JBL is not only the world's largest manufacturer of professional loudspeakers, but also one of the few manufacturers that controls the development of raw materials, the design and production of loudspeaker units, and the design and production of loudspeakers. Although JBL headphone products cover high, medium and low ends, and there are many models, they have not received as much praise as their own speakers. JBL is rarely seen in the list of the best headphones from major media and evaluation agencies, and its award-winning headphones are also positioned at the lower end, making them more suitable for entry-level consumers.
 
With a score of 71, the JBL E25BT tied for third place in its genre, along with the Bose SoundSport Free, Jaybird X3 and Samsung Gear IconX 2018. The Reflect Mini 2 and T110BT were the winners of the VGP 2018 SUMMER and VGP 2019, and the Reflect Mini 2 received a score of 66 in Consumer Reports.
 
The division of JBL headphones and the naming of the series are confusing. In addition to the UA series positioning professional sports headphones, the Endurance series is suitable for outdoor sports, and the Reflect series focuses on "light sports", its E series, T series and V series (Everest series abroad) do not have their own obvious characteristics. JBL occasionally launches products that are not part of the above series, such as Grip, Live, etc. However, after comparison, it was found that except for the two series of UA and Endurance, which have strong sports attributes, the other series are very suitable for daily music listening, and the overall price of the E series is the lowest. It is also worth mentioning that none of the JBL Bluetooth headsets support aptX or AAC Bluetooth encoding.
 
JBL E25BT is only 499 yuan, which is the same as Bose SoundSport Free, Jaybird X3 and Samsung Gear IconX 2018 and other thousand-yuan headphones in the "Consumer Reports", its vocal performance is excellent, and it emphasizes low frequency more than other headphones. In addition, the E25BT's 8mm moving coil unit is larger than any other product in its class, and its 8-hour battery life is also at a high level. The Reflect Mini 2 and T110BT are two consecutive VGP award-winning headphones, with the same emphasis on low ends, but the Reflect Mini 2 has lower vocals, with average detail in the midrange and a lack of brightness in the high frequencies. The shortcomings of the T110BT are the lack of detail in the midrange and the lack of high-frequency extension. The Reflect Mini 2 is priced at 699 yuan, adding fast charging function and IPX5 waterproof ability, while the T110BT is 399 yuan.
 
In addition, models such as UA, Endurance Sprint and Endurance Dive are also worthy of recognition, all scoring 66 points in the "Consumer Reports", and the prices are 1899 yuan, 499 yuan and 899 yuan respectively, but they are not cost-effective compared to the E25BT. Consumers who prefer split headphones can consider the JBL Free at 1599 yuan, which is the winning model of VGP 2018 SUMMER.
