Design
The Everest Elite 700 is offered in black or white, and the overall look of both models is matte and easy. A JBL logo is emblazoned on every outer earcup panel, but there are few design flourishes otherwise. Huge circumaural (over-the-ear) earpads seal off the ear completely, and the plush padding is exceptionally useful and comfortable. The padding underneath the headscarf is slightly less luxe, so stress may be felt on the skull over longer listening durations. However typically talking, the Elite 700 offers a very comfortable fit.
A three-button control pad on the left earcup has pair buttons for Volume Up or Down (the amount works alongside your cell device’s master volume ranges), whereas a central, multifunction button controls playback, call management, and track navigation, depending on what number of times you press it.
The Smart Button on the right earcup is a nice function—throughout the app (mentioned below), you’ll be able to select whether you’d just like the Smart Button to automatically set your Ambient Awareness ranges primarily based in your present listening environment, or whether you need the button to act as an On/Off swap for the noise cancellation circuitry.

Plugging within the cable robotically disables the Bluetooth connection, however, it doesn’t energy down the headphones, as it’s doable to make use of the headphones in wired, passive mode, but additionally utilize the lively noise cancellation. (And no, you can’t adjust volume with the cable, its one drawback.)
Bluetooth
The 700 Elite are designed for use primarily as wi-fi headphones linked to a smartphone or different cell device by Bluetooth. However, they will also be directly related utilizing an audio cable, which is helpful for air journey. Once we paired it with an Android phone, we found that the connection may be very stable and that it labored very nicely even after we left the smartphone behind and walked to the opposite side of the constructing with a number of walls in between. There appears to be a slight buffer built into the system to get rid of skips when the phone is having momentary issues of its personal, which is refreshing, and the one actual problem arose whereas wearing them close to a WiFI router that was unusually busy, which prompted some minor crackling.
JBL Pro Audio
The 700 Elite certainly appear to be engineered for the audiophile market. Overall, the JBL Pro Audio sound high quality could be very impressive with sturdy fidelity in the high, middle, and low ranges, and exceptional clarity with great spacial feel. The bass is nicely balanced and never overly assertive, whereas the high end is surprisingly clear – we frequently mistook it for an external sound. As well as, it’s very easy to separate individual instruments in a way that’s impossible with decrease bandwidth infrared sets.
Phone calls
Using the 700 elite for answering the phone just isn’t listed as a function and takes some experimenting to figure out that it’s the Play button that must be pressed to initiate and close each phone call. When making calls, we discovered that there was no echo both end, sound quality was good, and the microphone did in addition to any bendy gooseneck variety sans the annoying puff sounds.
App Control
The JBL Headphones app, free via Google Play Store and iTunes, lets you customise your audio experience. The interface is correct and thoughtfully designed—kudos to JBL for pulling that off because the app’s simplicity and usefulness should not as common in manufacturer-designed apps as they need to be.
Tailoring the bass or treble to your liking is likely one of the app’s benefits, however maybe one for the Best is with the ability to turn the noise cancellation on or off. When it’s on, you’ll be able to even adjust how much ambient room sound you hear, in case you want to have the ability to hear your surroundings however still wish for some cancellation.
