JBL T450BT - ranked #274 of 308 Over-Ear Headphones · Editor's rating 2.5/5

#274 JBL T450BT Discontinued eBay

Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x 32mm dynamic with an easy 32 ohm load.

Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Sub-bass is 5.4 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. Treble sits about 6.9 dB low, so it sounds a little dark. A Harman score of 47 places it in the lower part of the over-ear rankings.
