Won't connect to Garmin Watch
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: Sad Runner
from Greenville, SC
I just bought these to use with my Garmin watch to run with as I don't like to run with my phone and the watch has its own music and Bluetooth connection ability. I had no issue with my watch with my previous JBL vibe buds and those could not hold a charge for long and it was time for a new pair. I found these and thought they would be an upgrade as the sound quality is superior to my vibe buds. Unfortunately, these will not connect to my Garmin watch and when I called JBL for assistance they stated that these are really designed to connect to phones and computers. If that is the case, you need to advertise this way. really sad because the sound quality is great but without the connection to my Garmin watch I really have no use for these.

Customizable sound!

Excellent-sounding earbuds! The sound is full and clear. My favorite feature is that I can put my own photo on the interactive screen. There are other customization features that let me change the sound profile to my preferences. After using them for hours while shopping, the earbuds still showed 82%. They charge quickly, too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The case is garbage.
on February 10, 2025

Charging case is total crap. I can wear the ear buds for an hour slap them back in the case and once charged to 100 percent case now reads it's only 50 percent charged. I don't even use the touch screen cause it just drains the battery even more. I can charge everything to 100 percent and take them with me and go to put them in and the case has drained to 80 percent with not even using them. To say you can get 40 hours out of the case is a lie. Used my buds on and off for about 4 to hours the other day and by the time I went to bed the case was down to 7 percent. I'm assuming this might be a malfunction with the case or are other people experiencing the same thing! I wanna keep them cause they sound amazing, stay in my ear, and love the customized app, but because of the case I will be returning them.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. We're glad to hear you enjoy the earbuds and app. It sounds like you may be experiencing a malfunction with the charging case. We recommend performing a factory reset on your JBL Live Buds 3 by tapping twice on either the left or right earbud, then tapping a third time and holding for 5 seconds. If the issue persists afterward, returning the product is certainly an option. For further assistance, please contact us.

Best earbuds ever!!!!
on February 7, 2025

Just got the JBL Live Buds 3 the other day! I’ve been using Apple AirPods Pro 2 and Beats Powerbeats Pro for several years but because of outdated firmware issues with no updates, it has left me with two useless pair of earbuds so I bought these JBL earbuds. I am shocked at how awesome these new buds are compared to Apple and Beats! These JBL’s are 100 times way better than any buds I’ve used! The ANC is top notch and the transparency mode is actually useful for my work environment. Super rich bass with these earbuds and loud and clear. I can’t even max out the volume with these. Apple and Beats both, I had to max out the volume to get the sound levels I needed. These JBL’s are the perfect earbuds for those who spend time in the gym and wear their headphones majority of the day. Very comfy fit and feels like there’s nothing in my ears. If you wear large gauge earrings like me, these are the best fit for your ears too. Don’t sleep on these JBL Live Buds 3! You will be 110% satisfied with their performance! Thank you JBL for the absolute best earbuds I’ve ever had! I am a bit of a headphone snob and I promise you will absolutely love these buds!

Sound great for the short time they last.
on August 11, 2024
Posted by: Jimi57bite
I have had them fir about 3 weeks. The sound is really good but they do not last 10 hours. I got about 5 hours each time I have used them. I first tried with noise canceling on and then I tried it with it off and I might have gotten another 39 mins. I am a more than a little disappointed. I was hoping to get at least 8 hrs. Your specifications are misleading.

Thanks for your feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve. With our JBL Live Buds 3, charge the battery to 100% and then listen to music without any bass boosted, and at a very low volume. If the battery lasts close to the published up-to playtime, the battery is working fine. However, if you get less than 90% of the published spec, this likely means that the battery is losing its capacity. For us to further assist you with your JBL Live Buds 3, please contact our customer support.

Solid set of feature packed great sounding earbuds
on July 6, 2024

from Johnson City TN. USA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These buds have a lot of usable features. They fit great in my ear. When I take one out the audio will pause until I hit play again or put the bud back in. This works well for me as I often take one earbud out to listen to someone talking to me. This way I don’t miss anything and have to go back on my music/podcast. The noise canceling is great for coffee shops or flight. It is some of the best I’ve used yet. The ambient aware is always helpful for when working out and running. I found the case to be a very helpful interface to make any adjustments to the buds instead of using an app. It works seamlessly. Plus, I just don’t feel like opening up another app if I don’t have to. There are the standard tap of the buds that are good for pausing or changing some minor settings. The wireless charging of the case works great with any pad type charger I have used. One of the most important features (to me anyways) is call quality. The call quality is great for car, around the house, or meetings. This is important when I can’t set up my mic for a meeting and want something to connect quick. This is my go-to set in general and certainly for calls. All of these feature would be meaningless unless the sounds is there. I found the sound to be great especially being able to change from vocal to bass to studio depending on what I am listening to. I enjoy good sound.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far i think this product is amazing, the quality of sound, the amount of features, makes the Live Buds 3 one of the best one i ever tried. The only thing i dont like isnthe fact that the buds are so dificult to grab from the case, but once i put them on, somethimes i forget i have them on. Totally recomend them.
I would recommend this to a friend!
