Review: JBL Everest Elite 700 Bluetooth Headphones<img src="

With the Everest Elite 700 Bluetooth Headphones ($300), JBL shoots for the stars. Everest Elite 700's clean design exudes quality — round corners, soft-touch plastic, and rubber joined by sturdy metal connections. Though we would have appreciated more padding on the rubber headband (which is alarmingly similar to that of the Beats Solo HD), the Elite 700 is light enough to wear without discomfort. Hardware controls are available for power/pairing, play/pause/Siri, volume up/down, and a “Smart Button” for the Elite 700’s advanced features. We were surprised by the lack of track controls, which we feel should be standard on headphones like this. The Elite 700 collapses for storage, with ear cups nesting within each other for a satisfying headphone sandwich. That said, the Elite 700’s ear pads do seem to crush when folded, so it may not be advisable to leave them folded for long periods of time. While the Elite 700 looks impressive out of the box, JBL may have tried to do too much this time around.{/exp:char_limit}
