Club One

"The sound quality is absolutely where the JBL CLUB ONE shines! These hands down are the cleanest sounding headphones I personally have ever used..."

Users consistently praise the clean and detailed sound, with good bass, allowing for rediscovery of music.

"They're amazing, slightly heavy but not uncomfortable at all with continuous use."

Most users find the headphones comfortable for long periods, though some mention they are heavy and the earcups can get hot.

"I love my JBL Club One and wanted to get a second pair to leave at the office and they seem to be discontinued. I liked the heavy metal frame, it's basically indestructible."

The build quality is frequently described as excellent, robust, and durable, with a heavy metal frame being a particular highlight.

"Making phone calls is very clear for both parties due to the array of microphones around the headphones and the noise cancellation appears to also aid in call quality."

Call quality is noted as being very clear for both parties, with noise cancellation aiding the microphones.

"although i miss the better anc and ldac i love the jbl sound."

While the headphones offer good sound and build, users note a lack of features like better ANC compared to competitors and limited app customization.

"The JBL Club One sound very good, offering a nuanced, detailed listen but for bass and energy there are better noise cancelling cans."

The sound is generally described as balanced, clear, and detailed, with good bass and mids, though some find it a bit too polite and lacking dynamism without EQ adjustments.

"I’ve not had many issues in terms of comfort – the amount of padding on both the earpads and the plush leather headband makes sure of that – but if you wear glasses along with a face-mask, I’ve found the pressure can distract over long periods."

The headphones are generally comfortable due to ample padding, but the tight clamping force and significant weight can be a drawback for some users during extended wear.

"23 hours of battery life is fine... but 23 is enough for several days of regular use and better than the AirPods Max."

Battery life is a strong point, with users reporting around 23-25 hours with ANC on and up to 45 hours with ANC off, which is considered excellent and sufficient for multiple days of use.

"The JBL Club One are well-built, look great and sound good too."

The build quality is consistently praised as premium, durable, and robust, utilizing a combination of metal and high-quality plastic that gives a solid feel.

"The mic offers solid intelligibility... The mic signal is strong, and callers should have no issue understanding you."

Call quality is described as solid, with good intelligibility and a strong mic signal, allowing callers to understand the user clearly, though some typical Bluetooth distortion is noted.

"The JBL Club One comes with all the hallmarks you’d expect from a premium pair of wireless headphones. They have adaptive noise cancellation, ambient awareness, voice assistance, Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity..."

The headphones offer a good range of features including voice assistant support, a useful app with EQ, and physical buttons, though Bluetooth range is noted as a minor weakness.

"the sound quality representation of these headphones is pretty competent whereby they compete with the likes of let's say the sony and bose headphones and in fact beat them in certain domains."

The sound quality is generally praised for its punchy bass, clear mids, and good extension, often outperforming competitors in these areas, though some find the treble slightly sibilant and the soundstage a bit closed.

"they weigh 378.5 grams... it really does feel quite hefty... the clamp force of the headphones is pretty tight."

The headphones are frequently described as heavy with a tight clamp force, leading to discomfort during extended use, particularly for those who wear glasses.

"if you were to have no anc enabled and you just use them over bluetooth you can get up to 45 hours... if you were to enable bluetooth and anc what you'll find is that figure goes down to 23 hours."

Battery life is good when ANC is off (up to 45 hours), but significantly reduced to 23 hours when ANC is enabled, which is decent but not class-leading.

"this is definitely 100 one of the most premium headphones i've actually reviewed on my channel... the whole product just oozes quality."

The build quality is consistently lauded as excellent, with premium materials like metal hinges and supple leather, giving the headphones a sturdy and high-quality feel.

"the jbl club 1 do a fantastic job although they're not just they're not as good as the likes of the nc700s which are still reigning supreme."

Call quality is described as decent, with voice reproduction being clear, but it struggles to cancel out background noise as effectively as some competitors.

"big bummer though these do have high res certified drivers but you can only enjoy high-res audio when connecting them with a cable because these don't support wireless high-res audio streaming through codecs like aptx hd or ldac."

The headphones offer useful features like multi-point pairing, a comprehensive app with EQ customization, and voice assistant integration, but are limited by only supporting SBC and AAC Bluetooth codecs.
