JBL Soundgear Sense

JBL's debut in the open-ear market is a success. The Soundgear Sense convince with a balanced and pleasant sound. Thanks to the large plug body, they are also easy to use. Only the somewhat short battery life of six and a half hours and the large charging socket are minor drawbacks.

The JBL SoundGear Sense performed solidly when tested and offer a lot of sound at a good price. The earbuds require a little patience to put on at first, but then sit securely and firmly. Even after prolonged wear, the comfort is still good, but spectacle wearers may be bothered by the design...

With the Soundgear Sense, JBL delivers open-ear headphones that offer entertaining sound for uncritical listeners. The sound can even compete with conventional in-ear headphones, which sit directly in the ear canal, and is really good by open-ear standards. The comfortable fit and the additional neckband round off the overall picture and make the Soundgear Sense really competent sports or leisure headphones...

The JBL Soundgear Sense Sense actually surprised me positively when I tested them, because the sound quality of the open-ear headphones is far superior to anything I've heard in this area before. JBL's innovative technology actually manages to deliver a rich, detailed and even bass-rich sound that doesn't lose too much...
