Just got these in the mail. They sound great. Can’t beat the price. Several ear piece sizes to work with and the touch sensors work great. Be sure to play around with the equalizer to get the best sound.
I have these. For $35 they are great. For $150 they are absurd.
The good:
-Sound Quality.
-App Features. Such as the equalizer and customizable touch functions.
-Look Good.
-Fit Good.
-Type C charging.
The Bad:
-Battery Life. They will last a work day. But not more than that.
-Only the right ear can be worn solo with the other bud in the case.
-Case is big and rounded on all sides so it cant stand up anywhere.
-The charging port on the case will constantly blink while the the earbuds are charging. It can be very annoying in a dark room.
-Case is a bit of a pain to open sometimes.
Do these work with an iPhone 12?
They should. From the Questions and Answers section of the Amazon listing:

Are these active noise canceling?
Nope. From the Question and Answers section on the Amazon listing:

I also just got these and like them. Good fit and sound.
The instructions try to tell you that you need the JBL app to pair them, but that’s not true. I’m sure the app allows for additional customisation, but these are great for me out of the box, and I don’t need another app I’ll only use once.
Overall these are great for this price.
You can get these to sound pretty good if you use the equalizer in the app. I also found if you get the right your tips you’ll get a good snug fit which helps the fidelity of the buds. And these are definitely worth the price. When they first came out they were about 150 bucks.
How do these do with phone calls? Clarity on your side and of the caller?
Sound good to excellent. For some reason, it keeps making my Pandora skip to the next song while playing?? What’s up with that?? I’ll try downloading the app.
They seem OK according to who i was speaking with. Buds are fair for the sale price, battery isnt great.
I just received these, so I’ll provide a quick review:
Pairing was easy. I paired them without the app.
The case feels good and you know if the buds are charging.
The app is fine, but not great. It allows some custom choices (like identifying your preferred digital assistant). But you cannot assign functions except for a very few presets.
Features that work by swiping (volume up/down, talkthru activation) are terribly inconsistent. I find that if I brace my hand against my face to get my swiping just perfect, it helps a lot. but casually raising a finger to increase volume ain’t gonna work reliably, at least maybe until after you get comfortable with it.
Talkthru and ambient sound features seemed unhelpful - it just sounded like it cut the volume. it might work well in an office environment when someone speaks up, but droning background noise seemed to make both features difficult to appreciate.
The fit was perfect out of the box.
Music sounded good. I listed to the songs I use to see if details are lost, and everything I expected was there.
Most reviews say that at $80 bucks these are fine. At $40 I think they’re a deal. But they are far from perfect.
