Misplaced my other headphones and needed to buy an affordable temp. All in all, they work. Just not the greatest. I found them super uncomfortable for both my inner and outer ear. The sound quality isn’t that great. It’s alright. The buzzing sound can get a little annoying though - feels more prominent than with my other bluetooth devices. The mic isn’t good whatsoever. Lots of static noise when used for calls, meetings, or even voice notes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent Headphones, Great Value

First pair of wireless BT headphones I've owned. Comfortable with excellent sound. Bought them on sale at less than half price, then went out and bought a second pair before the sale ended. I know there are better phones out there, but for casual listening for movies and music, they're great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a really good pair, I've been using it since 2018 and it's been holding up really well. Well worth 50$ spent!

Working OK 3 weeks in. Ask me again in a year.

They work OK but I only use them to listen to Audiobooks. Don't know what music would sound like.
There are a some very bad design flaws.
The covering over the foam is really flimsy, it will fail sometime and I will have to cut new foam for them.
The headband is very strong, it hurt my ears the first couple of hours I used them. I had to keep them overnight on a large bottle but even then it recovered to it's former shape. Now I keep them over the arm of the sofa every other night, that helps to relieve the pressure.
I spent ages before I found the charging port, the instructions didn't make it clear that the earpiece was hinged. The cable provided was ridiculously short, impossible to charge from a wall outlet. Luckily I had an old Blackberry cable that fitted the port. But because of he bad location of the port you can't listen and charge at the same time.
There is no information on how long a charge lasts. Can't hook it to my laptop to see how much charge is left.
Because the whole thing is black I found it difficult to locate the on/off button. I'd put a dot of nail polish on it but I'd be afraid it might invalidate my warranty if there is such a thing. JBL doesn't register products in Canada. Wonder of Best Buy covers it?

I’ve owned a pair now for a couple of months, sound is amazing and work pretty much most of the time… I’ve had a couple of times when only one side works, I just let them sit for a few hours and then they work, I walked away from the Bluetooth source and they wouldn’t work either lol a few minutes but all n all a great set of wireless headphones…
