I have the previous model and honestly I was disappointed by the upgrade or version 2 the earbud gummy are way smaller and keep slipping out of my ear and overall they're not loud enough even after customizing the eq on the app

We appreciate your feedback on our JBL Vibe Beam 2. To achieve the best seal and secure fit, you must create a tight seal within your ear canal. To do this, angle the ear tip slightly downward to make it easier to insert into your ear canal, gently twist the earbud to fit it securely into the shape of your ear, and continue twisting the earbud into your ear canal. For further assistance, please contact us.
Pros: Big sound in a little package. JBL is good at delivering good sound quality for relatively low price. Cons: ANC. ANC. And ANC. This JBL has Ambient Noise Control n or ANC which allows users to either turn on noise suppression or let in ambient noise. Good idea in theory, but in practice this means every time you turn on the headphones, it sounds like someone is blowing air into your ear on top of whatever music, podcast, audiobook you're listening to. You can manually turn it off, but you have to do so every. Single. Time. An easy fix would be to have a setting where you can change the default mode, but this does not exist. It's not the end of the world, but it's impressively annoying to have to change a setting every time one uses a headphone, and something I wish I knew before purchasing.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We tested our JBL Vibe Beam 2 and found that the last function you select is saved in your preferences. When you use it again, the device will remember the last setting you selected (Noise Cancelling, Ambient Aware, or Off). Please avoid touching the tap buttons while wearing the earbuds to prevent unintended setting changes.

Earbuds work well for sound canceling. I have small ears and after I wear the earbuds awhile, my ears hurt on the cartilage. Otherwise, I am happy with them.
I have had these for a few weeks now and the sound is AMAZING! I also find the fit is much better, these are definitely a new and improved version of the last pair. The ability to keep the earbuds in and change to hear through them is an improvement over the older ones, they had this feature as well but it wasn't as clear as these.
My only issue is that I find them a little difficult to get out of the case. This is probably a good thing as the last pair, if I dropped the case it would pop open and the earbuds would fly out. So it's something I'm willing to live with.
When I first started using the Vibe Beam 2 ear buds I thought something was wrong because they were so quiet. I made adjustments in the app and it got a bit louder but still not sufficient. I then tried the other size ear pieces and that helped, but I’m still disappointed at the overall volume. Even with the noise canceling turned on they just don’t get loud enough.

We appreciate your feedback on our JBL Vibe Beam 2 TWS. To give you the best audio response, you must create a tight seal within your ear canal. To do this, angle the ear tip slightly downward to make it easier to insert into your ear canal, 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. Also, please check if the balance control of your source device's sound settings is set to default (centered). We also recommend cleaning the earbuds with a cotton swab of alcohol. This will help remove dust or dirt that is blocking the ear tip causing low volume output. If you need more help, please contact us.
Pleasantly surprised by the audio quality, specifically the base. Purchased as a backup after misplacing my main earbuds. Highly recommend—they seem comparable to my friends' much pricier Apple buds.
I recently purchased vibe beam 2 great sound and I like that you can create your own sound effects with the adjustable equalizer just wish the fit was better tried all the ear pieces but they want to fall out while singing along with my music but all in all a great product maybe I should have got something that wraps the ears
