JBL Live Pro 2 TWS - Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Blue

Amazing sound with high quality low-high drivers on these JBL's. Noise cancelling is best in class for these earbuds, and the pass-through mode for still hearing conversation with them in works very well. They last FOREVER. I work 12 hour shifts and can easily get through a shift with the bud in my right ear all day. Over my hour lunch break I put it back in the case and that charge is enough to get me through an entire day with no interruptions. In my experience the advertised 40 total hours of listening with the charging case is very accurate. I measured it at 38.5 hours with the volume set to about 80-85%. I'm sure you could easily get 40+ hours if using them at 50% volume. The charging case is great, feels very high quality. Charges wirelessly on a charging pad or with USBC input. Charges very quickly, roughly 1.5-2 hours for a full charge if you are charging them with a low volt charger as you are supposed to as not to damage the internal battery. *NOTE* please people, don't charge any of your earbuds of any brand with a 100 watt fast charger, you will damage the battery over time I promise. The JBL app is one of the best earbud companion apps I've used. It blows the BEATS app out of the water and is much better than the majority of its competition. You can change EQ, noise cancelling, and touch control programming quickly and easily. Speaking of touch controls, they are located on the stem of each bud and work very reliably in my experience. 1 tap for pause, 2 taps for skip ahead, 1 tap hold for voice assistant. 2 taps then hold on the 2nd tap for pairing mode. Haven't had any issues with accidental touches over the last 6+ months of using them every day. The sound profile is rich and deep, with these high quality drivers after Harmon kardon joined with JBL, they are much more well rounded than anything else in the 150 dollar range. Highs are crisp and satisfying and lows have a great little rumble without muddling the mids. Soundstage isnt too open like you get with some of the partial In ear designs but doesn't feel closed off and stuffy either. My father in law was an audio engineer in Hollywood for 40 years and worked for almost every major band under the sun as well as the Jimmy Kimmel show for many years, and when he tried these out on our last visit he was genuinely impressed. He is normally a Sony or Bose guy but expressed interest in buying a pair of these for around the house. As far as fitment goes, I go with the middle sized silicone tips and they work great for me. There are small, medium and large tips that come in the package. They are more comfortable than the beats I have and far more comfortable than my airpods pro. I can use them for 12 hours straight without ear fatigue. They are ported enough where they don't feel stuffy in my ears and don't make my ears itchy like most other buds do after only a couple of hours. Overall, I highly recommend these earbuds from JBL. They are the best value for money in this price range--bar none. I would take these all day everyday over my airpods pro and that's saying something as those are no slouch either. If you are on the fence about these, I'd advise you to just buy them and see for yourself. As someone who uses earbuds for 12 hours a day, 48 hours a week, these are my go-to buds and I've tried at least 20 other models from all the major brands.

