Fantastic for fitness, with Bluetooth deficiency.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sound Quality:
Excellent for working out! Good bass, nice mids, and soft highs. The key is to get a good seal with the tips. A twist and lock into place works perfect for me every time. Once they’re secure the form factor is small enough to stay put for working out and running. I also don’t experience occlusion (thumping sound similar to running with your fingers in your ear).
Ease Of Operation:
Very good once you figure out the controls. Study the manual! The headphones aren’t exactly intuitive as there are a lot of functions crammed into 2 buttons on the earbuds. An app would be stellar! That way you could control the buds and adjust EQ settings, ambient aware etc.
Form Factor:
Fantastic! Very high quality! Metal charging case is very nice!
Earbuds are solid. I was concerned they would not stay in my ears but absolutely no problems.
Bluetooth:
Can only pair one device at a time. Boo!
Occasional dropping out but not often. I’m still trying to figure out if there is something that triggers this effect.
Not good for watching movies/videos due to a time lapse in audio. Otherwise, these would be great for air travel due to it’s PASSIVE noise canceling via a proper seal.
Features:
Talk thru works for me when i want to chat with someone at the gym.
Ambient aware works great but i do get wind noise when riding a bicycle (save the warnings of wearing earphones and biking, I’m on a dedicated trail).
I also have the JBL Endurance Peak. I find controls on the UA True wireless Flash to be much easier especially the volume control. I think the Peak sounds better to my ears due to more pronounced highs but i have difficulty getting them to stay in my ears.
Final Verdict: Stellar for working out especially with rap, drum and bass, and EDM. Good for other music too but certainly not for audiophile type listening. The PEAK is better for that. But why would you work out to classical music?
If the Bluetooth were better (video lag time) and ability to pair 2 devices, I’d give it 5 stars.
I feel the value is there but At this price point, the Bluetooth should have been upgraded. This is a common complaint that i have with my PEAKS and EVEREST ELITE 750NC headphones.
Lastly, study the manual to get the greatest benefit of features.

Great headphones!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had these headphones for about two weeks and I love them so far!
First, the packaging is great and the product is well presented in the box. It gave me confidence I was getting a quality product. The addition of the PUSH sticker on the charging case and paper showing how to tell if the product is charging were very helpful to quickly understand features that may not have been immediately intuitive..
Second, the instruction book is very easy to read and was helpful in explaining how operate the headphones and how to pair them to my cellphone through Bluetooth. I felt like I had a very good understanding of how to use the product after quickly reading the instruction book.
Third, the headphones paired to my cell phone with no issues at all and the sound quality is excellent! I have a set of Bose Bluetooth headphones and I believe these rival the sound quality of my Bose headphones. Additionally, these headphones feel very secure in my ear so I have no fear of them falling out, even during very physical activities.
Fourth, the Talk Thru and Ambient Aware are amazing features. It is so nice to be able to just click a button to be able to hear what is going on around me versus removing the headphone completely. It has worked great while exercising and also while I was on a plane, when the flight attendant came by and when overhead announcements were made.
I've only experienced two minor issues with the headphones so far. First, about 10% of the time, it takes three or four attempts to activate the Talk Thru or Ambient Aware features. I will click the button and nothing happens, so I have to try again. But I've always been able to eventually get it to work after a couple tries. Second, the right headphone requires some re-positioning in order to get it to charge in the charging case. The left headphone drops in the case and always charges immediately, but I have to move the right headphone around for about 5-10 seconds to get in the correct position for the red charging light to illuminate.
All in all, I love these headphones and they will be my go to set of Bluetooth headphones moving forward.

I about this 3 days ago and I live them. They do everything they were designed for. I use them everyday. The only flaw is that if you don’t wear them right they start to hurt your ear, but great product and I always trust jbl’s products

Perfect for runners!

I bought these wireless earbuds because they were marketed as being built by runners, for runners. After my first run with these earbuds, I knew it was money well spent! After 10+ runs, I've yet to feel like either earbud was going to fall out. Highly recommend!

So far these are the best ...

So far these are the best true wireless headphones I've had a chance to use. I have the Jabra Elite Sport and the Ticpods. FOR ME these are the most comfortable of them all, and I repeat - FOR ME. They sound great, they're easy to use, and OMG the bionic hearing function is a lifesaver! I know they're not the cheapest, but if you want true wireless earbuds with comfort (which is relative) and quality sound - these are your best bet in my opinion.

Jbl is always an amazing product. Collaboration with UA just promises that its for the athlete, for someone on the move that doesnt want to worry about buds falling out. They fit amazingly and the jbl sound is right on. Wouldnt buy another.
