[@jenamass849]

Clear, concise, informative, and the most perfect voice for KZbin!!! Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique!!!! Seriously, can i have an ASMR?

[@rayreyes8497]

Bought the Tune Flex yesterday. $79.99. Plan to use the for working out and jogging. Good fit, good sound, fast charging. So far so good.

[@facts1752]

these are tap to skip songs correct?, and can you tap thru a beanie?

[@ApplleeVr]

​@@facts1752 yes

[@ericmartel-poliquin2925]

I was actually shopping for JBL earphones today? You guys reading my mind?? Lol

[@RTINGScomAudio]

Shhh 😂👀

[@learninggodot]

KZbin is owned by google, probably same IP-address database

[@DaveKingMusic]

These are on sale at half price now at Best Buy

[@ApplleeVr]

Yeah

[@Kyrie_serving]

It's the modern rubber + the more older normal look too??? I'm getting these! The shape is unforgettable 😮, I love these

[@brostelio]

Had them for a year. Very disappointing. I think they are capable (with equalisation) of producing pretty good sound with clear bass, but their fit is pretty bad and the charging case is atrocious. More often than not, they don't turn off when placed in the case. When I got them, they were pretty expensive and I accordingly find their shortcomings unacceptable. It's not the brand that it once was....

[@ericb3452]

Good review. Sounds like 235nc may be better re seal and ANC.

[@CsabaV]

I have them, 1 pair has already been replaced because the left side went almost silent, bass went away from both as well. The new pair have the same problem, so I'll just send it back for another replacement. Getting a bit disappointed, because the shape of the eartips are good for me. Doesn't hurt, neither pops out often from my ears.

[@XTJX]

Returned them and tried the Live Flex instead which were better. If in the US can find the Live Flex at Sam’s Club for lower cost than JBL site

[@kasyahlp1425]

​@@XTJXMy dad have one and its amazing but i think i have to go with buds2 because of cronic errors on jbl

[@electrofan1796]

I've returned, and it had that issue where only one connects. Exchanged it for another, but it's having the exact same problem with that one, too.

[@XTJX]

@@electrofan1796 I returned all three pairs of JBL tried and now using the Galaxy Buds 3 regular version... like them so far

[@pabloolmedo6011]

i bought the jbl tune flex like 6 - 7 months ago, and i got the issue with the left earbud, it doesnt charge anymore, like i cant properly connect to the pins in the case, i cleaned, try other things and nothing, it doesnt work. (im impressed that i read a lot of comments and posts about issues with the jbl earbuds, and all got the same issue with the left earbud, not the rigth). Really dissapointed because im huge fan of JBL for the JBL GO products. The tune flex has a very good sound quality, but the issue with the charge is unnaceptable.

[@justintvinhd]

i got the same problem in mine. Having owned many bluetooth headphones i think its more of an overall issues with bluetooth messing up and not accepting a charge. Taking the bud in and out like 100 times weirdly got mine to work again.

[@pabloolmedo6011]

@@justintvinhd hmmmm, kinda makes sense. First i tried reset the headphones to fabric values. It worked like 3 days when i was able to charge it, but then i tried again and didn't work anymore.

[@myniaggara]

have the same problem. left earbud is not getting charge, no solution. no active noise cancellation and the mics are so sensitive, takes every single noise. really disappointing

[@Flagellumdie]

I have the same problem with wave 300tws not even a year passed and the left one started to have charging issues

[@ahsanace21]

Use a qtip and clean the silver parts on the bottom of the earbud and also again in the silver parts in the case. Should fix the issue

[@Lifeinthe808]

I had to return my Tune Flex to JBL. Twice! The left earbud did not hold a charge. In both sets. I am returning them to JBL and replacing them with another model.

[@cassyguy]

Love these because they sound great without going very deep into your ear. I'm on my 3rd pair in half a year because after a month or two they stop connecting to the pins in the case and they don't charge anymore. This has been the case for all of my pairs. Going back for warranty again again again tomorrow!

[@kaymsi9070]

Thank you so much for the excellent, comprehensive review.

[@Yeshvanthkannan]

Very good honest review

[@Mart6890]

The ANC is non-existing ln them.

[@tom2point0]

The ones we have show noise cancellation as long as you’re using the correct tips.

[@Yeshvanthkannan]

​@@tom2point0no I tried every tip..it is not having better ANC.e Even ENC at 800rs working better then this

[@tom2point0]

@@Yeshvanthkannan they work fine for us is what I meant

[@artbyddp]

They have ANC but probably the weakest I've experienced. JLab has better ANC for budget earbuds. I got these half off and would never buy them otherwise.

[@Gearsandco]

Tbh for 50$ I didn’t even expect them to have noise cancellation, so I know it’s not so great I have my AirPod pro for that but on the go you can’t go wrong, one gripe they do hurt a but with the silicon tip even the smallest one.

[@ErwinPlayz]

What EQ setting would you reccomend for the most neutral sound profile?

[@ApplleeVr]

I like bass

[@Nexxuxx]

Maybe I just got lucky and got a pair with a better battery, I've used my pair for the last 9 months at least 5 days a week 8 hours straight at work and rarely have my battery die on me. Usually I get 8.5-9 hours before the low battery warning and about 30 minutes of use after the first warning before they power off.

[@mountinman1898]

Is the noise cancelling good or not really I'm planning on getting them

[@Nexxuxx]

@@mountinman1898 noise cancelling is mid on these, they aren't fully in ear so it's difficult to get a great seal. It's decent but I just upgraded to the Live Pro 2, the next step up in JBLs line of products, and the noise cancelling is night and day to me. If noise cancelling is super important to you, I'd consider stretching the budget a bit to get the Live Pro 2s. If you're dead set at the Tune Flex price point, I don't think you'll be disappointed though.

[@Nexxuxx]

@@mountinman1898 Also, check out Picky Audios comparison of the whole JBL line. Great info for deciding which JBL buds to buy

This was my 1st ever Bluetooth earphones. My $30 Sony plug ins are superior in sound compared to these $70 Bluetooth. I can still use them for lectures, but that's about it.

[@phische_7]

very disappointing device, i got them in around january-december and 1 hour ago my left earbud stopped working, some friend recommended for me to remove the mesh but its still impossible for me to even find how to do that. this device is not only expensive but very much a scam. this is my 3rd jbl device and i advise you, please do not buy jbl. its a hurt for your wallet and a disappointment to your ears

[@hottube135]

Good honest review my opinion is that JBL should continue making speakers only because that don't know how to make a good tws in ear buds terrible sound quality from most of them

[@BrandishingWeapons]

this man used a dummy head to show the earbuds and not his own?

I can barely hear my music. It sounds fine for a second and then it goes into a timid like distorted state. Dont waste 70 dollars on this absolute piece of junk.

Why would JBL list a product having ANC when it doesn't.. They should be half the price theyre asking due to the default lie theyve put out to us, the customer

You gotta use the sealing tips in order to hear the difference
