Virtually indestructible
These earbuds as well as the case survived being directly on a 2013 V6 f150 exhaust manifold for an hour. The case also did not melt nor was there hardly any visible damage. Sound is amazing as well as the microphone. The noise cancelling goes the extra mile by actively cancelling out extremely loud noises and not just environmental noise.

Best earbuds, fantastic features
Bought these earbuds 3 weeks ago. Best decision I made in along time. I was not expecting the earbuds to be so small, as other earbuds I have had are huge and hanging off your ears. These earbuds fit comfortably in your ears, with their size you hardly even notice them. What beautiful clear music can come out of such a small package. I downloaded the JBL app, and adjusted the equalizer., you can literally hear the percussion and string instruments as clear as you were in the room or concert hall they were being played. I listen to Outlaw Country, Bluegrass, and Classic Rock music, and these earbuds do more than just deliver the sounds. Noise cancellation and ambient sound has to be best in business. Lastly what can I say about battery. I use my earbuds everyday at place of work and get 7 hours out of a single charge. My old earbuds from a competitor, would only get be 2 1/2 hours and then would have to put in charger for quick charge. JBL hit it out of the park with these JBL Live Free 2 TWS

I’ve had the Live Free 2 set for 3 weeks and they are more than I expected from sound quality to battery life to control. Good job JBL.

Great product
Had these headphones a month and love them, took me awhile to get use to the noise cancelling function but awesome function. Great sound, a good bass. I work in a noisy industry and use these as ear plugs as well as headphones and they block out all excessive noise.

Perfect for work meetings/ conference calls!
My husband bought these for me because I am on conference calls with work all day every day. They are perfect! Noise canceling my calls are crisp and clear. The other attendees can hear me perfectly. They fit easily in my ears. They hold a long charge. For what I needed for work these fit the bill!!
The hook up to my cell and then the laptop was a little
challenging but you just have to turn the Bluetooth on and off on that device so it knows which one to connect with. I recommend these in ear buds.

Excellent call quality!
I have earbuds in pretty much all day so comfort and battery life are really important to me. I have more than enough battery to get me through the day and barely even notice I have them in. But the sound quality is where these shine because it's excellent. And even with the ambient aware on I still have great battery life. I'm about to buy a second pair because my daughter loved them so much she kept them. Also I believe these are the best wireless earbuds I own for call quality. Usually people struggle to hear me when on calls but not with these. Love these buds!

Read the instructions to get the best out of buds
Once I figured out how to wear them and what taps do what I really enjoyed my ear buds. Great sound, great fit, great noise cancellation all for a good price. Would buy again for sure.

High quality
These are great little earbuds with that signature JBL sound. I'm actually impressed how with how good the audio quality is, not to mention the absolutely outstanding noise cancellation feature. They stay charged seemingly forever thanks to the case and the fit is also comfortable. Plus you don't have any dragging cords!

Versatile earbuds in sustainable packaging
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The earbuds are great but wanted to start the review by complementing the packaging. I've dinged product ratings in the past for including unnecessary single-use plastic packaging, so was very excited to open the box and find almost no plastic in the packaging at all! Big step in the right direction for JBL which I definitely appreciated. The only parts of the packaging that weren't paper/compostable were a 3"x2"x1" foam cube that the buds were secured in, the plastic tab on top of the outer box used to hang in retail stores, a small cloth pull tab to help get the inner box out of the outer box, and a small plastic window in the inner box to be able to see the earbuds themselves without opening the box. All of these seem unnecessary to me, so here's to hoping JBL finds a way to eliminate them too, but big kudos for eliminating all the previously included plastic dunnage.
As for the earbuds themselves, I've really enjoyed using them. I switched the soft tips to the smallest ones that were included since the default/medium ones kept popping out of my ears - no fit issues since then. They even remain in my ears when wearing them on runs, and so far I haven't had any issues from sweat (water resistance rated IPX5).
I love the form factor of the earbuds as well as how compact the case is. The noise-cancelling is pretty solid for in-ear buds, and I like the gentle tap interface on them for play/pause/next/etc. Previous buds I've owned (including ones from JBL) have required a more forceful push/click which often caused discomfort by shoving the buds deeper into my ears, but not the case with these.
I have received a few complaints of poor/quiet mic audio quality when using these on calls, but typically only gotten the feedback when the office/setting had louder background noises. I've also experienced the Bluetooth connection drop randomly a few times, though not very frequently at all.
Last quick warning to the fidgeters like me out there: I have a habit of holding the case in my hand and clicking the lid open and shut like some castanets. Whenever I do this while my phone is connected to my over-ear headphones, the LiveFree earbuds will override the Bluetooth connection, and I'll have to quickly switch it back to the over-ear ones. This is actually probably a good feature (earbuds connecting automatically when case is opened), and the pet peeve is obviously my fault/specific to my fidgeting situation, but thought it would be worth calling out in case designers can add in a two or three seconds delay for future versions.
Overall great set of earbuds.

