Technology has made the transition from being optional to essential for many consumers, which is likely why the [neckband design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-wireless-earbud) is being observed from many audio brands. The JBL Everest Elite 100 Earbuds, however, take things a step further with the all-new NXTGen technology. With it, users will not only experience [active noise cancellation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/active-noisecancelling-earphones), but also the ability to customize the audio output to match what they're listening to, whether it be a podcast or live concert recording. Available now for pre-order for $199, the JBL Everest Elite 100 Earbuds will start shipping mid-March 2016 in the US. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Audio-customization Technology:** Offering more ways to personalize audio experiences through customizable audio outputs. - **Neckband Headphones:** Utilizing the neckband aesthetic for comfortable usage of audio devices. - **Nxtgen Technology:** Enhancing audio experiences through new and innovative technologies like active noise cancellation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Headphone Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies who produce headphones with audio-customization technology like JBL Everest Elite 100 Earbuds have the opportunity to disrupt the audio industry through more innovative headphone solutions. - **Audio Streaming:** Audio streaming services can utilize audio-customization technology to increase the personalization of a user's experience and offer more customizable audio outputs to better match the listener's tastes. - **Entertainment Industry:** With audio customization technology like NXTGen, the entertainment industry can further innovate the personalization of the audio experience with immersive and interactive concert experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Haute Head-Tracking Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jabra-elite-10.md) - [Customizable Listening Experience Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-tune-flex.md) - [Immersive Spatial Audio Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jlab-epic-lab-edition.md) - [Customized Noise Control Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-zen-air.md) - [Accessible Audiophile Lifestyle Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-tune-and-vibe.md) - [Touchscreen Charging Case Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-live-earbuds.md) - [Lifestyle Open-Ear Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-openear.md) - [Precision Personalized Audio Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-aurvana-ace-3-earbuds.md) - [Style-Driven Clip-On Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jbl-soundgear-clips.md)
