We bought these JBL headphones for our 14 year old grand daughter. She picked them out online. When I asked her how she liked them - ‘They are working great! The sound canceling and sound quality are great! ‘
First of all, the custom design came in exactly as I hoped, and I couldn't be more thrilled about that. I've been using these for about 2 weeks now, and I am perfectly happy with my decision to purchase them. I've only charged them one time, and it seems like one charge will last a week or two depending on how much I use them in a day. They're comfortable to wear for hours on end, and the sound quality is amazing. The app features to control sound/noise cancelling are really handy when I'm at work and need to keep an ear out for calls & alerts.
I would like to suggest that the buttons be less sensitive or in a different location on the next gen because I accidentally press them often when taking them off or putting them on. This doesn't make a difference to me personally, but it would be nicer to my Google assistant if it didn't get its hopes up every time I take them off/put them on.
Bottom line - these are amazing headphones and I hope they last me forever.
Esta compra la hice para el día de los padres. La personalización quedó perfecta. Justo como lo imaginaba. Como siempre la calidad de audio JBL insuperable.
Volume buttons and other buttons do not work properly except for the power button. Personalized design looks very cheap.

PLEASE READ! To say I was gifted these headphones would be a lie. It’s more accurate to say I was cursed with these headphones. I am not exaggerating, these headphones are the biggest obstacle in my life right now. When you first put them on you may think they’re a solid pair of headphones. Well friend, that thought will soon be fleeting. Once your into your music, podcast, whatever you listen to, the headphones WILL repeatedly pause on and off, sometimes just off and it’s up to you to turn them back on. This is incredibly inconvenient at the gym. The sensors on them are way too sensitive. If you move, turn your head, open your mouth, produce a drop of sweat, your audio is turning off. It’s not a problem with the battery or Bluetooth. I’m at the gym wearing these headphones right now listening to post Malone and I’m p1ssed off genuinely. I’ve been counting, since writing this review, the headphones have interrupted my music 11 times. So unless you plan on sitting still in a sensory deprivation room all day, these headphones are not going to be good for you. 13 times. I’ve read that downloading their stupid app can help solve this problem. Screw that, I’m not letting jbl win like that after cursing me. In short, do not let the price pursuade you, these are cruddy and I’m p1ssed. 14 times now.
