JBL Live Pro 2 - True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds, up to 40 Hours of Playback with Wireless Charging, 6 mics for Perfect Calls, Touch & Voice Control, IPX5 Water Resistant (Black)

Amazing sound with high quality low-high drivers on these JBL's. Noise cancelling is best in class for these earbuds, and the pass-through mode for still hearing conversation with them in works very well.They last FOREVER. I work 12 hour shifts and can easily get through a shift with the bud in my right ear all day. Over my hour lunch break I put it back in the case and that charge is enough to get me through an entire day with no interruptions. In my experience the advertised 40 total hours of listening with the charging case is very accurate. I measured it at 38.5 hours with the volume set to about 80-85%. I'm sure you could easily get 40+ hours if using them at 50% volume.The charging case is great, feels very high quality. Charges wirelessly on a charging pad or with USBC input. Charges very quickly, roughly 1.5-2 hours for a full charge if you are charging them with a low volt charger as you are supposed to as not to damage the internal battery.*NOTE* please people, don't charge any of your earbuds of any brand with a 100 watt fast charger, you will damage the battery over time I promise.The JBL app is one of the best earbud companion apps I've used. It blows the BEATS app out of the water and is much better than the majority of its competition. You can change EQ, noise cancelling, and touch control programming quickly and easily.Speaking of touch controls, they are located on the stem of each bud and work very reliably in my experience. 1 tap for pause, 2 taps for skip ahead, 1 tap hold for voice assistant. 2 taps then hold on the 2nd tap for pairing mode. Haven't had any issues with accidental touches over the last 6+ months of using them every day.The sound profile is rich and deep, with these high quality drivers after Harmon kardon joined with JBL, they are much more well rounded than anything else in the 150 dollar range. Highs are crisp and satisfying and lows have a great little rumble without muddling the mids. Soundstage isnt too open like you get with some of the partial In ear designs but doesn't feel closed off and stuffy either. My father in law was an audio engineer in Hollywood for 40 years and worked for almost every major band under the sun as well as the Jimmy Kimmel show for many years, and when he tried these out on our last visit he was genuinely impressed. He is normally a Sony or Bose guy but expressed interest in buying a pair of these for around the house.As far as fitment goes, I go with the middle sized silicone tips and they work great for me. There are small, medium and large tips that come in the package. They are more comfortable than the beats I have and far more comfortable than my airpods pro. I can use them for 12 hours straight without ear fatigue. They are ported enough where they don't feel stuffy in my ears and don't make my ears itchy like most other buds do after only a couple of hours.Overall, I highly recommend these earbuds from JBL. They are the best value for money in this price range--bar none. I would take these all day everyday over my airpods pro and that's saying something as those are no slouch either. If you are on the fence about these, I'd advise you to just buy them and see for yourself. As someone who uses earbuds for 12 hours a day, 48 hours a week, these are my go-to buds and I've tried at least 20 other models from all the major brands.

I could Cry the Sound deadening as soon as the earbuds say "Connected" you feel silence just shoot through the room and everything around you hushes. I used the JBL GTOS for the sound system in my truck and i said man these speakers are so good i need to try their earbuds and if anyone is thinking of buying airpod Pros dont do it, they cannot compete with this. They are plastic and cheap quality, jbl focuses on Clearly driven sound with pure clarity and ambience. The company really does strive for pure sound quality at a fair prices and these are by far the better Earbud than apple. I used Gen 2 Pro airpods for a year and just after 10 minutes of listening to music they beat apple with volume, quality, deadening, material quality, hell they are water resistant which helps with me being outside and worrying about my mic being covered so people cannot hear me on call. Im so excited to use these this year i eventually want to get the Pro Tour 2s and give them a try Thank you jbl for literally killing it as you guys always do. I never write reviews but i just had to share this for anyone wondering about purchasing these. Also the charge time is faster than airpods and last longer. The bluetooth connectivity is rapid. The comfort is higher quality and doesnt make ur ears irritated.

