Last week I have purchased new budget earphone of JBL, the JBL T100A. I’m a bit choosy about headphones/earphones so it was hard for me to make a buying decision. I already have two headphones of JBL and since last 5 years and I’ve mostly used JBL earphones.
So you can assume I like JBL’s products. I had already read too many positive feedback on Flipkart and Amazon about this earphone, and since it’s not too pricey hence I thought to buy it, to end my curiosity of whether it is really worth the deal or not.
Some Important Features About JBL T100A
- Driver – 8mm
- Impedance – 16ohms
- Sensitivity – 100dBSPL
- Cable Length – 1.1m
- Single Button to receive calls.
- Mic inbuilt
The earphone is designed for cellphones so it also has a mic and the best part, it is positioned perfectly, which assists you to make calls easily and the person on the other side of the call can hear you clearly.
It’s not like other earphones which come with mobile phones because, in most of the bundled earphones, the mic is placed on the distant part of the headphone wire hence it becomes struggling for the person on other side of the call to hear the voice clearly. I’ve seen lots of people holding earphone’s mic near their mouth by using their hand struggling to talk. So this is the first thing I noticed in this earphone after unboxing.
The build quality is not premium but its good enough based on what you should expect in this price range.
Now coming to a very important part that is sound quality, I want to say that the customer feedbacks that I read about it were right. Yes, it has very good sound quality. I don’t think I’ll get better sound quality in Rs 700/- whereas mic is an added advantage. The bass is bit weak but it can be managed via customizing equalizer settings.
There are two things I would like to add, that everyone has their own choice of music and sound and other is the sound quality which also depends on the audio output of devices. For example, if I’m using it with Nexus 4 and One Plus One and I’m getting pretty much good sound quality on One Plus One including the bass.
Another thing I want to mention is, JBL T100 manages to deliver detail in its sound output. You can hear clarity in sound and you will feel every part of music very clearly. But on full volume, it sounds a bit noisy which can be managed by equalizer settings.
So overall this product is value for money and you can buy it if you are looking for earphone around Rs 700/-. On the contrary, if you can stretch your budget a bit more than you should go with Xiomi Piston or One Plus One Silver Bullet.
can the button on mic skip to next music track on cell phones?
does it contain the controls for increase and decrease the volume? bcz i have seen and noticed that it contain single control to cut and pick up the call. need clarification.

Everything is very good in this without the bass
According to me this item doesn’t give good bass, if you are a bass lover you willbe disappointed with it .But if you want to listen to music without bass it is awesome.
Good earphones in price range 700 .good bass use customize players like powerAMP & get pure bass.i am very satisfied with this.if u were looking for stylish one go for skullcandy
which is better Samsung EHS61ASNBECINU vs jblt100a
JBL T100A
hi,
is this earphone good to listen rock music which requires better treble?
Hi, I use them myself and listen, amongst others, to quite a bit of rock and metal.
My listening experience is very positive with these earphones, the sound is very clear and balanced, the bass not being too dominant is a plus imo for listening to rock and metal. With just the surround preset for the equalizer on my phone I get quality not too far from my previous sehnheiser high quality earphones.
Absolutely recommend!
Hi i am confused between the three, jbl t100, sennheiser cx 180 and tekfusion ecoofers also please tell the difference in t1t00 and 150
which is better soundmagic p21 /p11 or jbl t100?? help me guyz
Hey Subham,
Its hard to say which one is better because everyone has unique need and preferences. For me I like in-the-ear and rich bass, for me both JBL T100A and SoundMagic PL11 is equally nice only difference is JBL T100A has mic, now you have to decide what you need with mic or without mic.
Thanks..!!

does is this earphones fit inside ear comfortably while wearing a helmet?
This may not fit perfectly while wearing the helmet because size of ear-buds are bit larze.
Is the bass much weaker than samsung’s old default earphones !
not at all… its definitely better than Samsung’s old default earphones.
I’m pretty you must have sometime back tried the samsung default headsets, wanted to know will this be a good replacement for it. Planning to take these , coz of the low price and it being jbl.
Yeah it will be definitely a very good deal, but as mentioned in review if you can stretch you budget bit more buy Xiaomi Piston 2.
Good Luck..
This are excellent earphones for this price. I bought it only for Rs. 499/- from Amazon India. I can easily recommend it for its overall audio signature, I already have Plantronics Backbeat Pro and Audio Technica M50X.
