Good sound, affordable price - Value for money
15 January 2019
Lots of request floating in @ What the WATT - Reviews for reviewing this entry level headphones from JBL. We got this headphones from a colleague and thought its time to post a detailed review after a week of constant usage.We tried plenty of entry level cheap headphones, time and again realizing one thing - "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low prices are forgotten"
Summary of review
1. Specifications – Mic and 1-button remote
2. Reasons to buy
a. Great fit and multiple right sleeves for that perfect bass response
b. Amazing bass
3. Reasons not to buy
a. Many options available if one can up the budget by 100 Rupees by JBL and other brands
Detailed review
Packaging - The one startling thing you notice when receiving this product from amazon is what lies beneath that packaging of Amazon is a great package of JBL and JBL has not compromised on their values to provide great packaging and great sound. When you compare the same with Mi or boat its pretty evident that there is a significant compromise on the packaging in order to probably provide a good product, but the compromise in other product department is also clear when one starts discovering other aspects of say MI and boat (Rating 5/5)
Design/Comfort – When choice is of great sound - its also for great aesthetics, you probably don’t want to carry an awful product in your ear/body and only enjoy great music, isn’t it ! JBL does not disappoint in design even at this entry level wired headphone. The wire is long (sometimes feels too long) but after a use of 2-3 days we find it quite manageable. The twin cable is back but JBL has some special engineering design for this good old twin cable – “High fidelity twin cable” (rating 3.5/5)
Sound – In a nutshell the audio is crisp and loud. This time I believe JBL got the voice of customer and packed a great sound in great price. The beauty of these headphones is you don’t have to screw those in your ear. One of the sleeve will fit perfectly to an Indian ear and that matters for experiencing the bass properly, a bad fit will certainly be not delivering experience of good bass. The shape of the headphone tube/canal is rightly angled – honestly we have not seen such a good design, it’s a little way from typical JBL design but we welcome that change which reflects in sound positively. Low frequency – 5/5, Mid/High Frequency – 4.5/5 – Voice clarity – 4/5. Over all sound is a go from our side and we give these headphones 4.5/5 rating
Durability – We ran an exhaustive test on these headphones especially on the electrical joints/abused them and these held on to the connections really long. Infact lifted a 2KG load with the cables to test strength and they did not break at all – A specially designed test in our labs
Call quality - Noise cancellation microphone is indeed a treat to the ears while on call and a one button remote is certainly value for money at the price. We give it 5/5 for the microphone and call quality. Remote is of great usage, smart one button remote in same microphone housing - wonderful (Single press - Mute/start music, Double click - Next song)
Overall rating – If you are looking for a budget good sounding product and value the brand you get associated with – JBL C50HI is for you. We rate these 4/5 and not many entry level headphones get past 3.5 rating from our test lab and reviewers. So go for these headphones (pick any color from 3 available).

I loved to listen music with earphones. I have already used JBL c100si & c200si. I bought this one to gift someone. I used this JBL C50HI for 3-4 days & here are some points that will be helpful to decide to buy this or not.
Build- Earbuds housing made with plastic looks basic. Wire length is 1.2mtr. It is very thin & twin wire. Wire is not tangle free. It is not feel strong & durable. One good thing is L shape 3.5mm jack so you can put in pocket while sitting without no worries. Overall build quality is average.
Sound- Sound Quality is well balanced. Bass is good,Vocals & acoustics are clear even on 100% volume. And as I said sound output is well balanced so it is loud & clear but not so much loud so you can listen music on full volume. You will feel the true JBL Sound with this earphones. I used it with OnePlus 3T.
Earphones comes with in-line remote with single multifunctional button & Mic. Mic works good during calls.
Overall sound output is good you can feel the True JBL Sound Output with it but build quality is not so good. It doesn’t look premium & durable.
Suggestion- If you want listen good quality music then you can go for it but you need to use it carefully.
If you want use earphones roughly then go for Realme Buds/ BOAt Earphones but you need to compromise with sound quality.
Check earphones videos on my YouTube channel link in my profile.

This has a perfectly balanced linear sound. Neither too bassy nor too much treble. And the overall quality is good for the price too. I think it sounds almost similar to the Sennheiser CX-180 which is costlier. Also it is light and one of the most comfortable earphones that I've used.

I recently bought these earphones because I enjoy listening to music at all times and with this one, it's great to do so for its fit primarily.The buds are ideal for all ear size and the canal design makes it stay in ear all times. I did like the fact that it came with 3 sizes for the ear piece, because I can share my earphone with my brother too. And it the large size fits him perfectly well. Another issue that I used to face is with 3.5mm connector is not being compatible with my mobile phone because of the mobile case, but now it is easy and fits perfectly. Compared to the products that are available in this price range, I think this is the best one! The attention to details are credible especially to the connectors and ear buds.

Sounds good but the wires are not looking that durable and you cannot even return the item only replace is available so be careful before you order

JBL has always been my favourite right from the first flip, used the speakers before,I have to admit but it's become my most preferred brand for earphones now. The product was not just amazing in its sound output quality but easily better than a boat, skullcandy or a sony. It's simple, tangle free and neat not a whole lot of bells and whistles but performs what it is intended to do really well. After browsing similar products of the same price, it was clear to me that this definitely is the one for me . Strangely enough, I called a few times with the mic and the sound was distinct even when I picked calls while I was in an airport. I have in fact watched plenty of videos with these & pausing it is so much easier with the precise remote button on the earphones. Obviously wasn't expecting such clarity from a product priced at such a low end of things. Fits my budget and exceeds in performance for sure. In fact, I'm so impressed that JBL has introduced a product of this price range too! Another thing that I was really glad to see that its sound quality was not distorted even on laptop.
