[@shivamoogorah1139]

For the left earbud, you also have the talkthru mode after 1 press. It goes Talkthru - Ambient aware, then another press to switch fo normal. Thanks for this video!

[@corenchiereynaldo2417]

No, it goes as follows. Press once for AMBIENT. Press once again for AMBIENT WITH MUSIC. Press once again for NO AMBIENT BUT WITH MUSIC.

[@CreamyCrumbs]

Had these for a few months now and kind of hate them. Had to get them exchanged for a new pair within one week, thought id still give them another try but I regret that now. My case rarely does its job of charging. My right earbud is stuck on the blue light glowing and I cannot turn it off, charge it or do anything with it. Bummed out.

[@skyhey]

I need help.....I already bought now my second JBL Reflect Flow and with both headphones there is the same problem......pairing works very good, but if it´s connected with my smartphone or my notebook there are constanty dropouts with the music, it´s terrible. It will be very strong when i move more than 2m away from the smartphone or leave the room- The same problem when i connect it with my notebook. I have another truewireless "JBL Free X" and there are no problems withit. I´m thinking about i do something wrong anyway cause it´s the second JBL Reflect Flow that do not work. Can anyone help me?

[@harrykhalifa8689]

Thank you man

[@vog-]

I put them in the case and they both have red lights, until the left one fades away after about 20-30 seconds of putting them in. Does this mean they’re charged when the light goes away?? When I check the charge of the buds when I connect it shows it at half battery but I always use both at the same time

Please tell me how i can turn only left headphon ?

[@FroliccampersPH]

I have a quick question regarding my recently purchased JBL Reflect Flow. How will I know if the battery case is already full? I know that there’s a led indicator at the back, does it automatically turns off the led once fully charged? Thank you for your response! ☺️

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

Hi, the battery of the charging case is full when all LEDs are constantly on.

[@FroliccampersPH]

MegaSafetyFirst thank you for your swift response. However, I’m still wondering because all 4 LEDs are currently on. No more blinking lights. But when I remove it the usb charger, it will show as 3 bars. I’m not sure if this is normal or what.

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

@@FroliccampersPH Interesting, I just checked in my charging case. For me all four bars stay lit after a full charge and unplugging it form USB.

[@bayumatauranga4466]

@@FroliccampersPH I have almost similar issue. But in my case, whenever I remove the usb charger, the 4 LEDs will go straight to 1 LED.

[@xamentle5065]

Lol watching this with my JBL Reflect Flow EarBuds. Edit: Thank you so much for the heart❤️ And a question, do you know how to fix a thing i did write about in an another comment, about when you listen for a while, the earbuds disconnect from each other, and make a sound and then reconnect again, and thats really annoying. This happens on a duration of 0,5 so they reconnect to each fast, but it is still very annoying, can you look in to it or do you have a solution😄?

[@-Maximo]

[@danndann7481]

hi, i use them at work and i can only use one at a time, i don't understand why i can't just use the left side .. i can use both together or just the right one alone but the left one doesn't connect with the phone, does anyone know why? i can not find this information anywhere .. can only use the left while the right is in the loaded box? thank you if someone tells me

[@wayneoneill5265]

The left earphone is linked through the right earphone, it can't connect on its own by design.

[@xamentle5065]

I have the "problem"it's not really a problem but it's annoying as hell and that is that while i listen to for example music the earbuds just disconnects from each other for like 0,5 sek and then reconnecting again it's just very annoying and i get hurt i my head because i hate to have sound going from ear to ear because when they disconnect from each other the right one disconnect first and then the left and then the right reconnect again and then the left one and that is terrible for me because as i did say i hate to have sound i one ear so even in surround sound it's hard to me to listen to more sound in one separate ear

[@dimmypan965]

What about volume?

[@StubbleDwarf]

When I hold the right button in for 5 seconds it doesn't turn the ear buds off. Google comes up instead. Is there anyway I can turn the buds off and on without using the app?

[@joninurmela1291]

My earbuds have that red light on for like five seconds, then it turns off for a bit and then back on again. I just charged them for two hours but they didn't charge almost at all. They're almost new, so I am assuming they're broken?

[@downbelxw]

Try removing rubber parts and also see if there is any dust on charging pads

[@irenafreidin2932]

This fixed my problem. I turned on the ambient awareness, and couldn't figure out what was going on. 😂🤦‍♀️

[@alejortega87]

How do I check the battery percentage on the buds?

[@tarrah662]

Your phone may tell you, but outsode of that, I am not sure.

[@michelisperian8496]

Very good review! But my personal experience with these earbuds has really been deceiving. Had problems with the base, charging contact, left bud not working on it's own, etc..

[@TehMezdawg]

Me too. One of the worst purchases I’ve ever made. No joke. Google charging problems if you don’t believe me. These are awful product.

