Unfortunately the right earpiece was not together in one piece and the was dangling from its wiring. I'm planning to send the item back for an exchange when I get back from vacation
The E10's sound great, when you can get them to fit. I just can't get mine to fit. No matter which size buds I use, they fall out just sitting and listening. Forget working out with them. But the sounds is great. I'm going to look for some different style / type of buds to see if I can get them to fit.
Left side stopped working after two months of minimal, stationary use at a computer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. I can see that you have already assisted by our Customer Service team. I'm glad that it has been taken care of.
I bought these headphones about 4 months ago. They were used almost daily for my work. Music and audiobooks sound great. The microphone is great for answering calls and the button next to it allows quick pausing for when I have to talk with customers.
Unfortunately, the build quality of these headphones is poor. Within a month, the right ear bud split, leaving part of it in my ear. I managed to tape it together for further use, but the left one soon did the same. It looks like the glue used to keep the buds together isn't applied liberally enough or is of poor quality.
I failed to keep my receipt and packaging, having had few issues with previous jbl products. I am regretting that decision now.
Overall, if the durability of these headphones had matched the price, I would have easily rated them 5 stars. However, because of the breakage early on, I recommend you invest your money elsewhere.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I recently purchased a set of these at a airport shop due to loosing my original apple headphones and wanted to listen to music on the plane without disturbing the other passengers. Sound quality is great, great bass, treble and great vocals. But my only complaints are, the remote only has stop/play and no volume control, they don't stay secure in the ear, even when staying still they fall out and the rubber piece at the end either stays in the ear or falls off. Wish they had earhooks and because of this I give them 3 stars.
