I've had these JBL LB3 T.W.N.C.E(s) about a month ago, and I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality! I know this is JBL we're talking about, however with some manufactures looking to cut costs and sometimes seem to just want to "get the product to the consumer" quality can sometimes take a backseat to (the latest and greatest packed w/useless features to jack up the price).
Not the case with these! I'm an audiophile and I'm very particular about not only what I spend my hard earned money on, but the quality of the product itself. From the compact design, sleek look, accurately-sensitive touch-screen (which was a total surprise, and shows just how long I've been out of the wireless earbud game), and many (USEFUL) features are some of the highlights of this product!
Easy to pair, however it takes the buds a little longer (like up to ten seconds) sometimes to recognize, and connect to the app (w/buds right next to phone), easy to navigate through the again (surprisingly -MANY- different options), and fairly lightweight.
The meat and potatoes are the intuitive GUI/app that allows you to control just about every aspect of your listening experience. I was blown away by the ability to not only have an option for, but be able to customize your EQ, listening modes i.e. NC, obvi, Ambient Aware (which allows you to listen to whatever you like and still be "aware" of what's going on around you or the Talk Through feature (GENIUS)! The MAJOR+ plus is the control you have with the case itself! OMG this is so intuitive. To be able to -only- use the case and not my phone to check msgs, vol control, change listening options, and it even has a built in (flashlight) YES....a FLASHLIGHT!!!!! These are far better than I expected in terms of options, but the main test of course is the sound quality and these DO NOT let you down when it comes to these! True to the JBL reputation the voices are rich, crystal clear and up-front, the mids are lively and not stale, and lastly the bass is deep, rich, accurate, never bottom-out, and not over saturated and sounds true to the intended range! I may not have the best studio equipment, however listening to these are almost like listening to my KRK studio monitors! REALLY!
I know this is lengthy, and I still am probably going to leave something out, but the last thing I'll leave you with is the option that I didn't discovered after about two weeks or so. There is an option (in the app) to have up to (SIX) nature sounds going all at once or you can de-select down to one nature sound! This is something some may never use, however coming from someone with insomnia and that uses a sounds machine, white noise, rain machine (every night), this was a shock and surprise (no I didn't read the instructions all the way through initially) Lol. You can set a timer for the sounds as well.
The (ONLY) things I would suggest or would have liked to see is the ability to turn the volume up about five more levels. Don't get me wrong they are LOUD, CLEAR, and have RICH, DEEP BASS, but on some quieter recordings sometimes you want to turn them up just a couple more times. Overall these are a solid pair of earbuds and they DO NOT DISAPPOINT! I would highly recommend these, and (no I don't work for BB), but I did purchase the protection plan. I got these on a really great sale, however if/when I find an electronic device I plan on keeping and utilizing heavily I want to protect them. That's your call, but with all the biking, walking, working out, mowing, yard work etc. I'd rather just be able to get another pair vs spending ~$200 for another pair. Note that I also have dropped them once (waist high on a hard surface) and there was no damage to the integrity of the case or the buds! I hope this helps. Cheers!
Oh...I almost forgot...set the case to (TURN OFF ((another great and wonderful feature)) after a certain amount of inactivity to save battery life!

These earbuds sound really good. ANC and Ambient Aware are decent. In addition, the battery life on the buds themselves are excellent and the fit in my ear is really good. My issues with buds is that in my opinion, the charging case is more of a gimmick than a necessity because the charging case battery life is subpar and there is not really much benefit from using it to control the buds. Furthermore, the buds have a weird feature to where it auto defaults to having Ambient Aware mode on each time you connect your buds. Even if you take them out momentarily and put them back in, Ambient Aware will toggle back on. Lastly, the buds will randomly connect to my device while they are in the case. Hopefully, the issues I stated can be fixed with an update. Overall, these buds sound really good and have great battery life, but with the issues I stated, I would not recommend.

The fit is great, they dont slip out even if your exercising. They also have good anc, and the case has a screen which is quite responsive, and you can add your own wallpaper which is so cool. Sound is good and battery life is great so far.

I picked these up because I love JBL. I have the over the ear model headphones for my computer, two of the 110 party boxes and the Flip 6. I was using Galaxy Buds Pro 2s and Airpod Pro 2s before these. I hated the Airpods and enjoyed the Galaxy Buds a lot. I had to switch these to the next size smaller rubber ear nubs from the ones that were preinstalled. After that I got a great seal, no falling out or getting loose. I had them for about 4 days now, washed the truck and mowed the lawn with them in. I'm in Mississippi so it was 100 degrees outside and sweat didn't seem to bother them. After 4 hours of continuous use the case reported each bud was at 65%, I was also using ANC the entire time. The sound quality was excellent. Setup took a minute after downloading the app to my phone, both the buds and case needed to update. Connection to my phone was fast and easy. Honestly I really like these and the "tap" feature was something I really liked. After using the Airpods and having to squeeze them to do anything I'm glad to be able to tap to answer calls or pause music. Call quality was also excellent, friends reported they couldn't hear wind noise or had any problems hearing me. On a purely cool note and not really necessary, I like the case has customizable backgrounds. I was showing it off to anyone that would look. Finally I really like the case will locate the buds if need be. I really like these and I think I am going to stay with JBL from now on.

Bright sounding earbuds, with LOTS of bass, even without the greatest seal. I struggle to maintain a good seal in my ears, but the app offers a guide that helps. Noise cancelling is adequate, and the equalizer works well. The price is a bit high for earbuds without multipoint connectivity. I also have a set of Bose QC Ultra earbuds. The JBL offers more bass. The Bose has better cushions and noise cancelling and has slightly more volume.

I have never liked to go beyond the traditional, and I mean that if I have a Samsung phone, I like to have Samsung headphones, and if it's Apple, the same goes, but this time I took the risk of changing just out of curiosity and I really don't regret it, on the contrary, I think that these traditional brands have to innovate like JBL and other brands!! 100% recommended.

So far so good been testing these out since my other headphones stopped working and have been enjoy the experience so far, the most minor thing is that you have to be wary of the touch screen on the case itself but easily something you can protect with a case, all and all I do recommend these headphones for those who want a quality sound with extremely solid tech that are built pretty well

Controlling the earbuds via the case is clever, and I'm also pleased to have design options for the cover screen. My quibble is that Bluetooth has only permitted me to pair with my phone. I've tried several times and several different ways to pair with my personal and work laptops and can't. Online advice from several sources regarding the issue is to factory reset, but I would hate to risk losing the connection to my phone, too, and then need to exchange the earbuds. I'm keeping what I have because I mostly use them with my phone anyway.

I've had many a pair of earbuds, including Beats and Bose. These have the ability of Bose with a Beats like price. The best quality is the noise cancelling, I feel is better than the rest!

The item was really good, fitting was pretty nice for my ears, and even with the silicon tips didn't fall at all. The sound quality is nice, no mt the best thing you get, but there's certain sounds you can identify. The ANC is ok, in comparison with other earbuds I had before is ok, muffles a good amount of sounds for what it is. As always JBL provides a beautiful bass in comparison with other brands that I have tried before. The screen on the case is apljs that caught my attention at first, it was an interesting concept, but it had to sacrifaice size for the screen, it was a bit more difficult to carry it in my pocket due to the bulky design. Besides that it was very nice.

A very good pair of wireless earbuds, the comfortable fit and the good bass produced make for a great combination. Great sound quality. The screen on the case makes it easier to change your music and even the equalizer. The only downside i have noticed is the battery life, while the screen is a cool feature it definitely drains the battery from the case. The earbuds itself have a solid battery life, lasting a good bit of time after the case dies.
