In this review I compare two of the most popular Bluetooth headphones, the JBL T450BT and JLAB Neon wireless headphones which both cost just under $40.00 in the US or just under £40.00 in the UK.

Both headphones have a good battery life which is 11 hrs for the JBL T450BT and 13 hrs for the JLAB NEON. Both headsets come with USB charging cables but the JLAB NEON has a more generous 30% longer (blue) cable.

JLAB T450BT vs JLAB NEON Bluetooth headphones.. which is the best?

JBL headphones are known for their pure bass sound and in this review I  find out how good the bass and sound quality is for two of their most popular budget in-ear headphones, the JBL T110BT and JBL TUNE 205BT. These two headphones are similar in price and at the time of this review were as follows;

JBL T110BT –  £29.99 from Amazon UK

JBL TUNE 205BT –  £34.99 from Amazon UK

The ear buds for each set of headphones are significantly different in design from each other. The TUNE 205BT ear buds which are a similar design to Apple’s ear buds don’t sit fully in the ear and so are more comfortable to wear for longer periods and in my experience provide a higher quality of bass sound too.

The only downside to these ear buds is that they don’t offer much noise cancelling where as the T110BT which use the standard in-ear design sit deeper in your ear canal and hence provide a reasonably good level of passive background noise cancelling.

The downside to the T110BT ear buds is that they are less comfortable to wear for long periods and in my experience I prefer not to wear them for more than 20 mins where in contrast I can wear the TUNE 205BT earphones all evening without any comfort issues.

Watch my detailed YouTube comparison review on both sets of these headphones where I compare their sound quality, comfort, usability and value for money and give a final verdict and score out of 5 for both.

The JBL T110BT Bluetooth wireless earphones produce great sound quality for the price, but whether you like more or less bass in your sound can depend on the device you are connecting them too.

I have tested the sound quality of these earphones with my iPhone, Laptop and Smart TV.  Watch my video below to see my results and where I will also show you how to connect/pair these Bluetooth headphones to your smartphone.

Troubleshooting Guide – How to Connect Your Headphones

If your headphones wont pair with your device try one of these most common  solutions:

• Check your headphones are not already paired with another device. If they are then you will need to unpair them from that device or switch off Bluetooth on that device before you can connect them to another device.
• Your headphones could be trying to connect to another device instead of your preferred device. For example if you are trying to connect your headphones to your laptop but they are trying to connect to your smart TV instead. In this situation you can try switching your TV or any other competing Bluetooth devices off while you connect your headphones to your preferred device such as your laptop.
• Switch the Bluetooth option on your device to ‘On’ first, before you press the on/off button on the side of your headphones.
• Make sure your headphones are fully charged.
• If you’re adding your headphones as a new Bluetooth device to your PC in Windows, and you get a pop up with 3 options, make sure you select the top option as shown below:
