JBL Live Flex 3 TWS ANC Headphones

They keep cutting out and are way too big. Awful ear buds. I wish I could change them

The build quality is really good, so I can give 1 star for that. But the sizing is pathetic. They are marketed at perfect fit but they are no where near a useable size and fall out of my ear under their own weight. There is no way to adjust the size like you would with in-ear buds so if they don't fit, they'll be useless. Really stupid design to think they'll fit perfectly, when everyone has different size ears 🤔

I’ve had these now for a couple of weeks and generally very happy with them. I have found they come loose occasionally during activity though

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the liveflex3 and they are not what I expected from JBL. I have numeros JBL products and everything I have from JBL has been beyond my expectations. The headphones do not fit properly in my ears. Don't get me wrong they sound awesome, but they wont stay in my ears. Maybe I'm deformed. The case is awesome though. You can control everything from the case. The touch screen a plus. Again, everything is awesome, except the fit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL Flex 3 Review The JBL Flex 3 earbuds have a lot to like, but they also come with a couple of minor issues. If you’re a fan of open earbuds, these are an excellent choice. They deliver great sound quality, and their battery life meets the advertised range, lasting between 7 to 10 hours, depending on whether noise canceling is on. They also charge quickly, which is a big plus. I use these earbuds for work, wearing them for about 8 hours a day. With noise canceling turned off, they last through the entire day. However, if I have ANC on, a quick charge during my lunch break is enough to keep them going without any problems. Connectivity Issue One issue I’ve encountered is that, on two occasions in the past two weeks, the left earbud remained connected to my PC or phone and wouldn’t charge while in the case. This doesn’t happen often, but it’s something to be aware of. Case Screen & Controls The screen on the charging case is a surprisingly useful feature. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was necessary, but after using these earbuds with my PC, I found it incredibly convenient. Being able to quickly adjust settings without opening an app is a great addition. Comfort & Fit In terms of comfort, these earbuds are similar to other open-ear designs. They’re comfortable for long periods, and I haven’t experienced any ear fatigue. However, they don’t feel very secure in the ears. They stay in place for activities like walking, using an elliptical, or even a treadmill, but with more intense movement, they feel like they might fall out, though that hasn’t actually happened to me. Relaxing Sounds Feature A cool bonus feature is the built-in relaxing sounds. If you enjoy using earbuds for sleeping or relaxation, you can combine up to five different sounds and set a duration for playback. It’s a nice touch for winding down. Audio Features & Customization The most impressive aspect of the JBL Flex 3 is the variety of features. Personi-Fi is a standout, it customizes the sound based on a hearing test, making the listening experience more personal. The earbuds also support LDAC for high-resolution audio, though in my experience, Personi-Fi (which requires LDAC to be off) actually sounds better when using YouTube Music Premium. However you may get more out of LDAC with a different music service. Final Thoughts Overall, the JBL Flex 3 earbuds offer great sound quality, solid battery life, and a feature-rich experience, especially for those who prefer open-ear designs. While the fit isn’t the most secure, and there’s been an occasional charging issue with the left earbud, these are small drawbacks compared to the overall experience. The screen on the case, customizable audio, and relaxation features make these earbuds a compelling choice for everyday use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Live Flex Three earbuds really surprised me—in a good way. The bass is deep and powerful, even at lower volumes, making them feel more like high-end over-ear headphones. Plus, the ability to customize the equalizer on the case is a huge bonus. The build quality is top-notch, with a solid case and strong magnets that keep the earbuds secure. One of the coolest features is the touchscreen display on the case, which shows the battery percentage and even lets you upload a custom lock screen image. The auto-switching between two Bluetooth devices is seamless—you don’t even have to press a button. It just works! Comfort-wise, these are super lightweight and easy to wear all day without ear fatigue. The fit is secure, the piano finish looks great, and the stems don’t stick out like how AirPods do. Now for the downsides—the case is a bit bulky, especially if you use a silicone cover, and the battery life on the case could be better, but since it is constantly connecting to your phone and earbuds, it’s expected. Honestly, these earbuds deliver amazing sound, deep bass, and a ton of cool features that make them stand out. If you’re looking for a premium listening experience without the premium price tag, these are 100% worth checking out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones offer exceptional comfort and a secure in-ear fit, making them ideal for extended use. I was able to enjoy nearly eight hours of playback before needing to recharge. The convenience of USB-C charging is a significant advantage, especially as it aligns with the standard used by most modern devices. Additionally, the case features a built-in display, providing quick access to playlists and settings without the need to unlock my phone—an innovative and practical touch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Many compact in-ear headphones compete for top honors each year in areas such as features, functionality, and of course SOUND! The newest addition of the JBL Live Flex 3 offering takes audio way beyond the next level! The headphone setup offers JBL Signature Sound at its very best via JBL Spatial Sound that offers concert like sound that surrounds you with deep bass, balanced mid-range, and sharp high frequencies at any volume level. Sound is delivered via sleek Perfect Fit pods that nestle perfectly in ear and pump sound through 12mm drivers. A Smart Charging Case encases the pods for a setup that can be controlled either through the JBL app OR totally app-free. My favorite feature of the Smart Case is the 1.45" touch screen that allows total control of the sound through any device (laptop, phone, etc) without the need for an app. The app is good and does allow customizing of the graphic to be displayed on the display but it not required to adjust sound characteristics or volume. The pods also offer 4 noise-sensing mics and audio compensation filters allow True Adaptive Noise Cancelling for an unforgettable portable concert stage! The pods also offer Perfect Call technology that incorporates 6 beamforming microphones to reduce wind and noise for call and voice clarity that is second to none. Flex 3 offers 50 hours of playback time (10 hours in ear and 40 in case). If you're running low on charge and need to charge quick then Flex 3 fits the bill. With a 10 min USB-C (cable included) charge you gain 4 hours of playtime. And these JBL water resistant wonders can also be recharged wirelessly! The Flex 3's offer Google Finder and Audio Switching services. If you misplace them then the Google network that finds other Android devices can find your devices as well. Audio Switch offers the ability to swap from one Android Bluetooth device to another for seamless swapping of devices and no missed calls. And if all of these features weren't enough the Flex 3's offer Personi-Fi 3 which allows you to shape your audio to match your personal listening style with interactive customizing tools to formulate an exact sound curve to match you and your style perfectly! The Flex 3's offer superb sound and endless customization for a reasonable price. JBL Signature Sound never disappoints when it comes to personal audio reproduction! Simply... breathtaking...
