Just Got the JBL Vibe Buds 2 - Worth It for the Pr
on March 10, 2025
Posted by: TonyN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the JBL Vibe Buds 2 last month after my old earbuds finally died, and honestly? They're pretty good for the price.
The sound quality is definitely decent - nothing mind-blowing, but the bass hits nicely for workout playlists, and I can hear everything clearly during podcasts. They're noticeably better than the cheap pair I had before, though not quite as crisp as my friend's AirPods.
Comfort-wise, they stay put during my morning cardio without causing that weird ear pressure some buds give me. I wore them for a 3-hour flight and barely noticed them, which is saying something since most earbuds start hurting my ears after an hour.
Battery life has been a pleasant surprise. I'm getting around 7-8 hours before needing to pop them back in the case, and I only charge the case about twice a week with daily use. No complaints there!
The touch controls are... fine. Sometimes they work perfectly, other times I'm tapping like a madman trying to pause a song. Classic wireless earbud problem, I guess.
They survived getting caught in a sudden downpour during my run last week, so the water resistance claim checks out. Wouldn't test them with a full submersion though.
For the price, I think they're a solid buy. Are there better wireless earbuds out there? Absolutely. But you'd probably need to spend twice as much to notice a meaningful upgrade. If you're on a budget but still want something reliable from a name brand, the Vibe Buds 2 won't disappoint.

To easy to lose a earbud
on March 16, 2025
Posted by: Blakem
I like them but whoever decided to ship these wita case that doesn't close is an absolute clown. The slightest bump and boom earbud lost and the find my earbuds feature only works when they are on NOT when you actually lose a bud. Very disappointed in JBL for this glaring oversight.

Thanks for your feedback. The open case of our JBL Vibe Buds 2 is intentional to make it easier to grab and use on the go. This design allows for quick retrieval and placement without needing to fumble with a lid. Additionally, "Find My Buds" is a feature wherein you can locate missing earbuds by getting a notification on the location and time of last use. You can also activate "ring" to receive a ring notification on your device when the earbuds are in range. If you need further assistance, please contact us.

Huge improvement over the previous model!

I bought these a few weeks ago after losing my original JBL Vibe headphones. The improvements on this version are great. Much easier to clean the earbuds, easier to tell when to charge (they last me about 2 weeks of daily use), and the talk through and noise canceling are much better. The biggest improvement I noticed is the microphone. I can actually use them to talk on the pgone and the other person can hear me clearly with all the background noise removed!

Buds are good, just not enough volume when I’m working out. Good for music and audio playback.

I bought these a month ago and love them! I also own Apple buds and this product is far superior. I have these as well as another pair of JBL headphones and would recommend this product to anyone considering it.

Not so great
on June 9, 2025
Posted by: Nic123
Love everything about these earbuds, from the convenience of the app and the sound quality. However no matter what I do they always fall out and im constantly having to readjust them. Unfortunately due to my lifestyle I can't use them at all which is why I gave a one star.

Thanks for your feedback. In order for your JBL Vibe Buds 2 to give you a tight seal within your ear canal. Try to angle the eartip slightly downward to make it easier to insert into your ear canal, then 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 fits your ear comfortably. If you need further assistance, please contact us.

Great sound

I have been using the buds for 3 weeks now, and I am a bit disappointed about the noisecancelling. They don't have the exact effect that I supposed they would have.
But the sound in them are great.

Thanks for your feedback. Our JBL Vibe Buds 2 feature Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) with Smart Ambient technology, designed to reduce background noise while still allowing you to stay aware of your surroundings when needed. If you're not experiencing the expected level of noise reduction, it may help to ensure that the earbuds are properly seated for a secure fit. The ear tip seal plays a major role in passive noise isolation, which supports effective ANC. You might try the different ear tip sizes included to find the best fit. Also, ensure to adjust the Smart Ambient settings in the JBL Headphones app. This feature lets you control how much of your surroundings you hear, so you can customize the balance between noise cancelling and awareness of your environment. If you need further assistance, please contact us.
