What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
If you don’t like silicone-tipped earbuds, these are definitely worth checking out. Those flex earphones offer balanced sound, with a focus on clarity and a punchy bass. The battery survives notably longer than i am used to.
The noise cancellation is excellent. The jbl app allows for customization, including eq adjustments. The personalisation (personal-fi) runs a hearing test to customise the earphones.
Noise cancelling is excellent. Comfortable and lightweight. Not too cumbersome or invasive within your ear canal. Work well for commuting and jogging.
Cons
It falls off the ear easily, and any attempt to adjust it either stops or starts playing something. The volume is very low and in fact, invites noise rather than cancel it.

First of all, it's pretty clear that these are jbl's attempt to provide a cheaper alternative to the apple airpods.
Anyway, using the graphic equalisers i was able to boost the bass to 3 db and added a slight lift to the midrange (1db).

This is mostly down to the piece that extends down from the earbud which includes the microphone

When being worn the earbuds don’t feel like they’ll fall out easily or anything although i’m not sure i’d go running with them in as they don’t feel perfectly secure to that degree

The case holds charge before it too needs charging up

Due to a silicone allergy i can only wear the “stick open” design earbuds and had been a long time user of the apple airpods 2nd gen which i preferred also to the stick open 3rd gen

So one of my apple 2nd gen air buds suddenly stopped working

I felt loathed to replace these with the same 2nd gen buds as not only are they 4 years old technology but have a now antiquated bluetooth version and have been left in the dust with no noise cancelling refresh
