I bought this a couple weeks ago and I'm not really sure if it's living up to the hype of earbud headphones. The sound is ok, sometimes sounds like a tin can and they fall out all the time. At this point, it seems as well that the battery runs through quickly. I work a six hour shift per se and the battery is down to about 30%. Charged daily. I own the JBL Charge 5 portable speaker and LOVE IT! But I need headphones at work.

Customer Support - 12 days ago

Thanks for your feedback. For your JBL Vibe Beam 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. It is best to try this with all of the provided eartip sizes until you find the one that accomplishes this most easily. As for the battery issue. It is possible that it is losing its capacity. However, it is also possible that the battery is working correctly but depletes more quickly when the volume is very loud and/or the bass has been boosted. Please try to charge the battery to 100% and then listen to music without any bass boosted, and at a very low volume. If the battery lasts close to the published up-to-playtime, the battery is working fine. However, if you get less than 90% of the published spec, this likely means that the battery is losing its capacity. For further assistance, please contact us.

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 . 1 month 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 great for gym use

Sweaty 22 . 1 month 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 - 1 month 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 - 1 month 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 . 2 months 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 - 2 months 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 . 2 months 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 - 2 months 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.

Does the JBL vibe beam have multipoint connectivity?

Answer from Customer Support1 year

Thanks for your question. Our JBL Vibe Beam doesn't have multipoint connectivity for seamless switching between devices. While this specific model does not offer that feature, I want to assure you there are still many great benefits to these earbuds. If you want to purchase a product that has a multipoint connectivity feature, you may try to check out our official website for a variety of excellent in-ear headphones that we have.
