JBL Tune Flex – True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds (Black), Small

Reliable, good sound, good fit, good battery life
These earbuds are the best replacement for my AirPods (RIP) out of the 2 others I’ve tried. The sound quality is really good, they’ve got a good bass response and good clarity so you hear the nuances in music. I’ve tried jazz, classical, post-punk, and R&B music on them and they sound good with those, but I can’t yet say how phone calls sound bc I haven’t tried that yet. Battery life is really long, and the case almost never needs recharging! These are more versatile than the other earbuds I tried. I got them because you can use them with or without the sealing suction cup ear tip thingies. I like them without, because this way (1)they stay in place and don’t work their way loose from my ears every few minutes just like other sealing tip earbuds used to do, they let air through so they don’t make my ears all sweaty and gross, and (2)if something happens that I need to hear, I can pause the music and hear outside of the earbuds without having to fumble with taking the earbuds out. I live in a violent area and I need to be able to hear my surroundings for my own safety. The app is pretty nice, it lets you choose the functions that happen when you tap them, or even disable tapping functions, which I do sometimes so I don’t accidentally skip songs etc. just because I accidentally touched them. It also lets you adjust the EQ with presets or custom settings. It’s the first time I’ve had earbuds with an app and at first I thought it’d be dinky to have an app for my earbuds, but i changed my mind to like it because it works well and you can just set it and forget it. As for reliability, these don’t seem to have the connection issues that people on Reddit reported that they had. Maybe these are an updated model? I’ve had them for about a week and they are behaving just like any normal Bluetooth device. Pretty hassle-free. I’m happy.

So far so good!
I got it on Prime Deal Day so it was almost half off the original price – and I’m SO glad I got it. Can’t say for sure yet if it’s worth full price. I lost my Apple AirPods and decided to look for an alternative since AirPods are simply too expensive. These came fully charged straight out of the box so I tested them right away. The sound quality will blow you away, literally. The bass is incredible considering these are earbuds and not over-ear headphones. There’s an app you can download that will allow you to customize the level of noise cancellation, an equalizer, etc, and also has a “Find my Buds” that will ping each earbud individually in case you lose them in a couch cushion or something. Ive seen complaints about the charging case, but I haven’t had them long enough to give my opinion. I’ve only had these for one day and I’m super impressed so far, so we’ll see.Will update this review if anything changes.UPDATE:I’ve been using these earbuds consistently at the gym for about 2 weeks. My ears (I think) are pretty normal sized. I feel like I constantly have to adjust and push them into my ear or they will fall out. With that said, I can’t use any of the added tips provided because then it won’t fit in my ear properly. The tapping of the buds are sensitive, so even when I go to just adjust them in my ear I sometimes accidentally pause the music, etc. It can be annoying. Another thing is the noise cancellation. For earbuds and not over-ear headphones, I know it won’t be perfect. But you really do have to basically max the volume to get any noise cancelling effect, regardless of whether you have the noise cancellation feature on. The quality of the music is still good though. I haven’t had any issues with the charging case like others have, and it seems to have a good battery on it. But these issues alone made me drop from 5 to 4 stars. I wouldn’t say to get it full price. It is worth its 50% off sale price.

I’m using it almost every day for a year, and it’s much better than my previous JBL earphones that died after 6 months. It connects fastly to the phone and get a lot of different settings. Unfortunately, lately there have been sudden interruptions in the sound for a couple of seconds, which is sometimes annoying. Also, with time of use, the volume in the earphones weakens, which is generally normal. The battery holds a charge just as well. Good bass and clear sound, I think this is one of the most successful models of in-ear headphones in the last couple of years.

Fine but not the best , expected more clarity
