Bang for the buck
$20 size comparison of the carrying case. It’s actually quite smaller than I anticipated. So it’s in your pocket easily. However there is no cover, or protection for the ear buds themselves. They are held in magnetically; in which I’ve dropped em already from about 3’ and they don’t pop out at all. To my surprise the case is very durable too.They’ve powered thru numerous sweat sessions already and no issues of falling, audio, comfort of wear. Even battery life was still plenty.A CON: The menu ‘buttons’ as controls of the ear pieces are a little difficult to work with but for the low price and ease of having an extra set on hand; I can disregard that.

The uv light and drill both do not work at all. Will not even even turn on. Get a different kit, this one is a dud –
Minor alAdjustments Stopped a Return
I am in headphones for 20-50 hours a week. I work in IT remotely and am in online meetings daily. I also DJ and love my Live over the ear headphones. Just like I loved my ear buds before I lost them and ordered these. I get they are moderately priced but JBL, come on! The case they come in garbage. Even after equalizing the sound quality is mid AF. no multiple pont connection. The ambient noise is super loud and that makes it scarier than it needs to for 60$ headphones 0/10 would recommend***UPDATE*** An audio engineer reviewed another JBL pair of earbuds and left a picture of the way he equalized them- GAME CHANGER! I had only tried the presets in the app and had not made adjustments to equalize further. With some minor adjustments these earbuds made major improvements. What was once hallow high mids are now rounded and rich. The high hats and snare on drum heavy tracks don’t screetch and gnaw at my eardrums any longer. The bass doesn’t rattle, it’s clear and crisp. The changes even improved the noise cancellation. They are not gonna knock your socks off- but at this pricepoint I am more than content with my purchase. My only complaint is that they are not multi-conection, I wish I was able to toggle between my computer and phone during working hours. For the price point however, these are some serious contender ear buds to the 100 dollar pair I have from JBL. If you are a runner, work out, or are looking for ear buds that you will forget you have on they are so comfortable, these are for you. I was set to return them but am going to keep them now that they are equalized. The screenshot is where I ended up based off the audio engineer’s review, but he mentioned do what sounds right to you. He used the the BASS preset in the app as a starting point and I did too.

Solid ear buds
I use these underground operating heavy equipment in a hard rock mine.Love these things to death,They cancel out almost aĺl of the noise when I’m in cabin and a lot of it when I’m outside . They’re loud .The best features are I can use either ear bud solo and let the other charge in the case and have the same controls to swap through my Playlist as they just flip flop.I often do this as they don’t last 12 hours as the shifts do but they’ve roughly lasted around 10 which is great.The only real downside I have is that the case doesn’t come sealable and working underground it can be an issue so I just put the case in my pants pocket . But that isn’t a negative it’s more of a personal issue . The reason it’s an issue is sometimes dust and obviously lint gets into the case and on the charging contacts and you have to pick them clean. Other than that these are solid ear buds.10/10 great bang for the price tag on them.I use skull candies as a backup and even though they last a little bit longer and have a sealable case the simple tap touch controls make me use these first

A pesar de no contar con cancelación de ruido son muy cómodos y se escuchan claros y con muy buenos bajos, los sonidos no se enciman y tienen buena batería

El color es muy bonito, tal cual se ve en la foto, son muy cómodos, se escucha muy bien, para llamadas, música, videos, no permite que se escuche el ruido del exterior, precio accesible, pero muy buena calidad

Had them on discount for 50$, were really worth the price. Good sound quality, stable bluetooth connection, nice companion Android app to customize the functions and sound.Had to replace the first set I received though: one of the earbuds was defective and had a persistent white noise. I suppose the discount was related to an attempt to resell refurbished earbuds (the battery was already charged for the first defective set when it wasn’t for the working one).I wasn’t expected the case to have no cover, hadn’t realized when looking at the product. Hoping it won’t catch too much dust in my pocket. The case is quite bulky too compared to my previous ones.
