J88A BLACK
Deep, accurate bass that costlier products can’t match.
For over 60 years, JBL® engineers have crafted the precise, naturally articulated sound found in cinemas, arenas and recording studios around the world. That legendary JBL sound is now available anywhere personal audio travels. The premium JBL drivers in J88a over-ear headphones generate pure, accurate, extended bass that competing products simply can’t match. The headphones’ superb clarity means you hear the truth from your favorite music. Our unique DJ-pivot mechanism lets you rotate either ear cup up to 180 degrees, so one ear can hear outside sound. Bold styling sets the J88a headphones apart, while a padded headband and ear cushions make them as comfortable as they are distinctive.
A single-sided, flat elastomer cable resists tangling, and a one-button mic/remote lets you device answer and end calls, play and pause music without taking the headphones off. A twist-lock mechanism secures the detachable cable when it’s connected to the ear cup, and a rugged strain-relief connector dampens resonance that can adversely affect sound quality. An extension ring on the jack accommodates most smartphone cases, and a padded carry pouch protects the headphones when they’re not over your ears. JBL engineers take professional audio technology personally. With J88a headphones, you can too.
Key Features
Bold JBL design and premium finishing
From the brushed stainless-steel headband and ear-cup accents
to the matte black or white housings, and from the embossed,
metallic JBL logos to the cable that matches the ear pads, these
headphones are designed to be as pleasing to the eyes as they
are to the ears.
Premium, high-performance JBL drivers
JBL drivers deliver precise, powerful sound for an exceptional
listening experience. Bass is pure, deep and accurately produced
– the calling card of legendary JBL sound. As a result, J88a
headphones outperform competing products that cost
much more.
Rotating, 180-degree DJ pivot mechanism
Sometimes you need to be aware of more than just your music.
J88a ear cups 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 rotate under the
headband for easy storage and transport.
Soft leather ear cushions
Our ear cushions feature a soft leather that provides long-
wearing comfort. It also helps maintain an acoustic seal on the
ear, which improves the headphones’ passive noise reduction.
And that means a purer listening experience.
Closed-back design
J88a headphones feature a closed-back design that blocks ambient
noise and minimizes leakage. So outside noise stays outside, and
your listening experience remains yours and yours alone.
Universal one-button remote with built-in microphone
Made specifically for use with Smartphones, the in-line remote
allows you to play and to pause music and to answer and to end
calls. A built-in microphone lets you play and pause music, and to
answer or end calls. The one-button remote/mic is compatible
with most smartphones.
Single-sided, detachable cable
Tangled cables are a constant source of frustration. But not with
the J88a. The tangle-resistant, flat elastomer cable connects
to just one of the ear cups, which further minimizes tangling. The
cable detaches from the ear cup for added flexibility
Cable-locking mechanism
A unique twist-lock mechanism keeps the detachable cable
secure when it’s connected. 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 the cable
is critical for both durability and sound quality. Our rugged
strain-relief connector dampens vibration for enhanced acoustic
performance.
Gold-plated jack with extension ring
The J88a’s gold-plated jack incorporates an extension ring that
works with most custom smartphone covers and cases. So you
don’t have to slip off your protective case to connect your
headphones.
Padded carry pouch
JBL sound is always worth protecting. An included padded carry
pouch keeps your headphones safe from bumps and bruises
