JBL Live 300 True Wireless In-ear Headphones (Blue)

I received these for Christmas, I was wanting Samsung but my husband got me these, I wasn't too sure about them at first. I was very pleasantly surprised!!! The sound on these were incredible! What I discovered was the best feature on this was the battery life. Once I charge the holding case,I could go weeks even went up to a month without charging it again. That holding case kept such great battery life that when I was done using the earbuds just pop them back in the case and they'd that charge back to 100% within a matter of 10mins or less.. I was amazed at that! I love that my google assistant is available on it so I don't miss anything while I'm listening to my music.

It does seem after I've charged the carrying case that I have to always reconnect the google assistant again. Then you have that the earbuds(left side) they're are to very sensitive to touch. As I always have to adjust the left earbud, it stops the music and then 5 times out of 10 the music will not restart on its own so then I have to get my phone out to restart my music. Now, I don't know if this is a me thing or not but again the left earbud is always coming loose in my ear to where I'm constantly adjusting it. Or is falling out of my ear. Other then these few minor issues for me, I still would highly recommend JBL...

Boo, update? More like down-grade

I have TWO pairs of the 125s (that's how much I love them) and was SO excited to try out the 300s, but am sad to say I was severely disappointed. The weight distribution on the newer pair is totally imbalanced and they fall out frequently. The sound has no noticeable improvement. And I HATE that they discontinued the feature that allows either the R or L earbud to be used independently. The controls for the 300s are touch based and I HATE that too. I am constantly having to readjust the buds and everytime it thinks I am trying to pause/skip a song.

Charging issues

I've had these earbuds for almost 2 years now. I have no problem with the sound quality. I personally think the touch sensitive controls can be a little too sensitive at times. But that's not my biggest complaint. I'll give you an example from today of something that's happened multiple times that really gets under my skin and it's the reason I will never buy JBL wireless earbuds again even though I've been a long time supporter of stage equipment for sound.Last night I had my JBL earbuds plugged in to charge up in there charging case so both the case and earbuds should have been fully charged. They were in my pocket inside their magnetic case. So the earbuds should not have jostled from their position of charging inside their case. I put them in my ear this ... MoreI've had these earbuds for almost 2 years now. I have no problem with the sound quality.

I put them in my ear this morning to listen to my podcast and within 5 minutes I was greeted with the chime that tells me there's low battery on my earbuds.The level of annoyance in this circumstance goes beyond words. Especially when you drop the amount of money I spent on these earbuds when they first came out. I bought them because I trusted the name of jbl. But after the experience with these earbuds, I'm 2nd guessing their quality on everything from now on.

Good sound but many design issues.

I love the sound of these headphones during music playback. This is where they shine. But unfortunately, for me, they mostly just sit on a shelf as I replaced them.For some reason, when I look down to type or do something, they take this as an instruction to turn off.Calls in any open space are impossible. Because they do not isolate background sounds well so I am mainly inaudiable. This move away from wired headphones to non wired was a really bad move. I use them with a Samsung Note 20 Ultra, which also has a lot of issues. I preferred my Samsung 9 Note. Fortunately, it looks like the new Sony is pretty great and has a headphone jack. So I hope to switch as soon as I can find one.The JBL software, plus the fundamental limitations of the fact that this is a ... MoreI love the sound of these headphones during music playback.

I have other earbuds. They also have their issues. But the odd software from JBL and the fact that it tries to open a voice assist program with one of the most obvious 'strokes' in infuriating. I do not, and never will, use google Alexa or allow Jeff Bazos to get behind me in any way shape or form.

Great sound quality .. Really bad quality control

I purchased 1 pair then 60 days later the left ear bud stopped working ,I loved the sound quality so much I purchased a second pair then 45 days later they started having connectivity and pairing issues. I went to the site and upgraded the software then upgraded software on my iphone and they have been an extreme disappointment . When they pair I get static and then one ear only works and now presently they don't even show up on any of my devices when bluetooth is scanning . It's like they just stopped working completely . JBL should be ashamed about their quality control because I will not purchase anything from jbl ever again . Hey JBL send me a free pair for my inconvienence and maybe my trust would be instilled to use and promote your products. Thanks for ... MoreI purchased 1 pair then 60 days later the left ear bud stopped working ,I loved the sound quality so much I purchased a second pair then 45 days later they started having connectivity and pairing issues.

