    Jsut got these on sale, half the price! 50 bucks for these is a steal I feel. Have used them for 1 day and I am in love. They fit nice and snug in my ears, they have great sound and the bass is very nice! I definitely recommend these especially for 50 bucks! Even at 100 bucks these are still a good buy in my opinion. The 40 hr life I can't vouch for but that's awesome if true and so far the noise canceling works great.

    Small but mighty wireless buds

    Great lightweight buds with solid bass and long-lasting. I have small ears with conch piercings that made other wireless buds not fit (and fall out), but not these. I turn the earbuds down a bit toward the shoulder for a more comfortable fit and seal in the silicone ear tips into my ear canal. It took a little bit of time to figure out the controls; for instance, tapping the right bud once to play/pause content, twice to skip forward, and thrice to skip back. You can also set your voice assistant to the tap controls on one of the earbuds. That way, you don’t have to pull your phone out of your pocket to access it. This makes for a handy feature when you’re commuting or exercising. Overall very happy and can't beat the price. Well done JBL!

    I bought this earpiece during Black Friday sale 50% off, it was a really good deal. I wasn't sure if I would like it but I decided to try it so far it has really long battery life and you can wear it all day it's really comfortable and they don't fall out of your ears.

    These ear buds will impress you. I got them to replace a different set of jbls that were introduced to the mower blades. Needed a good set with nc. These fit the bill and now i use them twice as much as my galaxy buds.

    Out of the box the sound profile is actually really good, especially for getting these for $50 on sale at Best Buy. Sound: Sound is a subjective topic based on the listeners ears, how well they can hear certain frequencies, and what feeling they are going for. I come from a background of car stereo competition (both clarity and bass) and audiophile grade home speakers. I listen to everything from Trance, Dance, Ambient, R&B, Country, to Rock and Metal and everything in-between. Moving forward, I am not going to compare the JBLs to super high end $2,500 over the ear wired types, but rather stick to practical average listener comparisons. The JBL 235NC's have solid bass, maybe even a little on the boomy side, but it does not take away from, or muddy, the sound stage. Highs, mids, and, vocal levels and placement are solid and can compete with all the $300 ear buds out there. I own, and have owned, many other ear buds so I will use a few to make a good comparison. For example, the JBLs have much cleaner bass than the Bose QuietComforts, and the JBLs have a flatter highs section, the rest of the sound is similar. The Sony WF-1000XM4s and 1000XM5s are a notch above on all levels as far as sound goes, but they also cost $250 more. So I would say if the Sony's were a 9 then the JBL 235NCs would be about an 8. The JBLs are more on par with the AirPod Pro 2s, with the JBLs having a slightly lower sound stage placement compared to the AirPod Pro 2s. The JBLs have a better open spatial sound to them compared to the Sennheiser CX Plus and better bass quality as well. Although the Sennheiser bass is more punchy. Keep in mind like the Sony's etc, the JBLs do have an app to control the EQ settings to your liking. I would not push the bass too far due to the smaller driver compared to some of the other fore mentioned models. Fit & Comfort to Wear: These fit so much better than any of the above mentioned ear buds. Can be worn for hours with no ear soreness or itching. Controls: The controls are exactly like the Sony's. Left ear bud has 2 levels of noise cancelling and an off setting. the right ear bud is 1 tap to pause, 2 taps to move to the next song, 3 taps to go back a song. Audible confirmation tones for both earbuds. Talking & Calls: Have not talked much on these yet to really rate them in that category. Final Thoughts: For the average music lover the JBLs have a good sound and try to provide the best of all worlds in a small comfortable package. Note: Some European reviews put these at 1.5 stars out of 5 due to the customer service and failures just out of warranty. I personally cannot confirm these issues, but it is worth noting. However, for $50 (on sale) I can buy 6 of these for the price of some of the others.

    These were my first JBL earbuds, so i wasn't sure what to expect. I currently use the samsung galaxy buds2 pro earbuds and i wasnt expecting these to be as good, but they actually are just as good! The bass on these is great, as is the overall sound! Fitment is subjective but these fit very securely in my ears and feel very comfy. ANC works great, it blocked out all the noise from a very busy gym visit! I got these on sale, but honestly they are even worth buying at the full MSRP!

    These earbuds sound great. Bass is heavy but smooth and the mid's and high's don't get shrilly. Noise cancelling is ok. I usually use them in the talk through/transparency mode and they work as expected for that. Haven't had any trouble with the fit or with them falling out. Comfortable enough for me to wear 5-6 hours at a time.

    Goodbye Airpods

    These are top tier. I have had Airpod Pros, Jabra earbuds and have tried out many others. These blow each single one of them out of the water. The noise cancellation is amazing. I don't even wear ear plugs at work anymore. I just pop these babies on (at my own risk). The battery life is amazing I charge them once a week. The thing I liked most is that they stay in your ear. My Airpods were constantly slipping out because of the terrible design and poor quality silicone bud. JBL earbuds fit snuggly and I go on runs without worry now. my ears start to get a little sore after an hour or two normally but, not with these. I'll have these on for hours and won't feel a thing. Now the biggest factor, I bought these for $50 on sale! I loved them so much I bought a second pair for $80. For the price you pay you honestly cannot get any better than these earbuds. Even price aside these keep up with higher end buds as well.

    This is my second pair. The battery in the original pair died after a year and a half. The sound quality and noise canceling works great during flights. Battery life is good for long flights. The case recharges quickly. I am not an audiophile but find that they sound pleasant. The phone app allows you to set a custom the playback profile in addition to the preset ones. It comes with three different tips for different ear profiles.

    Great sound from these earbuds! I have had several JBL earbuds over the years and this is my favorite pair. I keep them at the office so when I get distracted by the chatter and I need to block it out to concentrate on my work, they are amazing! They keep a long charge and fit in my ears perfectly! I highly recommend them and am sure you will love them as much as I do.

    Use: Desk work & outdoor walking. I use these headphones 7 days a week. Battery life is never an issue during 8 hour work days as I place the headphones in the case to charge during meetings which might be 1 hr a day or so. I charge the case every 3-4 days, but I could go 4-5. They stay in my ears very well. I have some aftermarket ear inserts but I haven't found the need for them as these are comfy and stay secure during dog walks. They look like the Vader version of the other brand white ones at 1/3 the cost. Connection with the phone is top notch. The range is the best of any Bluetooth device I've ever used. They sound fantastic with music or podcasts. The noise cancelling is perfect for my open office. I have zero complaints. I bought them on sale, and you should too - but even at full price they are worth it.
