Begrudgingly I cheerfully give 5 stars
What the heck kind of title is that you might ask??? I have latest Apple Air Pods Pro... and it hard to compare yet I cheerfully have both. I constantly fret about losing my Apple buds with the charge down so I cant find them. It takes all the fun out of it for me. ALSO the Apple don't have the base that I really like. I didn't want to get the JBL cheapest nor did I want to get the several hundred dollar version either. I have to compromise.. so .. HOPEFULLY this is helpful to someone on the fence like I was. 1) JBL never feel secure in my ear and in trying to get them secure I inadvertently reset or constantly cycle them. However.. Once in my ear.. and seated.. they are nice.. stay put and don't have that look I detest about my Aplle ones.. I got the BLACK JBL TUNE BUDS 2 and they sort of dont stand out. I hate the look that my ears always have a "Runny Nose" look.. the dangling white thing hanging down.. I really appreciate JBL black. 2) I have a very hard time figuring out how much charge is in my JBL Tune Buds. I only have battery clues that are in the 3 white lights on the front of the case. Fine... but I am never sure what charge is where and if buds are charged totally etc. HOWEVER.. the JBL last through the night for me. Apple seldom makes it ever so I have to use only one Apple bud at a time. I really like the immersion of 2 buds to help sleep. AND>>> the JBL seem to last, for me, about twice as long as the Apple ones. Still.. I never know what condition my c ondition is in HOWEVER.. if I get in a pinch.. I can drop back to 1 bud and go on forever with the JBL. 3) The range .. for me.. is less for the JBL than the Apple HOWEVER.. the JBL really are worth the slight drop in distance due to the lovely lovely BASS.. I love Bass. That would make it hard for me to ditch or ghost the JBL. I have 4 sets of buds.. A couple free sent for evaluation... however none stand up the quality of Apple Or JBL. My evaluation free ones were in the $100 range so I feel the comparison is valid. In conclusion... If you don't want that apple signature drippy white thing hanging down from your ear and you like a GOOOOD Bass thump and a REASONABLY fair price ... I think this is the one f or you. The lack of a good battery is still an issue but nor a deal breaker. It is made up for by insanely fast charge and long battery life.... Truly hope this helps a fence straddler..
