These things are the best buds yet!
Forget getting all detailed I’ll just say this, when I workout I like to rock out and my rap has to slap!! I get so upset at all these ear buds advertising good sound! Forget good sound I want good “loud” sound and for some ear buds these JBL’s finally do that!! Well worth the money I spent. I only bought them because my Awsome JBL’s that cover the ear started to stink from absorbing my sweat which I didn’t realize what was happening before it was too late. So I recommend JBL make those ear pads water proof or make them replaceable. Replaceable would be cool because you could have different color ones. Some people like to match their workout clothes. Lol

Great headphones with terrible charging issues.
I am writing this to voice my displeasure. I've had these for 6 months, and since the beginning these have always had issues charging. It's a dice roll whether these will charge for me or not. Most the time they're fine, but when you need them the most, you charge them up overnight in the case only for them to die instantly. It's as if the box is not charging the headphones. I give you an example. Right now, the box is on 4 bars (full apparently) left them in the box charging for over an hour, put them back in my ears as they havent charged at all! Super frustrating. I expect better quality service for the price. The whole point of going wireless is convenience which this is the last thing to. Now here I am on a nightshift writing a 1 star review frustrated. Stay away! Other than this issue these are exactly what I need which is why I'm really disappointed as I really wanted to love these. The build quality great, finish amazing , sound is great but it's all a shame when they have huge quality control issues.

Not recommended...
The first experience was good: well durability, good music quality for this price. But in a while, I got a problem with enabling headphones, it can not be enabled on uses enable button only if right headphone put in the box and extract (sometimes). Then, I got one more issue only with the right headphone after putting in the box and closing that, the headphone was enabling and not charge in (required a lot of trying to charge it). Microphone: all my interlocutors complained that they don't hear me or hear very bad. After a few seconds of silence, my headphones eating a few seconds of my conversation... I was trying to find a way to update the firmware but to no avail (the mobile application "JBL headphones" doesn't support this model).

Best I've used
These are brilliant tbh, exactly what I needed.
Sound is brilliant with good bass and even good mids and lows, I do wish they could connect to the jbl app for more personal preference EQ.
The charger has 20 hours in it and the ear buds hold 10 so 30 hours without charging will last me the week with spare.
The packing is high quality they come with spare tips at different sizes for all ear sizes. They are comfy to wear and if I shake my head running or working out they dont budge.
The only downside I have really is they are too slippy in the case, because it doesnt open fully its hard for chubby fingers to grip them.
Otherwise a great value for money

Amazing!
You are able to pre-order them through Apple pay and they will ship right away, as that is what I did. I got free 2 day shipping and have had them for a couple days now. The sound quality is impressive. Crystal clear audio with great punchy bass. They are also amazingly comfortable and will not fall out of your ears at all. I work a desk job all day and have been using them since I got them at work. The battery life is the best I have ever had out of any wireless earbuds. They claim 10 hours of battery life, however I was able to work for 8.5 hours listening to music and a couple podcasts nonstop (except for maybe 15 minutes of them charging in the case during lunch), and at the end of my shift, They barely even made it down to 50%!!! And on top of all of that, it has Bluetooth 5.0. Connection with them has been amazing and have been able to walk around my house with little interference (even through some walls). The delay is something I was worried about, however I was also surprised with the delay (the lag between audio and video on your phone). The delay is quite low. There is some delay, but I honestly don't think it could be better than what it is right now. Maybe 100-200 ms of delay? Which makes watching videos completely watchable with no problems.
Overall I highly, Highly, HIGHLY, recommend!

Great True Wireless Headphones
I really love these headphones. They not only look good but are also very comfortable, the fit is very snug and secure. I use these for running and high intensity training without a problem, and I don't need to be worrying about the sweat because these are IPX7 certified. I also like that the headphones bind really well to my ears not allowing outdoor noise, this also helps with sound quality and bass.
The sound quality is really good, they have a very clear and neutral sound, perfect bass and treble balance in my opinion. They can also get really loud without distortion
I think my favorite part of these headphones is the ambient aware feature. You press the button on the left headphone and this activates the built-in microphones to let you hear outside noise without having to take the headphones off.
The battery life is great! Around 10 hours on a single charge without putting them back on the charging case. The case gives you 3 full charges so that's around 30 hours of battery.
The only reasons why I'm not giving them 5 stars is because the charging cable is Micro USB and not USB C. The buttons on the headphones are not so easy to press, I would have preferred touch sensitive ones. And finally that there is no Smartphone app to equalize them.
In conclusion these are the best true wireless headphones that I've tried, even at higher price points.

Worst investment I’ve ever made
I bought these right before deployment and within a month they started having issues. The left ear will randomly turn off and you will have to stop your workout or run and reset them every time you use them. Additionally, they will experience static and poor connectivity even if your phone is literally right next to you. These are the worst headphones I have ever used. Save yourself a lot of money and buy some 20.00 headphones on Amazon, they will work a million times better. I contacted customer service after my deployment and they informed me I was outside of the return window even though I was in a combat zone. Absolute horrible customer service, almost as bad as the product.

