Good general purpose earbuds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These wireless earbuds are good for general use. The sound is clear for listening to audiobooks, podcasts and music and for conducting phone conversations. Maybe they could use more bass, but they are "good enough" to listen to and enjoy your music. I like that they connect automatically very quickly to each other and to your phone. I have another set made by another brand that takes a while to connect to my phone and then randomly connects to the phone even when in the charging case. These connect quickly and the connection to your phone ends when you place them in the charging case.
I took off a point for comfort and staying in place. They sort of have a tendency to hurt after a while. They just sit in your ears without anything to really hold them in place, so I do not recommend these for sports activities or working out. They feel like they will fall out if you move too much. They are for sitting and listening and talking on the phone and very light activity/movement, IMO. I wanted to take a point off because they do not have noise cancellation, but in fairness, they don't advertise them as noise cancelling, so no surprise there.
Overall, I'd recommend them for folks who aren't trying to use their earbuds while doing physical activities.

Great Quality of sound and very light headphones

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these JBL 225TWS, the sound is amazing, I'm using it with Pixel 5 and Ipad 2, these headphones are very light, you will not notice you are wearing them.
Very easy to connect to your phone and you can use each side separately, pixel 5 will show you battery level for each side

Yeah, I can live with these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Submitting a review of the JBL TUNE225TWS earbuds. And the review is from an older retired guy who loves music. Upon looking at the packaging I wondered if these units were designed and manufactured for a younger generation. It did prove out my thought was correct. But that is where the market is at.
Unboxing and charging the units was no issue, in fact quite easy. Later I tried to connect Bluetooth to my Samsung phone. No luck. So go read the instructions and the printing style and small size prevented me from accurately reading the instructions. OK, go the computer and do basic research, I had to install the “MY JBL HERADPHONES” app. Then I could connect..Problem solved. Not sure what “FAST PAIR” means but...
The earbuds being a hard plastic were surprisingly comfortable for listening to music for an hour or two. I tend to listen without any equalization and prefer flat tome controls. I found the mids and highs very pleasant and with minimal colorization. I did find the bass on the weak side although I was expecting a heavier and louder bass due to the words “PURE BASS” on the box. Just as well as I prefer a flat to attenuated bass.
Now the next day I couldn’t find the earbuds and case on my messy desk. The black case simply disappeared on my darker desk. Once found, the easy solution was a couple pieces of green electrical tape on the case. Another problem solved.
Next project/experiment. Would the JBL earbuds connect with the Bluetooth in my desktop computer? My initial thought was no as there is no download for connection purposes. Give it a try none the less. They connected!!
For the next two hours I listened to a wide variety of music. Big Band, piano solos, acoustic guitar, harsh electric guitar, opera singers, pop singers, country music, different rock-n-roll and so on. I came away with the same conclusions as the day before.
Final conclusion: For a suggest retail of $99.95, I would not have a problem giving a new set to one of my older Grand Children. I will continue to use the JBL TUNE225TWS on an occasional basis. I do expect a reasonable lifespan and these units will a welcome addition to my music listening enjoyment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For me these buds are perfection!!! Small size magnetic charging box, charging/charge indicator, great feel of the buds, good fit, light weight, very comfortable, great battery life & most importantly, the unparalleled JBL sound. The sound quality for music is fantastic. They pair and sync really easily and quickly the case is compact and comfortable to carry. Note, USB-C charging cable. Highly recommend!!!

Good times!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these pods. They sync very easily. I do not have a cell phone so I use a tablet instead. I use Pandora to listen to music and it sounds so great on these. Yo can hear every sound on the music and even hear a breath when a flute is playing! This is what I do to relax. Just sit back and block everything out and listen to music. Also love the charging case. So compact and convenient! Would recommend to everyone!
