JBL Reference 220
These JBLs are turning out to be an excellent set of buds, especially for the cost of them. After a couple days almost continuous usage, they seem to be broken-in and are performing admirably well. The bass response is incredible and very accurate and tight. The midrange has toned down a bit to a wonderful, crisp, clean and detailed image. The highs are bright but not overly so.
These JBLs do have distortion in the bass and lower midrange at headbanger levels but for loud Jazz and contemporary or modern rock, they are great. The quality seems to be about average as these earbuds go. The cords are wrapped in a cloth mesh and they come with a nice container with a few accessories, a set of ear attachments, a 3.5mm to the standard home audio equipment headphone jack and an airplane jack.
