JBL Wave Flex In-Ear Wireless Earphones with IP54 and IPX2 Waterproofing, TalkThru and AmbientAware Technology and 32-Hour Battery Life, White

I’d previously purchased two sets of Soundpeats earbuds over the last six years which were used daily. With Soundpeats increasing their price and making their new product range with cheap looking materials, I decided to look elsewhere. These JBL earbuds are great value for money - a nice, premium looking product at a good price with great sound and great charging. If you’re in the market for an earbud that doesn’t break the bank, this is the choice for you. It may be superfluous to state, but my earbud experience was to put the bud straight into the ear. I did the same with these earbuds and discovered they felt loose. I discovered they’re designed to be inserted as normal and twisted slightly to create a lock-in effect in the ear. This is actually a great piece of design I’d not experienced before.

Yesterday after using my wired Huawei earphones (yea those white ones that came with Huawei P20/P30) I've decided I want something of good quality yet simple in the £50 range and ended up buying these. Quick few things about them: the connectivity is amazing, as soon as you take them out of the box, grab the instruction book and get the app for them, then set it up for JBL Wave Flex, after that you just take the buds out of the case and the magic begins, I'm familiar with all kinds of tech but that was really impressive, apart from the app you don't really need to do anything. There is no noise cancellation, in fact, these are quite the opposite and have settings to make you even more aware of your surroundings. The sound is crystal clear, the bass is nice and soft but not too boomy, as someone who has a subwoofer in my car I would like a lot more but it's just impossible from these type of buds, unless you want to buy some silicone tips for them but that would just beat the purpose. Inside the app you can play around with the settings and find what suits you best. They are light, comfortable and in my honest opinion they sound great for what they are. They charge quick too. Are they worth £45? Well, I've had better sounding buds for the same price but they were completely different type, this time I wanted the airpod type and I am happy with the purchase as they met my expectations, can't go wrong with JBL. Bought a pair of Ankers for £16 too but looks like they will go in the drawer for the future. I do recommend this to anyone looking for a simple pair of good quality buds.

They have good battery life and the sound quality is good.

I will never be able to wear the rubbery bit in-ear, so I used the AirPods gen 2 for a few years extremely comfortably, but was always unhappy with battery life being so short (less than 4 hours). I took a leap buying these for a fraction of the price but I have to say I'm impressed by their sound quality and especially battery is so long, I don't have to be worried of having the buds on for few hours at work and worry I'd remain without headphones for my last meeting of the day. Overall for this price they are a true bargain for people who aren't sound experts (like me). I can surely hear the difference compared to the best in class such AirPods, but it is so little, and overall the buds do what I need, so the price advantage paired with a good quality, becomes the true winner here compared to other expensive, higher sound qual ones. These are for you if you are not looking for extreme bass sound but can't wear the rubber piece in-ear and still want decent sound quality. Also, the size of these is much smaller than their sister JBL Live Flex (the top quality of JBL open ear series, which also cost triple), which I tried and had to return because they were so big they would fall off my small ears. If you are used to AirPods gen 1/2 size, these are very close to that.

Great headphones. Bought for my partner, he uses them everyday. Super easy to link to your phone, handy compact size that fits in your pocket. So far no decrease in sound quality after almost a year of regular use. Relatively sturdy too as our toddler has thrown them across the room a few times!

Good 👍, but sometimes after putting buds in case one of the earbuds won't stop playing and even after closing the lid, the ear buds still is connected and will be playing (could hear it playing if I put the case near my ear)....I had two of these and both of them have the same problem... I can be solved by pressing earbuds down after inserting, so that it connect properly with the pin below in the case... I am giving 3 star because of good quality sound and have open earbuds and seal earbuds convertibility. I brought the second one form JBL website and delivery was really quick, and brought the first on from Flipkart. Both have problems.

I previously bought a much more expensive pair of earbuds. They were fine, but i found myself constantly re-securing them in my ears and they were sluggish to reconnect with poor audio cues. In contrast, these have been effortless since they i took them out of their box. The audio is clearer at a lower volume; they're lightweight and sit so comfortably, i forget they're there; and best of all they connect to my phone faster than any other pair i've had, working just as well when using one or two buds. The only slight nuisance is that they don't charge wirelessly, but it's worth it for the lower bulk

Terribly disappointing sound quality, especially considering JBL's reputation. They do not go nearly loud enough (used with a Pixel 7 phone) so I cannot hear an audiobook or blog clearly whilst walking in the street. Quality with music is extremely thin and scratchy, quite irritating and uncomfortable - and not loud enough either. To be fair, if they went loud, that thin treble would be to painful to listen to anyway. The JBL app is not much use either, with very few equalization options. I have had better results from the sort of no-name earbuds that Amazon sells for £15 - though they can be a bit hit-and-miss. The Huawei SE2 earbuds cost slightly less than these JBL's and out-perform them in every way. They are not perfect, but they are richer, deeper and play far, far louder. These JBL's are an utter waste of money, but stupidly I trashed the box before having a proper listen - otherwise they would have been sent back.
