JBL Live Free NC+ True Wireless In-Ear Noise-Cancelling Headphones

I bought this item during christmas im so happy with everything about them.

I bought it as a gift to my brother, and he is loving it! The earbud is really lightweight and powerful. The noise canceling is pretty accurate.

Received headphones a few days ago and found the noise cancelling feature does not work. Looking to return them.

Great sound quality... Small enough equipment enclosed for my teenagers'ears

We got an JBL EXTREME 2 speaker and was so impressed with it though is get s me headphones and didn't disappoint!

Very disappointed and upset at the quality of these earphones- not worth the price at all. I spent so much time researching and picking them out and had read a lot of positive reviews. I don't know if there's something wrong with mine I purchased them right off the site but my experience is completely different. The Bluetooth connection is very flaky, the earbuds lose connection and turn off randomly, the noise-canceling is virtually non-existent and the app is not easy to use. So shocked and upset at their quality.

I bought this before couple of weeks, the product is amazing for listening to music and the features are really good. Trustable product but there is a small problem while making audio call through the headphones, the opposite person on call can't hear my voice, because the headphones letting more outdoor noise of my surroundings even a slow wind. So the opposite person can't hear my voice anymore. The reason is noise cancellation is not proper in this headphones.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and very quickly realised the headphones had an issue. I contacted customer service and the situation was felt with very quickly and easily. Yes, the headphones didn't work properly but JBL were fantastic to deal with I definitely wouldn't hesitate to buy again

Bought these a couple of weeks ago now and really impressed. Great sound, a bit of fiddling with the EQ and the bass is perfect…they fit my ears perfectly and twist into the inner part of the outer ear to get a really snug fit - that’s when the sound really comes through. Controls are easy to work out and are configurable via the app. Like the way the phones are magnetised so they are sure to sit in their box perfectly.

Overall, they feel like great quality phones.
I bought these at sale price so really happy.

So far so good, sound nice and connect well with phone

Purchased this about a month ago and love them. Battery life says max 7 hr no anc but the really only last about 5 with anc on. Other than that great sound and would highly recommend.

I'm not writing a bad review on these headphones because the truth is that they are awesome, light weight, and work really well through Bluetooth from a fair distance but.... I read reviews where people said "jbl pure bass" is the same as "jbl signature sound" I promise you IT ISN'T. I love bass, always have even in my cars with subs. But these are not bass material. I had some other jbls before I bought these and those other ones said "pure bass" I trusted the comments and got these that don't say "pure bass" and I couldn't be more disappointed with my purchase. I turned my bass on the equalizer all the way up and ZERO BASS compared to my first JBL purchase. Quality sound these are good, not bass material at all though

I bought this couple of days ago, it pairs with my tablet but there is no sound, only lets me play/pause and adjust volume.

I keep starting the music but 10-15 seconds in the music faces out and stops playing, but before I've had these buds for a couple months and they work perfectly fine no hassles.

This is the first time I have wireless earbuds. I have slightly smaller ears than the next woman. My biggest issue is, it's hard to get them to stay in my ears without falling out. This is with all the adjustments of changing the cups and the ring thing. Thus I'm not getting the full effect of the sound quality and features (noise cancelling, etc.) of the bud. I do like the feature of only wearing one bud and having the functionality. I frequently only wear one for safety while running and other places.
If I could get them to stay in my ear on a consistent basis, they would probably be awesome!

I bought these for my daughter. She really likes them, sound and control features right on the devices themselves. I am still waiting to hear my daughter's comments on active noise cancellation feature.

Absolutely fantastic the sound is very very good….

Nobody wanted to help you useless customer service still haven’t my money back from retiring products wil never use again . Agents extremely rude abd no help

I bought these a few weeks ago. The sound quality and noise canceling are great, as advertised. However, no matter what combination of sizes I use, they simply will not stay put. I am planning to return them this week and exchange for a model with the more traditional earbud shape.

I bought these to use for work as my apple EarPods didn’t work with my laptop and read the reviews for these and they were good.
Great sound, good noise cancellation and fit so well. I would say they are better that apple EarPods

I buy as a gift ro my wife's and so impressive with the quality and sound the I get one for me to great earbud 100% recommend

It is super confusing to figure out how to adjust the volume and sound. I will have to call JBL for support.