I wanted to give these a score of 4.5, but that wasn't an option. I liked everything except the controls. I bought it at $100, but it is a good value even for $150 I will compare this to Edifier TWS1 Pro and CA Melomania 1+ which I used with Google pixel 4a 5G Setup: Live 2 pro is the best. It supports Google fast pair unlike the other 2. Melomania supports 5.0 Bluetooth with a right earbud as main so you can initiate a connection with either both side or right, but not left alone. You can switch easily from right only connection to left only, but not left to right. Edifier TWS1 Pro had bt 5.2 with aptx adaptive so it was easy to switch and connect. App support: melomania as a decent app, but no as good as JBL's. Edifier TWS1 Pro had no app support. Connection quality: the JBL has a reliable connection with a few cuts that last 2 seconds( I did most of my testing on music mode). It didn't have aptx so I used AAC. AAC had a smoother sound with wider soundstage. SBC had harsher sound that felt compressed. Edifier TWS1 Pro had no cuts at at all thanks to aptx adaptive. Melomania had ACC and standard Aptx and BT 5.0 unlike BT 5.2 on the other two. It had many connections issues and cuts. It tends to restart when a connection is lost while playing music and you end up hearing a startup voice prompt and the volume resets to %50. Very irritating. Battery life: that all features about 10hr + 30hr battery life in theory, but only JBL can come close to these numbers. The TWS1 Pro doesn't always attach properly to the case to charge and remain connected draining battery when that happens. Melomania is even worse because on top of this it an earbuds can connect to your phone sometimes even while charging so it had the worst battery life. I didn't like the high performance mode of Melomania because it sounded worse and drained more battery. I used the regular mode. Wireless charging: only JBL has it but I don't have a charging pad to try it ANC and Transparency modes: only JBL has it and the are both good but not the best in class. Case: TWS1 Pro has the thickest case. JBL's case is slightly smaller. Melomania had the smallest case. TWS1 Pro had only one LED light to indicate battery level of the case. Melomania had 5 LEDs for the case. Jbl had 3 leds for the case and 2 leds for ear earbud (7 leds in the case). That is so cool. Earbuds: TWS1 pro has bulky earbuds, but the touch area was not flat and it made touch controls easy to miss despite the responsive touch response. JBL has responsive touch controls, but the small surface area of the touch controls makes using touch controls a nightmare. Melomania had small earbuds that had responsive physical buttons. Comfort: all 3 were comfortable for me. Volume: Edifier TWS1 Pro had the lowest volume followed by Melomania. All of them were loud. JBL wasn't far behind Melomania. Sound quality: melomania had some weird magic. It sounded the best. It had great tuning and probably the best driver response time. It was warmer in a nice and natural way and it was the most detailed especially in bass. A V-shape tuning. However, it has the narrowist soundstage. JBL had a sound profile that is a bass boosted version of the Harman Target. It has a great bass. It was the smoothest sounding and it has the widest soundstage. TTWS1 lacked subbass and it had the harshest treble, but the least detailed. None of the 3 had an excellent mid but JBL had the mids of the 3 while Tws1 pro had the worst mids and weaks vocal details. In conclusion, the details of the driver carried the melomania, but JBL was the most balanced, smoothest and had the widest soundstage. Equalizer: TWS1 pro had no app. Melomania had a decent 5 band EQ but the frequencies were not properly labeled. JBL had the best EQ of all earbuds. It is a full featured EQ that labels the frequencies. I was able to make a custom EQ to make the sound even smoother even though JBL was already the most balanced of the 3. Autopause: only JBL has it. Sidetone: only JBL has that. Multipoint connection: only JBL has it. I could connect 2 devices at the same time (Android and windows), but I couldn't for some reason get both devices to seemlessly switch audio without completely disabling the other. That's weird and could be a bug. Earbuds controls: these is the area that made me want to deduct 0.5 star from my score for JBL. It has controls for everything, but you have to choose from 3 button presets that you can't manually edit for each earbud (playback, volume, ANC and Transparency). This is ridiculous. I can't have volume and playback on the same earbud in mono mode. Also I had to give up ANC preset completely because I set volume for left and playback on right. Tws1 had the best button preset for mono and stereo (despite not having ANC). Melomania had the same controls till they decided to remove volume control from mono mode in a firmware 😑 Latency: tws1 pro had the lowest latency thanks to Aptx adaptive. Melomania had an average latency. JBL had the worst latency on music mode (default preset). On video mode it has a low latency that is comparable to Aptx adaptive in Tws1 pro. Normal mode didn't lower latency that much from music mode, but it made sound quality noticably worse than music mode. I had to return Melomania 1+ because of all the connection issues and it stopped working. I am still keeping the Edifier as a backup earbuds despite the not so great sound and charging issues. I love the JBl live pro 2 and it and I will update my review if anything change in it

I’ve tried AirPods, Sony, Bose, Samsung, and a bunch of other premium buds over the years, and the JBL Live Pro 2 are the best true wireless noise-cancelling earbuds I’ve ever used. Sound quality is great. The signature bass hits hard and deep without muddying the mids or highs. The 11mm drivers deliver rich, immersive audio, and the JBL Headphones app’s 10-band EQ lets me tweak it exactly to my liking. Noise cancellation is really good for the price. True Adaptive ANC automatically adjusts to my environment and blocks out jets overhead and traffic noise like a champ. Smart Ambient mode lets in just the right amount of sound without removing the buds. It’s seamless and effective every time. Battery life is pretty good, up to 10 hours on the buds (with ANC) and a total of 40 hours with the charging case. Fast-charge feature (15 minutes = 4 hours) works perfectly. Call quality is crystal clear thanks to the six beamforming microphones. I use these a lot on Zoom calls and have had absolutely no issues. They’re also super comfortable for all-day wear (oval tubes + multiple tip sizes give a secure, pressure-free fit), IPX5 water-resistant for workouts and rain, and the touch controls are responsive. Multipoint Bluetooth connection means I can switch between my phone and laptop without missing a beat. At the current price (often around $100), these are a steal compared to buds that cost twice as much. Build quality is solid, the case is compact, and everything just works flawlessly. If you’re looking for earbuds that sound amazing, cancel noise like pros, last forever on a charge, and make phone calls sound perfect, I’d highly recommend these JBL Live Pro 2 These are the best earbuds I’ve ever owned, period.