[@callmewierdo]

Yep i lost faith in this brand

[@CarloJackson8823]

Same problem with left bud. I wonder if they can work independently

[@TryppiUnkle]

Okay. I have a question. So the last wireless earbuds that I had were IPX7's just like the Reflect Flow that I now use. I took a shower with my old pair that I had before I got my reflect flow wireless earbuds and after I took a shower with them one day, all the sudden I wasn't able to speak to anybody over the phone. I could no longer here the person that was calling me speak but they supposedly could hear me. Now, I really wonder if taking a shower somehow messed up my old pair. To be honest, they were rather cheap as I bought them off of the Walmart app. But, I really love my JBL's that I now have and would like to be able to take a shower and use them, but I am worried that the same thing is going to happen again just like my old pair of wireless earbuds that I no longer use. Do you think that my JBL reflect flow would be perfectly safe and undamaged if I used them in the shower?? Just rather play it safe than sorry. Lol.

[@fangerboardin4741]

Invest in a Bluetooth speaker and don’t use earbuds in the shower lmao

[@irenafreidin2932]

They are not waterproof. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@iMacEagle1]

OMG some people are just very strange to use earbuds in shower. Give yourself a break. Next time you want a going dive under water with earbuds too.

[@rohanpurbe8896]

I have power off the earbuds and kept in case but still the led lights are on, why?

[@paulsam4159]

can you listen through only either of the ear buds?

[@hadenliang114]

I didn’t use my reflect flow ear buds for around 2 months and now they are not charging. All 4 bars on the cage just keep blinking when I charge it but the led lights of the ear buds don’t turn red nor blue. When I disconnect the charger, all the bars on the cage go off. I tried cleaning the charging holes on the ear buds. Still not working. What can I do?

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

That problem sounds familiar. I had something similar after I wasn’t using mine for a while. I don’t remember how I managed to recover mine. But eventually they came back working like before again.

[@ryujiokubo5822]

my brand new headphones apparently don't work. I charge the case (the white light on the back appears) but I simply have no sign of life on the earbuds

[@Stxphennn]

I have these but whilst charging the right side does light up red whilst the left side stays but sometimes they stay on red then go off after a few minutes but they aren’t fully charged

[@fuckingfuckaduck]

Had same issue after 2 weeks. Returned them. Had to wait 2 weeks to get them repaired but got new ones instead. After 2-3 weeks they started doing the same thing. Another issue I'm having is that the sound in the right isnt as good as in the left.

[@tarkancinar3570]

My earphones aren’t charging so I returned them for a new pair and it still doesn’t work, what am I doing wrong?

[@livinlouddsm]

Charging pins on the case corrode i think. Try cleaning them and then lubricating, mine had a pin stuck inside so I had to wiggle it for quite some time, but eventually it got out, then put some oil on all of the pins, and they charge for now. Also the earphone charge ports corode the same way, so clean them from sweat/water before placing them in the charging case.

[@ttimez1334]

Idk why mine isn’t charging. The battery on the case is full, but still won’t charge. When I plug the case to charge and place the earbuds in, the red light turns on for 30s then turns off. Idk what to do.

The left one won’t work by itself.

[@gabbtube]

Does anyone know if the JBL Reflex Flow Earbuds automatically turn off if you just put them in the case???? They appear to do so but I'm not sure. This is a lot more convenient and quicker since you dont have to press the right ear bud button for 5 seconds.

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

Hi, yes, they do turn off as soon as you place them into the charging case.

[@NaturePaganWitch]

how do you turn up volume on the ear buds? It doesn't tell me that anywhere.

[@adamtuk]

thats what I want to know. Thats what I came for

[@NaturePaganWitch]

@@adamtuk Apparently you cannot - you have to do it on the phone or device itself - that totally sux.

[@adamtuk]

@@NaturePaganWitch tell me about it. I wanted to link my buds to my xbox so I could use wireless earphones. hooked Xbox through SPDIF to a Bluetooth transmitter syncs up fine but no way to adjust the volume. Can't do it though the Xbox as SPDIF gives full volume control to the device so it's coming through at full volume and no way to turn it down.

No need to turn them off. Just leaving them in the case is ok.

[@hughmungus8320]

I dropped mine in a 5ft pool but got it out in less than 30 seconds. It still works but I see a blob of water in the top button, mine are blue. What should I do?

[@MegaSafetyFirst]

Hi, the water might corrode the circuitry over time, causing the earbud to fail eventually. I would try to get the water out by leaving it in a small closed jar of rice for a few days. That would draw some of the water out. If you feel confident enough you could also try to open up the earbud and dry off it manually. I have never opened up this model, but assume it can be opened in a similar way in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZXNo4ehpJarrdk
