Live Free 2 TWS - Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Black | JBL Signature Sound, True Adaptive Noise Cancelling with Smart Ambient, 35 728 hours of playback with wireless charging

UPDATE: After a year I am updating to FIVE STARS. Worth every penny at $99. I’ve worn these every single day working in construction and use them at night to sleep. The battery did stop working after a year of heavy use. (When opening it, appears the neutral wire broke from the soldering but I’m not an electronics experts so that’s a guess). I must say I have dropped the case and buds maybe one hundred times if not more off ladders and stuff. So it took a hell of a beating. I worked in dirty, wet, dusty environments too. These are tough. They stay in the ears all day and all night. I use the noise canceling with ASMR to sleep and they don’t come out ( I use the included large size silicone pieces). The only reason it’s getting 4 stars is because I can’t use “hey siri”. I can hold down on the bud (through a glove which is great) to use it though. Otherwise the pros: super comfortable, fits the ear very snugly, low pro design, charges very fast (although buds run low on battery after a few hours when using ambient aware), voice clarity when using ambient aware is crystal clear. Can select functions for each ear (right ear volume control, left for play/pause/skip). Can answer calls and hang up with a tap/x2 tap. Just wish u could use hey siri. But worth not buying air pods as these are much more low pro and sit in the ear flush and stay in with excessive movement

I had an older model of JBL true wireless earbuds, and liked them a lot but was ready for an upgrade. I grabbed these and have been incredibly happy. They sound great and feel great in my ears. I wear them to work often, and so if I'm doing a lot of moving, they will sometimes loosen a little bit, but I almost always am able to feel it and push them back in before they fall out. The touch features take a little while to get used to. But if you handle the buds by holding the outside, instead of the middle, I find I don't usually trigger the touch functions accidentally. It's not a perfect system, but I really like the ability to pause/play, FF/RW, control noise cancelling by only touching the earbuds - I don't have to pull out my phone. The noise cancelling isn't PERFECT (they're earbuds, I think FULL noise cancelling kind of requires over-ear headphones) but it is pretty impressive. I will sometimes use it will shoveling or doing outdoor work and it cuts out a LOT of the noise. The battery life is great, and I have yet to kill them in a single day. Even if I am using both for a couple hours while I work, I toss em back in the case while I take a break, and they charge enough in that time that I never have issues. And I like the wireless charging ability. Overall, very very happy with these. I'm sure that more expensive ones could offer some improvements, but these are great for the price point.

These earbuds are excellent. The sound quality is clear and powerful, with great bass. They are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time and fit perfectly in the ears. The battery life is great, and the noise cancellation works really well. They connect easily to my phone and work perfectly for calls, music, and workouts. I highly recommend them.

Great sound, and noise canceling. They fall out very easily during light activity. If they had ear hooks 5 stars for sure.

Amazing sound quality, great comfort, excellent noise cancelling, quick to connect.

I'm so tired of dealing with JBL. I buy remanufactured from Amazon with a one year warranty. This model is the closest concert hall in your ears as JBL has produced. You need to know how to set it up for what you expect. And KEEP THEM CLEAN. Friends say I am not as easily heard with these. Because the 4 microphone are inside your ear canal. I find that I sound great using relatively inexpensive VIBE 200 TWS. Probably because each bud has three microphones on each stem. I ran down batteries on a different model from JBL , and when I switched to the VIBE 200 TWS my friend said she thought I was sick using the other pair. If I could get bass out of them I would rate them 5 star but JBL is tough on allowing aftermarket silicone tips to close off my ear canal which is why the bass sounds anemic. I'm sure the bass is fine. Try a different tip and the case won't close or charge. I feel like I work for JBL. I bought an improved version, the VIBE 300 TWS but when they arrived I found they have no ear tips. They fall out of my ears instantly. Chinese ear buds. I sent them right back. Long time on the return and warranty return. Too much work. Read up and don't spend $250. Good products, but it's work finding them. I'm sorry JBL but you are OK selling cheap equipment.

Short version: They sound good, as expected for JBL. The multi-link feature is buggy and doesn't work well enough for daily use. I spend 5+ hours a day on MS Teams calls and frequently switch between using my phone and computer to take the calls, as well as listen to music, so multi-link is a must-have feature for me. I also sometimes work in a noisy office and like the noise canceling to help mute the sound of everyone else talking, so I can concentrate. I normally use a set of MS Surface over-the-ear headphones or a set of Jabra Elite Active 7 buds, both of which work very well - great sound, noise canceling, and reliable multi-link. Unfortunately, I some-how managed to lose my Jabra's, and the 7s aren't available anymore. So, I decided to try these JBLs. After the first week of daily use, here are my thoughts. The good: The JBLs sounded great, and the app's EQ worked nicely to tailor the sound to my preferences. Battery life was also as advertised. The bad: The multi-link feature is buggy and doesn't work well for me. The buds would often cause my MS Team client to lockup when trying to join a call unless I disconnected them from my phone first. I would also have trouble keeping them connected to my phone or computer. I experienced multiple disconnects while in use and I'd have to put them back in the case to reset them before they would reconnect. The noise canceling is quite poor, even after taking the time to make sure they had the proper fit. I'd say there really isn't any active noise canceling. It's maybe 80% passive and 20% active at best and was unable to even fully mute a single person talking to me in a normal voice. Both my MS Surface headphones and the Jabra 7's were MUCH better in this regard. They are both able to fully mute a normal conversation voice, with active noise canceling turned on - something that is great for noisy offices. Some additional thoughts: I didn't really appreciate the touch controls on the JBLs. I was always activating it when putting them in our taking them out. The Jabra 7s use a physical button press instead of touch, which worked much better. The MS Surface Headphones use both touch and rotation on the ear cups, which also works very well. (Too many designers today underestimate the benefits of tactile response in the rush to embrace touch-enabled devices.) I also really likely the Jabra Active silicone covering instead of the hard plastic. It was both more comfortable and more secure to wear. My ears where a little sore after several hours of wearing the JBLs. Something I don't experience with the MS Surface headphones and Jabra Active 7s.

