"Prepare to Rock"
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Live Flex / Perfect Fit won't disappoint! Great sounding earbuds, with a super comfortable fit. These will definitely be my new "go to" buds. The fit is very comfortable and they stay in place quite well. Easy to pair with phone and take calls pretty seamlessly. The total charge time is off the chart, 8 hours in the buds plus another 32 hours charge in the case! I downloaded the app that comes with them, that allows you to customize the buds to your preferences. You can adjust the equalizer setting on the earbuds, but you have to exit the song, adjust, then go back to the music to see if they are set where you would like -- would be better if you could adjust while you were actually listening to the song, but still a great feature to have. I also like the fact that the case shows you with light bars how much charge is left in the case from 1 bar to 3 bars. Overall a very nice sounding comfortable bud at this price range.
Esthetic = beautiful; Function = casual listening
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Design and Build The charging case is definitely a standout. The design is clean and functional, and the layout feels fresh compared to most earbuds on the market. It fits nicely into your hand, not too big not too small, and the ear buds are more easily removed since they lay flat rather than mostly inside the case. The earbuds themselves look good too—shoutout to the silver beveled edge, which adds a touch of elegance. They look very sharp. Unfortunately, the design has a practical drawback: without flexible ear tips, they just don't stay put, especially if you're moving around a lot or have piercings that get in the way. I have a tragus piercing on my right ear and that ear bud gets loose much easier than the left and has fallen out a few time (twice into the sink while I was washing dishes, thankfully with the water resistance rating, nothing has gotten water damage). Noise Cancelling This feature is… well, let's just say it exists, and you can turn it on, but I didn't notice much of a difference with noise cancelling on or off. Without the flexible ear tips, there isn't a tight seal in your ear canal - they do not have a way to effectively block out external sounds by isolating your ear from ambient noise. Sound Quality The sound quality is decent. The soundstage and frequency range are good enough for casual listening, but nothing really stands out. Nothing really to be impressed by, but for most day-to-day uses, they get the job done. Overall Performance Here's the thing: these earbuds feel more like a budget option. They're fine for casual listening, but there's no real “wow” factor besides the slightly different design of the case and the silver detail on the buds themselves.
Thanks for your feedback. We'll make sure to pass this along to our development team.
Awesome Ear Buds!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These buds sound AMAZING. Crystal clear audio on phone calls, which I use these for 99% of the time. Easy to set up and very comfortable in ears. These are really great ear buds, and I highly recommend these!

Too big
Does not has customizable size ear pieces. Too big for my ear
Thanks for your feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve. For our JBL Live Flex, to achieve the best seal and secure fit, you must create a tight seal within your ear canal. To do this, angle the ear tip slightly downward to make it easier to insert into your ear canal, gently twist the earbud to fit it securely into the shape of your ear, and continue twisting the earbud into your ear canal. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.

Useless product
Very quiet. Far too quiet. Cannot hear music over the lawn mower. Useless. Waste of money completely
Thank you for your feedback. We're here to help with your JBL Live Flex. First, to get the best audio response, create a tight seal in your ear by positioning the ear tip slightly downward and gently twisting it to fit securely into the shape of your ear. Second, try cleaning the ear tips with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol. Next, check the balance control on your device's 'Accessibility' settings, the EQ settings, and in the JBL Headphones App. Lastly, try pairing your unit with another device to determine if the issue is with the original device. If you need more help, please contact us.
Painful fit
The fit was painful so much so that I returned them immediately. They would not stay in as well. Didn't have them long enough to rate their performance.
DO NOT BUY
These suck, they don't fit in the ears correctly and there is no way to change the tips. Fall out way too easy and if your outside doing stuff good luck finding them.
Great daily driver. JBL signature sound.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Opening the JBL live flex, you'll notice everything I neatly an smartly packaged. JBL has always been great with choosing great materials for packing of their products. The case feels good in hand. Good weight and a sense of quality. It's not gonna fall apart or snap apart. It feels of quality. Included is a orange usbA to usb C for charging. I use the wireless charging capabilities for convenience and am happy that was included. Battery life I admirable an always gets me through a extended gym session. Touch controls are handy and customizable inside the jbl headphone app. The app is easy to navigate, everything is laid out clearly and easy to understand and manipulate. Sound isolation with this type of headphone can be tricky depending on ear size an fit of headphone inside ear. These sit inside ears but not inside ear canal. For what they are, they seal admirably and provide more than expected noise cancellation. Ambient aware works well when when you need to hear around you or have a conversation. Sound is punchy and vibrant. If you like the Jbl signature sound, you will like these. I would place these headphones in a casual listening situation. Easy in, easy out. Taking them out walking, work well. Light gym duty works well. But they do dislodge easy when bouncing around. You will find yourself pushing an re-positioning them if you jog or jostle around. They are very comfortable to wear however and are a joy to listen to. I listen to EDM and bouncier music an these headphones suit that style well. They paired easily out of the box and connect fast to my google pixel 7. Set up correctly an they also work with hands free assistant which is very nice. These are very nice for the price and have loved using them in my day to day, whether it's gym use or wandering around the store in my own bubble.
Surprise is small package
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These arrived Chrismas Eve and were used throughout the holidays everywhere. Outstanding JBL sound, connectivity, and quality! Adding the Alexa feature is definitely a game changer and fits right in with all the other Alexa appliances in my household! Battery usage is very good too! The only negative thing I can say about these is regarding the way they fit in my ear.......they are a little on the larger side,other than that, these are awesome!
Great quality, but falls short on ANC.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am thoroughly impressed with their performance. The sound quality is exceptional, delivering crisp highs and deep bass that enhance my listening experience whether I'm at the gym, commuting, or just relaxing at home. The adaptive noise-canceling feature works ok. I think the design of these earbuds and/or my ear canal hinder it from becoming true adaptive noise-canceling. Although I lean more on the side of design. As I've used similar JBL earbuds with this convex design that simply does not seal well. With that being said, they are incredibly comfortable even for extended wear. They feel secure, and I don't have to worry about them falling out during intense workouts or while walking around. Battery life is another highlight. With up to 8 hours of playtime on a single charge (ANC off) and a total of 40 hours with the charging case, I rarely find myself needing to recharge. The quick charge feature is also a lifesaver when I'm in a hurry. Another great addition is the built-in voice assistant support. Although I'm not an active user of it, I still appreciate that it's there at a tap of the bud to make quick text, make calls, etc. Overall, the JBL Live Flex earbuds offer excellent sound, comfort, and battery life. They are fantastic at that. But if you're looking for something that's going to block off all the distractions at the gym, work, or anywhere else where you experience a lot of commotion and noise then these might not be the best fit. These earbuds offer a lot of fantastic tech and great sound quality, but its main selling point is the adaptive noise canceling. Which in my opinion falls short.
Thanks for sharing your feedback on our JBL Live Flex. We recommend customizing the Active Noise Cancelling of your JBL Live Flex using our JBL Headphones App. After connecting your unit to your phone, open the JBL Headphones App. Enable Noise Cancelling, then below it go to Customize ANC. You can either use the Adaptive ANC or select ANC level. If you need more help, please contact us.
