Need a Pair? Consider these...

Pros Good Sound.
Cons The Cord is Stupid.<br>Noise-Canceling Functions Don't Work.
Recommended it? No

Tomorrow is my birthday, and I am a musician. So the quality of my personal headphones is important to me. I also prefer to have noise canceling ones, so when my mom got me the JBL Reference 510 headphones as a present (I have a busy schedule so we celebrated last Friday.) I was ecstatic. But that...

OK for the COST

Pros Low cost, decent sound response without noise reduction, good noise reduction
Cons Not as capable as Bose or Steinhouser headphones, heavy and bulky
Recommended it? Yes

I got the JBL Reference 510 Active Noise reduction headphones at Costco using a $50 off coupon which made the final cost $49. To compare these headphones with Bose or Stienhouser noise reduction headphones would be unfair since those headphones would be 3X to 8X more expensive. The JBL headphones... Read full review »

Ouch! . . . and you'll NEED an extension cord!

Pros Typical JBL sound quality, "interesting" design, good snug fit.
Cons Can be too tight, needs extension cord, advertised 6-ft cord is untrue.
Recommended it? No

I saw both the 410 and 510 Reference Series by JBL for the same price and thought, well maybe the 510 has something more to offer. The specs of the 510 match almost exactly those of the REF410BKH, with the exception of (i) the in-line volume control, which I wish the 510 Reference had, and (ii) the... Read full review »

Weird and obnoxious extra battery/circuit pack......

byjerry5076 Jul 21, 2007
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Cheap. Very good sound quality and noise cancellation.
Cons Tight fitting phones. Ridiculous Y-corded battery/circuit pack, annoying.
Recommended it? No

Unlike other reviewers, I found these to be reasonably comfortable. They do sit firmly on the ears, the only way to get acoustic audio isolation from not-fully-over-the-ear type phones, but I wore them for a 2 1/2 flight with no bother. The sound is very good, reasonably balanced with good highs... Read full review »

Disappointing even for the price

Pros Better than regular headphones.
Cons Painful to wear for long periods, way too much noise leaking in.
Recommended it? No

I got these from Costco for $50 off. My earplug/headphones are 100 times better and a fraction of the cost at Walmart. Much more mobile too. I don't know why anyone would use these over earplug headphones. These JBLs really hurt after a while. Maybe it's because I've had them for a day or so and... Read full review »

Not the ones you want

Pros Good sound. Lightweight.
Cons Uncomfortable; useless noise cancellation; separate noise cancellation unit is...
Recommended it? No

I bought the JBL Reference 510 Headphones because they were on sale (half-price) at Costco. I will describe the headphones as very disappointing. They aren't comfortable. The noise cancelling circuitry is in a separate unit that clips to a belt (or other portion of clothing), and appeared to me to... Read full review »