Junk battery that doesn't charge

I've gone through two sets of these earbuds because they apparently can't withstand a little earwax or charge properly, they've both only gone a few months each before starting to have issues. First set had a broken driver on one side within a year and second set has started to not charge after a few months. They are constantly letting me down at work and at the gym, I'll have them charging for the whole weekend only for them to still be dead when I go to use them. When they do work, they annoyingly stay on inside the case and I have to disconnect them from my phone manually. Not worth the hassle at this point at all, and at this point I'm done buying JBLs garbage, there are far better options out there at the same price-point or less.

Owned for 2 years

So I've had these headphone for close to 2 years now. To begin there great sounding. The feel nice in the ear no discomfort. I love them. But.. The life of there charge has changed. Which I knew would happen. I put these to work daily lol. Literally. I wear them everyday avg about 6 hours a day. Never played at high levels. 40-50% volume. Now a charge last about an hour and a half before needing to be put back and charge again. I wake up and open and close the case to charge them before work or recreational use. Otherwise they last about 45 mins. The sound is still great no problems at all except the battery life has changed significantly within the last 2 months. Will need to invest into another pair. Great for calls everything.

So-so Product, Awful customer service

I bought these a couple days ago from Amazon. The sound is ok, but not worth the $220 they want for them. The fit is horrendous and I've tried every combination of tips and wing tips, they just don't sit comfortably in my ear. Also the swiping on the JBL to perform functions doesn't work 90 percent of the time.Where they really fall short, however, is trying to charge more for a replacement charge case than the purchase price for the earbuds off Amazon. After a follow-up email asking why it is so expensive, they refused to respond.Needless to say, I gave these guys a chance by purchasing these earbuds instead of the Bose and senheiser ones I was looking at and I now regret it. Instead of potentially converting a brand loyalist like myself to a new company, they ... MoreI bought these a couple days ago from Amazon. The sound is ok, but not worth the $220 they want for them.

Instead of potentially converting a brand loyalist like myself to a new company, they simply reaffirmed why if you find a company you like, stick with them, because good companies that make a solid product with excellent customer service are hard to find. JBL is not one of these companies.

Such a let down

1st pair got stolen before I really got a chance to test them. So i bought a new pair believing they would be a nice pair of headphones. They are constantly disconnecting from eachother or my phone. One minute listening to music and the next 1 headphone isn't synced or just straight up playing static. The battery life goes from %100 to 70% to 0% without any warning. The buttons on the headphones are useless, not really sure if the left one does anything, as it has never worked since day 1. Honestly I'm really disappointed, I use my headphones at work 6 to 8 hours a day and I was excited to upgrade. But it was a downgrade. If you're gunna spend money on headphones I would recommend skipping this pair

Very poor quality control

The only thing great about these ear buds is the sound quality ,the quality control failed miserably twice ,the first pair I bought I dropped one of the ear buds after 60 days and could not get it to work so I seen a sale on amazon and said,hey why not bought another set.They seem to be working fine but again after 60 days I'm getting all kinds if interruptions of static then switching various tone settings by itself. So I upgraded the software for the buds as well as the latest update for my iphone and still the worst possible connectivity even when I have the phone in my hands ,then now I cannot use them because they refuse to be heard or work when I need to talk on the phone . Talkback just quit working . I cannot believe that a company like JBL would put such ... MoreThe only thing great about these ear buds is the sound quality ,the quality control failed miserably twice ,the first pair I bought I dropped one of the ear buds after 60 days and could not get it to work so I seen a sale on amazon and said,hey why not bought another set.They seem to be working fine but again after 60 days I'm getting all kinds if interruptions of static then switching various tone settings by itself.

After twice purchasing this product JBL should grant me a free pair to make up for the money I wasted and still cannot use them at this time . I am truly dissappointed. I CANNOT GIVE ANY STARS FOR THIS PRODUCT. THE SYSTEM FORCED ME TO GIVE A RATING BUT THIS PRODUCT DESERVES A 0 RATING .
