 Muddy sound mars otherwise acceptable headphones November 16, 2007

I got these headphones to use during exercising. Their compact, foldable design makes them a pretty good choice for that, and the current Amazon bargain price was acceptable. They're also comfortable enough for that use.
However, the sound reproduction is mediocre indeed. It's muddy, and lacks definition in the high end. There's over-emphasis on the bass, but it's not the thumping bass you may be expecting. It's indistinct and fuzzy.
I compared them side-by-side with my desktop headphones, which are Sony MDR-V6 Monitor Series, admittedly a higher-end product, but the difference was quite dramatic. For a product that claims to be a "reference", the JBLs are disappointing. I may use them at the gym, but I won't be using them anywhere else.
If you really want good sound, or even decent sound, you should look elsewhere. If you just want something better than earbuds for your MP3 player, then I guess these will do.
 Great sound, a pleasure to use. December 21, 2006

I just purchased these two days ago as an upgrade from my ipod 5.5g stock headphones. I was looking for an affordable pair of headphones that would provide decent sound qaulity. I usually do a little research on things before I buy them, but decided to give these a try given JBL's reputation on home speakers and the price.
I will say I am very impressed with the sound. Now these do seem to favor the low end and if you like bass, these would be a good pick. After adjusting the EQ to bring up some middle and high end to equal out the lows, these sound awesome. The construction seems adequate, and for comfort they seem pretty good, they do fit snuggly on my head and after wearing for a couple hours at a time, no problem. Very pleased. I like the in line volume control and also the fold-up portability. I am listening to these on my ipod with my music ripped at aac 192 vbr.
So to summarize:
Great overall sound
Good snug fit
Compact sturdy design
Bass heavy
B+ on comfort, A- on sound
 Simply awesome headphones May 8, 2007

What a great pair of headphones! I use these at work, where I want something light and compact, but sounds great too. The on-ear padding is very comfortable, while the headband is snug and fits my head well. I also like that these headphones don't mess up my hair, since the small cups don't go over my ears.
Sound-wise, the bass is great for the type of music I listen to (electronic). They are plenty loud and there is no distortion at higher levels.

this is the worst product of this type I have ever encountered....Packaging:very difficult to open...Sound: overemphasis on a muddy bass tone without adequate balance for the mid (speech) frequencies....Highs: non-existent....
Head phone hardware...too stiff and non-conforming....
They should not have labeled this product "Reference.".....the give-away headphones have more midrange clarity...this is not a product for serious listening or a Senior citizen who has some high frequency hearing loss....
Excellent headphones! May 19, 2007

After realizing that my midnight music may be keeping my siblings up at night, I decided to research for good headphones. Decided to research for a pair of headphones that were affordable and may have noise cancelling features. Thought of the Bose Comfort 3 Noise cancelling headphones, but at their price decided to look for something more affordable. Stopped by a local Staples to check out regular headphones and stumbled upon these JBL Reference 410s (am I glad that I ran into these puppies). Didn't purchase them on the spot, but went back to work after lunch was over and researched them. Not too many reviews, but I knew that JBL made quality audio products at reasonable prices. After short of using a chainsaw to open the internal packaging sealing the headphones, I realized that the headband was very rigid (new product I suppose), but have since then gotten much loose. Have been using them for a few hours and love them. Clear sound, good strong bass without any hiss or distortion. And the best part of the whole thing is that although it may not be noise cancelling, it surely does act like it is. Can't hear my any surrounding noise, and I live right behind a high school which constantly has athletic events on their football field. Music I'm playing off of my XM radio has totally silenced the announcer. Great buy if you're looking for a quality pair of headphones that aren't priced ridiculously high.
