Review on 🔇 JBL Live Free NC+ Wireless Earbuds - Active Noise Cancelling, Bluetooth, Mic, Up to 21H Battery, Wireless Charging (White) by Vinay Rao ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The quality was disappointing, the product is bad.

I bought ears on the JBL website, so a fake is excluded. I tried to reset the ears, play with the settings, nothing comes out, as the noise reduction was the bottom, it remained. I wrote to JBL support, waiting for a response. At first I wanted to write that the size is a great advantage. Because the size of the case is very small (60x30x25 mm), but the other day I received QCY T11 headphones, which are almost the same in case size, but cost, at the same time, 4 times cheaper. So the size for today, as well as type-C, good sound, this is not a virtue, but a de facto standard in the industry. The packaging is royal, JBL got confused of course. Again, I can’t write it down in dignity, because. for 9000 they pack everyone well (Anker, Oppo, Realmi). The sound is top notch. Medium detailed, bottoms hollow. This, too, today cannot be written as a plus, the same QCY T11 in sound is not much inferior to these headphones, but they are cheaper. Good sound, nothing more to add. Bottom line: I can’t recommend these headphones, because. Noise canceler doesn't work. If you really want something from JBL, then look towards the JBL Live Pro +. I wrote a review for JBL representatives to see. Those who want to know something more, ready to answer any questions. T from 23 Apr. 2022. Took the headphones, on the recommendation of JBL support, to the workshop for inspection. The check took exactly 20 days (according to the law, it should be 10 days, although JBL claims 20 days). Confirmed that the noise canceling does not work. I wrote a request for a refund, they promised to return it in 10 days. What did not like: 1) you need to follow the conclusion with your feet, komon 21st century. They asked me to send a copy of the receipt (I bought it at the JBL store). Moreover, the check and the result of the workshop check are on the JBL website. But still you have to move, you can't decide online. It feels like they are deliberately delaying the process. 2) The application for a refund is located in the depths of the site, if I did not know that it was on the site, I would hardly have found it. Of course, you can write a letter and ask for a response, but this is again a delay in the process

Pros
  • Operating time, with the minimum size of the case. Size is both a plus and a minus. The work of sensors, I had a minimum of false clicks. Comfortable fit. The cap test passes with a bang. They are securely held in the ears, you can run, jump, they will not fall out. A good set of ear pads, but for this money you can do better, follow the example of the Ankers. I didn’t like the complete ones, because. The maximum size is too small for me and they are soft, I replaced them with others. Matte case. I don’t bother with the cover at all, I don’t see the point, I don’t see any scuffs. I carry it in my pocket, often take it out, put it back. Case cover locks at 90 degrees. With my Samsung Note 10 phone, they interface without problems. I just opened the lid of the case, and the phone saw the headphones and offered to hide. I don’t know if the dignity of headphones or a phone. When one of the headphones is in the ear, the transparency mode is automatically turned on. This is the first time I've seen such a feature. Comfortable. Transparency mode on top. With your brain, of course, you understand that you have headphones in your ears and you hear surrounding sounds through them, but you can use it, people's speech is legible. I do not use this opportunity, because. It's easier to remove the earpiece. But I tried transparency, it works, I approve.
Cons
  • The biggest drawback, LACK (as of March 28, 2022) is a non-working noise reduction, from the word at all. Firmware 2.2.0. For the sake of which the headphones were purchased, they do not perform. If we take, for example, the noise reduction of Sony WF-1000xm3 headphones for 100%, then the noise reduction in JBL Live Free NC + is 10%. When you turn on the noise reduction on JBL, you feel something is switching, but there is no noise elimination effect itself. I know what I'm writing about, because Realme Buds Air pro, JBL Live Pro+, Anker Liberty 2 pro, Sony WF-1000xm3 are available. And I don't feel any downsides. Glitchy software. I can turn off the noise reduction using the headphone sensor, but the program does not ate the status, i. E. may indicate that noise reduction is enabled. Noise reduction slider, not working The small size of the case, because of this, the finger rests on the cover and it is difficult to remove the headphones, it takes some getting used to. Tried to take a photo

With its pros. JBL App; Long working time; (7 o'clock) Sound; Has some cons Rubs ears; If the first earbud is connected, it will be difficult to pair the second one with the first one. (You need to turn them on at the same time).

JBL is either crooks or scammers.

Didn't even work for 4 months. The box is not charging. Before that, an earpiece for 1000 worked for me for almost a year. What's the point of paying more?

Decent headphones, lowered the rating due to a problem with one earpiece.
