The JBL Reference 420 and 610 Headphones:Perfect for Travel Buffs

September 4, 2007 --The JBL Reference headphone line has been available since last year’s IFA; two new models, the JBL Reference 420 and the JBL Reference 610, are now available. These new arrivals have the same features as their predecessors: first-class comfort, and high-quality audio reproduction for the ultimate in music-listening pleasure.

The JBL Reference 420 headphones are perfect for traveling. They offer the usual crisp JBL sound, as well as plenty of bass. And although they weigh only 170g, they’re tough enough to withstand the hazards (vibrations, getting dropped) that come with traveling.

The JBL Reference 610 headphones have been created for wireless-technology convenience. Capable of receiving audio signals via Bluetooth®, they offer maximum freedom of movement. And if you’re using them to listen to music on your iPod, the iPod can stay in your pocket – volume, track selection, play and pause are set by means of an integrated controller located directly on the headphones. The dongle necessary for iPod operation is also supplied. Of course, the JBL Reference 610 can also be connected, via cable, to other multimedia devices, including MP3 and CD players.

Both sets of headphones feature ear pads and headbands made from genuine leather, which provides a high degree of comfort, even during long periods of use. Advanced transducers provide crystal-clear frequency response and distortion-free bass. And all the headphones in the JBL Reference line are compatible with iPod and MP3 players, desktop computers and laptops, and most other portable audio devices. They’re also equipped (depending on the model) with a wide range of accessories, including carry cases, jack adapters, airline adapters, batteries and chargers.
