Garbage features.

Sure . 9 days ago

Worst headphones I’ve used. I got them for free so no biggie, but I’ve had 10 dollar headphones that are better. Sound isn’t bad. Controls are what’s horrible. They randomly will pause music cause it moved in your ear. The touch sensitive control thought it was touched. Same on the other side. Music turned up to full blast on its own. Threw away right after this.

Better fit needed

SL9876 . 12 days ago

I have had these ear pods for about a week. Per previous reviews they are difficult to remove from the charging case and they are very loose in the ear. I have used all three earbuds provided and all three still very easily slip out of my ears. I would never use these while being out of my home, as I am certain I would lose them! The sound is great and since I intended to only use them while at home, I am pleased with the sound quality.

Not small enough

Vailskibum7 . 14 days ago

I have small ears and it keeps falling out! I put the smallest ear cap on! I wish they would’ve worked out!

Customer Support - 12 days ago

Thank you for your feedback about our JBL Vibe Beam. To achieve the best seal and secure fit, you must create a tight seal within your ear canal. To do this, angle the ear tip slightly downward to make it easier to insert into your ear canal, gently twist the earbud to fit it securely into the shape of your ear, and continue twisting the earbud into your ear canal. If you need further assistance, please contact our customer support directly: https://support.jbl.com/us/en

Not great for gym use

Sweaty 22 . 16 days ago

I bought these for use at the gym and they are not working out very well. The sound quay is vey good but they will not stay in your ear once you start sweating. I have tried various size tips but to no avail. After 20 minutes or so they start feeling loose and then will drop out. I almost lost one for good under the treadmill. I would not recommend them for use in an athletic situation.

Customer Support - 15 days ago

Thanks for your feedback. Our JBL Vibe Beam isn’t designed for intense workouts or heavy sweating, which can affect how well it stays in place. If you're looking for a headphone that is specifically designed to be sweat-resistant and has features that help it stay securely in place, you might want to consider our in-ear JBL Endurance series, which is designed for sports use. If you need further assistance, please contact us.

Stopped Charging

Rmaner . 1 month ago

Started off happy with them but after about 6 months neither of the earbuds will charge. Would not recommend!

Customer Support - 29 days ago

Thanks for your feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve. For our JBL Vibe Beam, we recommend cleaning the contact pins on the case and earbuds using a cotton swab with alcohol. These pins are sensitive to dust. Please ensure the pins are dried before placing them back on the case. If the issue still persists, please contact our customer support.

Still using product, but I am sure there is better

FecalDeGallo . 1 month ago

They work for the most part. I have been using the right one almost daily for a year. The left one is quieter than the right one, and I have seen another review on this site saying the same thing, so that makes me think this is a common-ish problem. When the battery gets low there is a voice that says "BATTERY IS LOW" and it is SO LOUD. I have asked support if this low battery warning can be made quieter and they said there is no way to make the warning quieter. Scares me every time it yells in my ear "BATTERY IS LOW". Would have looked at different options if I knew the left one wouldnt work as well as the right, and if I knew about the deafening low battery warning

Customer Support - 1 month ago

We appreciate your feedback. We're here to help. The low battery notification is a fixed, unadjustable setting. This is a safety feature designed to protect battery health by preventing full depletion. Regarding the reduced volume in the left earbud, please verify the audio balance settings. This control allows you to adjust the relative volume of each earbud. Make sure the left/right balance is set to the center or default position. You can typically access this setting in the playback or equalization (EQ) settings of your music player app, or alternatively, in the JBL Headphones app. For further assistance, please contact us.

Do not buy these headphones

Seabass15 . 1 month ago

I’ve had these headphones for about three months and they’re the worst I’ve ever owned. It says 32 hours of battery life but that’s a blatant lie. Even when disconnected and turned off, the battery in the charging box is constantly draining, and when the charging box dies it turns on the headphones so they die as well. You have to charge them every night, don’t waste your money and go buy better headphones.

Customer Support - 1 month ago

Thanks for your feedback. It is possible that the battery of your JBL Vibe Beam is losing its capacity, which may be the reason it depletes without being used. We would like to work with you directly to address the issue. Please contact us.

Sounds great! Fits poorly

MickOK87 . 2 months ago

I wish these fit better. I've tried all the different fit adapters and the left ear keeps popping out. They sound great but with the left ear continuing to pop out the days coming where it will drop into a place I can't get them out of. An ear hook adapter would be handy.

Customer Support - 2 months ago

Thanks for sending us your feedback. When wearing the headphones, you will need to gently twist the earbuds for a secure fit while wearing them. If you're looking for headphones with an ear hook design, you can check our JBL Endurance Peak 3.

They are great but......

TMFC . 2 months ago

The sound is just fine, the look and feel is great. I find them very comfortable to use for extended periods of time. The only issue I have with the design is removing the buds from the case. They are extremely annoying to remove.

Disappointed

sim_j36 . 4 months ago

Easily one of the worst pair of earbuds I've ever owned. I got them less than a year ago and it has been non-stop issues with them. First: I couldn't get the gel tip off to put one of the other sizes on so I just got used to the discomfort. Second: The sound kept getting quieter and quieter. Now, I have to turn them all the way up just to hear my music at all. Third: The charging on the case is spotty at best. The earbuds will be in the case and disconnected from the case charger. This will have my phone disconnect from my car bluetooth or automatically connect to the earbuds when I'm trying to listen to music out loud. When I try to reconnect my phone to whatever device I was listening to, the earbuds will just override that again when they disconnect from the charger. This makes me have to go into my phone's settings just to unpair the earbuds from my phone for a couple of hours. Additionally, due to the spotty charging, they're rarely fully charged and I have to blow in the charging hole every five minutes to get them to connect to the charger for any period of time. They're never immediately available when I would like to use them. I really never leave bad reviews and have loved all other JBL products I've ever owned, but dealing with these issues over the past 11 months finally got to me.

Customer Support - 4 months ago

Thanks for your feedback. We're here to help with your JBL Vibe Beam. We recommend cleaning the contact pins on the case and earbuds using a cotton swab with alcohol. Charging issues are frequently caused by foreign matter on the metal charging contacts. This can include sweat, grease, ear wax, etc. Please ensure the pins are dried before placing them back in the case. To remove the ear tips, please try twisting it. To give you the best audio response, you must create a tight seal within your ear canal. To do this, angle the ear tip slightly downward to make it easier to insert into your ear canal, gently twist the earbud to fit it securely into the shape of your ear, and continue twisting the earbud into your ear canal to achieve the best seal and secure fit.

Thanks for reaching out. It is possible to change the standby mode time with your JBL Vibe Beam. To do this, go into the My JBL Headphones app and choose the Standby Time via Auto-off function. You can adjust the time to 15 minutes, 1 hour, etc., or you can choose “Never” if you want to keep the earbuds turned on at all times. Once you set the Auto-off, the earbuds will work according to the setting whether they connect to Bluetooth or disconnect.

Does the JBL vibe beam have multipoint connectivity?

While this specific model does not offer that feature, I want to assure you there are still many great benefits to these earbuds.
