Convenient, reliable, good sound, good microphone
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Not sustainable
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

They were on sale $50.00 off the regular price. And still on sale now $149.99 on sale $99.99.Nice wireless headphones. The battery lasts a long time. I have all my music on my old phone so that's what I paired these in-ear headphones to. You won't be disappointed.

Small but mighty
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.JBL is known for making good headphones and I am happy to say that this is a great pair of true wireless earbuds. Let's talk more about them and why I found them to be great. I tested them out for about two weeks and I think thats more than enough time to form a proper opinion on these buds. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from these earbuds because they are so small. I am very surprised by the performance and sound quality. I have used my JBL in various types of settings and I am happy to report that I haven't had a single connection issue yet. I have maintained a solid connection while on the train, outdoors walking around and at home where I have multiple wireless devices. Sound is good I am honestly shocked with the sound quality out of the box. With no changes to the sound profile. These buds don't sound tinny and have a decent amount of bass to them. Bass isn't going to shatter your ears but they are good enough. Controls are good the left bud skips tracks, the right pauses music and answers and ends phone calls.Phone calls are clear and I haven't had any issues there. The other party heard me just fine despite the fact that I am soft spoken. Battery life is roughly 3 hours without charging the buds which is better than advertised. With charging them in the case I got three charges. :::Pros::: - Good battery life - Clear phone calls - Touch controls - Charging case is sturdy :::Cons::: - No smartphone application - No USB C on the charging case - I would like a more snug fit in the ear. Overall these JBL earbuds are great at what they do and that is play music or videos, and phone calls. All in all these are a good buy if you want something reliable and easy to use. There is a lot to like and very little to dislike.

Great for working out
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Excellent, completely wireless headphones.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These JBL - FREE True Wireless In-Ear Headphones really rock! They sound fantastic, the look great, and the feel very comfortable. Having completely wire free headphones these days is pretty much a must. They need to be lightweight and comfortable, have a good battery life and be able to work in extreme environments. These JBL manage all this in a stylish and convenient package. Opening the box, you have a charger/carry case, the two ear pieces, a charging cable and the instructions. There are three ear tip covers included and two gel sizes that actually fill the ear cavity when placed over the ear bud, so there are plenty of ways to make sure you have a great fit with these ear buds. Connecting the headphones via bluetooth was a breeze, just press the large JBL logo on the side and it will put them in to pairing mode. Look on your phone under bluetooth and you'll see them pair up quick enough. The sound is crisp and clear, with decent bass throughout different types of music, from Classical to Rock, the sound came through with a nice punch and cleanliness to it. One thing I did notice was using these earbuds to watch video content on Netflix, there appeared to be a millisecond delay from what you see and what you hear on the screen. It could be just a poor connection with the Netflix server, but there was just the slightest of lags between what you saw and the sound you heard. This is of course negligible when listening to music as there is nothing of any note to sync with. The charging case has LED indicators to let you know the state of charge, and the ear buds connect to your phone (or iPad) as soon as you take them out of the charging case, you don't have to re-pair them each time. They have a cool white LED ring around the JBL logo while in the case, and the LED charging status lights give a subtle human face look to the charging case when you close the translucent lid while charging. Don't know if that was intentional to 'humanize' the product, but a nice touch none the less. The wireless range was adequate walking around the downstairs of the house (about 30ft) but moving upstairs, the ear buds did cut out until brought back into range of the phone, but that is to be expected. Battery life in my testing seemed to be on par with other wireless ear buds at about 4 hours. The charging case can charge your buds a further 4 times, without having to be hooked back up to power again, via the included USB cable. Overall, these are very nice, ergonomically designed, comfortable, great sounding headphones.

OK... Couple of issues, though!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

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: QuestionAre these noise cancelling for gyms that play really loud music?
Asked by alsully4.
- A:Answer These are PASSIVE noise cancelling - meaning the tighter you make the fit - the better the noise cancelling will be. Active noise cancelling uses battery power to help mask sounds - the JBL Free X version DOES NOT do that. Likely you will be able to hear a little of the loud music...
