JBLLive Pro 2 - True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds, up to 40 Hours of Playback with Wireless Charging, 6 mics for Perfect Calls, Touch & Voice Control, IPX5 Water Resistant (Black)

I could Cry the Sound deadening as soon as the earbuds say "Connected" you feel silence just shoot through the room and everything around you hushes. I used the JBL GTOS for the sound system in my truck and i said man these speakers are so good i need to try their earbuds and if anyone is thinking of buying airpod Pros dont do it, they cannot compete with this. They are plastic and cheap quality, jbl focuses on Clearly driven sound with pure clarity and ambience. The company really does strive for pure sound quality at a fair prices and these are by far the better Earbud than apple. I used Gen 2 Pro airpods for a year and just after 10 minutes of listening to music they beat apple with volume, quality, deadening, material quality, hell they are water resistant which helps with me being outside and worrying about my mic being covered so people cannot hear me on call. Im so excited to use these this year i eventually want to get the Pro Tour 2s and give them a try Thank you jbl for literally killing it as you guys always do. I never write reviews but i just had to share this for anyone wondering about purchasing these. Also the charge time is faster than airpods and last longer. The bluetooth connectivity is rapid. The comfort is higher quality and doesnt make ur ears irritated.

As the age-old adage goes, 'You get what you pay for,' reflecting the timeless truth that quality often aligns with investment. While slightly more expensive than some earbud options yet far cheaper than high-end competitors, the JBL Live Pro 2 TWS earbuds offer amazing value for those seeking quality audio and features at a reasonable price. They deliver excellent bass-forward sound and a customizable listening experience via the JBL Headphones app, complete with a parametric EQ. The true adaptive noise cancellation is impressive for the price, effectively reducing ambient noise like traffic or office chatter, while the Smart Ambient mode keeps you aware of your surroundings when needed. Battery life is solid, offering up to 10 hours per charge (8 with ANC on) and an additional 30 hours from the sleek, wireless-charging case. Comfort is decent, though the fit might not be perfect for everyone, and the IPX5 water resistance adds durability for workouts or light rain. Call quality is good, thanks to six beamforming mics, though Apple AirPods remain best in class. Overall, these earbuds pack a lot of value, blending strong performance with practical features.

great so far, my only issue with it is while it does allow me to modify what happens when i do a gesture (one tap, two tap, sometimes three tap), the hold is always activating siri or alexa, and you can only choose between three features, one that controls playback, one that controls volume, and one that controls ambient or noise cancelling modes, you cant customize it so one tap pauses and two taps skips and three taps switches ambient mode to noise cancelling, which is really disappointing, however the ambient mode is very good, the noise cancelling i think could be better but still great, it does allow u to choose a gesture feature for only right and a different one for left, but i usually only have one earbud in anyway or else im using a speaker or headphones, not earphones. so far i like them especially as i bought them used, they work fine dont even look or feel used, i wouldnt buy it new if i knew what i knew now but im glad i have them at a bargain price. my favorite part is i can choose how much ambient noise comes in or doesnt.

