JBL LIVE FREE NC+ TWS

I'm happy to say that these are and excellent pair of TWS earbuds. I've had my pair for a few months now and can write a review about my experiences with them. Sure there's some draw backs but there's only a few. So first I'll start with the negatives and move to the positives. The negatives are that you can't have touch controls with the ambient/noise canceling mode and volume at the same time. You need to pick which you wanna prioritize. The second negative is when you have these earbuds set to better audio quality the BT range gets shortened up allot. Maybe a firmware update can fix this. On to the positives, these earbuds are super comfortable and I can actually wear them until the battery dies! They don't stick into my ears like other tws earbuds do and they also have soft yet small stabilizers that make these earbuds stay put in my ears. The touch controls aren't overly sensitive which is great, they only respond if your touch the absolute middle of the earbud. The BT range when using the standard audio mode is basically like my other pairs of BT earbuds which is about 30 feet or so. The call quality is excellent! People can hear me no problem what so ever! The ambient mode is also very clear but has a white noise which my other pairs of TWS earbuds also have. However if you use these with say an air compressor you absolutely have to turn either NC or ambient mode OFF! the noise will come right through the mics and won't be pleasant. The battery life is as advertised, like I said I can wear these until the battery dies so they'll basically last me just about 8 hours at work. The Audio quality is really where these shine! They just sound great! JBL has really been knocking their newer products out of the water lately and these are no exception! The sound stage is really wide, the mids highs and lows are super clear and clean, plus with the app you can really adjust these! And they respond very well. The charging case is also super small which I love, it just fits into my pockets easily. As for the app itself JBL has done allot to improve it over the years. It's come a long way and really complements these earbuds well. Right off the bat when I got these there was a firmware update which improved the overall pairing speed and response of these earbuds. You can customize the controls, audio signal and play around with the noise canceling. There's also a locator in case you miss place your earbuds but sadly no gps locator. As for the ANC it works really well, however when playing around with the slider the ANC doesn't work the way you think it does. Moving the slider to the right doesn't drown out all the background noises. What you have to do is play around with the slider and basically adjust it to suit whatever noise you want to decrease or eliminate. So basically your focusing the ANC to work with a specific frequency range. The ANC on these is very effective but you need to know how to use it otherwise you might think it's not working or not effective. It definitely does work very well. Finally JBL added the ability to use the left or right independently! This should have been done from day one! But THANK YOU for finally adding this feature, the other nice thing is that ambient mode kicks in on the earbud that's still in your ear during mono mode. This make it feel more natural to have one earbud in. When both earbuds are in your media will stop playing when you take on side out which is another nice feature. So overall these earbuds are very well featured you're getting allot for the money here which I'm very happy about. I feel very good about my purchase and would buy another pair if I ever needed to in the future. JBL is on the right track with these earbuds so keep up the good work!
