Our Verdict

JBL E55BT Wireless

JBL Everest 710 Wireless

The JBL Everest 710 Wireless are better headphones than the JBL E55BT Wireless. They are more comfortable and better built, which gives them a more premium feel. Their battery life is noticeably longer, and they have a unique music-sharing feature. They also have a more neutral-sounding audio reproduction, so fans of bass may prefer the sound of the E55BT. Also, the E55BT are a bit tighter on the head, offer better stability, and are more affordable than the Everest 710.
