JBL Tune Flex - True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds (White), Small

HardThese buds are light weight and the range is pretty decent being that I walk away from the phone in the living room to go to the mailbox, or the bedroom. The battery for the case lasts about 3 days compared to the battery in the buds lasting only about 8 hours. The sound is pretty decent. It's what I expect from JBL. The set is fairly sturdy, considering it's been dropped about 3 or 4 times since I bought them. That was before I got a case protector to hold them. They were on sale at a great price. It's hard to get the buds out the case if you don't have fingernails. The magnet the holds them in place sometimes doesn't want to let them go. The set up was easy and effortless and there's a JBL app that helps with equalizer and noise canceling and other features of these buds in your app store.

Update after 5 months of use:A quick update of the ear buds. The charging of the ear buds is fast. Going from "low battery" to full takes a short amount of time. I think a minute or two. Never timed it.A couple of issues:* Taking calls on it is hit or miss. Often the headphones will get out of sync and it will do a weird binaural thing where it will alternate between each ear getting cut out for a split second back and forth for about two seconds. This can happen multiple times in a minute.* Over a bit of time of playback, the earphones will cut out for about 2-3 seconds. I'm not sure why. Maybe some sort of sync issue? More annoying when listening to an audio book than music.Original Review:This review is for: JBL Tune Flex - True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds (White), SmallOverall, I like them. Video mode has no audio lag. They sound good with boosted base and sealed tips.I really wish there was a way to turn on the headphones without the case.Highs:* When using to go to sleep, the pillow won't accidently activate the touch controls (very nice).* Touch controls are responsive and are easy to activate. I haven't had them accidently double activate so far.* Video mode has no audio/video lag. Must be enabled in the app. By default it is set to Music mode.* Good sound. They sound very good when using the bass EQ, music mode, and the sealed tips.* Fit is good. Three sizes for sealed tips.* Can setup each touch control to a different command set.* Important! : If you want volume control, it must be setup in the app.* Has a "find earphones" function (only when still turned on). Emits a tone and is easy to hear.* Has an optional auto standby which also optionally deactivates ANC. For example: With some other earphones, ANC will stay on even with auto standby enabled. If using them to sleep to, ANC being on all the time will cause the battery to be low by morning.* Good Bluetooth range.Lows:* Hard to get out of the case. This seems to be common with all case based small headphones. There isn't a good way to grip them and they won't shake out.* When getting out of the case, it's easy to activate the touch controls over and over. (Skip, play, pause, volume up.)* No way to turn on the earphones without the case. Not even with the app. Cannot force standby either.* This means that if you forget the case, you can't put them in your pocket because the touch controls fire randomly. The app can turn off the earphones.* Couldn't tell a difference between ANC on or off. With or without the sealed tips. But I was not really surprised for small in ear headphones.Other:To put on or take off the tips, use a credit card or spudger to separate the white tips from the body. The sealed tips are easy to add and remove.

The build and sound quality is excellent! The battery life is pretty good too, I listen to music on and off at work every day and I have never had the earbuds die on me like my old set. I do recharge every night though out of habit. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is because despite the different fittings it comes with, none will fit my ear and stay in. I have to adjust it ever 20 minutes or so. But if this isn't an issue for you, some of the best quality earbuds out there for this price.

These work very well. I like them better than my Apple ones. They’re comfortable. And I hear clearly. They are great value for the money. And there’s virtually zero delay the minute you put one in your ear it connects to your phone.

These will get the job done, but I'm not a big fan of the ANC. It CAN work well, but it CAN be problematic. Im a landscaper, and these CAN drown out the sound of my gear, BUT any slight change in pitch, proximity, etc, sends it reeling, and trying new countermeasures. This results in wildly changing levels, and sound distortions. It can get really confused at times, too, and pop rapidly trying to adapt it's sound profiles, and it feels like my ears are popping. The bass response is decent, but not great. I listen to a lot of bass heavy music, and these definitely wouldn't make my top 10 list of earbuds. The minds and highs are pretty clear and sound good, but it doesn't even try some of the deeper frequency bass. There's definitely NOT a bass driver in here. (I don't know if it advertises that it does or not, but I've heard better bass from gas station earbuds, so.... Take that as you will)They have great battery life, and they pair very easily. They are fairly comfortable, especially with different earbud covers to tailor them to your ear (and you NEED a good seal for the noise canceling to be useful at all) included in the package.The range is respectable (it's still Bluetooth, so it's not gonna let you go far from the source) but range is not super important if you've got your phone on you.They're pretty decent earbuds, but I probably wouldn't order them again. I only ordered these because Sony stopped making the earbuds I used to love.
