JBL LIVE200BT Wireless in-Ear Neckband Headphones Review: Last month JBL launched five live series headphones in India. One of these neckband pattern in-ear headphones – JBL Live 200BT. The company had priced it at Rs 5299. However, it is currently being sold for Rs 3999. We have used it and now we are going to bring you the review.
Design and Concert
Nowadays there is a lot of demand in the market of wireless headphones with netband pattern. There are quite a lot of headphone designs in the market with Neckband patterns. Nonetheless, talking about its build quality, its neck porsion has used soft rubber, which is quite flexible. Also in the left and right potters, hard plastic is present in the botan. Here are all the control buttons in the right side. Wire is connected to the earband to connect the earphone, it is quite small and has fabric coating. In this way, it is very easy to keep and use it. It has been done in such a way that it stays under the right ear during use. The good thing is that earbuds have been given a special angle for better grip in ear and better sound output.
The plastic anel of its right side has two LED indicator (charging and connectivity), micro USB charging port, microphone and power on / off switch. It is very easy to connect. A separate switch has been made for the power button, for which only single access is enough. On the other hand, i.e. there is a slightly raised multi button on the outside and there are volume rockers. Multi buttons can be used to activate Google Play / Pause, Call Cut / Receive and Double Assist on activating Google Assist or Siri.
While holding Volume Rockers for a few seconds the song can be preferred or preceded. However, I would like to tell you here that there is some problem in using its volume rockers. Because the volume rockers have been slightly slower than the multi button. In such a way, it is necessary to have a little more striggle when using it. It is possible that the company would have done this for the Easy access to the Multi Button, but due to this the problem is increased.
It's easy to use in terms of its overall build quality, and body material is also strong and brilliant. But the problem is that it is not so good to look. That is, the first thing is that the wires given to attach the earphone to Nababanda are small. If they attach to the magnets, then its look is not good. Apart from this, none of the magnets like play / pause work.
Apart from this she looks quite broad on wearing shirts. That is, it can be said very rarely of casual, semi casual or sporty look. Similarly, while wearing a slight trouble shirt, it may also be that if the collar is covered with a microphone, it is difficult to talk during the call and the wire is also trapped. It also seems to slip on having a little miss balance. This is just a few problems in this neckband.
Performance
Here are 8mm dynamic drivers available. We have used this earphone with many genres like Classical, Psychedelic Rock, Jazz, Rock, Dubstep, EDM, BDM, Metal, Trans and Folk. In almost every genre, these in-ear Bluetooth Headphones give amazing audio output. Highs, Mids and Lows are all perfect here. Especially the output of sub-base is so sharp and crispy that you will be quite enjoyable. The output of the Lows is as great as the Mids and Highs are also sharp and clean. The special thing is that in this wireless headphone you will not be eritite on full sound. In such a case, I would prefer to give it a sound quality 5/5. The Price Range OnePlus Bullet Wireless Headphones also comes with a price of Rs 3,990. We also used it, but JBL's live 200BT audio quality is much better.
Talking about calling performance, because there is no feature of active noise cancellation, there may be some difficulty in talking in the market places or in the biking. There will be no problem in the rest of the regular calls. Apart from this, it takes 2 hours to fully charge it, and once fully charged, we have run it for about 9.5 hours. In this context, battery performance is also quite strong.
Conclusion:
In case of look, this headphone can be a little disappointing. For the rest of the audio lover, it can be called the best wireless Bluetooth earphone in the budget range. In such a way, the lover of music can put money in it comfortably.
Rating– 8.5 / 10