Whoever is on here saying these are a waste of money are full of it. I have had these for 3 years. I am a heavy listener and have logged well over a thousand hours per my Spotify year end wraps. These sound good. They do a great job blocking sound. And they still cost what they did when I bought them 3 years ago. They come with multiple sizes of ear buds that will surely fit anyone’s ear. The app that supports them also will tell you if they are fitting correctly and the charge level. That’s about all I’m concerned with. I sweat a ton in the humid summers with these in and have worn them in the rain. Guess what? They still work and hold a great charge. You can use them for anything too. I make calls for work wearing them daily. I’ve had these in for hours, charged them, put them back in, and wore them for a whole other charge in one day more than once and they still feel great after I’m ready to call it a day. They couldn’t be easier to use either. Tap the right one to start or stop. Tap the left one for ambient aware or again for noise canceling. Tap the right one twice to skip ahead. It’s that simple. My only issue is that now the case doesn’t want to hold a charge and I am constantly having to plug it in. I guess the countless times it’s charged these is taking its toll. If you are looking for a quality earbud that will hold its charge, stay connected, and sounds good, these fit the bill. I have been totally satisfied since day one. If you are some audio snob that thinks if they know a few buzz words then they are experts, go spend $300 on something that is marginally better at best. These JBL earbuds are more than sufficient for me and are well worth $100.

These JBL earbuds sound as good as any of the Apple products that I have owned. They are a good quality and they come with their own charging case. Very easy to throw in your purse or your bag to take with you on the go. What I really like is that you can hear them beautifully yet they don't really go directly into your ears. At first, I didn't think that this was going to work so good but it actually does. This design probably makes better sense because they claim that really loud stuff right into your ear is really damaging over time. This was a very good purchase and I'm very pleased.

I bought these earbuds over a year ago to replace my dying AirPods, and I have mixed feelings about them. The audio quality is fantastic when listening to music. In particular, the noise cancellation is some of the best I have ever experienced. Things start to fall apart when it comes to phone calls. I am not sure if this is a safety feature, but if I am listening to music and a phone call comes in, all noise cancelling goes down the drain. Even when I am in the comfort and quiet of my home, people on the other side are able to hear my barely audible A/C or my cat meowing in the distance better than my voice. More than half the time, I end up turning off Bluetooth and taking the call on speaker if I am able to. Ironically, people tell me the audio on the call sounds better without the earbuds being connected! It almost seems like the background noise is AMPLIFIED, rather than reduced, when I take a call on my phone. My 5 years old Bose QuietComfort 35 II headphones do a better job for phone calls than these much newer earbuds. The phone call audio issue was not as big of a problem when I first purchased the earbuds, but in the last six months it has been abysmal. I have never reviewed any electronic purchase I have made on Amazon, but the quality of these earbuds on regular phone calls has been mind-boggling bad. Interesting, this is only a problem when I am connected to my iPhone 16; calls via my computer do not have this issue. TLDR; if you have an iPhone and your only purpose with these earbuds is to listen to music, it will be some of the best audio quality of your life, on par with Bose headphones. If you are even considering taking phone calls with these, save your ~$150 and put it towards buying Bose headphones.

