Not sustainable
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.Sounds is average. Take time to connect with android or iOS devices (Delay time anywhere from 15 to 50 seconds). Can only work with 1 ear for phone calls. The pair will only work if I am playing music (So bizarre). Less than 4 months after I bought the item, the right earpiece cover already separated from the based, leaving a 2-piece earpiece that I may need a glue to keep them together (no fall of the earpiece recorded that could explain such issue). Will attempt to return for exchange. Not sure if Best Buy will allow it.

Convenient, reliable, good sound, good microphone
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.These aren't going to blow you away, (they are not terribly loud), but the sound quality is good and I have not had the connectivity issues that I have read about regarding the previous generation / iteration of them. The clamshell case / charger is much more convenient to carry around than I expected and holds a charge for as long as you will likely need it. Finally, I've been pleasantly surprised with the quality of the microphone as I have had no complaints during phone calls and I use them regularly for work.

OK... Couple of issues, though!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.These appear to be fine earbuds, except for 2 issues: 1) Build quality is cheap (not surprising, but troubling nonetheless)--see the photo where my right earbud fell apart, while on a call. 2) Phone calls are only transmitted through the right earbud, rather than both left and right. This was not readily obvious on BestBuy.com when I purchased them, and I was disappointed to learn this upon setting them up with my phone. Other than those 2, they're fine.

Great for working out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is a great sounding unit. The Harmon Speaks truly sound amazing. This unit also fit/feels great in the ear and it stays put unlike some other totally wireless competitors. I also like that you can use just one ear piece should you be wearing it at work like myself, the other one just remains off in the charging case. The right ear piece is the dominant one and will need to be the one you use when only using one ear piece. My only dislike and the reason I give it only 3 stars is because the battery life is below industry standards. I listen to music and low to mid volume and I get 4hrs if I’m lucky, which is why I say it’s a great product for those who are working out or don’t some short 1-2 hr activities. One bonus is that when placing the ear piece in its charger case you have 1 hr of use after only 15 minute of charging. All in all I don’t regret my purchase and will keep rocking out with these bad boys. They are also sweat and water resistant

Q: Questionis the jbl free earbuds waterproof?
Asked by george.
- A:Answer They have an IPX5 water resistance rating. Which essentially mean they have some resistance to splashing and sweat. As long as you don't immerse them in water they are good for outside use.
Answered by Kotor
Q: QuestionHow good are they for running and not falling of your ears and sweat?
Asked by Runner.
- A:Answer It is important to use the right size ear tip to get them to seal tightly over your ear canal. If you fit them properly they will not fall out easily. They come with small, medium, and large ear tips. There are also gel sleeves in sized medium and large included that can help provide a tight fit for rigorous activities.

Q: QuestionIs there a trick or is there an issue with theses head phones charging? I have had them for 6 weeks now and about to give up on them - sound quality is good - but getting the left one to charge without physically holding it down In the case is near impos
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer This is a consistent problem with this product, while I like the ease of use and sound quality, both pairs I purchased had the same problem after about six weeks use. One side fails to charge. This is obviously an engineering problem with the product itself and both best Buy and JBL should stop selling them until it is corrected. They are ripping off consumers by knowingly selling a defective product.

Q: QuestionIf you only have one earbud can u still bluetooth to it. A mbd if yes is there a way to make that bud playback in stereo instead of just the left or right side?
Asked by Moneywood.
- A:Answer The right headphone can be used by itself. The left one can not be used independently of the right one. The left one will only ever pair to the right one. If you use only the right one, the sound will be mono and not stereo.
Answered by Kotor
Q: QuestionCan you talk on the phone with these?
Asked by Tone.
- A:Answer The call quality is typical for compact headphones. As with all headphones, the outside call quality is dependent on the wind and other environmental factors.
Answered by Kotor
Q: QuestionCan you please explain to me how I can sync this particular JBL earbuds so I can use the left ear while the right ear is charging?
Asked by Port1.
- A:Answer Only the right headphone can be used by itself. The left one can not be used independently of the right one. The left one will only ever pair to the right one. This is typical for all brands of "True Wireless'' in the ear headphones such as these.
Answered by Kotor
Q: QuestionCan you listen to music with the left ear while the right ear is charging?
Asked by Port1.
- A:Answer No because the left headphone can not be used independently of the right one. The left one will only ever pair to the right one. The right headphone can be used by itself though.
Answered by Kotor
Q: QuestionOnce earbuds are fully charged is it ok to keep them in the charging case or will that destroy the battery life?
Asked by Brewcrew82.
- A:Answer Hi there, there are no issues with the JBL Free being kept in the charging case since it's also being used as a carrying case. It won't have any effect with the battery life too since once the earbuds are fully charged, the case will stop charging them.
