heavier than expected but great sound and ANC

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, I love the minimal packaging the buds came in. And i just noticed that the charging case itself is able to be charged wirelessly...so cool!
My use case for ear buds is mainly for conference calls and listening to podcasts. That said, I was very surprised at the 'spatial audio' feature when I was on a Microsoft Teams call with work colleagues. I could easily tell he was working from a small space in his bare/echoey cubicle. Please note these buds are NOT Microsoft Teams certified (wish they were) - therefore one has to deal with a potential double mute situation (muting buds does not enact the mute in Teams).
I found the buds to be fairly comfortable though a bit heavier than I imagined. When listening to my podcasts while doing chores, I did have to re-adjust my fit once (your ears may vary). I'll have the see how it does on my jogs around the neighborhood.
I was a bit irked this morning when I tried to start up my Pocketcast on my iphone, it started playing but audio wasn't coming through. It looks like it defaulted to my android pixel phone. I don't know if it's the bluetooth protocol but i was expecting it to start playing once some audio was going through one of the phones.
I played the podcast on my pixel and then made a phone call on the iphone. It correctly switched audio to the phone call and after a few seconds of hanging up, correctly resumed my podcast.
Some features are disabled when using just one ear bud (and appriopriately so). The tap controls are good and responsive. Flashlight feature is meh but i suppose better than nothing on a very dark night. Perhaps it's just me but I wish there was more gestures available on the touch screen as one has to scroll left/right a lot to get to some screens.
ANC was good for me but zoom conference attendees still could hear background chatter when I was sitting in a gelato shop.
The liveBuds3 is feature rich! I'll have to try the phone message notifications sometime as well as the different audio profiles - but again music isn't my main activity with these.
I was using a pair of JVC ear buds but this is easily going to replace it. The charging case feels heftier in the pocket than the JVC's - but perhaps it's time I invest in one of those hip cross-body bags :p.

Live Buds 3 are great!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This JBL live buds 3 represent a perfect balance of sound with a case whose usefulness is a step above others. These earbuds have a nice sound that goes with the sound having a near perfect balance. The case provides a near phone free 3xperience and allows customization.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's better to hear you my dear...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Top notch ear buds. The first thing you notice is the quality packaging. It comes with extra ear cushions. These buds fit comfortably and snug in the ear. I feel safe they wont fall out. Getting to the case, the cover looks like a tiny tv screen, something different. Slide it for different screens with choices like volume, ambient sound, spatial, equalizer. It has a timer, brightness, wallpaper lock, voice aware, auto play and pause choice message preview, find my buds (mine are in my ears) and a flashlight!

Great but a little bulky for earbuds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used these earbuds for approximately 3 days so far and I can honestly say I like these more than other earbuds I’ve used, one thing I like the most is how comfortable and how long they lasted compared to others, and how well they stayed in my ear which is surprising because other earbuds usually come out after some moving around so I love that. I used the buds for about 4 hours strait and still had 70 percent battery on the buds which is great. The two things I can say that I don’t like is how big the charging case is compared to others and how the screen on the case drains the battery of the case but that’s something I can get past with how long the battery last. All in all a great pair of earbuds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the livebuds 3 on my recent vacation and on a run already and can say they absolutely fit in my ears perfectly. I dont have to worry about them falling out. Very easy to connect to your phone and love all the settings that are available on the case itself especially the option to pause or skip a song, change the volume, and find my buds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Live Buds 3 are great for everyday use. Works well while sleeping or just going about a normal day. The ear buds are very comfortable for long and short periods of time. The battery life is amazing. Sound quality is perfect. The touch screen on the case is a bit sensitive. All the options on the touch screen are great and useful!
