Top positive review

These sound really good!

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2018

I'm not sure what the other people are complaining about when it comes to the highs on these. I listen to allot of heavy metal and the highs are amazing. Highs are clear and full bodied. The bass is also really good with these, better then my JBL T110's, T290's and Anker Sound Buds Verve. Mids are very defined as well.

These are typical JBL earbuds and have that typical JBL sound signature which is boosted lows and highs. Also if you want to compare these to the old E10's these E15's are better in everyway. The highs are much better while reaching deeper, fuller sounding bass tones, the build quality, plug design and cord material which is a thick fabric like material for the main cord is also better. The control pod has a large button that's easy to locate and has a good feeling click. These also come with a small carry pouch and additional ear tips.

So overall these sound great with heavy metal, punk, rock, and even the few hip-hop groups I listen to. I also listen to some New Wave here and there. So far I'm really enjoying these earbuds I welcome them to my small collection.

Update 6/15/18

I've bought another pair of these in black again to have as a backup. I've started to wear these everyday to work, the comfort and sound quality from these is unlike anything I've every bought before at this price range. They outperform every pair of Sony earbuds I've ever owned, they out perform any pair of previous generation and current gen JBL earbuds I've ever owned and they out perform the Anker Soundbuds Verve earbuds I bought recently.

These JBL E15's just give you so much of everything! The more I use these the more I like them! I've never liked a pair of ear buds so much that I've wanted to purchase them a second time. These are so comfortable and again the sound quality is just awesome, you don't even have to turn the volume up that much to get good audio quality! So yes I recommend these, they have well over a 200 hours on them by now, I use these everyday for work, if I ever break these I'll gladly buy another pair!

JBL E15 earbuds are a must have for me!

Not great not horrible

I expected better out of JBL, but it was super cheap, so I mean, you get what you pay for, they work, just don't have great bass tone.

As alwyas JBL products are 100% quality, I purchased this item as a gift for my Dad, he was very pleased with the sound, he wanted to have headphones with cord, and this JBL model was perfect. I have no complains, they got delivered very fast, no issues with the package, nor the item. I definetly recomend these cord headphones if you are looking for high quality and a reasonable low price.

Crisp sound. Well constructed.

Got these “used” for $11, though the box, wrapping, phones etc. were not used, just a return. For the price the sound is crisp. Not the best bass but OK. The earplugs do slip off easily so not the best if used while moving. Does not really seal so noise cancellation is limited. I am using with simple MP3 players and IPhone 7 Plus (with adapter) no problems. Well constructed and does not appear to be a fake.

Great option if you don't have too many exigencies with music sound. I am very Happy with then. It really cancells the noise from outside and the sound quality is very good

JBL is my favorite brand of headphones. They usually last a long time and when they go bad I just buy another pair. I was a little worried because of the reviews but I've had these headphones for a while and they've worked excellently.

Not the cheapest nor the best when it comes to sound but they hit that sweet spot in both departments.

On second thought, these are a decent pair of earbuds. At the original price of $40 it was too much, but at $20 it is decent, though there may be better ones out there for this price. There's a slight problem. The bass is decent for most music, not overly lacking or boosted which is a good thing. The highs are very clear but sometimes they're too sharp like maybe 5% of the time. Mostly rock is affected and I can't notice at all in other genres, like when there's plenty of instruments at once, specific instruments like cymbals, the letter "S", they hurt to hear occasionally. It's not a deal breaker and can be fixed with equalizations and maybe
it's also affected by your device. For example listen to Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden with it's elongated S's and it becomes painfully obvious (no pun intended). The build quality is great. It has a nice braided cable that doesn't tangle and feels solid. It has also gone through a lot of abuse in my daily activities (cable snags, accidentally stepping on the cable, drops, crushes etc.) and it looks brand new. The comfort is okay. I've had cheap Skullcandy earbuds that feel more comfortable. The main problem is the size of the plastic part the eartips go over I believe. They are just slightly too big which doesn't make the earbuds very uncomfortable, but they could be improved. Get a more comfy pair of eartips (the Skullcandy tips that come with their earbuds are good I've found). It comes with a nice pouch. The controller is nice for pausing/playing but I wish it had volume control, and the microphone is clear but not of amazing quality, which is typical. Overall I would not recommend these earbuds unless you can find them cheap at a Ross or discount retailer for $20 or less.
