Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the excellent sound quality, comfortable fit, and good battery life. They also appreciate the overall comfort and the design of the charging case. However, customers are negative about connectivity issues, and some find the volume to be lower than expected. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is also considered subpar by some users.

    Outstanding Sound, Comfort, and Battery Life

    I’m extremely impressed with the JBL Live 3 headphones. The sound quality is clear and powerful, with deep bass that doesn’t overpower the mids or highs, making them great for music, videos, and calls. The noise cancellation works very well and really helps block out background noise when I’m on the go. They’re also very comfortable to wear for long periods, and the battery life easily lasts all day without needing a recharge. Overall, these feel premium, perform flawlessly, and are absolutely worth the price. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality headphones.

    JBL Live Buds 3

    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.

    So far, I am amazed with these JBL Live Buds 3! Had it about 3 months and so far the sound quality feels nice and crispy. Good amount base in it as well. The comfort fits me perfectly and never slide out! Especially when I'm at the gym and going for a run. The ambient noise is for me is really great! Call wise, not too bad and from other people to hear me at a loud place, is great. In other meaning, they hear me just fine and I hear them fine as well. I too have the Galaxy Buds 3 pro and those are awesome BUT, the only issue for me is the FITTING in my left ear. After putting it on and having it on about 30 mins, it tends to move a bit and sometimes i have to realign to get it secured fit. Especially when I'm working out. I tried different tips but its a no go. Which is why the JBL-Live Buds 3 True Wireless Noise Cancelation, I have no issue with it. Battery life are great so far and it charge up real quick. Only sour grape i have for JBL is the screen charging case, dies out couple of charge of the earbuds. Sometimes, even though I don't use it features, I wish there was an option I can turn it off and use it only to charge my earbuds only. In which more battery life it has.

    What I really love about these are the sleek design and slim stems. They fit perfectly in my ear canal and I forget they’re even there. The sound quality is an experience, especially the Spatial Audio. My only gripe is the ANC is a bit subpar but the EQ customization makes up for it. The screen case definitely comes in handy when using the buds with a laptop or TV. I’m an avid JBL consumer and they knocked it out the park again with this one!

    One of the few earbuds that still don't have stems. Sound is just as good as the JBL Tour Pro 3 but fit is so much better!

    Honestly, stay away. Sound quality is good like most jbl products. Everything else is horrible. Anc turns on by itself, whenever it wants to, despite me purposefully turning it off repeatedly on the app, and on the case. There is no way to turn this case, or the earbuds, off. Half the time the case was extremely low battery when they had just been charged recently. To add to not being able to completely turn off either earbuds/case, for some reason the bluetooth on these think theyre allowed to have priority over everything else, even when 'everything else' is connected and playing. These things will randomly decide they want to kick your current receiving device off and hog your connection, to just simply sit there and be connected. Computer connected to another device? Kicked off by these. Car connected to my phone to let music play? Nah, car kicked off so these can force a connection, just to sit in a backpack. The fun thing is that nobody even so much as looked at them, and theyre hijacking source connections. To the point where any time they were used, they had to be deleted from anything they were connected to, to prevent them from randomly connecting for no reason. The amount of times I've had to reconnect my phone to my vehicle because of these things is probably a world record. Ive had tons of wireless earbuds, and these Live Buds have had more problems than all of them combined. Whats worse is Best Buy has unrealistic return windows that rendered these non-returnable despite being massively defective. Customer service made an appointment with their Geek Squad to have them looked at, and had me drive 40 miles 1 way to a store, because I honestly wanted them repaired for the sound quality, just for them to tell me they can't do anything and I need to contact the manufacturer. Manufacturer replaced them, but I doubt I'm even going to open the packaging. They'll likely go on ebay at a loss. Made the decision to replace these with GalaxyBuds3Pro before the replacement was delivered, which both arrived on the same day. Save yourself $100, higher end Anker and Skullcandy earbuds will sound the exact same with Kiwiears tips and a decent equalizer setting, without any of the nonsense.

    I’ve had these headphones for almost a year now, and for the price they’ve been pretty good, but every now and then I do have some connectivity issues, but it seems to be at random. I’d say they’re worth it if you’re looking for something a little cheaper than airpods but still want quality sound!

    These little ear buds are fantastic! The case is pretty cool and functional with changing volume‚ setting the sound stage‚ and changing music along with other features. The charge lasts a while and is perfect for when I'm out and about. Excellent sound quality from these earbuds. I highly recommend them.

    I recently purchased a pair of JBL earbuds, and I am extremely impressed with their performance. The sound quality is crystal clear, with deep bass and crisp highs. The earbuds fit comfortably and securely in my ears, even during vigorous exercise. I also appreciate the long battery life, which allows me to use them for several hours without needing to recharge. Overall, these earbuds have exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend them to anyone in search of a premium audio experience.

    I'm not going to lie, I got this because of the touch screen case and the fact that Samsung owned JBL since 2017 so I thought there would be features that wasn't listed but I digress. The JBL app features are nice and the bass is great. I haven't used some of the other features JBL offered but I will over time. I have been having issue with the auto pause when removing the earbud. I've had many occasions when i paused it or just removed the bud and put it back in my ear just to realize it either started playing by itself or never paused at all.

    Excellent sound. I feel comfortable using it while working out. It doesnt fall and the screen in the charger makes it look fancy. Also i dont use the screen that much, the earbuds it self gives you shortcuts that you need.

    JBL Noise Canceling Earbuds

    I have hearing loss and I am super impressed with the quality of these earbuds. Even though they don't amplify the same way OTC hearing aids do, I am a residential contractor and use the noise canceling feature when I'm using power tools or hammering on metalwork and am shocked at how well they cancel the noise but also will still allow me to hear conversations or they seem to pick up on voices when people are talking. I normally use ear plugs but not any more. I use the noise canceling and play music over top of them and hardly hear anything! I also like how they will automatically, to some degree, cancel out loud noises on their own even when you have them on the "ambient aware" setting. Have also been told by callers that they can hear me really well with little background noise even in loud spaces. Also the battery life is very impressive on one charge. Overall, one of the best investments I've made. Would definitely recommend for the money you invest.

    This buds are very comfortable and the case is very useful. The sound is great specially if you have an Android so you can take advantage of the LDAC and you need a HI-DEF streaming music service to take full advantage. Phone calls are great with them and very good battery.
