Perfect for running and work meetings!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product. I have primarily used them for running and connecting to my laptop and tablet. They work great on runs as they do not fall out of my ears. Also, they easily connect to my laptop and tablet and produce great sound quality. The microphone works great as well which is important because I use them in Zoom meetings for work.
The sound quality is great. Also the battery life of the headphones and the charging case is phenomenal. They are versatile headphones that allow for an active and ever-changing lifestyle. The noise cancellation is an added bonus that works great. Overall, a great product from JBL.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My favorite buds ever - they rock!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am overly impressed with these new ear buds!! I've had them for approximately two weeks and they have been fantastic. The noise canceling on these are equal if not better than my over the ear headphones, even when mowing my yard. They have all day comfort while wearing them in my office. The sound (like all JBL products) is incredible with crystal clear highs and impressive bass. And the power usage is unbelievable. With a fully charged case and buds, i an confident that i could get seven full days of eight hour usage. I've provided screen shots of the power usage. First morning shows the case at 60% and buds at 100%. Second screen shot shows after a day at work with case still at 60% and the buds at about 20% each. I put the buds in the case and tossed them in my backpack. Next morning, (third screen shot) buds at 100% and the case only down to 50%. THAT IS AWESOME!!!! I hate being tethered by power cords, and the case and buds only need a couple hours to fully charge when needed. Fantastic job JBL!!!

Amazing set of ear buds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the opportunity to put these buds to the test. Once removed from the package I placed them into the case which activated the buds. From there I was able to pair and then download the JBL headphone app. Initial impressions were that these sound superb. Perfect fit and very balanced sound. In the app your able to tweak the sound to your liking as well as adjust the noise canceling and talk through features. These headphones also test for proper fitment to give the best listening experience. You can select your favorite assistant from Google, Alexa, and Siri. The buds themselves are touch sensitive. Within the app you can select what each bud will do when you touch them.
This past weekend I decided to put these to a full test while detailing my car on a windy day. I had noise canceling on and the volume all the way up. I was playing an album with mixed tracks. After a little over two hours the battery life dropped to 20 percent from fully charged. I was constantly moving and never really felt that the buds would fall out. I did have to readjust them every once in a while to squeeze them tightly into my ear canal. I didn’t get any interference from the 20mph winds or hear the buffer over my music. I experienced non stop interference free listening. I truly enjoyed listening to these and was so happy to have had them while working. After a while I forgot they were in my ears since they were so comfortable. I did adjust the sound more to my liking and was so pleased with the sound. Distortion free at full volume. I had taken a break for about 30 minutes and placed the buds back into the case. Fully charged and ready for a few more hours of hardcore listening.
The Live Free 2 TWS have 11mm drivers making the sound very full and lively. The active noise canceling keeps unwanted sound out and the adjustable talk through feature allows the right amount of sound through the buds. Phone calls sound super clear on both ends. The water resistant feature means I can wash and detail cars with these on. You can get 7 hours play time at moderate volume and another 28 hours utilizing the case for a total of 35 hours of play time. The buds are comfortable having oval tubes allowing less fatigue while having them in my ears. These are my go to buds for everyday listening. Ear buds have come a long way over the years and I was a fan of over the ear style headphones previously. These buds offer better sound and immersion than all of my over the ear headphones. Better features and they don’t compress or weigh down on my head. I am truly enjoying these ear buds. These are great!!!

Studio Quality Sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another great product from JBL!!! The Livefree2 earbuds are fantastic. Easy to use, navigation of the features are easily picked up. The charge on these things is phenomenal - 7 hours in the buds and 28 more hours from the case. These things practically disappear into your ear after a couple minutes of wearing, very comfortable, actually would forget I was wearing them if it weren't for the quality sound in my ears. Easy switch between ambient, noise cancelling and talk through with just a touch of your finger. Also easily sets up to Google or Alexa which is already built in.