I wanted to give these a score of 4.5, but that wasn't an option. I liked everything except the controls. I bought it at $100, but it is a good value even for $150I will compare this to Edifier TWS1 Pro and CA Melomania 1+ which I used with Google pixel 4a 5GSetup:Live 2 pro is the best. It supports Google fast pair unlike the other 2. Melomania supports 5.0 Bluetooth with a right earbud as main so you can initiate a connection with either both side or right, but not left alone. You can switch easily from right only connection to left only, but not left to right. Edifier TWS1 Pro had bt 5.2 with aptx adaptive so it was easy to switch and connect.App support: melomania as a decent app, but no as good as JBL's. Edifier TWS1 Pro had no app support.Connection quality: the JBL has a reliable connection with a few cuts that last 2 seconds( I did most of my testing on music mode). It didn't have aptx so I used AAC. AAC had a smoother sound with wider soundstage. SBC had harsher sound that felt compressed. Edifier TWS1 Pro had no cuts at at all thanks to aptx adaptive. Melomania had ACC and standard Aptx and BT 5.0 unlike BT 5.2 on the other two. It had many connections issues and cuts. It tends to restart when a connection is lost while playing music and you end up hearing a startup voice prompt and the volume resets to %50. Very irritating.Battery life: that all features about 10hr + 30hr battery life in theory, but only JBL can come close to these numbers. The TWS1 Pro doesn't always attach properly to the case to charge and remain connected draining battery when that happens. Melomania is even worse because on top of this it an earbuds can connect to your phone sometimes even while charging so it had the worst battery life. I didn't like the high performance mode of Melomania because it sounded worse and drained more battery. I used the regular mode.Wireless charging: only JBL has it but I don't have a charging pad to try itANC and Transparency modes: only JBL has it and the are both good but not the best in class.Case: TWS1 Pro has the thickest case. JBL's case is slightly smaller. Melomania had the smallest case. TWS1 Pro had only one LED light to indicate battery level of the case. Melomania had 5 LEDs for the case. Jbl had 3 leds for the case and 2 leds for ear earbud (7 leds in the case). That is so cool.Earbuds: TWS1 pro has bulky earbuds, but the touch area was not flat and it made touch controls easy to miss despite the responsive touch response. JBL has responsive touch controls, but the small surface area of the touch controls makes using touch controls a nightmare. Melomania had small earbuds that had responsive physical buttons.Comfort: all 3 were comfortable for me.Volume: Edifier TWS1 Pro had the lowest volume followed by Melomania. All of them were loud. JBL wasn't far behind Melomania.Sound quality: melomania had some weird magic. It sounded the best. It had great tuning and probably the best driver response time. It was warmer in a nice and natural way and it was the most detailed especially in bass. A V-shape tuning. However, it has the narrowist soundstage. JBL had a sound profile that is a bass boosted version of the Harman Target. It has a great bass. It was the smoothest sounding and it has the widest soundstage. TTWS1 lacked subbass and it had the harshest treble, but the least detailed. None of the 3 had an excellent mid but JBL had the mids of the 3 while Tws1 pro had the worst mids and weaks vocal details. In conclusion, the details of the driver carried the melomania, but JBL was the most balanced, smoothest and had the widest soundstage.Equalizer: TWS1 pro had no app. Melomania had a decent 5 band EQ but the frequencies were not properly labeled. JBL had the best EQ of all earbuds. It is a full featured EQ that labels the frequencies. I was able to make a custom EQ to make the sound even smoother even though JBL was already the most balanced of the 3.Autopause: only JBL has it.Sidetone: only JBL has that.Multipoint connection: only JBL has it. I could connect 2 devices at the same time (Android and windows), but I couldn't for some reason get both devices to seemlessly switch audio without completely disabling the other. That's weird and could be a bug.Earbuds controls: these is the area that made me want to deduct 0.5 star from my score for JBL. It has controls for everything, but you have to choose from 3 button presets that you can't manually edit for each earbud (playback, volume, ANC and Transparency). This is ridiculous. I can't have volume and playback on the same earbud in mono mode. Also I had to give up ANC preset completely because I set volume for left and playback on right. Tws1 had the best button preset for mono and stereo (despite not having ANC). Melomania had the same controls till they decided to remove volume control from mono mode in a firmware 😑Latency: tws1 pro had the lowest latency thanks to Aptx adaptive. Melomania had an average latency. JBL had the worst latency on music mode (default preset). On video mode it has a low latency that is comparable to Aptx adaptive in Tws1 pro. Normal mode didn't lower latency that much from music mode, but it made sound quality noticably worse than music mode.I had to return Melomania 1+ because of all the connection issues and it stopped working. I am still keeping the Edifier as a backup earbuds despite the not so great sound and charging issues. I love the JBl live pro 2 and it and I will update my review if anything change in it
