surprised me although there is no sound cancellation but the cushion doing a good job in “filtering” the sound and decrease the surrounding sounds
Great review. I tried these out a while back and I was impressed by the sound for the money. My favorite sounding bluetooth headphone I’ve tried is the Audio-Technica SR50bt. You should check them out for a review
Thankful got stuck without headphones and a long journey ahead. Im picky with audio but trusted you and they shocked me very solid. I am autistic and need music. Thanks keep up the good word from the uk
how’s the volume and bass?
The bass on the 710bt is very good
Love the shirt 🤩
love the vid! value recs are always super helpful. just checkin in - any progress on the revamped spreadsheet?
This is the first time I saw DMS recommend a wireless headphone. Can you do more of this? Please give us some of your wireless headphones recommendation for each budget.
Sure! ive been wanting to cover more budget oriented things
@@DMS3TV yo dms replied! thanks man. Excited for the upcoming vids on those headphones. If I may recommend some, Soundcore life q30/35 or space q45 or 1more sonoflow and the like.
If u Watched his old Videos , DMS recommended the Bose Q35 for wireless use.
@@Tripokaridos22 yeah. but those are mainstream.
DMS suggested the AKG K361, and for more bass K371 ("almost perfect").
Had these for a while now… a big plus, that’s often overlooked: the physical buttons… SO much better than finicky touch controls… my only minuses: ears fit barely into the cups and SBC is the only compatible codec… the on-ear counterpart (510T) is quite good as well, with a bigger mid-bass emphasis… gave those to my GF, she loves them 😀 battery life is excellent on both variants
How is the max volume on this?
@@donvittoriosierra Plenty enough for me… but I‘m usually listening at medium levels anyway
Nice to know this actually good. My sennheiser 280 pros may sound better but the cable can suck a fat one. This would be a good portable alternative. Hoping you can do a video on the AKG N700nc M2. I've heard good things & even crinacle mentioned it in a live stream.
I had the N700NC for a few months and they are brilliant. I don’t know if they still are but at the time they had superior sound to the Sennheiser Momentum 3, Sony xm3 (and possibly 4) and basically every other noise cancelling Bluetooth headset
And for the low price they do at these days, they’re an amazing deal
I looking forward to your review of the Venture Electronics supernova :3
Got these today and I have to say I love them. I was using the basic airpods for years now and they destroyed my ears over time. The sound quality compared to my airpods is fantastic and it just sounds more simple but nice. I can listen to metal without my ears hurting for example. It doesn’t feel as cheap imo but tbh I never had super expensive headphones due to being someone that just wants to listen to music in a good quality
hey man I’m really happy for you
And what about phone calls?
Next gen Jbl tune 720BT have been realeased very recently, adding App support and, this time, JBL highlights comfort on its website info. Any chance you could meassure them to see if they kept the same tuning?
Excellently reviewed!
Great video! Cool headphone too❤️
It's wild seeing how far the budget wireless market is improving right now. I grabbed a pair of those SoundPeats Free2 Classics for $30 and they are legit tuned better than my AirPods Pro 2 (while lacking basically all of the big features).
Thanks 🙏 for the review, after I saw was looking at JBL headphones on Amazon, and came across JBL Quantum TWS Noise Cancelling Gaming Earbuds (2.4Ghz Wireless or Bluetooth) , hopefully there good The only ones I found with Bluetooth and 2.4.
I have a relatively cheap pair of JBL Bluetooth headphones (e55bt) that I got a few years back and even though they are not the best, they have done me well. Even with my desktop stack and Sundaras I still find myself going back to listen to them sometimes, cause they are just that enjoyable.
How is the tune 710BT sound quality compared to the e55BT please??
Do the 710BT has as many bass as the e55BT or really lacking?
Thx!!!