Great product but some improvents are possible
I have had this product for about 2 weeks now and used them for about 35-40 hours in total, Firstly I thought it was quite an easy setup to connect the headphones and immediately heard the sound quality was a 10/10 for me. Later that day I took them out and found that the case took up a lot of room in my pocket and was quite annoying to take in and out of my pocket. I was also a bit disappointed to find out that up can’t listen with one ear bud in ear and the other in the case. I have taken the ear buds running and training multiple times and have found that they do not fall out easily and are very comfortable and light to wear and have in your ear.

What a Disappointment
I wish I never bought them. The first pair I had disconnected for a few seconds when I listened to them. This unit got replaced as they did not allow refunds but the scond does the same.
This product is useless, here is why:
- No volume control, only a button to press to talk to other (physical button, not touch)
- Cannot listen to the left one stand alone (Sony can)
- Uncomfortable fit. If you think of wearing them for longer than 30mins, they will start hurting
- Battery life is not 10 hours
- Soft sound, no bass at all. At full blast I can barely cancel out the surroundings.
Total waste of my money.
tldr; Don't buy, useless sound, uncomfortable fit, unthoughtful tech

Bluetooth connection
I first had an issue with left ear charging but was about to fix that issue. However I have a Samsung s10+ and a fitbit ionic that I have music on, if the line of site is blocked between you phone it watch to the earbuds the music is cut out. The Bluetooth does not connect but the music cuts out. I also have the jbl charge 3 and clip 3 that don't have this problem. I have also had another set of wireless headphones that didn't have this issue. Jbl should supply a firmware update to fix this and also instructions on how to update firmware as there isn't anything about firmware on the reflect flow

Great sound
I just used these for a couple of bike rides. The fit is perfect. I didn't even feel them being in my ears. The sound was terrific as expected from JBL. I do not notice that much of a difference between the settings for "ambient aware" setting and the regular setting. I haven't used them for phone calls so I don't know how good the mic is for that. The case charged up the buds quickly. It was a little tricky to pair the ear buds to my phone. The directions JBL gives you are pictures instead of words. I can read. Just print the directions. I had to get online to find a video of how to pair them. Once I got them paired, they rock.

Yet, the best one
I'm Gym addicted person. And used to have some intense workouts 6days a week for 2 hours a days. Yet, I have be already had a problem with earbuds. Some were uncomfortable. Some were sound awfully. These past 2 year I've tried almost every high end sport earbuds under 350. THESE last JBL reflect flow was the best one yet.
My last earbuds was JBL wireless flash. I used to have sounding issues with that ones. And some connectivity issues. With reflect flow Im more than happy! This sound gorgeous. The fit is perfect! There is no other earbuds with the same great fit(have just returned another newly released sport earbuds that costs 179.99 right now: only this can be compared if so. Though JBL is better). I could tune the sound using my oneplus 7pro EQ.
No. Connectivity issues at all,!
Moreover. The buttons are perfect for sport earbuds. The touch sensitivity buttons can cause trouble with accidental touches!
With that said this last reflect flows are the best right now.. If. You are one like me. Who enjoys going GYM. And listening heavy bass music. With rock solid connectivity you have no other choice!
P. S. Sorry for my English. I wrote this review as I was truly satisfied that could finally find the right earbuds for me,!

Poor sound, not worth the $
Have a JBL speaker, so thought these would be too. Headphones had poor sound quality, didn't fit well (even with alternating the buds.) I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable running or working out in these. They stick out your ears a lot, so they're not as low profile as they appeared online. Overall, very disappointed. Considering the price, expected a lot more. Returned.

Brilliant pair of headphones
These headphones are absolutely brilliant! I have owned JBL headphones in the past and after trying these, these headphones truly do have the JBL signature sound. High on the low and the mids and highs are mediocre and I love it. These have a great design also, in my morning jog and gym sessions, these refused to drop out of my ear. They are comfortable to wear on long sessions and THE BATTERY LIFE IS AMAZING, 30 HOURS! The only con that I found was that they use micro-usb instead of usb c which means carrying an extra cable but the battery life makes up for it as I never needed to charge these up even after the longest day of use. These are priced just right and for the money these are definitely worth it!

I’m never taking them out
Overall 9.5/10
Sound 10/10
Ease of pairing 7/10
Ease of use 9.5/10
Sound- Bass slaps, like I can feel it in my eardrums. Noise cancelling is amazing. I couldn’t hear my skateboard wheels rolling on pavement it works so well. I found the treble is slightlyyyy lacking but can be corrected by using your phones built in EQ. Listening to songs I know by heart I’m hearing parts I’ve never heard before the sound quality is so good.
Ease of pairing- It honestly took me 4+ minutes to pair them. Kinda difficult, but once paired they connect to your phone with ease. Just figured I’d mention so some people know its eventually possible lol.
Ease of use-
Each earbud has different functions and once you get used to them(took me 2 minutes) it’s like riding a bike. Charging case is easy to use, and they are easy to get to charge. It has built in siri/ok google/bixby and it picks up what you’re saying very well. Only reason I didn’t give it a 10/10 is it takes a minute to find the right pairing of sizes to fit your ears(comes with 3 different sizes) and it takes a few times to learn how they’re supposed to fit(fits very snug). So snug they passed the Pantera head banging test and never fell out after an hour of intense skateboarding.
In summation... just buy them. They’re cheaper than AirPods and Bose counterparts. Sound better than both, and I’m a Bose fanatic. The bass SLAPS, and they’re waterproof.

