Once you get that prompt you will be able to find your headphones on the device’s Bluetooth menu. Once you are connected your headphones will let you know and you will be good to go.
Ease of Use

Power Source
The JBL Everest Elite 100 Bluetooth headphones are powered by a rechargeable battery. Customers have many complaints on the life of the battery. JBL does not have any mention about what the battery life of these is supposed to be, but according to customers, they do not hold a charge very well. After some time, the battery will last a shorter and shorter amount of time, and then some customers stated that they stopped holding a charge altogether.;The headphones charge via micro-USB cable, which is included in the package. If you find yourself needing a spare charging cord you can use any micro-USB cord to charge these. Something to note, however, is that you can wear these headphones and listen to music while they are plugged in. So, if you have to charge them and do not mind being plugged in, that is something that you can consider.
Sound Quality
There are mixed reviews regarding the sound quality of the JBL Everest Elite 100 Bluetooth headphones. The quality of the actual sound that emanates from the speakers of the headphones is not terrible when played at safe listening volumes. If the volume is turned up too high there is some distortion to the music, but that is too be expected in most headphones if you are listening at max level.;The biggest problem customers seem to have with the sound quality of these headphones actually comes from the noise canceling technology. Comments and reviews have stated that it seems like there is almost no noise canceling which was very disappointing to them, others stated that they would have liked to have seen the headphones cancel more of their background noise than they did.
Durability
Some customers have problems with the durability of the JBL Everest Elite 100 Bluetooth headphones. The battery life is poor, according to many reviews, and after only a few months of use, the headphones just stopped charging all together. Customers are very disappointed in the fact that they had to replace these so quickly.;The rest of the headphones, however, do hold up pretty well. The headphones themselves are made to not fall apart. There have been no reports on the neckband or the wires themselves breaking or falling apart. The fact that they are wireless also is favorable because you will not have to worry about the headphone jack breaking or becoming loose and unusable.
Price
The price of the JBL Everest Elite 100 Bluetooth headphones is something of a problem for customers if they are paying full price for them. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of these headphones is $199.95, which customers feel is too high for the poor experience they had with the headphones. That being said, you can find these headphones for much cheaper on sale on other sites. Customers have had fewer complaints about the money they paid for the headphones if they were able to get them for much cheaper than the MSRP.
Bottom Line
Customers have had many complaints about the battery life of these headphones, stating that they do not last very long and after a few months they just stop holding a charge altogether. The headphones can be reasonably priced if you find them for a cheaper price online, and if that is the case customers do not seem to have too much of a problem with how long they last. The headphones themselves are not that bad. They have a fairly good sound quality and they come with noise-canceling technology. Since these are the elite version of the headphones, they come with access to the JBL Headphone App which allows you to adjust the intensity of the noise canceling features, as well as play with the EQ settings to find the sound that best fits you. These are a pair of plain and simple headphones that can be used for just about any activity.
