@@jasonMB999 youre full of crap sorry to tell you, jbl just didnt put enough marketing efforts like sony and other companies. Their tws and headphone lineups are up there with the top contendors, and its with headphones only. In terms of speakers they are killing all of these companies with no effort. Their car speakers are also great, they just do everything with quality.

Absolutely! Glad it helped. These truly went under the radar for some reasons, I love them a lot. I'm sure you'll enjoy them.
Great review, thank you for making me buy them!
I bought these two days back . Very premium feel. Looks so cool.Very very comfortable. ON off switch is super helpful. Do not compare the bass to beats headphones. It is not that great but definitely better than Bose. Haven’t tried the Sony myself. . Only one con .. It couldn’t cancel out the loud train track noise. It blocked to like 75-80 percent. Other than that I give it 9 on 10.
this was a great review thank u i just bought these i cant wait to grt them

You are so calm and peaceful with the execution of your review. You gave a great presentation. It was refreshing to listen to your thoroughness, and to watch how you handled the headphones, turning them and moving the parts almost like a slow mesmerizing dance, showcasing everything. Your review was spot on. Thank you.

Wow, thank you! Sounds so cheesy but seriously comments like these are the best and are what make me want to get better at this. Hope you're well! I love these headphones till this day.
JBL actually makes very good headphones, and it should be known. I used the JBL live 650 and last December I got the Sony hear on 3. Even though the Sony were louder and had better ANC, the sound on the JBL was much much better. Everything is so clear. I think I'll get the tour one during festive season.

Hi Adam, loving your honest and realistic reviews. I'm completely lost on this purchase as I'm between so many options. I'm mainly comceerned about sound quality as well as comfort. Not super interesred in ANC performance (happy if it's good enough but not my essential) . Do this sound clearly better than xm4s? I tried xm4s at the mall and did not sound excellent to me. Thanls in advance

The Tour One's are on sale at Best Buy for $149.99. I'd say just take advantage and get these asap because of that deal. The sound quality and comfort are much better than the XM4's. The XM4's have better ANC and Speak to Chat. That's the only advantage in my opinion. Even the microphones are pretty similar for calls.
Thank you for this wonderful review but I have a question is it good with Ios system because i have an i phone and I felt that I will buy the beats solo pro ( so also , is it better than the beats solo pro ) Thanks 🙏
I did the firmware update these are great headphones I stream my music from deezer. Thanks for this recommendation these beat xm4s hands down!

@@TechOutAdam I like them for the price I paid around 120US$. I find the ANC to be lacklustre, the sound is good but only after I played a little with EQ. With flatline the sound was really bad. I’m yet to play them through auxiliary and test the hi-res part. But if I paid retail asking price I would be genuinely disappointed. I need to play around a bit more though. Are you aware if these support AAC? I have found conflicting views on Google.

Don’t sleep on JBL speakers. They reproduce EVERYTHING. I’m a recording musician and I will often hear things from my JBL system in the car which even my monitors seem to miss. Crystal clear. A little coloring in the sound? Yes, but a far better color than most on the market.
I didn't like the JBL tour one I have Soundcore q30 from Anker. That's one third of price but the sound is amazing on Q30. It broke since I dropped so bit cheap plastic but no way JBL is even near Q30 on sound quality I watches top gun songs and trailer with both changing settings and everything but with Q30 the clarity of voice and base make you feel you are watching in a movie theater.i am disappointed the look and feel is classy

I have a few different high end over ear headphones, I won't list them all, including these. I got these at costco over a year ago for like.. idk, I wanna say $180 or something like that. They definitely were not worth that. I've used mine a lot, mostly cuz it's just convenient. I like the form factor and the touch controls, the foam is nice. The battery life is okay. Better than airpods max. Nowhere near soundcore. The noise canceling is defective garbage. Meaning it clips with loud noises and huts your ears. As far as performance, its barely better than the soundcore Q30 which is very low bar, nowhere near what premium stuff does. They are comfy the issues is mine are wrecked after a year. The cups are trash. Headbands are trashed. I found out the cups are changeable which is nice. The plastic on mine is starting to crack on the headband also. I got some airpods pros 2 when those came out and those are AMAZING.They sound as good and cancel sound as good as my max. Thats where I'm at now. I got some memory foam pads for mine, one of my 2 sets, and I alternate those. If I had paid $300 for the jbl I'd be furious. Just to be clear I only used my jbls in my home office, working from home, for basically 1 year before they were trash I'd be embarrassed to be seen with. They're falling apart. They still work but they are gross.
If anyone is consider buying these headphones to use for travel then DO NOT. They are useless. The noise cancelling is terrible and they are VERY quiet. When I used these on a plane I was unable to hear the movie over the noise of the engine. My cheap $10 earphones were louder so I used them instead. AVOID.
