To recap
If what you’re looking for in a pair of earphones is a no-nonsense, versatile and comfortable pair of in-ears, the JBL Everest Elite 150NC fit the bill. They not only deliver loud, lively sound, but also have a comfortable all-day fit and some advanced active noise-cancelling features to boot. Shame the battery performance is miles off what’s claimed.
