Evolution Trading Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of JBL products in Nepal, has launched E45BT and E55BT in the market of Nepal recently. These two wireless headphones are the latest ones in the E-series of JBL headphones. JBL E45BT and E55BT are now available for purchase from any Evo-Store Outlets at the price of Rs. 12,500 and Rs. 15,800 respectively.
JBL E45BT: Wireless On-Ear Headphone
JBL E45BT is one great of an offering from JBL in the E-series of JBL Headphones. It was first released in October 2016 and its availability in Nepal within 5 months from international release still can be considered soon enough. It is an On-Ear (Supra-aural) model so don’t expect it to hide your ear completely inside its leathered cushions. However, it rests pretty well on the ear and there’s enough of room for your ear to hear the sound coming from the surrounding as well. There are different perks of On-Ear headphone over Over-Ear headphone and the one I like the most is, the portability it offers being in a smaller dimension and yet without compromising the immersive sound experience. The usual controls like volume toggles, play/pause button, Bluetooth switch and power controls are placed around the right pad’s outer ring.
Here are few key highlights regarding the features of JBL E45BT:
- Powerful 40 mm speakers
- Textile headband
- Up to 16 hours operation time
- Frequency range: 20-20000 Hz
- Impedance: 32 Ohm
- Controls and microphone on the outer ear
- Colour: Black
- Includes charging (micro USB) and 3.5 mm aux audio cable (for wired use)
JBL E55BT: Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
JBL E55BT is an over-ear headphone offering from JBL in the E-series of JBL Headphones. It’s availability in Nepal now is pretty appreciable since it was first launched in October 2016. It is a little bulky one as it’s an over-ear one that can hide your whole ear inside of its leathered cushion. That way, you can enjoy your music by ignoring the sounds coming from the surroundings. Like E45BT, it also comes with aux cable that can be used with devices without Bluetooth connectivity. The control button Button placements are just like that in E45BT. The adjustable headband is well-padded and is covered with some fabrics. This headphone is claimed to provide 20hours playback time and once you go out of charge, you can charge it via microUSB port that sits on bottom part of the left pad.

Early Verdict
Major OEMs are throwing away 3.5mm Headphone jack one after another, so if you’re wondering when is the right time to get a pair of Bluetooth headphones then it is now. But headphones aren’t the easy ones to choose from so many available options in the market. Even in the market of Nepal, a wide variety of Bluetooth headphones can be found both the cheap ones and the premium ones.
So, while on a tight budget buying the cheap non-genuine ones can be considered to be an understandable decision. But, in a long run and for a quality music experience, nothing can beat the premium ones that might sound a little costly at first but in a long run are totally worth it.
