The JBL J55i headphones literally put you in the center of professional-grade audio. Drawing on years of expertise building some of the finest loudspeakers in the world, JBL engineers created lightweight, on-ear headphones with a fresh look and uncompromising JBL sound. The JBL J55i high-performance drivers generate clarity and extended bass that competitive products simply can’t touch. A unique, DJ-pivot mechanism lets you rotate either ear cup up to 180 degrees, which frees up one ear to hear outside sound. Bold styling, including brushed, stainless-steel ear cup and headband accents, makes the JBL J55i headphones an aesthetic, as well as acoustic, triumph. Plus, the padded headband and ear cushions make these headphones comfortable for everyone except our competitors.
Premium High-Performance Drivers
The JBL J55i headphones employ 1-5/8-inch (40mm) drivers that produce outstanding
frequency response (16Hz – 20kHz), superior clarity and bass that is pure, deep and accurate. As a result, the JBL J55i headphones outperform competitive products costing much more.
Closed-Back Design
The JBL J55i on-ear headphones feature a closed-back design that blocks ambient noise and minimizes leaking. So outside noise stays outside, and your listening experience stays yours and yours alone.
Rotating, 180-degree DJ-Pivot Mechanism
Sometimes you need to be aware of more than just your music. The JBL J55i earphone ear cups can rotate up to 180 degrees while you’re wearing them so you can keep one ear on your audio and one ear on external sounds or conversations. The ear cups can rotate under the headband for storage and transport.
Single-Side, Detachable Cable
The JBL J55i headphones use a tangle resistant, flat-elastomer cable that connects to just one ear cup, which further minimizes tangling. The cable detaches from the ear cup for added flexibility.
Cable-Locking Mechanism
To keep the detachable cable secure when it’s connected, the JBL J55i headphones employ a unique, twist-lock mechanism. When you plug the cable into the ear cup, a simple twist locks it in place.
Rugged Strain Relief
A strong, secure connection between the housing and cable is critical for both durability and sound quality. The JBL J55i headphones feature a rugged strain-relief connector that dampens vibration for enhanced acoustic performance.
Apple Three-Button Remote with Built-In Microphone
Made specifically to use with the iPhone and iPod, the in-line remote offers familiar audio-playback controls, and a built-in microphone lets you answer calls with remarkable clarity while leaving the headphones on.
Bold Design and Premium Finishing
From the sandblasted stainless-steel headband and ear-cup accents to the matte-black or -white housings, and from the embossed JBL logo to the cable that matches the ear pads, the JBL J55i headphones are designed to be as pleasing to the eyes as they are to the ears.
Padded Carrying Pouch
JBL sound is always worth protecting. The JBL J55i headphones come with a padded carrying pouch that keeps them safe from bumps and bruises when you’re not wearing them.
