Very comfortable and clear and rich sounding Earbuds. I enjoy hearing the full range of music. The earbuds work equally well on my phone and I can connect with a clear conversation.
I purchased JBL Quantum TWS Bluetooth buds in November 2023. I am so happy I mistakenly came across the buds in a Google search for quality Bluetooth buds. I am so amazed by the sound quality and features. In my opinion, JBL Quantum TWS is by far superior, and the icing on the cake is the sweet price of JBL Quantum TWS.
These headphones have amazing sound for their size! Wireless USB-C dongle works great as well! It's nice that when I'm connected to my laptop via the dongle and someone calls my phone, the headphones will jump over to Bluetooth on my phone. However, it will not work the other way around. If connected to the dongle on my laptop and I make an outgoing call on my phone, the headset will not switch over to Bluetooth requiring me to take out the earbuds and put the phone up to my ear. The Ear Canal Test never works, which I can understand with the way my ears are, but from reading other reviews, I don't this test works very often no matter what type of ear.
As for the fit, my ear are the worst when it comes to earbuds. I have bought many different brand, sizes, and types and none of them would stay in my ears, including these! Very frustrating! So for these, I bought some memory foam tips to replace the ones that came with the earbuds along with some universal inner ear hooks. With these upgrades, I can run, do yard work and shake my head vigorously and the earbuds will remain in place! The noise cancelling is OK for this price range. The ambient sound control and talk through features are a nice touch.
Both the JBL mobile app and desktop app have great features that allow you to monitor the status of the earbuds and case as well as the ability to customize the EQ, Ambient sound control levels, and a few other features.
The only downside is the battery life is horrendous! This is the only reason I gave them 4 stars. I can get maybe 3 hours out them which sucks because I work long hours on the computer and like to listen to music to help establish the required pace of productivity.
I am a packaging artist. Thats my job thats my career. JBL should be ashamed in 2023 for sending such a small item in a convaluted set of boxes, with manuals that the type is so small you'll need sherlock holmes to help. Just look at apple for direction. How come with apple u just simple take it out the box put in your ears and viola!!!!!!

Bought myself a pair a few weeks ago and they arrived a couple days ago. So far they're extremely comfortable and sound great. Battery life is as advertised which is to say it's not mind blowing but it's good for general use cases. So far very happy for my first pair of higher end wireless earbuds.
