JBL REFLECT FLOW - True Wireless Earbuds, bluetooth sport headphones with microphone, Waterproof, up to 30 hours battery, charging case and quick charge (black)

I used the JBL Reflect Mini (original and 2.0) for several years because they had good sound quality, were not super expensive and most importantly, stayed in my ears while running. Now that they are no longer available I tried the JBL Reflect Flow because the price was right and the ear inserts (the part that looks kind of like half a propeller and sits in the outer part of your ear) looked very similar to those in the Reflect Minis.After more than a month using them I really like them. I have had no problem with battery life, the sound quality is fine for Sirius XM or Spotify while I am running and they stay in my ears very well. I run for about 35 minutes 3 days per week and they seem to last for up to 3 weeks before I have to plug the case in to charge them back up. (I don't let them get super low so they might go longer.)The 3-star rating on the noise cancellation is because in order to get the ear buds deep enough in my ear so that they stay in I am using the smallest ball-like cushion which means some sound can get past them. But that is fine with me because I actually like to be able to hear cars, bikes, people nearby as I'm running. I didn't buy these for noise cancellation.Bottom line for me is that these are a very good value.

I have always been a fan of JBL products and let me tell you, these earbuds did not disappoint! Since getting serious about working out again, I have been wanting something that not only makes my music sound good but also cancels out that garbage they play over the speakers at Planet Fitness. The noise cancellation is top tier; sometimes it gets so quiet that I can hear my dead relatives speak to me in the silence! The ear pieces come in three sizes which is very nice for people like me who have small ears. The smallest ones work great for me! Anything else and I begin to get an earache, especially during particularly long exercise sessions throughout which I will have moments of warped vision and hear the soft mournful whispers of my passed family members! A big question I know many will have while reading my review is, "Wait a second... what is the bass like?" I know how important bass is to people, and let me tell you, this product's bass is top-tier, especially for such a small and compact earbud. The bass is resounding and impactful, giving an almost full body experience, which works great for me to help drown out the pleas from my ancient relatives to listen to what they're trying to tell me while I'm queueing up smash hit after smash hit from ABBA's Greatest Hits (Vol. 2) in the gym. They have such good music and I love the fact that they don't care if they appear feminine. All in all, these earbuds are great, and I would recommend them to any weight lifter, runner, spirit medium, gamer, or music enthusiast.

I've used the JBL Feflect Flow earbuds almost daily for a year now. Standout feature for me has been their per charge battery life, I can listen all day to music and I haven't noticed a degradation in battery life.These buds are truly waterproof, I have worn them in the rain and through many hours of sweaty running. I've even worn them in the shower a few times though I was careful and probably should not have since they're only IPX7. JBL now has Reflect Flow Pro with IPX8 rating so that may be worth checking out if you want more water protection.At first, the sound quality was not satisfying. I tried various eartips (including 3rd party foam) and fin combos and had to adjust my phone's equilizer until eventually I had a sound that provided decent bass and midtone details. I have tried several pairs of waterproof ambient-aware earbuds and these sound the best. Not an audiophile experience but still enjoyable.Charging can be finicky. I have a vanity area in my bathroom that I found handy for charging but had to stop that; charging in general doesn't work well in humid spaces. I often need to remove the fins and tips to make sure the earbuds are completely dry before dropping them in the charger. Closing the case is very helpful in establishing and maintaining the charging connection. I usually open it back up and check that both red lights are on and leave the case open so I can see when both buds have finished charging. Charging these on-the-go (in a jostling bag) usually works fine.The ambient aware feature can be disorienting at first because while you are actually outside walking around it sounds like you are listening to a tv. Once used to it I loved it but if it's windy this feature is useless because the wind is all I can hear.While not perfect I have been pleased with these earbuds, they held up well.

To get the good things out of the way, the sound quality on these are pretty good, battery life is fantastic (when they actually charge properly ... more to come) and they are pretty comfortable in my ears, for casual wearing or exercising.The problem? I've gone through two sets of these, and the charging case/system is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. I returned the first pair thinking it was just a defect, but the second pair was just as bad, and has gotten worse over time (I've had them about five months).When I put the earbuds in the charging case, they don't actually start charging right away, unless I adjust the positioning. And then even if I get it to start charging, it might go out again in 5 minutes leaving me with a half-charged or non-charged earbud. I've resorted to taking off the earbud silicone each time to get a better charge.For a $100 product, this was not worth the price or the frustration.
