JBL - Reflect Earbud Headphones - Black

I love the sound, I loved the fit, I loved the functionality and design. The magnetic ear buds allow you to connect them together around your neck after a workout, and the earbuds stay tight. The down side: The rubber pieces that go over the earbuds fall off easily and can get lost. I contacted tech support and they were helpful but really hard to understand.

I was in a rush on a trip and forgot my 6 year old headphones. I stopped in BestBuy to buy a replacement pair of headphones for my Note 3 Mobile Phone; I had a long trip ahead of me and wanted to listen to some music. Not really looking, I grabbed the JBL headphones, JBLREFLECTIBLK, that a very nice BestBuy representative recommended. The headphones stay in my ear comfortablely and do not fall out when running around. The sound is good and it surprised me when someone called. It was a bonus to find a built in mic and volume control on the cord. Totally loving my JBL headphones. BestBuy didn't steer me wrong. I love shopping at BestBuy!! What a time saver!!! Thank you BestBuy!!! :o)

I have small ear canals and need earbuds that are adjustable and the fact the JBL earbuds locked into place was even more appealing. For me, it took me a few times to figure out how the earbuds actually locked. I guess I was making the process too difficult. By accident, I heard one of the earbuds actually lock in place. From then on it has been so easy to use them and they stay in while I am walking, working in the yard, etc--regardless of level of activity and sweating. There is a left and right earbud. The left has a small plastic node under the earbud. Once you know it is there you can quickly feel for it to make sure they are inserted properly. There is a large earbud component which sticks out a bit from the ears but my hair covers them up fairly well. Not sure if I would be as happy if my hair was shorter. Soon after I purchased them the earbud component fell off. I thought I put it back properly but it came off and I didn't discover it until a few hours later. Without the earbud piece there is a post that is very uncomfortable to use even for a short period. I was able to find the missing piece. I've not had additional problems keeping it attached so I suppose I didn't put it on properly the first time. The cord appears to be durable. I decided to spend the extra money as I had gone through three inexpensive pairs in less than a year. The JBL's have a one year warranty. The cord also has includes a reflector strip. I am satisfied with the sound quality. For me there was a bit of a learning curve to use them but all in all, I am quite pleased with them. The earbuds come with a cord extension that I feel is necessary otherwise for me the cord would be too short. I don't feel there is too much cord with the extension, seems to be fine. Because the cord is a bit thicker than others I've had, I find it less likely to get tangled and pulled.

Since the headphones have the soft clip that contours your inner ear to stay put, it feels a little larger than regular in-ear headphones; however, it's still comfortable. I use it for yard work and does stay in. The sound quality is pretty good. I compared it to the Apple earbuds and the bass on the JBL is slightly less, though you hear the voice slightly more. I enjoy bass heavy music and JBL still has enough to keep me happy. Even though these headphones are noise-canceling, people can hear the music clearly if the volume is high and they're next to me. It may cause annoyance to the person next to you, say on an airplane. The magnetic ends of the buds are a great and creative feature. You can simply remove the earbuds from your ear, let them dangle, and they snap together so they are easily organized and you're not chasing them around. Overall, I like these headphones and happy with my purchase.

Amazing headphones, especially for the price. Very crisp mids and highs and a great low frequency bass response that is perfectly suited to compliment the mids and highs. Not overpowering and muddy like beats by dre earbuds. I had a chance to listen to both bose soundtrue earbuds as well as beats by dre earbuds and as soon as you hear these JBLs you can immediately discern the difference in audio quality, especially for music like rock, metal, classical, symphonies, etc. But they still do the job very well for dance and hip hop with a clean bass response. For $50-$60 these are a no brainer and I would have easily paid twice that considering they are much better quality than other $100 range earbuds sets such as the beats and bose earbuds. Another reviewer stated that these are too heavy? Either they weigh 60 lbs or they are considerably weak because these are some of the lightest headphones I have ever handled. JBL even went the extra mile to make these with a tangle free cord and the magnets on the earbuds are great little additions that helps keep them securely around your neck if you're working out.Oh lastly, make sure that if you have an android device you get the android version and for apple products get the ios version as two different versions of these headphones are manufactured.

I use the headphones every day for extended periods throughout the day to be able to use my mobile phone hands free and listen to pod casts while working. They are comfortable, sound great and seem very durable. I had used the Bose MEI2 head phones for years and am mainly comparing the JBL to this model. With the Bose I had to replace them at least once a year because they didn't hold up to the beating they took with every day use. The wires would pull away from the harder plastic parts and fray. In contrast the flat and stiffer wires of the JBL head phones don't tangle nearly as bad as the Bose' thinner silicone wires. The downside to the JBL's stiffer and less tangle prone wires is that they transmit more handling and friction noise through to the ear buds. That being said the noise is manageable with better wire handling techniques I've started to learn including using the built-in collar clip that helps anchor the head phones to your clothing. I really like the price as opposed to the more expensive Bose as well as the sound quality seems better in the bass frequencies when the molded silicon ear buds are properly inserted into the inner ear. Properly inserting the silicon ear buds also greatly improves the ambient noise reduction and makes them comparable to the really expensive noise cancelling head phones. The technique of properly inserting the molded ear buds is easy to learn and you'll really hear the difference when done right. They work well with my Windows 8.1 phone including volume & call control as well as voice command initiation. The mic has good sensitivity and clear. Overall the head phones have solid build quality, good audio performance and a reasonable price. A very good value in my opinion.

I was looking for a good sound isolating ear bud for running, work, and any other activities. I looked at these and the bose ear buds and figured I would give these a try first since they were about half the price. They have worked great so far. Very good sound isolation. Can't hear anything else hardly when I'm running or working out which I like. I only have the volume on my phone set at 25-40% volume most of the time and that does the trick. These come with 3 different ear bud inserts so you can pick the size that is most comfortable and fits the most snug. I've worn these for 2 hours and they have yet to become uncomfortable. They also fit snug and I minimally adjust them if at all. Nice flat cord that is fairly rigid so it does not tangle and is reflective coated. There is also a little clip to attach to your shirt when running to keep the cord from swinging all over the place. Which at first I wasn't sure of but actually like it quite a bit now. Only thing I'm still not sold on is that the main cord is short for use with an arm band phone/mp3 holder and comes with an extension that is about 1' long to reach to your pocket. Would have rather had just one normal sized cord, I see this extension cord and extra plug in as just another spot that the product could fail or be wrecked. I had a pair of Beats ear buds that suddenly stopped working in one ear bud which is why I picked these up. I honestly can say I think the sound quality is similar and I think these are better at sound isolating. These do come with controls on the cord but I picked up ones for an apple phone and have an android phone. My mistake, but I never used them before so no big deal.

I absolutely love these headphones. I mainly use them for working out (their intended purpose) and as my gaming headset with my Ps4 (not intended purpose). Pros: The sound is great, for the price. Obviously if you spend $200+ for headphones they will sound better, but these are VERY good. Comes with three sets of earbuds to help sizing them into your ear. This is great to have because between working out and gaming, these are in my ears A LOT. The back of each earpiece has a small magnet that will cause them to very easily clip together. Very nice feature when working out. I also love the cord design. Rather than the normal round cord that gets tangled way too easily, this is a flat cord that I have yet to have a problem with. Cons: Only Con to me is the headphones do stick out a little far. Really a small gripe.
