    Great buds with flaws

    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.

    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'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!

    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.

    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.

    I love JBL. Have never truly dispointef me other than their Xtreme series of bluetooth speakers. One thing abojt them is they can tend to price gouge for the pure fact they afe well known. Not in their earbuds or headphones. These are awesome and they have a pretty cool case. Ive tried alot of earbuds and id put these in the good teir. They could be improved like anhthing could be. But they fit great. Have great subbass, and their ANC is good enough to get the job done.

    I really want to like these. I’m a fan of JBL. But I couldn’t get a good seal, no matter what earbud tips I tried. These buds are comfortable and sound awesome. They just didn’t fit my ears right.

    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.

    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.

    I spent less on a pair of AirPods Pro and fully expected these to be worse than them. JBL makes a way better pair of earbuds than Apple does! The sound quality is way better, and battery life is about equal. The only thing I don't like is that you can't carry the case in your pocket because the screen is very sensitive to touch. Otherwise its a great purchase!

    These headphones have exceeded my expectations, although for the price of course they are worth it. The sound is clear and powerful, with deep bass and defined treble. The construction quality is very robust, which gives me confidence in its durability. After using them for several months, I am still impressed with their consistent performance. It's worth every penny, especially if you're looking for something durable and high quality!!!

    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.