Haven’t bought ear buds in some 7 years and these are pretty amazing with what they can do. I fell I love instantly with them the only problem is they don’t fit comfortably in my ear. They are on the big side so I bought a pair that looks smaller let’s hope for the best

I've had these earbuds for 3 weeks I am very impressed with the sound quality. They can get loud and love the fact you can customize the sound with their app. The noise canceling its decent but sound is still amazing. These are good for the gym they don't fall out that easy. I was so impressed by the sound I even picked up the JBL 950NC headphones.

I like them but not as much as the over the ear headphones. Good quality NICE sound but also too big for my ears

Theses are excellent sounding buds with a solid bass. However, the functions such as raising or lowering the volume are the worst. Skipping tracks also is hit or miss. If it wasn’t for these shortcomings they would easily be five stars.

I bought these about a week or two ago and I’m honestly surprised, well each time I buy JBL’s I’m surprised, starting from the features all the way to bass, The noice cancellation cancels out amazingly, mines can cancel out the noise of a vacuum cleaner and the ambient sound is an even greater feature, I could be listening to music without the audio quality effect and talk to someone standing in about a 6 feet perimeter, now the audio quality is even as more terrific on them, Once you set the eq from the app to how you want it, It could sound as best as if the music was playing right beside you. Im more of a bass person and that on these are just my fit.The only flaw about these is the circle silicones, They only come in 2 sizes (small & large and both of them struggle to fit, the small one falls out too easily and the large one starts to hurt my ears after awhile. But either then that these are great buds and JBL buds all ways seem to surprise me

They do not stay in your ear at all no matter which size rubber you use. The single use and duel use feature does not work at all. You cannot change from single use back to duel even with what the directions say. They do not connect to my phone or even turn on unless I plug em into the wall charger first even thou they are fully charged. Resetting them does nothing. Following the guide to just get them to work properly does nothing either. Only good thing is the app, sound is good.

4 manuals, but I Cayuse them because I can’t figure out how to turn down the volume. The book said download the app, but I’m not using with my phone. I bought to use with the tv.

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!

I’ve been skeptical of these true wireless headphones for a while. I had an old pair of JBL sport headphones with the connecting wire, and loved them. Unfortunately, they met an unfortunate demise with a lawn mower…

I went back and forth between these and the new $249 air pod pros. Decided on JBL because of my past experiences with them, and I’ve never had a pair of apple headphones sit comfortably for any period of time.

Gotta say, these are amazing. Noise cancelling and talk through is great, and the sound quality is as good if not better than the JBL sport headphones I had previously. It’s all in what you expect. They’ll never sound quite as rich as dedicated over ear phones with 50mm drivers, but they are darn good for earbuds.

The only issue I had was using them with my PC. They connect, but will not register as an audio device no matter how I configure them.

I am using These in-ear-Headphones now for over 6 weeks. They fit well. The Sound is very good and they are confortable. Much better than any ones I ever had bought before.

I was chosen to test these buds for some weeks.
When i had the box in my hands the first time, I really liked the packaging. It's designed nice and in a high quality.
The more I was disappointed when I tried them in my ears the first time. The sound was not as I imagined it to be. Bass was missing, and treble was too much. I tried some of the other sizes, but it didnt get better. The result was, that I didnt really use these buds during the testing time.

Anyways, the app is very good. The design is great, all features you need are included and found easily.

All in all: maybe it's just me, but i was kind of disappointed of the product, since I only had good experiences with JBL.

The headphones look very high quality. As usual from JBL, it is a experience to unpack the product! The accessories are top and everything is included. As soon as I used the headphones, my Samsung S10 asked if he should download the app. I found that very surprising and a great service. Gladly I would have heard the headphones to listen to music, but the bass was almost inaudible. No matter how deep I had the headphones in the ear. The bass was not comparable to my other in ear headphones. Unfortunately, I also didn't hear any difference after I adjusted the sound via the app. Only in the setting for voice there was a small difference. My ears are very small and even if I used the smallest rubber, my ears hurt a lot after 15 minutes. Even though making calls with the headphones is not the key function, I wanted to test the mic. I would not recommend to make phone calls with it maybe only in an emergency solution. On the other line, I could hardly be heard and the background noise was very strong. Now to the positive points: The supplied cable is very soft and nice. The case is very high quality and to make a connection between mobile phone and headphones is very easy. In addition, the background noise is very well suppressed. Unfortunately, the negative points were significantly more and therefore I will return the product.

