What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the powerful, crisp sound with deep bass and clear highs, plus excellent battery life lasting hours per charge with fast 10-minute quick charging. However, a substantial portion report significant frustrations: earbuds frequently fall out and won't stay secure during activity, audio cuts out unexpectedly, touch controls fail to respond, and some earbuds stop charging after weeks of use. The open-top charging case design feels insecure. While sound quality remains a standout strength, reliability and fit issues are dealbreakers for many, creating a divided customer base.

Sound not even close to what expected. Not sure if I'm supposed to do something to them but if so, there's no instructions how. I'll just give these to someone.

Earbuds should not be annoying to use

I just bought them and the left side won’t charge and dies way quicker than the right, it’s a headache to use and I’ve tried everything to fix it I’m annoyed.

Worst design every.

Genuinely the worst design you could ever think of. I’m surprised I haven’t lost one of these by now. The amount of frustration and stress the open case has caused me to look for these earbuds in my car, parking lot, etc is enough for me to hope whoever designed these never hears again.

Awesome headphones for the price, bad case flaw

I bought these headphones for the shape that goes into my ear as well as the price. I didn't snap that the case didn't have a lid though, so I can't really travel with these in my pocket without them getting messed up or dirty. They ear buds sound great, but I can't get past the awful case with no lid. That's a very weird design that I've never seen before. I'll probably use them as an extra pair and keep him in my backpack and just buy another pair of JBL earbuds for my main pair. This is my fi...

Sounds Great.......

My only drawback is that the buds dont have as long of a battery life as I would like, and after a couple hours of use my ears are a little sore

Stopped being able to use them for calls

My friend got these for my birthday 5 months ago and about a month ago they stopped working for phone calls. They only work for music (low quality) and I have been trying to figure this out for the past month. I reset them, removed them from my phone and reconnected them, downloaded the app and the app can’t seem to find them so I can’t even get help through that… this is beyond frustrating. But I guess you get what you pay for smh

Opinión sincera y con el fin de ayudar.

Agreguen una luz led cuando conectes el auricular a la caja pero que quede permanente. Si pudieran difuminar esa luz led en dos mitad y mitad para cada auricular. Eso serviría en primer lugar para saber cual de las dos baterías está más descargada y si solo se conecta un auricular que la luz led sea general de todo el led porque en teoría solo hay un auricular. Me fascinó la opción de poderlos personalizar con foto y texto y diseño sobre expuesto. Se amplían esas opciones en la barra de edici...
