    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.

    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.

    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.

    Ive been using these for a good few weeks now, and I find it hard to think of anything wrong with them. The sound is great, the ANC is great, call quality is great, and the fit is great. The only complaint I have, is that the case likes to turn itself on and change settings while in a pocket. Was wondering why my ANC would turn on and of, music pausing on its own, etc. I would have dropped a star off if there wasnt an option to only have the screen turn on when opened, which solved the issue entirely.

    These buds are way better than airpods

    I thought that Apple airpods are the only thing that would pair properly to my iphone. I also always wanted the JBL earbuds for a while and it did not disappoint. The sound quality, the bass, the functionality of the screen on the case are all super smooth and nice quality. The equalizer works pretty nice too. Noise cancellation is on point too. The only useless thing is the flashlight function on the case. It reminds me of the flashlight on the older ipod touch's that just illuminates the screen and does no actual shining. But being able to see the battery percentage for each individual earbud and the case is really useful. I also enjoy that I don't need to take my phone out to use the music control and pick up phone calls. The haptic sensors on the earbuds also works flawlessly. They are, however, very sensitive to the touch, so I am still getting used to that. Another feature that I like way better than the airpods is the ear connectivity. If I am out of range from my phone and I come back closer, the earbud would connect back to my phone and tell me it's connected and continue my music. Where as for airpods, sometimes it wouldn't connect back or I would need to reconnect it myself for the music to play again. The overall rating I will give to the earbuds would be 10/10 just because how amazing it is compared to the airpods.

    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.

    Recently purchased these ear buds and quite impressed with them. Coming from the Sony Wf 1000 xm4 ear buds, I personally prefer the sound stage of these. The sound stange is much more bass forward which i prefer. The anc isn't quite as good as those but they are also $100 dollars cheaper. In terms of comfort i also find these far more comfortable. I had thought the case screen would be gimmicky but i actually find it quite useful when sitting at my work desk. I can conrol things without looking at my phone and getting distracted. Honestly think of a smart watch without all tbe health features. Overall very satisfied with my purchase.

    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.

    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.

    The Bass

    The bass of these earbuds are really good, and you can feel the music. Also the only thing is that at times it will switch on its own talk through if it hears voice or something and then the music is very low, but it only sucks when you have one earbuds on since you can swap back to ambient noise or ANC with out pulling out the app

    Great Buds, Minor Issues

    Another fantastic product put out by JBL. Audio quality and bass are as you would expect. I love bass in my music, and these buds do not disappoint. Calls come in clear and crisp, and I have not received any negative feedback from the receiving end of a call. The adaptive noise canceling is a cool feature, but it definitely needs a bit of work as it is very inconsistent. For those unaware of what adaptive noise canceling is, it muffles the incoming sounds that could potentially hurt your ears similar to electronic earmuffs. As for my issue that took a star, I constantly have issues getting the left earbud to connect to the case when it is put up. This causes the earbud to not become fully charged and/or properly connect to my phone. This is a similar issue I had with previous Tune Buds that made me try these new buds out.

    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!

    These earbuds sound amazing! They are easy to operate. They sound as if you are in a concert hall. They pair well with the android Samsung galaxy phones. They are a very comfortable fit in the ear. we came from an over the ear headphones to these and we were concerned that we would loose quality sound, but just the opposite we gained much better quality sound. These earbuds are quality at a very reasonable price. Thanks to best Buy for carrying such a fantastic product.