Great until they quit charging :(
I accepted these as a replacement for one of the more expensive JBL units that quit charging (same issue - if the right one doesn’t charge, the set will no longer be able to function once it’s out if battery life). While they worked, they were comfortable, had good sound quality for running, and were easy to travel with (only one small cable to pack, thought usually didn’t need it b/c the charge lasted through many runs). Hopefully the charging issues will be addressed. Waiting to hear whether JBL will replace this second lair. Both failed in under six months. :(

Amazing Sound
I have had this product for over 6 months ago and I was skeptical at first but now I love them. Their sound is amazing and I love the bass that these bring. My only issue was that they don't fit my ears the best but for you it will fit as we have different shaped ears .If you want a good pair of wireless earbuds these are the choice for you

Love them
I I bought these about 2 months ago and I love them. I had had a cheaper set of wireless headphones and I accidently let them go through the wash and lost one so I needed new ones. We have had good luck with JBL speakers so I decided to try the headphones, these had the best reviews and were the price range I wanted so I went for it. I am so glad I did because they are a lot better than my old ones they fit comfortably in my ears using the small size pieces provided and I get a much better range away from my cell phone. Sound is great too I have no complaints.

Not great
Bought these and returned them after 3 days of trying them out. They connected fine to my Apple Watch, and as far as I can tell functioned as intended.
Fit: Perhaps this style works for some folks, but the suction created by the inside rubber ear piece was irritating and made me constantly feel like I needed to pop my ears. This was the case with all three of the swappable sizes they provide.
Music: The sound quality was acceptable, but not not nearly as good as you’d assume these big ear pieces would be, especially from JBL.
Calls: the poor quality of the mic when making calls was what ultimately killed these for me. Everyone I spoke to on them said I sounded like I was on a CB radio.

I tried Bose and Beats and the JBL are by far the best and cheaper. They are the most comfortable and the sound is great. The talk through feature is great for listening at work.

Loaded with features!
I bought these a few weeks ago because I started riding bike after 15 years and needed something that would fit in my ears and under a full face cover during Fall/Winter rides. These work through me riding gloves and have great sound for music and calls. I love the ambient aware and talk through!

Sometimes it charges, sometimes it doesn't. You put them into charger, and it turns them on instead of charging. Have to charge one at the time.

Question
When on voice/video call do the earbuds have their own setting as in, do they automatically switch up to be able to use the microphone or is that something you need the enable them to do.

Terrible Quality Control
I got my first pair and immediately the left earbud was defective. It was at a weird angle when compared to the right earbud and sounded muffled. I got a replacement which fixed the problem and gave a new one. Now my earbuds won't charge. Out of the box the case showed 3/4 charge but was dead. I charged it for a few hours then tried again and the buds still won't charge. After wiggling them around I found out that they will only charge if you hold them at a specific angle. That also means they won't turn on when pulled out of the case.

Signal interruptions
The sound quality is great. It fits really good and firm, so no need to check them every n seconds. Waterproof feature is amazing. When I finish my morning workout I can go directly to shower. Automatic pairing works perfectly.
What is not so great is the connection. At least from my experience. I've tried to use them with my Xiaomi Mi 9 phone and also with my laptop, but the signal gets interrupted very frequently what I found disturbing and not appropriate for this price category. This is something what should be improved.

Killer Bass Earbuds
After such a long time I finally found a pair of earbuds that actually fit and stay secure in my dodgy ears. No more stopping to pick up or reinsert back in to the ear whilst running on the treadmill.
The Bass is staggeringly loud and compliments the rest of the music really well, but with the press of the hidden button on the side of the earbud you can instigate the ambient aware mode.
This allows you to hear the outside noise like traffic or talk to someone without taking out the buds.
Each bud has a microphone so it will not impede the sound quality when talking on the phone. Had no complaints when taking calls of my voice breaking or any muffling.
Overall good clean sound quality in par with high end on the ear headphones; with the Bass adding to the sound experience.
The Bluetooth was seamless to pair with many devices and reconnected very quickly.
The buds lasted for around 8 hours of playtime and managed to fully recharge back with the reserve power in the case leaving me some more charge for later.
Coming to the case it has a clean metallic finish with a rubber/silicon like outer casing probably to buffer the case and contents in case it is dropped. The lid locks securely preventing the buds from falling out.
At the back of the case underneath the charging port there is a 4 light indicator for the charging status. Slightly disappointed that the latest USB C port and cable was not replaced for the micro USB.
Overall not a bad deal with the long battery life, quality of sound, the secure fit in the ears and the waterproof features which I still need to discover.