@@z0Olander I wanna know this too, I love my e55BT but is kinda broken now lol
@@lessemo I bought the tune 710BT since and I love it, many more battery life, fits me well (more tight, but I prefer -> it stays better in place when head shaking), sound quality is good, not as flat as I was scared it would be, a little less bass than the e55 but still enough for me (don't get me wrong, I'm not an audio specialist, I only tell you my feeling)...and I use the braided jack cable that came with my e55 instead of the cheaper one that came with my new tune710 to get the built-in-the-cable microphone (and use it as a gaming headset too) :)
If you have another question don't hesitate 👌
I've had these for a few months and yea they sound way better than I expected, I wanted to try wireless (finally) as i've always bought wired headphones, the battery lasts at least 7 days and usually goes longer, comfort was a little tight at first (pressure) but over the past few months they've loosened up just enough to where they feel fine now. I also like how the treble isn't too sharp on the upper end but still sounds pleasant, there's also good mid range detail and clean bass, big thumbs up overall.
Love this review
I have even more respect for you new balance for life!!
I have the JBL TUNE660NC and even if I have many better headphones it has became one of my main headphones because it is nicely tuned and so convinient to use. It is an on ear design but pretty comfortable it folds in a very small package and it followd the harman target pretty well.
Nice review, could you do review on jbl tune 760nc? And what's the difference of 710bt and 760nc?
I had the SHP9500, and I have the SHP9600 and I can confirm, this JBL Tune 710 is much nicer to listen to than both. I bought this headphone to use outside the house, but I was so surprised by the quality that I ended up using it at home as my main headphone. One thing worth mentioning is how non-fatiguing the sound is, in any kind of music. You can turn up the volume quite a bit while maintaining the quality and without being tiring.
Glad to see JBL making decent tuning for these. They can and we know that, but it hasn't been much of a selling point in these kinds of products.
Just placed an order for a pair. It only cost 30EUR.
At that price point it's probably a pretty good deal (black ones were sold out, so I got myself blue).
Something like Anker Q30 cost 90EUR so I was not even considering it.
I feel like one thing that should be pointed out when comparing wired and wireless headphones is that wireless headphones aren't designed to have easily replaceable batteries, so generally speaking they have an expiration date because all batteries die. Wired headphones don't have that problem and can essentially last forever if you take care of them, minus pad changes and maybe cable changes if that gets worn out.
If you really want a wireless headphone then, getting a cheaper one makes a certain amount of sense since it's easier to replace. This at least is cheaper than most of the low end bluetooth dongles like a BTR5 or a Qudelix 5K. The bluetooth dongle would allow you to use much better sounding (and more expensive) headphones on the go, but you have to deal with a wire and replacing the dongle when its battery expires. So if you don't mind the drop in sound quality and want no wires, this becomes pretty compelling. If you don't mind a wire and have a headphone (or IEM!) that's easy to drive, you might be better off with just that and an Apple dongle or another non-bluetooth dongle though, since it's going to last so much longer.
This is a big struggle I have with recommending wireless devices is repairability. I'm not a fan of disposable tech. Actually have a ranting video in the pipeline about that for ipads lol.
This is one of the major reason I don't want to buy BT headphones for portable use. As an audiophhile, not only I want an investment last longer, but also sound great. I wish the headphone is as compact, premium and comfortable as B&O PX8, but also sound as good as focal celestee, wired and balanced connection if necessary, without BT, ANC. Previous oppo PM3, Beoplay H6 are all good ones. But today, it is extremely hard to find. Dan Clark Aeon Noire, Audio technica wp900 are good examples, but that's pretty much it. The second reason is in the same price bracket, IEMs almost can't compete to full size headphones in terms of sound. Tried various IEMs, they sound good, but to have equal sound quality to over ears, it is way too expensive. For example, you have to spend end top dollar (usually above 2k) to get sound quality as good as 1k dollar headphones. The other reason is BT have transmission limitations. Yes, it is small, but still audible compare to wired.
Please consider reviewing the HD 569 for one the very few closed back over ears "audiophile" headphones under 100 usd, there are little to no reputed reviews of it.
Check out also Bluedio TM, they cost about 25$ and are fantastic!
As long as you are looking at consumer grade, wireless, headphones you could also compare them to Anker's headphones or more specifically the Soundcore Life Q30; same price at $79. You might be surprised what sub $100 can get you in terms of wireless, over-the-ear, headphones.
Add Oluv's EQ on top of that and you've got a winner.
