When we received the earphones, looking at
its packaging the first thing that we noticed was that it is made only for
iPad, iPod and iPhone. This kind of did not go down to well with all the
"Android Loyalists" at the office. So, we decided to test the
earphones on an iPhone.

JBL J22i
First impressions
After unboxing them, you would notice that
the white and grey combination is quiet catchy. With the trademark JBL
"Orange" colored insertions, on looks this is a fancy looking set of
earphones. So, plugged in and all set we played the first song "It's my
life" and we loved the deep and powerful bass experience that these
earphones offered. Another element that impressed us was the flat wires instead
of 1 round ones. These don't tangle irrespective of how you treat
them. The carry pouch is quite effective too.

Review
The music quality that these earphones
offer is quite superior. As claimed by JBL, the product does bring out the
intensity in the music with its deep, accurate JBL Pure Bass. The slip -
resistant silicone sleeves don't cause pain to your ears in spite of using it
for long hours and the ambient noise reduction is very effective. We used it on
a computer while working, followed by a walk and then a bike ride, all this in
a span of 4 hours and not even once did we feel like re-adjusting the
earphones.
As far as the mic is concerned, it is quite
effective but does not live up to the expectations. Arguably, the only let down
of the product, during calls the opposite person struggled to hear our voice
clearly.
Verdict
The JBL performance drivers are probably
one of the only differences that separates this product from its competitors.
Although, seem like a product that will offer or money, spending this kind of
an amount for a pair of earphones is a little steep. As an earphone to listen
to music and only listen to music, it is a great pick but you can surely avoid
the microphone.