So the packaging and presentation is pretty nice and feels like some effort was put into that.
The usb-c charging port is a plus but the included cable is so short, that the case is hanging in the air when charging it. You can still use your headphones while charging the case, which is pretty cool.
The magnetic closing mechanism on the case is strong, an the headphones themself also click in magnetically. No issues with that.
The form of the headphones took me some time to get used to, but the hold in the ear is good even when running or jumping.
Sound quality is fine for me but hard to describe.
Overall solid product, but a bit too expensive for the sound quality in my opinion.

I tested the headphones for a few weeks now. Unfortunately I didn't like the handling and features. They are too complicated and confusing. In my opinion they aren't made for working out or going for a run. During homeschooling they worked quite well.
The case they came in is nice and really functional. It assures to secure the buds safely.

I got the JBL live free nc+ tws for nearly three weeks now and I just can say, that I am amazed. I was kind of sceptical at the beginning if the battery would really last that long. All I can say is: they did not lie! I use these headphones nearly everyday for a good 3-4 hours and in three weeks I charged the case three times. the sound is also exceptionally good for wireless headphones and the noice cancellation does the job at its best.
I am really happy with these headphones and I can't go one day without them.

The fit is good and it takes some getting used to at the beginning, but after a short while you don't even notice that you have headphones in your ear. They hold well, do not press and do not fall out even when walking or moving faster. The connection with the smartphone is quick and easy as the installation is almost done automatically. Charging is quick and the battery lasts a long time. The matching transport box, which doubles as a charging station, is great. As soon as the box is opened, the pairing with the smartphone takes place. It's great that you can only use one pod if necessary. The sound is clear and of high quality, the bass is not overly harsh. Noise-cancelling works perfectly. You hardly hear any outside noise and you can concentrate fully on the music. The app works flawlessly and has a lot of options, from the key assignment, equaliser to the control of the ANC. The pods can also be easily and conveniently controlled via the app. It is a pity that it is not possible to switch it on or off manually.

First of all, the JBL Live Free NC+ are really fun and very very comfortable. I've used in-ear headphones in the past because I just find them super convenient.
The JBL Live Free are the best headphones I have ever owned. The sound is really top! I had to experiment a bit at first, however, with the supplied different rubber attachments. Although the headphones sat very well in the ear from the beginning, but the sound was only really good when I used a next size up. It is worth experimenting a bit here.
I am satisfied with the battery life, one charge is enough for a few hours, but it could of course be a bit longer. The charging case, which is very valuable and small, recharges the JBLs three times. I charge the case itself wirelessly with my QI charger. I am really glad that this modern charging solution was used.
The touch buttons respond surprisingly well and precisely. I have reconfigured them with the app for music control and ambient suppression. During sports I like to use them to listen to music, since they are waterproof, it can also rain sometimes. And due to the good fit, they also do not fall out of the ears. Anyone looking for good in-ears should take a look at the Live Free NC+.

I am very pleased with this product. I love the sound and it`s easy to readjust them without touching the sensor. I never felt they would fall out of my ears. This was important to me because of my activity level. The sound cancellation is impressive, I can enjoy the music in any environment no matter the noise. I had no problem connecting them to my phone, the battery life is very good and I like the design. The sensor can be a bit slow when changing the music. Overall I could recommend this product.

Jeg sliter ofte med å finne ørepropper som sitter godt på, men disse sitter veldig bra. De føles ikke for store, men kunne kanskje vært enda litt nettere. Øreproppene gir en veldig god lydopplevelse når man hører på musikk, og et kjempe pluss at man kan stille inn hvordan man ønsker lyden i appen. God batteritid og positivt at etuiet kan lades trådløst. Aktiv støydemping fungerer også veldig bra.

min beste venn når jeg går på ski og andre ute aktiviteter. Jeg klarer ikke helt og venne meg til og snakke i telefonen med de da jeg føler jeg roper. De er veldig støydempende.

I samarbeid med revidert club har jeg nå testet desse i 2 uker. Meget flott design og nett liten lade eske som er lett å ha med seg i lomma.
Proppene sitter litt dårlig i mine ører,og synes de er litt tunge,så blir ikke brukt mere enn 1 time før en må ha pause.
Helt greie propper som funker bra med appen, men passet desverre dårlig til mine ører.

Hei. I am testing this product and till now I am impressed. When its comes to headsets that are in ear I am very fuzzy about how they fit and that they dont fall out easily. When in use these in ear headphones are comfortable and fit well. It is very important that they are in the right position and must be adjusted manually to get the good deep bass sound. When in use anybody that is near you cant hear anything when these bud are in use.I have now used these for about a week and I am very impressed with the sound and bass.When it comes to quality and price these in ear bud its a very good deal. I highly recommend these and will buy a set for myself.