Been using these about 1.5 months now. I have had many a pair of wireless earbuds or headphones (at all price points) and these do exceed all of those in every category except one. The battery life is outstanding (all day podcast listener here) the charging case (super fast) and size of it is perfect (fits in my pocket) , they feel comfortable even while sleeping in them (I am a heavy user), and they come with multiple sizes of the rubber pieces that go in your ear and you won’t lose them because they stay on the buds when you aren’t wearing them unlike my last pair. The only downside I have found is they don’t stay in my ears really well. I have tried all sizes of the rubber pieces that fit in the ear and get my best fit with different sizes in each ear, but they still fall out pretty easily. They fall out mostly when I tilt my head forward or bend over, I have to be very careful while doing dishes or using the restroom (afraid water will ruin them). Sometimes just moving different facial muscles pushes one out causing me to have to readjust one frequently. As frustrating as it is having to reinsert or readjust them frequently I would still recommend these. Might not work great for runners or cross fitter’s but I am managing fine with hiking in the mountains and gardening for hours. I mostly listen to podcasts and watch YouTube with them so sound quality was second in importance to me over battery life. That being said, they sound great with music and phone calls too. I really Like the noise canceling feature, but don’t know why one needs the talk thru feature when you could just pause it, and I wish it had volume controls on the buds but not a big deal. A nice feature is when one slips out of position it automatically pauses my content and starts it back up when reinserted. This is my second JBL product, first was a shower speaker which I also love. I will definitely consider buying JBL products in the future. UPDATE: 12-2-24 I am still using the same pair of JBL buds. I haven't lost either and am still very happy with my purchase. I have had them 1 year and 7 mos. and the sound quality and battery life are as good as new. They have already outlasted the more expensive ones I have had in the past. They still fall out of my ears on occasion (now less than when I first got them) but I always manage to catch them with my arm or shoulder and once one landed in a bathtub with water in it, I retrieved it super quick and to my surprise it was unharmed. I would absolutely purchase them again.

These headphones have been great for work, long battery life, clear sound, noise canceling works wonders. However, sometimes when I put them in the case I think maybe they don’t sit right or don’t fully register being in the case and they give feedback. A high pitch noise that I have a hard time toggling trying to get it to shut off. Also when I’m outside and it’s even the slightest bit windy, they’ll keep pausing and unpausing on its own? Not really sure why. Hasn’t been a huge deal for me as I’m not using them outside a lot right now but I’m sure for others this might be an issue. Overall, I think the price is worth it though and you get what you pay for. These are really honestly minor inconveniences but one’s worth mentioning

The sound quality is very good, and the noise cancellation is surprisingly good for this size. Battery life is quite good. There seems to be occasionally a brief cut-off in connections (could be interference or error on my side). Really happy with the purchase. Worth it. Will update if there is anything else to add.

Não encaixa e cai toda hora da orelha

Bought these (after much research) as a replacement for my Sony WF-1000XM3. The Sonys had excellent sound & class leading noise cancellation. But, I never loved the design. They never stayed in the ear properly, so I was looking for something in the hook design, like an AirPod. I spent some time comparing these JBLs to Apple AirPods. The reviews of these JBL earbuds suggested them as the best alternative to the AirPods. A sale, plus a coupon, and I got these JBLs on Amazon for $150, or about half the price of the AirPod 4 with ANC. In terms of performance & fit, the JBLs come as advertised. They are comfortable & crucially, they stay stable in my ear whilst walking. As for sound? They rate very well. I use the JBL app & tried a few sound profiles. What impressed me most was the bass performance. The noise cancellation initially left me wanting. I walked thru the train station for the first time with these (I have a hour daily commute) and the amount of noise leaking in was disappointing. But, I went into the settings and noticed the Adaptive Noise Cancelling wasn’t utilizing the full capability of the NC feature. So I turned off the “Adaptive” NC and manually set the NC to the maximum & the difference was noticeable. Now, the noise cancelling on these buds prob falls a bit short of Apple or Sony, but I’d guess you are getting about 80% of the NC at about half the price. All those low end rumbles are filtered out, making for a quiet commute for me. Some other points, I really like the case. It’s compact. It features wireless charging. Battery life for these buds is listed at 6 hours with ANC & the case gives you an additional 30hrs. If you are looking for a new set of earbuds, & don’t want to spend $300CDN, I’d highly recommend these buds.

I ordered it from Amazon US on Sep. 10, 2022 and receved it on Oct. 25, 2022! I have waited for more than a month and received a defected item! One of the 3 light indicators on the case is not working at all! The earphones works well but it is still so disappointing coz when I tried to return it for a refund, I should shoulder the expenses on shipping it back that is very expensive. They will refund me AED 50 for it but shipping fee will be around AED 175. This is not acceptable at all! I didn't have choice but to use it with that defect. But I might say that the product performs great as expected. The audio is great, the 6 microphones are works great and the battery life is amazing! After almost 2 weeks of using, for an unexplainable reason, the middle led light works properly now! Haha! Having said that, I am now satisfied. I just hope it will remain working properly.

Excellent product. ANC works brilliantly. Package delivered promptly and in good condition.
