JBL E55BT review
These JBLs are a solid bet if you want wireless on a limited budget
Good value ; Solid Bluetooth reliability ; Full-sounding bass
Slow bass decay ; Occasionally brash mids
A reasonable effort, but JBL needs to do more to impress

Quincy Jones fans will love the clean looks and tight sound profile the legend brings to the JBL E55BT.
Bright, vibrant upper register ; Wide soundstage ; Stylish design ; Easy connectivity ; Above-average battery life
Poor passive noise isolation ; Restrained bass response ; Pricier than base model

JBL E55BT review
Not everyone wants to spend $300 on a premium Bluetooth headphone, which is where products like JBL's E55BT come in. An over-ear headphone and top-end model in JBL's "value" E-Series line of wireless headphones, the E55BT is the successor to the E50BT...
The JBL E55BT is an attractively designed over-ear Bluetooth headphone that's relatively comfortable, sounds decent and works reliably. It folds up and flat and has decent battery life.
A bit of treble push, no carrying case included.
JBL's new top-end model in its "value" E-Series Bluetooth headphone line delivers solid sound and a comfortable fit for the price.

JBL E55BT Wireless Headphones Review
With thoughtful design and acceptably warm audio, the JBL E55BT is a great pair of budget wireless headphones.
Lightweight ; Seamless multi-device connectivity
Slightly suffocating ; Audio leak
The JBL E55BT has many strengths. In terms of design, thoughtful features make it highly portable, even if the build itself could have used less plastic to feel sturdier. Audio performance will displease only pure audiophiles – the warm sound signature...

At $200 JBL brings serious style to a crowded wireless headphone market with good audio fidelity and an on-trend dusty rose (pink) color to die for.