These check all the boxes, simply incredible.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OK, I can admit that I am a bluetooth earbud addict. I've tried many brands and styles. This set is the best sounding ear buds that I've had in a VERY long time. First off, I love how easy this was to pair with my phone (Android). Didn't have to do anything besides tap the prompt when they appeared on my screen. Also, this set finally uses the JBL headphone app the way I have wanted it to for a long time. You can tweak the EQ, change up the functions/taps on each ear bud, and the tap motion to use those functions is light and responsive. LOVE the noise cancelling feature, and the ability to be aware of surroundings. Having that flexibility is worth a ton to me. Super comfortable, comes with the usual Small/medium/large ear pads to custom fit, and they sit very comfortably in the ear without fatigue or pain. Phone calls were clear and everyone said I sounded like I was in the room. Super compact charger case as well. I really have no complaints at and again, the sound is exceptional. HIGHLY recommend.

Legitimately Impressed!!

from Portland, Maine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work primarily from home. All day, every day: video calls, presentations, and music listening - from the backyard, basement, and kitchen. These earbuds are AMAZING while connected to my MacBook Pro and iPhone 13! Out of the carton (nicely packed, I might add), the earbuds were charged. They connected easily and quickly to my hardware, are SUPER LIGHT, and have outstanding audio quality. The various noise control settings function well, and the tap controls are perfectly sensitive and quite responsive. I've used and abandoned a ton of Bluetooth earbud products, but this one is great! Unquestionably a keeper and one that will be used frequently.

Really nice upgrade
on June 15, 2022
Posted by: Vicky
from New York
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using happily using premium wireless earbuds for a few years now, so I was hesitant to believe these would be worth upgrading to. But after about a week’s worth of use, I’m a firm believer. First of all, these earbuds are much lighter. I didn’t think my previous earbuds were heavy at all, but these are significantly lighter, and thus more comfortable. I attended a Zoom conference for several hours and didn’t even notice I was wearing them.
The JBL app interface is also improved, another pleasant surprise. Within the app you can turn on/off noise cancellation, adjust the bass/treble, customize the controls, and test the fit of the earbuds. A cool new feature I noticed is “voice aware” which lets you control the amount of audio feedback you hear. I didn’t think I would need this feature, but I played around with it during my Zoom conference calls, and it’s a game changer. I also love that I have the option of voice prompts for turning features on/off. Again, this wasn’t a feature I ever knew I needed, but especially when toggling between noise cancellation, talk-through and ambient aware, I found that I really loved having verbal feedback instead of just a sound or beep.
My final comment is on the shape because I had conflicted feelings about it. At first I didn’t really like it, my first thought is that they were super slippery jelly beans. I had a hard time getting them quickly out of the case and into my ears. And trying to adjust them in my ears would set off the gestures. But after a day or two, I realized I just needed to get used to them. The slight curve in the shape is actually designed for holding them (duh). And the small shape actually mean that they fit really nicely inside my ear. They don’t stick out like crazy. I wore them on a long flight and was able to rest my head comfortably on a pillow without jabbing the earbuds into my head. I was very happy!
In conclusion, a really really nice set of premium earbuds. The amazing JBL sound is what you would expect. But it also adds a few thoughtful features that really impressed me and make them worth upgrading to.

Feature rich light weight headphones!
on June 15, 2022
Posted by: claritydnb
from Fargo, ND
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are excellent little headphones! The sound is typical for JBL with deep bass and crisp highs. They are very very light, which I like a lot. They are comfortable to wear. I really like the integration with the JBL Headphones app. This model has a feature that measures the fit of the headphones by playing some music and using the microphone to see if it hears it. I learned that one of my ear canals needs a smaller end than the other! These have ANC which works very well. I used it in presence of my loud motorcycle and it removed all of the harsh sound, but not all of the sound. I really like that these are able to sense when they are in my ear. They will stop playing when not in the ear. That definitely helps when I am listening to an audio book and have to take my headphone(s) out to chat with someone. It will pick back up as soon as I put it back in my ear. I do wish the case had some texture on the outside, because it is slick and I have dropped it a couple times. All in all, I would definitely recommend these to a friend!
