Wanting to get a new pair of headphones, I went to Best Buy and tried on many pairs by different brands. I eventually purchased Beats Solo 2 Wireless headphones, which were on sale for $200. I returned them a couple hours later. The sound quality was what I expected, but they were uncomfortable and the sound leaked pretty badly out of the speakers. I was always hesitant about Beats headphones, and this confirmed for me that they are an overpriced big brand name whose products don't measure up to competitors with lower price points.
So, I went back to Best Buy and purchased this pair of headphones after a little more browsing. I decided I wanted an over-the-ear style, rather than an on-the-year (like the Beats), to prevent sound leakage. My budget cap was about $200, ruling out the $300 elite pair. Bose headphones were out of my price range, and the Sony wireless extra bass headphones were a bit large and bulky for my taste. So that's how I landed on this pair.
The first and most important thing I'll address is the other reviews that mention the audio lag when watching videos. On first use, I tested this out via Youtube and experienced it myself. As some of the JBL responses indicate, there has been a software update that completely eliminates this problem. It is a very easy process and takes about 5 minutes to complete. At first it seemed a little intimidating and strange that headphones could need a software update, but it's painless. I promise.
Here is the url for the software update (Yes, it's a link to the Everest 300 pair, but the proper software isn't available on the Everest 700 page for some reason. It's the same software though)
After clicking the link, scroll down and click on "Manuals & Downloads" and then "HID software". After it downloads, unzip the files, open up the pdf instructions, and follow along. Again, it only takes a few minutes. Once the firmware update is done, you will no longer experience any lag while watching videos.
My entire review is based on having the updated software, listening to primarily rock/alternative music, and using the wireless function rather than the aux plug.
Pros: Comfortable - the cushions around the ears fit well and are soft. The cushion on top of the head is also comfortable Great sound - They get impressively loud and the bass is just right in my opinion. Not too much to where it overwhelms, but not too low either. In most cases though, I recommend to use EQ settings on whatever device you're using to listen to music to personalize your sound preferences. Bluetooth connectivity is simple and quick Very minimal sound leakage - I tend to listen to my music loud, so this can create a small amount of leakage at times. Compared to other headphones I've tried, the leakage here is MUCH smaller than other pairs. If you're listening at a normal volume, leakage is basically nothing The headphones fold up nicely The buttons on the exterior function well on android (play, pause, volume, etc.) You can use the provided aux cord (which has a volume button, play/pause button, and mic) if you wish or if the battery dies Style - Personally, I dislike how Beats headphones look because they're plasticy and glossy, meaning finger prints get all over them. I also don't prefer big bulky headphones, such as the Sony wireless extra bass headphones. For over-the-ear headphones, these were the sleekest and most stylish in my opinion. The finish on the headphones is nice, and for over-the-ear headphones, they're pretty lightweight and compact.
Cons It does not come with a carrying/travel case If you want to count this as a con, I wish it came in more colors. The store I purchased from only had gray in stock, and it looks decent. According to the site there is also black though When adjusting the headphones to fit the size of your head, the slider does not have any lock-in feature to keep it at that size. Sometimes I'll adjust them to the appropriate size, and I'll accidentally expand or retract one of the speakers when putting them on or taking them off
Overall, I feel as if this pair of headphones deserves 5 stars. For $200 it's hard to find a great pair of headphones. Everyone has different aesthetic, sound, and functionality preferences on their headphones. Personally, I use my headphones in more of a causal setting when lying around the house listening to music, or the occasional traveling on airplanes/in cars. So I just needed something that would stay comfortable for a long time, provide great sound, and not leak out sound to disturb others who are around. These headphones do everything I need them to do. I feel that my money was well spent on these.
This Sony SRSX2/RED portable speaker features Bluetooth 3.0 for wirelessly streaming rich sound or making hands-free calls with your compatible Bluetooth-enabled device. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 5 hours of battery life.
I purchased this speaker on sale for $30 off and it was a great choice. In my opinion it would've been worth paying the full $99 for. It is very simply to connect to my phone and tablet via bluetooth and for the size of the speaker, the sound is very impressive. It gets pretty loud and the sound quality is very high. It sounds like your're listening to music from a nice pair of desktop speakers. It's great for partys or just listening to music while you're hanging out around the house. Awesome product.
This album is absolutely incredible. I didn't have much expectations for it, at first, but every song on here is very catchy and has the classic Weezer sound to it. My favorites are "Da Vinci" and "The British are Coming." Definitely check out this album if you're a long time Weezer fan. It will blow you away.

With 32mm drivers and neodymium magnets ensconced in closed, sound-isolating leatherette ear cushions, these Sennheiser HD360 PRO over-the-ear headphones deliver sonorous audio and ensure comfort during extended listening sessions.
When I purchased these headphone, they were on sale for $90, compared to their normal retail price of $150. It was definitely a great purchase. These headphones are over ear (your ear is completely surrounded by the speaker) which is my personal preference for headphones. They are very comfortable on your ears and head with the soft cushions. The sound quality is very pure and clear. They do a great job of blocking out outside noise. Sound does not bleed out of the headphones when you wear them, which is good because anyone nearby will not be annoyed by hearing your music. The cord is really long, which is kind of annoying to me, but this can have it's upsides in certain situations I suppose. Overall, this is a great pair of headphones that are comfortable on your head, and give you a great sound, blocking out most exterior noise when you have music playing. These headphones also come with a zip up case, which is nice for travel. The headphones fold up to fit inside the case. I recommend this product for anyone who wants a great pair of headphones, but doesn't want to spend a ridiculous price for some of the nicest products on the market.
