JBL is clearly leading innovation here

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Genius product, I am always impressed with a JBL product. The latest JBL Vibe Beam 2 has performance and features I didn’t expect. The most noticeable feature is while wearing the buds, if someone approaches I can hear them without pausing or removing them. The sound is incredible and the fit is nice. The battery life is above average with use and the noise canceling is impressive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL Vibe Beam 2, for the price, you really can't complain about anything! The first thing you notice is the lid-less design. I think it is very convenient and attractive all while still protecting your ear buds! I have yet to have an ear bud fall out of the case on accident yet. On to earbuds falling out of your ears. They simply don't! I took theses buds to a gym and running session and I had almost no worries about them falling out! On top of that they aren't bulky whatsoever, almost hidden depending on your ears. Lastly the sound. JBL never fails when it comes to sound quality. With the JBL Headphones App, you can EQ your buds to your style of music / liking! If I had one gripe about these buds, it'd be that they aren't the loudest or most bass heavy buds, but given its price point they are amazing! Tap features on the ear buds are super easy to use (and change in the app) and noise canceling works really well if you want it on! Overall JBL is unstoppable when it comes to sound and build quality! Highly recommend!!

A Great Bang for your Buck!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Wireless Earbuds provide everything you could expect and more! The overall build quality is what to expect from the line of JBL products. The earbuds are both very solid and comfortable after choosing the right ear piece that you get in the box. Even after shaking your head or some semi intense workout sessions they did not want to fall out which is great. The case leaves a little to be desired with the lack of a closing lid. I’ve had a few issues with the earbuds being separated from their case when storing them in my bag. That being said the magnets that hold them in place do a good job keeping them in place for the most part. The sound quality of these drivers are very good!!! Great punchy bass with decently clear mids and highs. Voices are very clear and I haven’t ran into any distortion even at higher volumes. Battery life is also amazing, I’ve gone multiple days without charging them or the case and they are always ready to go. The noise cancellation is pretty good. It really does rely on a good fit in your ear though so your pick on the ear tips make a big difference. Overall a great experience!

Great for the Mechanic!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutley love the clarity of theses buds for calls and music. Great for studing and on the job training that requires you listen while watch. Helps drown out alot of the background noise and help keep conversation and seminairs very crisp and clean audio. Let my kids give them a shot to see how they fit smaller ears. They work great for everyone in the house except my little 6 year old, could find the replacement ear pieces to fit her tiny ears. But great sound and fit for everyone older in the house. After you do the intial setup they link up super fast, great battery time. I can work a whole 14hr shift and have music or podcast for the whole day working on cars.

Nice sound, noise cancelling.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The storage case is nice and small, and the buds themselves are pretty small. They came fully charged and synced up easily with my phone. I also downloaded the JBL app, which is a nice addition.
I love the noise cancelling/ambient options, they really do seem to block out a lot of background noise. None of my other ear buds have this option.
The sound is really good, I like classical and jazz and you can really hear the highs and lows of the music. They have a nice base also for the rock fans. The app makes it easy to adjust the settings.
I've had and used them for several days and they're still charged.
My only real disappointment is they don't seat well in my ears. I've tried all the different insert sizes. They just don't feel secure and tend to dislodge with much movement, so I likely won't use them for running or at the gym. But great for working or walking. Maybe it's just MY ears are odd shaped.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great price, great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice product, firm fit with typical awesome JBL sound. My only complaint is they can be a bit challenging to get out of the case as they don't stick up very far. The case seems robust and the earbuds seem to lock in well enough for a workout, they held in there whole I ran 2 miles.

Great sound at a low price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Vibe buds 2 have a very cool design. They are compact, light, and quite comfortable.
The sound is crystal clear, you can savor the highs, and you can also feel the deep low bass frequencies that are usually hard to reproduce with such small drivers.
The sound is crystal clear, you can savor the highs, and you can also feel the deep low bass frequencies that are usually hard to reproduce with such small drivers.
The sound of these earbuds can also be customized from the app on your phone and is very easy to use.
The app features an equalizer with six different preset sound modes, and although these buds don't have noise canceling, they do have two very convenient features like the smart AMBIENT AWARE technology that helps you stay aware of your surroundings, and TALKTHRU, which lowers the level of the music during conversations, so you can clearly hear the other person's voice.
The app also has a VOICEAWARE feature, it means that you can control the volume of your own voice while talking to others on the phone, just turn it on and adjust the volume to your personal preference.
These buds are touch sensitive. You can control them by simply touching them to play music, adjust the volume, answer or reject calls, or change to a different track.
The new charging case has an open design, it does not have a lid, instead, there's a strong magnet that keeps the buds in place, and it's very convenient, no more opening and closing the lid, just reach and grab.
The ear buds, as well as the charging case, they both have lithium batteries.
It takes two hours to fully charge the case from empty and one hour to charge the buds.
When fully charged, you get 8 hours of battery life in the ear buds, and 24 in the case.

It's also nice to know that you can speed charge an extra 2 hours in just 10 minutes.
I truly recommend the JBL Vibe 2 buds. They are great for music, chillin' and relaxing, exercising, indoors, or outdoors.
They are my go-to buds.
They are my go-to buds.

Big Sound, Small Package, Not so good Controls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried many different brands and styles of earbuds over the years. These are the tried and true in-ear buds with swappable ear canal tips to fit all kinds of ears. For me, these fit very well and seal out external noise quite well. I do understand that fit/comfort is VERY subjective, but for me, these are the style and fit that I prefer.
The sound: it's good. Not insane hi-fi good, but for daily podcast and music listening, they're good. Phone calls are clear and I had no issue being heard during hands-free phone calls.
The Tech: they paired REALLY fast and easily with my Android phone. The JBL Headphones app found the Buds quickly and went right to the options menus for controlling the gestures, sound EQ etc.
The Negative: for me, the gestures and the touch controls were inconsistent and frustrating. I just want to be able to tap anywhere on the bud to start/stop the audio. I struggled to tap correctly to answer a phone call. When I did manage to tap correctly to pause the music I was listening to, there seems to be a large lag between getting the 'beep'of the tap and the music starting and stopping. Wasn't a fan of that In this advanced age of personal electronics, I just want things to work as designed and I want it to work right away.
The Hardware: they seem solid. The case is very compact and charges fairly fast. I've never had a charge case without a lid over the Buds before. Not sure it the open top is a dust and grime catcher yet. Time will tell.
Bottom line is they are pretty solid for what they are and they make for a great backup set of ear buds. Not quite good enough to unseat my favorite daily wear buds, but decent sound and wearable comfort make these a solid #2 for me.