My first Bluetooth headphones were the JBL E55BT Quincy Edition. They contained a 50mm driver as opposed to the 40mm driver in the standard E55BT headphones. They still sound very nice over 5 years later. I’ve moved on from them but still pull them out periodically. Very warm and tubey. The best part is that they use Quincy Jones’s voice for the commands which is why I’ll never part with them!
How is the sound quality of the tune710BT besides the e55BT?
Are the bass of the 710 way more inconsistent?
I've the e55BT and I love its sound, but I plan going for 710 and I worry about going for a downgraded sound quality, especially with many less bass!
Thx for any piece of answer!
@@z0Olander I don’t own the Tune 710BT but I would expect their performance to be better than your E55BT.
I was struggling to find a small headphones (my head is rlly small) with good audio and not too expensive (east asia gang)! This rlly helped!!
got them for 50e in France what a steal they are really stunning for the price non fatiguing and really enjoyable sound signature
Nice frequency response but needs a bit of EQ to boost sub-bass and air.
This generation of JBLs was pretty good, the earcups we're the main problem with all of them. I had a nice pair that cost me $99, incredible sound, but had to return them cause they would wreck my ears. But I remember being impressed by the extension and fairly good neutrality.
Put these in my cart based on this recommendation. Saved for later, and picked them up for under $40. I’m happy with them.
To be fair I’m one of those people who is happy with his QC15s.
i got the 760 nc, same chassis, but with noise canceling, great for traveling
Do people around you hear the sound? Do the sound leak?
@@tatitatoes2673 nah, they’re quite insulating, it’s what they’re made for
I bought these guys' predecessors, the Tune 700BT, in August last year and while they do sound great compared to the much older Everest Elite 700 for a fraction of the price; all the leather in the earpads and headband have been flaking like crazy the past few months. The headband padding also just disconnects very easily now, sometimes on their own.
I've been using them very sparingly, and almost exclusively indoors, yet the build quality just isn't holding up.
I'd be careful with 710BT's longevity.
Do those headphones have the same audio quality when using in wired mode as compared to wireless b/t mode?
@@adityasinghbisht3906 Wireless mode definitely sounds fuller. They've got pretty low impedance based from JBL's listed specs, so I'm guessing it's the headphones' own DSP in the works.
@@Puerile. Thanks for sharing the info
Great review bud! I jist noticed they recently released the Tune 720BT this year that now connects to the app for different sound eq presets. Do you know if they are tuned the same as the 710 out of the box?
Would love for you to review the JBL 720BT. To see if the higher price tag is worth it! Can currently get the 710BT for $55 and the 720BT for $75. Thanks!
From what I've seen from frequency response graphs (and frequency response graphs alone, so take this with a pinch of salt), the 720 seems to have *worse* tuning than the 710, so unless you really really want the ANC and are fine with EQing with something like Wavelet or EqualizerAPO, I'd just go with the 710.
@@occasionalart7597 thanks mate!
@@occasionalart7597I got the 720bt and the base EQ isn't great with elevated mids but can be changed in the EQ app. It's really good.
For Bluetooth devices JBL is that brand which I can trust on tuning. I had their $30 tws C100tws ( lost after 1.5 year of ownership) which is better tuned than CCA CRA and also with good technicalities.
How do you feel about CCA CRAs?
JBL has been really surprising me with their headphones. too bad they stopped selling the Endurance RUN, those have my favorite sound of of any of the headphones I've tried, slightly worse than the SoundPeats Free2 Classic, those I think sound just about perfect to me at least.
Interesting… love cheap stuff haha. Look into VE Supernova with perforated pleather m50x pads.
I have one since 1 year and it is fantastic to used ❤❤
Have you tried Final Audio UX3000 (or its cheaper version AG WHP01K)? I had a chance to try the AG version, and to my ears they are very nice sounding affordable bluetooth headphones.
I just got these headphones in today based on your recommendation and I love them! One question though, the volume on these seems pretty low. They have to be 90-100%, but i’ve only heard them for around 30 minutes. Did you have this issue? Anyways, thanks for the great content!
Well now you did a review of a cheap bluetooth headphone, can you also do the Edifier S3?