First off let me say that I use these at the Gym, so that is where I am basing my review score, otherwise it would have been a higher score. The Good: -They sound great, and I mean great. They have great bass response (probably the best) and great mids and highs. The tonality is great across the spectrum, leaning a little bass heavy, but that is adjustable in the app. I think the sound is one of the shining features of this earbud, and after all, that is why we buy these things, right? -Noise Canceling is surprisingly good. I wouldn't listen to others who are talking about bad noise canceling, they are quite good. They are not on par with my Bose QC-35's, but they are close. Every time I take the buds out at the gym, I am amazed at all the noise I was not hearing during my workout. If the fitment is good, the noise canceling is great. The So-So: -The controls. I wish they would allow us to customize the controls however we want. The preset controls (which you can read about in the description) are good, but it would be better if they gave full customizability. The Bad: -The bud shape. Because the bud is rounded, with no wing, it tends to rock itself up and out of position, negating the noise canceling and making the bud feel like it is going to fall out of my ears. This is mostly when I am wincing from lifting some weight or something, but it happens a lot, unfortunately. I am constantly pushing these back into my ear canal to make a tight seal (thinking to myself, "wow, that cuts out a lot of noise when the seal is tight). If you are at home, or on a walk, or anywhere where you are not having a lot of face movement, this should not be an issue, but it is for me. I haven't had one fall out yet, but maybe one day? I REALLY like these for at home or on a bike ride or walk, but the primary purpose for me is the gym. In fact, I liked them so much, I purchased the JBL Reflect Flow Pro's; but the noise canceling on the Pro's were not nearly as good as Live Free's and the Pro's had a slight buzz in the earbuds (barely audible, but noticeable to me), so I sent them back and am waiting for the replacement to see if I just got a dud. If the replacement are as bad as the first, I'll send the Pro's back and just deal with the Live Free's caveats, because they sound that good. For those that care: Yes I know about fitment and placement and all that jazz. I have multiple earbuds and headphones from different brands (Sony, Bose, Sennheiser, etc.), so I have some background to compare.

Realmente son de muy buena calidad, tienen buen sonido, fácil de manipular, se cargan muy rápido, la batería dura mucho tiempo, la cancelación de ruido realmente funciona, los he probado con ruido extremo y prácticamente lo anuló, las llamadas son claras, el micrófono es muy bueno, puedes tener llamadas muy nítidas. Mi único problema fue a la hora de hacer ejercicio, se resbalaban de mi oído después de un buen rato puestos, quizás porque no me los he puesto bien, falta de costumbre quizás, el sudor al parecer no les afecta pero creo que después de un tiempo resbalan del oído, pero no sé me pasa con todos. Aún así a mí me encantaron, son casi perfectos.

The JBL Live Free 2 earbuds are nothing short of amazing. Offering an impressive 35 hours of playtime, they're perfect for long listening sessions without the worry of constant recharging. But it's not just the battery life that impresses; the True Adaptive Noise Cancelling feature is a standout, effectively blocking out ambient noise and allowing for an immersive audio experience. The Smart Ambient technology adds another layer of convenience, enabling me to stay aware of my surroundings when needed, without sacrificing audio quality. The sound quality, as expected from JBL, is top-notch with clear highs, deep lows, and a well-balanced mid-range. These earbuds are not just about sound; they are about an experience. Whether I'm commuting, working out, or just relaxing, the JBL Live Free 2 earbuds have become my go-to for consistent, high-quality sound. They're a fantastic blend of technology, comfort, and durability. In summary, for anyone in search of a reliable, high-quality listening experience, the JBL Live Free 2 earbuds are a perfect choice. They deliver on all fronts - battery life, noise cancellation, sound quality, and usability.

**actualización: los tengo desde el 2023 y a fecha del 2025 siguen como el primer día, buena duración de batería, calidad de sonido, etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ La calidad del audio es excelente, es JBL, no podrías esperar menos. La duración de las baterías es sumamente buena, en promedio los uso de 2 a 3 horas por día con cancelación de ruido activa, desde que los tengo (una semana y media) los he cargado en dos ocasiones así que por batería no vas a sufrir. Los bajos son muy buenos, los medios y agudos cumplen muy bien. Si buscas audífonos para trotar estos son una buena opción, en mi caso, corriendo en la caminadora a una buena velocidad los audífonos no se caen en lo más minimo, se fijan muy bien. Los recomiendo ampliamente, estoy satisfecho con ellos.

Great product

Excelente sonido y conectividad en buen precio, el único pero es que son muy sencibles el control directo en el oído si te pones la capucha de tu chamarra para correr al girar la cabeza se puede pausar o adelantar la canción
