JBL Tune Flex - True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds Blue Small

Good sound quality, affordable price, good fit, and expected long battery play time. I use these earbuds daily, and they're working pretty well for me. I got a case for the earbuds holder for protection, and the texture of the holder is kinda too smooth. I got black as the color, and I like it a lot. The earbuds are light on the ears, so no need to worry about them slipping out. It comes with bud replacements and different sizes, so it can fit better and stay in your ear. Overall, I would recommend this if you're looking for earbuds that work and are for daily use. Read more

Update after 1.5 years: Had an issue where one earbud would stop charging, or rarely charge. First happened at 6 months. Exchanged under warranty. One year later, having the same issue. I have liked them. They have good sound and are easy to use. But I would not order them again. I might be a fool, but I'm looking at buying one of their other models. Mostly because I'm looking for a good brand name that isn't $200. Side note: JBL was great about the warranty and shipped the replacement pods quickly. Update after 5 months of use: A quick update of the ear buds. The charging of the ear buds is fast. Going from "low battery" to full takes a short amount of time. I think a minute or two. Never timed it. A couple of issues: * Taking calls on it is hit or miss. Often the headphones will get out of sync and it will do a weird binaural thing where it will alternate between each ear getting cut out for a split second back and forth for about two seconds. This can happen multiple times in a minute. * Over a bit of time of playback, the earphones will cut out for about 2-3 seconds. I'm not sure why. Maybe some sort of sync issue? More annoying when listening to an audio book than music. Original Review: This review is for: JBL Tune Flex - True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds (White), Small Overall, I like them. Video mode has no audio lag. They sound good with boosted base and sealed tips. I really wish there was a way to turn on the headphones without the case. Highs: * When using to go to sleep, the pillow won't accidently activate the touch controls (very nice). * Touch controls are responsive and are easy to activate. I haven't had them accidently double activate so far. * Video mode has no audio/video lag. Must be enabled in the app. By default it is set to Music mode. * Good sound. They sound very good when using the bass EQ, music mode, and the sealed tips. * Fit is good. Three sizes for sealed tips. * Can setup each touch control to a different command set. * Important! : If you want volume control, it must be setup in the app. * Has a "find earphones" function (only when still turned on). Emits a tone and is easy to hear. * Has an optional auto standby which also optionally deactivates ANC. For example: With some other earphones, ANC will stay on even with auto standby enabled. If using them to sleep to, ANC being on all the time will cause the battery to be low by morning. * Good Bluetooth range. Lows: * Hard to get out of the case. This seems to be common with all case based small headphones. There isn't a good way to grip them and they won't shake out. * When getting out of the case, it's easy to activate the touch controls over and over. (Skip, play, pause, volume up.) * No way to turn on the earphones without the case. Not even with the app. Cannot force standby either. * This means that if you forget the case, you can't put them in your pocket because the touch controls fire randomly. The app can turn off the earphones. * Couldn't tell a difference between ANC on or off. With or without the sealed tips. But I was not really surprised for small in ear headphones. Other: To put on or take off the tips, use a credit card or spudger to separate the white tips from the body. The sealed tips are easy to add and remove. Read more

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. UPDATE: after just 11 months of light to moderate use, they are doing the thing where one bud’s battery drains from 100% to nothing in 5 minutes, they’re failing to stay disconnected from the phone even when they’re supposed to be charging . Also the case gets stuck charging to only 10%. UPDATE 2: there is a fix for this, after which the earbuds are working well again: you have to stick a few layers of little pieces of tape in the inside of the lid to make it push the buds down harder into the pins when closed, so they both charge (the problem is, the springs for the pins goes bad over time, so they don’t make good contact). Then to clear out the glitches caused by this case fiasco you have to factory reset the buds according to the quick start guide, and then do this: open the JBL app, remove the buds to make them pair to the app, then put them back in the case BUT LEAVE THE LID OPEN, then in the app tap “power off.” I’ve had no more problems since. UPDATE 3: After a few months the same BS started back up again but this time on the other earbud, and this time none of the fixes work. The case absolutely won’t charge at all ever. I’ve given these so many chances. And no, cleaning the contacts makes no difference. Come to find out, people all over the internet have these same problems across many different JBL products. These are too expensive to be this flaky. I’m absolutely done with JBL. Read more

Love these ok first I'm on my third pair, let me explain. They are same the sound is great it does everything you would need it to do. My ears are very small I don't think that I'm usr the right size ear think that comes with it it's three different sizes and I went with the smaller one don't know why the one I'm using at this time is very small I just figured this out recently so od couse I don't have the other sizes any more but any it still is great. I lost them twice. One fell into the toilet bowl. Yep it sure did. Had to watch it disappear, so sad for me. Currently I have three. Why some many because there was a sell and I couldn't help myself. I find it to have one small tiny issue very very very small. O.k me, I only wear one at a time, never wore both at the same time. for me it's a safety issue. I find that after a while it does not hold a charge ok I see it's nt a mall issue. It will tell you how much charge it has le and mind always 10% in the left ear. I need to charge it for a long tome before it becomes full. No quick changes no no this happe. With two off them. Im not sure if is me or has anyone else had this problem but other than that I love it. Read more
