    Great sound and fit but sometimes they turn on in the case but they usually turn off pretty quickly or you can go to the app and do it from there

    Great headphones! Sound quality is amazing ! Plus really like how you have the option to adjust headphones either through app or screen on the case. Battery life as well is great, fast charging. Definitely worth the purchase !

    These ear buds not only sound great but I like the features it come with along with being able to control them from the app. Good equalizer. This is the second pair of JBL ear buds I've purchased. The first pair was great too, but less expensive but didn't have as many features, I'm glad I spent the money.

    After my disappointed experience with the new galaxy bud3 pro i wanted something different so JBL live bud 3 popped up in my search. After watching a great yt review from Flossy Carter i was sold. Now that i have them i can say that the sound is pure JBL these buds blows the doors off the galaxy bud3 pro. The noise cancellion does a much better job than the bud3 pro (although it didn't help that i could not get a good seal in my left ear with any of the tips). When working i only use one and the sound quality suffers in mono mode with the bud 3 but not the JBL live buds 3 the sound is just as incredible the bass rumbles and the symbols are nice and crisp. In ear comfort is great and i don't feel them wanting to fall out like the galaxy bud3 pro did because the beam makes them so bottom heavy. As for the case i find the screen extremely useful when connected to something without audio controls like a tv or pc making it a breeze to connect to different devices. Overall I'm extremely happy and selling my buds3 pro to someone that could enjoy them more will have paid for these.

    Okay sound and gimmicky option to buds. I got to see if worth the price and no. Did not like the sound and was way too muddy for my daily listening. At first i thought the mini screen was good but found was completely useless for eveyday applications. There are better options out there for audio services. These do not work for me.

    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.

    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 buy a lot of headphones. I probably spend more on them than on my tablets and phones. Unfortunately, these headphones were a disappointment. The sound was fine, but not exceptional (not as loud as my Air Pods), the touch function too sensitive, and the case was flimsy, notwithstanding the unusual touch screen functionality, which is more of gimmick than a useful function. I returned it to Best Buy after 10 days when the charging case just stopped taking a charge (unless you held the plug just right). FORTUNATELY, Best Buy gave me a no-questions asked refund. I will probably use my refunded rewards points to buy Sony or the new Air Pod Pro 3s, as I'm not taking another chance on JBL's headphone products.
