Solid Headphone Listening Experience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Solid Headphone Listening Experience for those looking for headphones that provide quality sound for an inner ear listening device this is the one for you. Different sound modes and mixing through the JBL app. Only drawbacks are I wish these headphones had a louder sound quality but for the price paid you still get the audio experience from JBL that you expect.

Superb Sound, Marginal Noise Cancelling

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As expected with JBL audio products, the sound quality of these Live Flex earbuds is superb — full, clear and well balanced with crisp highs, natural mids and proportional bass at all volume levels. There's no artificial “hyper” bass like some brands use to fake a big sound at the expense of true sound quality. Even better, you can use the companion JBL Headphones app to create a custom EQ profile that totally suits your listening preference. I was especially impressed by the “Personi-Fi” hearing profile test conducted by the app on setup. It really did a great job of analyzing the weak points in my hearing profile and applying automatic adjustments to compensate. In my case, some of the higher frequencies were re-shaped and emphasized in a way that really enhances the audio quality in the frequency ranges where I have some hearing loss, making the whole listening experience quite improved and personalized. These earbuds are quite comfortable and stay in well. I have been able to wear them for many hours at a time with little to no ear fatigue (though I did find that wearing them the entire workday did become a bit much). The touch controls are easy to navigate once you get the hang of the single-tap, multi-tap, and long-tap gestures, and the touch controls can be further customized with the app to suit your preferences. I find the flat stem design also creates a larger touch surface that is easier to trigger than similar earbuds with a rounded stem. This makes the touch controls less fickle and more pleasant to use. Phone call audio quality is excellent, and people I call tell me that the outgoing audio is clear and natural sounding. I have other earbuds where the microphone quality seems a bit compromised and the sound quality is a bit "off”. But these Live Flex earbuds appear to have really risen to the next level with outstanding microphone quality. On the downside, the adaptive noise cancelling (ANC) experience with these earbuds leaves much to be desired. The ANC technology is great, but the semi-open design means there is no silicon tip to insert into the ear canal and create a sound isolation seal. This semi-open design has the advantage to some people of greater comfort and ambient awareness, but this also inherently means there is also no sound isolation barrier created by the earbuds, and adding noise cancellation to earbuds of this semi-open type really provides very little benefit to the listening experience. I find that the ANC on these earbuds might take some of the edge off the ambient noise by maybe 15-20% (mostly quiet fans and other white noise sources), but I am still able to directly hear most of the ambient noise leaking past the earbuds and directly into my ear. If you prefer the fit and feel of this type of semi-open earbud design you will gain a marginal audio quality benefit from the ANC, but you should not expect to have anything near the isolation experience that in-the-ear earbuds with noise cancellation can achieve. One other minor gripe is I'm really not a fan of the JBL trend towards gloss finishes and chrome accents. I like my electronics and accessories understated and don't want them to bling and sparkle. Simple matte color schemes with understated designs are more my style. As stated, sound quality is where these earbuds shine, and overall I'm really enjoying the superb quality listening experience they provide. Understanding the semi-open design is intended to provide some ambient awareness, I will be constrained to using them in quieter environments or to environments where some ambient awareness is desired. However, with these constraints, I could honestly just do without the ANC feature and be perfectly content with the remaining features of these excellent earbuds at a lower price point.

JBL live flex

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are great ! They have that premium JBL bass you expect with crisp clear audio ! That being said I work outdoor doing landscaping and these ain't too great for that ! The noise cancellation was good for certain things but not with a blower on ! So as far as not very noisy environments or studying or anything like that these are my go too !

Sleek, Stylish, and Comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sleek and comfortable to wear. No issues with them falling out while running and you can barely tell there in your ears. Battery life on the ear pods have been great and the case seems to hold a charge beyond the 32 hours.

Great sound!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These earbuds have great sound. There are a lot of cool features you can control by touching it in different ways. This is very cool, but it'll take some time to remember them all. I was excited about using these myself, but there is no option to change the size and they were too big for me. My husband loves them, though. You download an app to control the settings. It has a lot of options but it's yet another JBL app. I'm not sure why there needs to be a separate app for each JBL product. These are a great option for adults if they fit.

Great Ear Buds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have several pairs of ear buds, and the sound quality really stands out. Great bass, it makes it sound so much more natural. I haven't had much of a chance to wear them outside yet. I was watching videos, and didn't want to disturb my wife, watching tv. The noise canceling works well. Our flight next month will be the true test of that feature.

Great Balance of Performance, Comfort and Style

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Live Flex Bluetooth Headphones strike an impressive balance between performance, comfort, and style, making them a compelling option in the crowded bluetooth headphone market. Design and Comfort: The lightweight design, coupled with good fitting ear pieces, ensures extended listening sessions without discomfort. Sound Quality: JBL's signature sound shines through in these headphones. The bass is punchy without overpowering the mids and highs, offering a balanced listening experience suitable for a variety of genres. No matter what music you listen to the Live Flex headphones deliver a versatile sound profile. The inclusion of adaptive noise cancellation is a major plus, effectively reducing ambient noise in busy environments. Battery Life: With up to 30 hours of playback time, the battery life is more than sufficient for most users. USB C charging port is nice to have. Since everyone is heading in that direction. Connectivity: Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, with minimal latency and a stable connection. Multipoint pairing allows you to connect to multiple devices simultaneously, making it convenient for users who frequently switch between a laptop and smartphone. The headphones also support voice assistants like Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri, adding hands-free functionality to the mix. Cool Features: The Smart Ambient mode is particularly useful for staying aware of your surroundings while listening to music or taking calls. JBL's companion app provides customizable EQ settings, letting users fine-tune the sound to their preference. The touch controls are intuitive and responsive, though they might take a little getting used to for new users. The JBL Live Flex headphones are an excellent choice for those seeking quality sound, comfort, and advanced features without breaking the bank. With a few thoughtful tweaks, they could rival top-tier models, but even as they stand, they offer outstanding value.

Great Sound, Stylish, Sleek.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The First thing I noticed was how small the case is. These will fit anywhere. Compared to AirPods. JBL wins once again. Nobody can compare to the sound. I am very happy with what JBL has to offer in their lineup and this is another winner.

Nice sound quality, just some fit issues for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I really enjoy the JBL Live Flex. It offers nice sound quality, adaptive noise cancelling, and a long battery life. My main concern with the product is like many ear buds, they just don't fit snuggly into my ear where I don't feel like I can confidently walk around with them without fear they'll fall out. The features were easy to learn and I was able to open up the product and start using it rather seamlessly.

Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These ear buds are pretty good. Decent length of charge. Good sound overall. Pretty durable as well. Doesn't seem like they would break that easily and will last along time. They also stay in my ear pretty well.
