Great product held back by comfort issues

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was intrigued by the Live Flex because it's rare to see ear buds with no silicone tip. I don't think I have ever seen them with active noise cancelling (ANC) before. The promise of crystal clear phone calls was a bonus because this is typically where true wireless (TW) buds have failed me. This review will focus on those differentiators which make the Live Flex standout in a crowded category. First the ANC. It is important to remember without silicone tips you do not have good sound isolation. No amount of ANC will change that. If you want to be totally immune to your surroundings these are not for you. However, the ANC works surprisingly well. I wore them for several full days of working from home. They did not have a huge impact there because the majority of the noise is from my children's mouths. Children talking has never been a strong point for ANC. I also wore them in a busy commuter train to NYC. Here the ANC was much more impactful. I stopped using my other TW buds when I commute because I had to listen at such high volumes on the train. These solve for that beautifully. I imagine they would be ok on a plane, but I'll still always prefer an over the ear option in the air. the calls were noticeably clearer than any other TW buds I have ever used. I conducted about 20 hours of zoom and Google meet meetings with no complaints. A huge win for travel. Sound is great. Vocals come through clear. The bass is impressively present. Even booming during heavier tracks. I listen to a wide range of music from punk rock to hardstyle and these didn't feel like wearing an audio sacrifice. That is a common problem with any type of in ear option and I felt perfectly content with these. Comfort is where I took away a star. I was super excited for the design, but they started to feel uncomfortable where the top of the bud meets the inside of my (ear bowl?). After about 75-90 minutes the discomfort predictably sets in. It's minor discomfort, but rules out the possibility of these being the only headphones I travel with.

Perfect sound. Perfect fit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Live Flex ear buds are fantastic! The sound is perfect! It is that crystal clear sound you expect from JBL. They feel great in my ears. If you are like me, you hate losing your charge. These stayed charged for days. I absolutely love them!

JBL Live Flex

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Four features are critical to me when I buy earbuds. Fit, sound quality, call performance and noise cancelling. Battery life, quality of the case, style and durability are also important, but JBL always delivers in those categories. Fit: They fit great. Very comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time without discomfort. Now , I will say they are not a sealed fit like some of the other buds on the market, but the sound quality doesn't seem to suffer. Very comfortable Sound quality: As with all JBL products, the sound quality is reliably great. Crisp highs and deep bass. Style: Unlike some of the other brands that tend to be bulky and stick out of your ear, these buds are sleek and definitely stylish. The touch of shiny, gray chrome gives them a look of class. Durability: the case is very small and seems to be made well. I love the USB-C charging. And it fits easily in my pocket without being bulky. while I havent had the buds long enough to really test thwir durability, i have no doubt they will last. JBL consistently delivers!

A Game-Changer for Workouts and Everyday Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Live Flex headphones are truly impressive. Right from the start, they offer a perfect fit without stretching or discomfort around my ears. They stay securely in place even during intense activities like running on the treadmill or high-intensity workouts, which is a huge plus. One of the standout features is the wireless charging, which is incredibly convenient, especially when traveling. The battery life is outstanding—offering up to 8 hours of playback on a single charge, and with the charging case, you get an additional 32 hours if it's fully charged. That's plenty of power to get through a long day, or even several, without worrying about recharging. For those of us who work up a sweat or work in dusty environments, the water and dust resistance is a lifesaver. Whether I'm hitting the gym or spending time on the farm, I can rely on these headphones to withstand my active lifestyle. The Adaptive Noise Cancelling technology is another highlight. The headphones use built-in microphones to automatically adjust the noise-canceling level based on your surroundings, which is a game-changer. I've used large over-ear noise-canceling headphones for tasks like mowing the lawn or blowing leaves, but now I can use the Live Flex for the same tasks—much more portable and just as effective. Finally, the Spatial Sound feature adds an immersive quality to your music, making you feel like you're at a concert or in a theater. It's a fantastic listening experience. All of these settings, from sound preferences to noise cancellation, are easily adjustable through the intuitive JBL Headphone app, which makes personalizing your experience straightforward. Overall, the JBL Live Flex headphones combine comfort, durability, and cutting-edge technology to fit seamlessly into my everyday life. Whether I'm working out, traveling, or just enjoying music, they've quickly become an essential part of my routine.

Sound quality is impeccable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Live Flex have become my daily wear headphones. I've always been a fan of JBL and I expect the sound quality to be exceptional, but the Live Flex surprised me. The sound quality of these headphones is impeccable. They are comfortable and the battery lasts as long as any of my other headphones. I wear them everyday while hiking with my dogs and I have never had any issues with them staying in my ears. They have become my daily wear headphones because the sound quality is so ridiculously good. I listen to a variety of music genres and they all sound phenomenal. I would recommend these headphones to anyone.

Outstanding Sound Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Flex Live earbuds have exception sound quality. Whether you listen to country, Rap, R&B, Metal, etc...there is plenty of bass and treble. You can always adjust the bass or treble through the JBL Equalizer. The sound quality is truly the best thing about these earbuds. The second best thing is the adaptive noise cancellation. A tap on the left earbud drowns out all external noise allowing you to hear the crisp clean music. The earbuds a light weight and easy to put in the ear canal. Here is where there is an issue for me... the Live Flex earbuds don't fit well in my ears, in fact, I gave these to my wife because they fit perfectly in her ears, allowing her to take full advantage of all the features for extended durations at the gym. While trying these on, I was able to test receiving calls and the voice is very clear. The other feature I like is how small the case is. For its small palm size, it holds about 40 hours of play time, very impressive. We have gone days without charging the case. For these to be perfect, I would need a slightly bigger size to stay in my ear while working out, cycling, or on the elliptical.

Strong Flex with JBL Live Flex !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are absolutely amazing! Great sound and the deepest base ive ever heard with in the ear headphones. Great Bluetooth range. Phone calls are crystal clear no feedback or cutting i and out. The noise canceling feature is pretty amazing as well.

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.

Lightweight & Comfort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These earbuds are LIGHT! I have been using these headphones for a few weeks and I am always surprised by how light they are. These sit nicely in the cup of my ear without being too intrusive to my ear canal. I have been wearing these predominately when working out at the gym. The only time that I they have come out of my ear was when removing my sweatshirt and knocking them out. I have done various cardio machines and weight training without issue. I have not had issues with these falling out when bench pressing, which is surprising given how they sit in my ears. The sound is good, but I have had to set the volume just a little louder than my previous headphones. The pairing as with all of the JBL products that I had is a breeze and I enjoy having the lights at the front of the clamshell case when charging, allowing me to see the progress. The only issue that I have had was experiencing some feedback while on a call, but I take calls so infrequently that it could have been user error.
