JBL headphones are always popular – but are they a good choice this Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
With Black Friday just around the corner, and the early deals already rolling in, it’s a great time to think about buying your next pair of headphones, whether you need a pair of hard-working over-ears for analytical listening or some convenient true wireless earbuds to power your workouts. However, Black Friday deals can come in thick and fast, often selling out very quickly – so it’s a good idea to know what you’re looking for ahead of time, and that includes which headphone brands you want to keep an eye on in the run up to November 27. One of the audio brands commonly discounted over Black Friday and Cyber Monday is JBL; in recent years it’s become something of a mid-range hero, offering everything from noise-cancelling headphones to wireless earbuds at lower prices than more premium brands like Sony and Bose. Don’t let it’s middling price range put you off, though; JBL had a long and pretty distinguished history in the world of home audio (and beyond – its speakers powered Woodstock in 1969), and many of the JBL headphones we’ve tested recently have impressed. And there are already plenty JBL headphone deals to be had already, as the retailer has launched discounts across its range (including Bluetooth speakers and soundbars) in advance of Black Friday – though you’ll need to act fast, as they’re due to expire on November 8. One of the main reasons for buying JBL headphones is that they often offer many of the same specs as more premium brands, but at a lower price; and while these prices range from super-cheap to well over $100, you can be pretty much certain you won’t be paying as much as you would for a pair of Sony headphones.
