When I tried to install the JBL Headphones app from 'Google Play' on my Consumer Cellular Verve I couldn't find it with a search; and when trying to install from the QR code I kept getting an error message 'not compatible with your device'. I was ready to return them until I did a search on the error and found an article explaining an alternate way to install the app through APKMirror (which to my surprise actually worked). Having gotten past that, everything has been fairly easy and seems to work really well (except it takes some effort and usually a few tries to get them snug in my ears). I ended up using the smallest gel caps and I suspect some people who complain about not having a large enough size might actually need the smaller size. I set up the left bud to control volume instead of the default since I will use them only for music. At first, I thought I was supposed to tap the top of the buds to start/stop etc. but soon realized I was supposed to tap the outside surface, and it worked fine from that point on. One review complained about the small number of presets for the equalizer. I think they probably didn't scroll down far enough. In any case I just set up the custom option to match what Rock would normally be (a curve with gradually increasing base & treble at the low and high ends) and it sounds fine. I have only been using these for a short time. But unless there are problems I haven't encountered yet, I think these JBL Tune Buds would be much more than adequate for just about anyone (or at least those planning to use them exclusively for music as I am). I finally got a chance to use these on an ice rink (real life situation). I agree they are somewhat difficult to get seated in your ear. The quick start manual has 2 pictures illustrating the suggested positioning for doing it, but I also wiggled them and pushed in for about 5-10 seconds which seemed to help. Once I got them in, they stayed. With my budget priced phone placed on the sidelines the blue tooth stayed connected over the entire area of the rink. I found it very helpful to be able to pause, rewind and replay a song by tapping the ear bud (as opposed to using the phone). For those stating they are not loud enough, check the app setting to see if you have the volume limiter enabled (and be careful if you turn it off).

These are great earbuds overall. I’m very pleased with them. Solid bass and sound quality, easy to operate and switch between ambient sound and noise-canceling modes. My only complaint is the charging case often opens and doesn’t always stay shut. So I have to keep a rubber band around it to keep it closed in my backpack. But they’re a great deal for the money. Actually better sound than my much more expensive Bose earbuds, with the added advantage that you can use either the right or left earbud when cycling - and the microphone works for calls on both. (With my older Bose earbuds only the right earbud had a mic.)

Awesome buds. Superb sound quality. Awesome app with custom EQ settings. On default sound, the bass is boosted +4dB, so you don't really need Spotify's EQ settings to boost it further. A few minor things though. The case is bad quality. I literally had the case in my pocket with my phone against the phone's screen side and the case already has markings. From...smooth glass? The finish wears off too quickly. It's a matte coating and won't last so you'll need a case. Also, the earbuds seem to rely on staying in your ears 100% on the silicone tips being squeezed into your ears. There is nothing else providing stability. They do stay in my ears during my workouts, but they loosen over and over and it leads to decreased bass in my music until I readjust them. All in all, $50 is a pretty good price, but you'll need a $10 case. Even with a case, which most are made out of silicone, it'll wear off the matte finish over time. Don't expect the case to be nice after a year.

I am not an earbud critic, but I know what I like and I like these a lot. After losing one of my old earbuds after meeting the founder of Culver's at the first Culver's Restaurant, a truly historic moment in my life, I was adrift. I liked my old earbuds and made a desperate call to the store to see if it had been found. To my joy, they told me that it had been recovered, but my hopes were quickly dashed when they informed me that they couldn't mail it to me since I live out of state. I had flown too close to fast food greatness and had been burned as a result. Culver's is still great btw. Anyway, I found these earbuds while morosely scrolling through Amazon in an attempt to find the same brand and style that I had. These earbuds were on sale for $50, which seemed a bit much, but when I noticed they were 50% off I thought, why not? I had heard good things about JBL and these did not disappoint. The value for the money I spent is fantastic. The built in mic is great for hands free calling, something that was always a challenge with my old ones. These have great battery life. I charge them on Sundays and use them the whole week without issue. The Bluetooth connection is smooth and I love the range of features available with them. I can easily turn them to noise cancelling, ambient aware and talk through with a tap of my finger and it is equally as easy to switch tracks forward or back. I hope that I don't lose one of these as their loss would be far harder to bear. Don't think about, buy these now! You won't regret it. Happy listening!

Comfortable in my ears! Fit well with the medium bud pieces. The design is fun and comfortable. The sound is phenomenal, used them while working a haunted house to block out some of the noise, and they were perfect. They’ve been dropped a few times and still work great. Quite durable! There’s been no problem with connecting to any of my devices. Love the purple a lot!

Se escuchan super bien y son muy cómodos, la carga de la batería es excelente.

Generally pleased with the product. Volume could be a little louder but everything else functions well. Decent noise cancelling too.

Suenan bien perfecto para regalo

I have 2 pairs of these buds. Money was no object and I tried almost every brands and more expensive buds before selecting these buds. The sub-bass is incredible. Some other brands had also great sound but all were not loud enough, to my taste. I use these buds while driving my harley and it lowers significantly my Harley exhaust sound and more importantly, the loud tire noise from adjacent cars on the higway. It makes everything much quieter, relative to unwanted noise in your environment. Unless you have small ears, I recommend using the biggest size Rubber/Silicone Ear Tips. Definitly not recommended for running as they are a little heavy and fall easily.
