Jlab bombora?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I've gotten a pair of the monoprice 8323s at the recommendation of this forum. I absolutely love the sound quality however they aren't the most comfortable or attractive looking headphones in the world. Because I keep my headphones around my neck almost all day, I wanted something that looked good without sacrificing quality (beats are quite guilty). I've stumbled upon the Jlab bombora headphones and they seem to fit the bill, however there are very few reviews on them. Do any of you know about these headphones or the company in general, and would you recommend them?

Really? Nobody know anything? Don't want to sound mean or anything xD. I'm just not an audiophile, but I still appreciate higher quality cans.

I just got my bomboras today and when working they sound pretty good, although I am most definitly an audiophile. these headphones are very comfortable although the ear cups are a tad small so if you have large ears, they may not fit comfortably. these dont really fit comfortably along the neck that much. now i should note that these are my second pair as my first pair was DOA. My second pair work great accept the audio cable doesnt work unless you are constantly holding down the button which is normally used to skip to next track etc. but that doesnt work either. now I have bought some j5s awhile ago and when they broke, (accidentally sat on them) I filed a claim and got replacements in about a week. Jlab really do care about their costumers and for the dead audio cable I emailed them and im already getting a replacement in the mail. Now more on the sound, the bass is really strong with some ok highs and almost great mids. I expect them to get better after some burn in time and maybe an headphone amp. Hope this helps!

oops, I meant to say most definitely NOT an audiophile.

I have a pair of these that I bought on a whim from Amazon. First off they are nice looking headphones. Now for the sound. I find them very unacceptable. I have done the burn in as per there instruction. They can really boom the bass in right into the midrange, they have what there people tell me is a sound curve. When listening to a piece with vocals with a cymbal  keeping tempo in the backround it was hard to even hear the cymbal at all. To go further on this I used a video (Diana Krell Live In Paris). On track two there is a part where the Bass guitar and the drummer is just tapping the cymbals. At high volume the bass guitar is rattling the hell out of the phones but you can hear the cymbal. Turning the volume down fix's the bass guitar problem but now the cymbal is gone. I mean you can see it moving but no sound coming through. That's to sharp of a curve for me. They have offered to exchange them but I see no point in that becouse there is no defective there just not even a little bit accurate. I have five set's of headphone's and anyone of them can make a joke out of the Bombora. Even the least of my Phones (Sony V6s) makes these sound like junk. For my part from now on if I can't listen to the headphone first somewhere I'm not buying them.
