Great sound in the worst package
I was excited about this pair but the left earbud quit working after two weeks, at the beginning I heard an annoying plastic noise moving every time i tried to adjust the earbud in my ear canal, and it ended exploding and all i could hear is the noise of that piece of plastic moving inside the left ear piece trying to reproduce music yes its own music, stay away from this as they are a quality fiasco and complete waste of time and money.
P.S: the retailer told me i have only 48 hours warranty....

A nice inexpensive headphone set
Bought this set about six months ago to substitute the garbage headphones that came with my cell phone. Bass sounds are fat and big, although I'd like less peaky highs. All in all, it sounds perfectly nice for the price and allows you to have a full immersion with good isolation from external noise. I'd recommend this set for everyone who's in a budget and cares enough about the listener experience. This set is also very durable - so far, it has endured several different scenarios and I see no signs of wear,

Good sound, bad quality
I bought these headphones a half year ago, and everything worked fine. But the left earpiece stopped working 2 weeks ago. So I bought new ones, and the right earpiece didn't work at all!
Never going to buy JBL's anymore.

Nice earbuds, but falling out of ear all the time.
This earbuds are really nice! But they are falling out of my ear like every 2 minutes, but.. In the box there are some smaller "Things" To cover it with.. So thats a good solution!

Amazing build quality
I very enjoy these headphones, for build quality and total sound. But bass feels less powerful than my previous headphones.

Which ones are better? T-290s or T-280As? I like bass, and listen to metal, rap and hardbass, which ones would you recommend for me? I don't really care which ones are louder as I listen to my headphones at ~50%vol most of the time
The T-290 would best in terms of your music preferences.but if you want more detailed sound but lower bass, the T-280A is not bad as well.

which one is better t290 or t205?
T290 would be best if you're using bluetooth. T205 would be good if you want to listen on wired connection.

Since this one priced similarly with the T280A, what is the difference and which one is better?
Thanks for your interest. The JBL T280A is the better one between the two with its High Performance 9mm Drivers. It's more louder compared to the JBL T290.
