For a very long time, my go-to headphones have been those made by TWS. I wanted it to have touch controls that let you change the volume as well as the track you're listening to. A manufacturer with whom I have not been friendly for a significant amount of time was the only one from which it was feasible to buy Samsung Galaxy Buds in 2022 at a price that fell within an acceptable range and satisfied all of the parameters listed above. As soon as I saw that the JBL Live 300 was going to be put up for sale, I felt an urgent urge to get this specific model, which, regrettably, during operation disappointed more than it thrilled me. The headphones themselves are fairly "bulky" and can be felt in the ears, however they continue to sit securely on my head no matter which direction I turn it. Because the built-in microphone does a good job of transmitting speech without adding any additional sounds or distortions, any interlocutor can hear everything clearly. Noise isolation at a respectable level: even while riding the subway, the maximum volume level on the devices was increased to up to two thirds of what it could possibly be. In addition, the sound quality is at a satisfactory level. Add to the benefits the independence of usage, which amounts to 6 hours of work from and to. About the unfavorable aspects The use of touch controls is a real nuisance. If changing songs works without any errors, then changing the volume is a frustrating experience because swipes are not recognized correctly and "dancing with a tambourine" is required to adjust the volume. These are as follows: swipes should be done with hands that are neither oily nor moist, with the tip of a fingertip, either above or below the JBL lettering, and in any direction. But even if you do all of those things — and just pretend for a second that you are running — the hellish control panel will still interpret one of the ten swipes as a tap, and it will either pause the music or change the track. This will happen regardless of what you do. It only takes a few hours of listening to music for your ears to start hurting. I tried a variety of ear pads, including those included in the set, but I did not notice a significant difference. The cover itself has some issues: the lid is not only very flimsy but also quite loose, and the charge level is not visible anywhere on the device. In case you missed it the first time, the issue is that the carrying case is depleted of power, which means you cannot switch on the headphones no matter where you are or what you do. The final issue was probably caused by a manufacturing flaw, but it was the final straw, and I returned the headphones to the seller as a result.
