Live Flex In-Ear Bluetooth Earphones, Water-Resistant and Noise-Cancelling Headphones with 40-Hour Battery Life, Black

Due to a silicone allergy , I can only wear the “stick open” design earbuds and had been a long time user of the Apple AirPods 2nd gen (which I preferred also to the stick open 3rd gen). (I own a lot of Apple products but could not use the AirPods Pro due to my silicone allergy and I do not own the AirPods Max but will probably get the 2nd gen Max when they are released but obviously you won’t be able to fit those in your pockets). So, one of my Apple 2nd gen air buds suddenly stopped working. I felt loathed to replace these with the same 2nd gen buds as not only are they 4 years old technology but have a now antiquated Bluetooth version and have been left in the dust with no noise cancelling refresh. This led me to explore what else was “out there” that supported this and had the latest version Bluetooth 5.2 LE and this brought me to incidentally my first ever JBL personal audio product , the Live Flex. At first I didn’t like the sound as they sounded a bit too bright and I actually returned them. But I decided to give them a second chance , as I missed them and decided to buy them again. The second time round I downloaded the JBL app which lets you use graphic equalisers to customise the sound to your preference, something Apple doesn’t let you do and which I admit is something I have always objected to in principle. Anyway, using the graphic equalisers I was able to boost the bass to 3 db and added a slight lift to the midrange (1db). I kept the treble at neutral. They no longer sound too bright and this made a huge difference. Now they are very addictive to listen to. (Note that the noise cancellation will be nowhere near as good as earbuds with silicone tips. ) These also look unique. The controls on the pods are one of the best features - rather than having to tap them or squeeze them which is uncomfortable (Apple are you listening ?) , you only have to lightly touch these and you get a feedback beep, it’s almost like capacitance touch. But I have never accidentally pressed them so oversensitivity has not been an issue. Also I tend to keep noise cancellation for these on by default which is another thing I would not have thought I would do, as its potentially yet another thing like listening not as the artist intended. But ultimately you need to listen to music they way you enjoy it the most, which must be what ultimately matters. If you don’t like silicone-tipped earbuds , these are definitely worth checking out.

Awesome sound quality. Good value for the price as I bought it on 50% off, but even not on sale worth buying. My husband likes it so much, it fits him very well. Battery life is long and easy to charge. You can even explore it through smart app.

Firstly, I will point out that not all ears are the same. When I wear them, it hurt my years because of the size. Just to get an idea, if you have the first version of air pods, these are slightly bigger, enough to be hurting when wore for more than 3 minutes (again, just in my case, others may find it comfortable). Except for that, amazing product, I am guttered that it does not fit my ears.

I bought these as a replacement for my JBL live pro 2 which I lost on Holiday, They are nowhere near as good. The noise cancelling is practically nonexistent, the buds themselves are an uncomfortable design and felt loose in ear , leaving my ear feeling sore when re fitting them . The app connecting the buds to my phone keeps dropping off and couldn’t detect the buds,the sound was decent but with all the negative issues with them I have had to return them.

I normally don't do reviews but after trying soo many earbuds, I thought I'd assist someone in my position. Am a Samsung user, I found the buds pro to be intruding and uncomfortable in ear. Am not after ANC, I like to hear my surroundings and work calls. ANC is a feature I'd take as additional if available. For me comfort is important if wearing long hours and on the move when out. I've found the airpods 2nd gen really comfortable but not compatible with android. The jbl live are probably more in line with airpods 3 with wider size and smaller stem however I've found it's more comfortable in my ear when compared. Jbl has multi point connection so important for me as can connect to my personal and work phone same time. The case design suits me as can keep it open on desk and pick up when calls come through. I use them in gym and equally fine for me, maybe not for vigorous but slight running, wright training etc is fine. It's waterproof so in rain when out, not an issue. Overall anyone wanting something with a non plug in earbud, similar to airpod 2nd and 3rd gen, this is it. Not to mention the battery life is awesome. App is great for general customisation which should be expected.

Sound quality is ok but no way near that of the Earfun Air Pro 4+ for which I paid a similar price of around £60. ANC isn't very effective and the right bud falls out quite easily but will try and rectify by fitting some silicone sleeves. Maybe 3 stars is generous.

Excellent arrived on time and quality as expected

I'm not sure about the noise cancellation.

Super kwaliteit en leuk gevoel om deze te dragen. Top product.

Ich habe diese Kopfhörer schon seit einem halben Jahr und bin mega zufrieden. Der Akku hält richtig lang auch wenn man sie mal ein bis 3 Wochen nicht benutzt. Ich finde den Klang richtig gut. Beim Sport und auch beim Joggen halten sie richtig gut im Ohr.

This is probably the most underrated semi open earbuds with ANC. If you are like me :- 1. Prefer to use semi open earbuds for workouts instead of in earbuds (uncomfortable) or headphones (Sweaty) 2. Love good quality sound signature with customizable EQ. 3. Some adaptive noice cancelling 4. Just use earbuds for workouts not calls / work 5. You love some deep bass without sacrificing the mids These are earbuds for you. I use this for my work outs for over a month and running and it stays in place. The connection is good and hardly drops and the case is very solid. The app is very good as well. The few cons are the response from tapping may be a touch slower. I recommend you watch some YouTube reviews on it before you grab them. For me, the build quality is premium and with a discount these are worth it for a semi open buds.

Fonctionne super bien et très beau son