Very Interesting, usually I don't even consider JBL other than for loud bassy Bluetooth speakers
Well, I was considering the wired AKG 371 to give my ears some rest from in ear listening. I was willing to deal with wires but, obviously, It is not that convenient... Do you guys think the JBL can give me a similiar or even better experience than the AKG? I had once the Tune 110BT, wireless iem, and I thought it was incredibly underrated given it's sonic performance, and I can even apply your sound description for the 710bt to those old 110bt, that's what I felt.
Perfect timing. I have a AKG N700NC that I absolutely adore, but seems to have locked up. Can't even turn it off. Not sure if it's fully dead or if it'll work once battery runs out, but I'll definitely look into these if I need a replacement.
How long did the n700 last?
@@TKA905 had it for 2.5 years, but actually I'm happy to report that it's working again. Battery drained itself, then I was able to recharge and now it's working.
@@mkang85 Good to hear! Yeah.. somethings things just need a full reset!
men, I just learned one thing. These headphones with plastic frames from headrest instead of complete cushioning are definitely not for people like me with big heads. I bought mine yesterday and I can already see cracks at the frame
Any thoughts on decent similar headphones with better build quality, that would be more durable? Maybe metal parts where they matter most? Thanks!
I love the fact that you can see the controversy on the replay chart. I didnt tried JBL Tune 710 BT but that is harsh for dt990
would you say to expect leakage while the loudest setting of volume because I ordered a pair and when putting the medium setting I can still hear the sound leaking.
When you brought the shoe out, I laughed so hard I lost the horizontal hold on my vision, tripped and crushed my Sony's. Life's a bitch and then you laugh. Thanks huge young lad; your acutely accurate critiques are brilliant stuff.
Looks like a good headphone to wear while cutting the grass. Are these over ear or on ear headphones? They look small
39€ here wondering if I should get these are my 1st bluetooth headphones
Another cheap (but wired) closed back is the Epos h3, Harman tuned but with more sub bass boost
Better than a kph30i with grado pads ? Looking for a portable upgrade
Dude, I died laughing when you said the shoe was more detailed than a Sony or a Bose. Excellent
Ordered!
Which one is better between these one and the Live 460NC ? :)
what happened to the spreadsheet you used to link in the description?
Have you also tried the $79 Soundcore QC30?
As a bit of a numpty with sound. I get that budget isn't a good option, so I hope I question this correctly.
But when it comes to the actual headphones where you can start differentiating better between the instruments like you mentioned about the separation from the 6xx. I would like to know if you have a video or would do a video on the "budget" for higher end (not necessarily high end, maybe just the middle line)
Maybe check the Sennheiser 560S (and DMS' review of them of course)
@@walkinmn will do thanks, because also having issues that some headphones I see aren't available or easily available in South Africa as well.
There’s the JBL tune 760 NC for a more feature-packed version. I would love to see you review these!
If my memory doesn't fails, they're almost the same as the 710 in the specs+ the Noice cancelling kinda sucks.
i found the 720 version in a store close to me and the 500. is any of those good for android phone use?
How about reviewing the Ananda BT.
How about realiblity? I have enough broken cheap hp that need constant replace, till one day i say enough and spend more..
Not only it sound better, it last longer (still works today)
Now it’s on Amazon on $39.00. That’s incredible
hi can you recommend a closed back headphones worth $100 that's good sound quality with good microphone for calls? thanks!
I'd be extremely surprised if this thing out performs the anker soundcore q35. It doesn't sound great out of the box but it's eq ability through the app makes it surprisingly good
I got a soundcore Q35 but I wouldn't recommend it. The bass is distorted. It needs a sub-bass cut to sound acceptable.
@@kyron42 have you used the eq?
I don't have the Q35 to compare, but I do have the Q45. I'll make a vid on that soon.
@@DMS3TV the 35s came to mind because they're also 80 bucks, but are fully fledged in their feature set
But I'm excited to see the 45s too
@@NightmareFactory830 yes I used the EQ to boost the highs. It's a very dull sounding headphone.
I’ve had the 700BT for a while now. Do you have any thoughts on them? Looks like these are the updated model. Mine sound surprisingly good. I was prepared for a bass galore and I was pleasantly surprised.