I have been using them fore a week and the sound is great and there perfect fore training. The only thing is that there a bit difficult to get into the ears fast. But athor than that I am super happy with them:-

The JBL website advertises that with these earbuds "you can easily customise your earbuds to get a perfect fit that'll stay in place during your hardest workout".

However my experience differs rather drastically..... After receiving the earbuds I tried all the ear tips and fins to find the best fit. I then went for a run and within 1/2 mile the left earbud fell out and went straight down a drain! For the rest of the run the right earbud was lose and had to be constantly adjusted.

These earbuds are not suitable for any form of exercise, so please do not by for this purpose.

Customer Service was poor - I explained the situation and expressed my concern that the product was not fit for purpose. They offered no help, did not know if a replacement earbud could be sourced and just gave the complaints email address.

Great headphones overall.
I have had different wireless headphones in the past and these stand up with the best of them. I use for different things such as running and work calls.
Very comfortable and feel secure and have extra sizing available to fit anyone easily. I am always conscious when running with new headphones about then falling out but these feel great and not obstructive or feel uncomfortable. The different sound modes are also great to hear traffic at night etc.
In regards to work calls the quality is good enough and colleagues have said microphone sound is good enough their end.
Overall sound quality is not the best I have had, however in terms of value for money they stand up very well.
Would recommend over others in the same price bracket.

I have had these a month or so now and overall they are good. I used to have Samsungs earbuds until I broke them, so they are what I was used to using.
They arrived and were really well packaged and looked super.
Set up was a bit clunky and took a while to master but I got there in the end.
Once I had sorted them there was no issue at all with connectivity and they were a dream to use.
The only issue I have with them is the size, they are quite big and a little heavy and whilst wearing them they fell out of my ear (I also found them slightly uncomfortable), I think this is due to the size and weight of them, I was exercising but that is what they were made for....right? other than that They had a good quality sound and kept charge really well.

These were expensive for me, so I really had to consider whether I bought them or not. Unfortunately, in hindsight I don't think they are really worth the money. Here are some reasons why:

1. They feel a bit cheap and plasticky.

2. They don't stay in my ears that well. Maybe that's just the shape of my ears, but it is a bit annoying.

3. I wouldn't consider the music quality that great. Some Youtube reviewers acted like JBL produces a fantastic sound - I'd say the sound is less good sound than the £50 soundcore wireless headphones I had previously used. And yes, that's the case even when I adjust the settings in the app.

4. They somewhat regularly disconnect from the phone for brief moments whilst using them. Also, I could walk around my house leaving my phone in one place with my last pair with no disconnection issues. These start to break up quite quickly if I don't bring my phone with me.

5. The noise cancellation is non-existent. As in, it does zero. I can't notice a single bit of difference when I activate the noise cancellation. This is the biggest disappointment, as this was the reason I spent the extra money on these, hoping it would help cancel out the background noise when working.

6. The other sound features are also worthless. I particularly thought the talk-through sounded useful, but it basically reduces the volume of the music down to a level that it may as well be off. Anytime someone has talked to me, and I've used it, I've had to skip the song backwards, because as I hadn't paused it, I'd just missed the song. I much prefer just hitting pause, speaking to whoever it is, and then resuming play. The ambient aware does basically nothing too. Fancy gimmicks that are not worth the additional money.

7. I've found I've had to recharge these more than any other wireless headphones I've had, even though these are much more expensive and claim to have better specs than my previous headphones.

8. The sound quality during phone calls has been mixed. The first phone call I had with them, my girlfriend said she could barely hear me, and I was just walking down a quiet street. The phone call I had yesterday, my friend said he could hear me fine. I expect more consistency from headphones with this price tag.

That said, there are some things I do like about these headphones, although I don't think they are particularly worth the price tag:

1. They connect very quickly to my phone, as they connect as soon as you open the box.

2. They have a USB-C, so I can charge them using my phone's charger (I couldn't do this with my older wireless headphones).

3. They are pretty customisable in terms of the controls (however, you can't have them do everything - you can, for example, control the volume with the left earbude OR you can use it to activate the ambient aware.... as far as I can tell it's not possible to have all the controls at your fingertips).

4. It is nice to be able to take either ear bud out and have it connect automatically, without having to have the other ear bud out.

5. They are completely waterproof. So far this hasn't been very useful, but I did break an old pair of non-waterproof wireless buds by dropping them in the sink previously, so it might be worthwhile in the long run.