EDIT: I've been using these for about 2 weeks now, 2-5 hours every weekday at work, primarily for cell phone call, calls on the Microsoft Teams app on my phone, and Teams on my PC (with a couple of Zoom calls thrown in).- The multipoint is flawless. I have yet to actually need to force the earbuds to switch devices (I think you do this with a single tap followed immediately by a long press on the right earbud, but I'm not sure), they just do it automatically. I can actually be on a Teams call on my PC, transfer the call to the Teams app on my phone, and the earbuds just switch: perfect.- When I'm on a call (two-way communication through the earbuds, not just one-way music) they use about 40% of the battery in 2 hours. This disappoints me a little, but reality is I'm never on the earbuds more than 3 hours straight, and they charge up so quickly when I put them in the case that it's just not an issue.ORIGINAL: I bought these specifically for office work: I wanted a pair of earbuds with multipoint (Teams and Zoom on a Windows PC and an Android phone, as well as phone calls), long battery life, good microphones, and comfortable. These fit the bill.- Clear and understandable microphone- Very good battery life: I've seen about 10% battery usage from 1hr of music playback at about 40% volume with ANC on, and about 15% from about 1hr on a phone call. They are also supposed to get 4 hours of playback from just 15 minutes of charging (pretty tough to test this), so if I run the earbud batteries low I can power them up again fast enough to be useful.- So far pretty seamless switching between my phone and laptop, but I've mostly left them in the case until I need them, so I haven't done enough testing of this feature- Very light and comfortable with minimal protrusion into my ear canal. At this point, I've worn them for up to about 3 hours straight with no issues.- The case is pretty small, very portable and pocketable.If you're primary usage is multiple hours of calls per day from 2 devices, just get these, you'll be pretty happy.For more general use:- Crystal clear sound, but little bass out-of-the-box. However, the equalizer in the JBL app is excellent: it starts with 10 bands (+/-6db) and lets you add, subtract and move bands around in frequency seeming however you want. And again, crystal clear: you can pump the bass significantly and it sounds very good. This is the best equalizer (both impact on sound quality and flexibility) of any bluetooth earbud app I have used.- The ANC is very good, if you get a very good seal with the eartips.- Ambient mode is good, but I never feel like ambient mode is good enough to carry on a normal conversation while I'm wearing both earbuds.- "Hear-through" mode drops the volume as well as turning on some version of the ambient mode; doesn't do much for me.- Auto-play/pause of the music when you remove an earbud from your ear and replace it in your ear is not so robust, it works maybe 75% of the time: sometimes it doesn't pause the music when I pull an earbud out of my ear, sometimes it doesn't restart the music when I reinsert the earbud.- These earbuds don't quite go deep enough in my ear canals to provide the very good ANC, or a very secure fit, and if I listen to music I will need to adjust them periodically (multiple times per hour) to keep the tips really "aimed" into my ear canals and preserve the audio quality. For my particular ears, I need 1-2mm deeper protrusion; if a little shallower works well for you, you might fall in love with the audio quality and ANC.Why these aren't 5 star for me:- Fundamentally, the not-quite deep enough fit, so they don't seal well enough and not move for extended periods. This is the big thing for me, but there are a few other nits.- In the app, you need to add ANC to the touch controls (so you can cycle through ANC, Ambient mode, and Hear-Through mode). The earbuds or the app sometimes seem to forget this has been enabled and then I don't have ANC, until I go back into the app and re-enable it. I haven't seen any consistency on this yet.- Touch controls are limited: three groups of controls are available (volume control, playback control, or ANC/Ambient control) and you can choose in the app to put one group of controls on each earbud, so you have to choose which group of controls you will not have.If these fit my ears just a little better, they would be my #1 pair of earbuds, period; without that, they are #1 for calls. My Sony WF-C500s are still #1 for extended music sessions, and these JBLs are kind of tied with my Wyze Buds Pros for #1 for music with ANC.