Btw. It is the Tune700BT, not Club
@@palniok i think its just an upgrade in battery capacity and maybe bluetooth version.
can we get a review on the m20xbt?
is the sound quality better than the moondrop arias?
JBL is tuned by AKG not surprised it is good.
Can you review the JBL Live 650 or 660BT? Its pretty much these but with noise cancelling and better build
So far really happy with those headphones. 90% of the quality for 30% of the price.
This or the akg k361 non-bt? bt is nice, but I plan to use the apple lightning adapter 90% of the time. Thanks for this video!
The BT options don't yet compete with wired ones. N700NC M2 is the best sounding BT headphone at consumer price points and K 371 is still better.
@@hartyewh1 It baffles me as to why the wired connection on the bt versions of these headphones don’t live up to the identical non bt versions.
@@KevinAdams06 Yeah, when I can buy a high power dongle dac and a good wireless headphone it seems a trivial thing, but is it that a small battery is somehow insufficient leading to compromises in design? I don't know.
Hey, would you review the 1MORE sonoflows?
With headphones like this do they do a bunch of DSP to correct their own frequency response? And if so do they have the same FR wired?
I own one of these. The wired mode bypasses the internal board and the audio sounds shitty, lot of sibbylance and inaccurate audio.
Where's the mic test? they have it
Would you say it's better than Sony wireless headphones in the 100-150 price range?
why would you take this over the k361bt
I've got a pair of 750 ANCs, and i agree with the sound! The earcups do pinch my ears though 😅
Have you tried the ATH-m20xBT yet?
The jbl 710bt is on black fridays sale guy used to cost 100$ Cad now its 50$ cad gud deal
Should I get this or Skullcandy hesh 3?
Could you please review newly launched Fifine h8 its only for $35 and review Epos H3x too if you can
Finally an audiophile brings up the new JBL headphones.
do these have replaceable earpads?
Does sound as good as the kph40, the kph30i, KSC 75 the Porta Pro.
No way
I have all these and honestly they sound more clean than the kph30i . I've not checked them against my 40 or 75 yet . The issue with the 75 I'd the JBL crushes it on bass extension however it comes with all the pros and cons of a closed back
JBL's R&D is unmatched in the industry. With that much experience and knowledge base, it is no surprise that their speakers and audio products are top notch in their market segments.
Hey DMS does it sound the same when used wired I was thinking on using it as a gaming headphone but kinda worried if the graphs shown is just DSP corrected
I own one of these. The wired audio is definetely worse than BT. Already got them replaced two times by the JBL/Harman warranty program and they still sound the same which makes me believe that this is their intended way of working since when wired the audio bypasses the internal board that Bluetooth use.
how’s battery life?
Bought this one. Feels great for the price, but it have some problems. First, the little conector doesn't fit in the hole in a proper way, making only one side working. This can be solved after pushing and pulling back the connector a little bit. And then, songs with channel panning effects (Left and Right - Charlie Puth, for example) aren't reproduced properly when the headphone is cabled. Can you tell me if you face the same issues?
Nope, no issue.
My Samsung Note 8's audio is noticeably fowngraded when wired, BT is better, I notice the bass sound wiidely different and I cant make the wired EQ sound as good as BT after a lot of fiddling. (the only EQ I use is the EQ in the samsung music default app).
otherwise with my other phone, a Huawei p smart+, the audio is impeccable and the same wired and bluetooth.
on my laptop there's no downgrade either.
I think it really depends on the device youre plugging it in. I tried using my Epos B20's audio output where I can plug headphones as passthrough, and despite using my laptop's exact same settings as my laptop's audio jack output, it sounds SOOOO much worse. so maybe you're running into this issue ?
I have had no issue with the wired connection, solid thus far (a week and a half of owning it)
@@Arovna on my crappy Motorola phone, the treble in wired mode is just unlistenable, there's a lot of sibbilance. I have do reduce the treble frequencies all the way down. Bluetooth is fine. Anyway i already acionated JBL warranty, they will send me another one and i pretend to buy a dongle dac amp for this little guy to see if It sounds better.
So do I buy this or Q30 anker