JBL LIVE Free2 TWS earphone review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over the last 2 weeks or so, I have used the JBL LIVE Free2 TWS earphones every day sitting around relaxing, out on walks, working around the house and even mowing the grass. First off, these are great-looking headphones – they remind me of shiny jelly beans! The case is easy to carry around and supports wireless charging. When I first opened the box the case showed two bars so I plugged them in using the USB-C cable and charging completed in about 30 minutes. With wireless charging, it takes about 4 hours from empty to full charge, twice as long as charging with a cable. The battery life of the LIVE Free2’s is very good getting between 5.5 to 6 hours of continuous playback medium volume.
The earphones have LEDs to indicate charging and connection status. The power connection pins in the case are magnetic and hold the earphones well. The LIVE Free2’s come with three pairs of ear tips for the best fit. As I said, I use earphones frequently while working around the house and yard, but my ears are small so finding earphones with a comfortable challenging. To aid with that, the JBL Live Free 2’s design adopts an oval shape and feel light while in my ears. There was no pressure so I did not feel any pain in your ears even after wearing them for a long time.
The JBL Live Free 2 supports multi-point connectivity that allows you to stay connected to two devices at the same time. For example, if you connect to a work smartphone and and a private smartphones at the same time, you can receive a call on the work phone and still listening to music on the private phone. When you answer the phone, the music stops automatically, and when you hang up the phone, the music starts again automatically. The earphones can each be used independently for single-ear use. Controlling the earphones involves tapping of the left or right earphone. The buttons don’t have tactile feedback, but there is a pleasant beep and a voice announcement of each function as it is being selected.
The listening experience was excellent from a variety of streaming services such as YouTube, Spotify and Audible. I used several playlists that ranged from classical, jazz, classic rock to spoken voice. Selections included Chopin, Mozart, Miles Davis, Led Zepplin, Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd and sundry podcasts just to name a few. The LIVE Free2’s provided a good balance between mid and low frequencies. The bass is solid and powerful while the highs were smooth and airy.
JBL’s Live Free 2 earphones also feature Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology. The technology listens to ambient noise and produces an opposing soundwave. This noticeably reduces the extraneous sounds the wearer hears. For example, with ANC turned on, I could not hear my ceiling fan running on high even without music playing. Mowing the grass with the ANC active greatly reduced the sound of mower’s engine. The LIVE Free2’s also have “Ambient Aware” and “Talkthrough” features. Ambient Aware lets you hear ambient sounds while leaving the volume of the playback levels as is. The Talkthrough feature is a conversation-oriented function where playback levels are decreased by about 20% and speech is amplified. Usually, I remove my earphones when I’m talking to someone, but with the Talkthrough feature, there’s no need.
For me, the JBL Live Free 2 wireless earphones are an excellent choice that provide very good sound quality, call quality, and ANC performance.

Perfect for running and work meetings!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product. I have primarily used them for running and connecting to my laptop and tablet. They work great on runs as they do not fall out of my ears. Also, they easily connect to my laptop and tablet and produce great sound quality. The microphone works great as well which is important because I use them in Zoom meetings for work.
The sound quality is great. Also the battery life of the headphones and the charging case is phenomenal. They are versatile headphones that allow for an active and ever-changing lifestyle. The noise cancellation is an added bonus that works great. Overall, a great product from JBL.

My favorite buds ever - they rock!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am overly impressed with these new ear buds!! I've had them for approximately two weeks and they have been fantastic. The noise canceling on these are equal if not better than my over the ear headphones, even when mowing my yard. They have all day comfort while wearing them in my office. The sound (like all JBL products) is incredible with crystal clear highs and impressive bass. And the power usage is unbelievable. With a fully charged case and buds, i an confident that i could get seven full days of eight hour usage. I've provided screen shots of the power usage. First morning shows the case at 60% and buds at 100%. Second screen shot shows after a day at work with case still at 60% and the buds at about 20% each. I put the buds in the case and tossed them in my backpack. Next morning, (third screen shot) buds at 100% and the case only down to 50%. THAT IS AWESOME!!!! I hate being tethered by power cords, and the case and buds only need a couple hours to fully charge when needed. Fantastic job JBL!!!

Amazing set of ear buds!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the opportunity to put these buds to the test. Once removed from the package I placed them into the case which activated the buds. From there I was able to pair and then download the JBL headphone app. Initial impressions were that these sound superb. Perfect fit and very balanced sound. In the app your able to tweak the sound to your liking as well as adjust the noise canceling and talk through features. These headphones also test for proper fitment to give the best listening experience. You can select your favorite assistant from Google, Alexa, and Siri. The buds themselves are touch sensitive. Within the app you can select what each bud will do when you touch them.
This past weekend I decided to put these to a full test while detailing my car on a windy day. I had noise canceling on and the volume all the way up. I was playing an album with mixed tracks. After a little over two hours the battery life dropped to 20 percent from fully charged. I was constantly moving and never really felt that the buds would fall out. I did have to readjust them every once in a while to squeeze them tightly into my ear canal. I didn’t get any interference from the 20mph winds or hear the buffer over my music. I experienced non stop interference free listening. I truly enjoyed listening to these and was so happy to have had them while working. After a while I forgot they were in my ears since they were so comfortable. I did adjust the sound more to my liking and was so pleased with the sound. Distortion free at full volume. I had taken a break for about 30 minutes and placed the buds back into the case. Fully charged and ready for a few more hours of hardcore listening.
The Live Free 2 TWS have 11mm drivers making the sound very full and lively. The active noise canceling keeps unwanted sound out and the adjustable talk through feature allows the right amount of sound through the buds. Phone calls sound super clear on both ends. The water resistant feature means I can wash and detail cars with these on. You can get 7 hours play time at moderate volume and another 28 hours utilizing the case for a total of 35 hours of play time. The buds are comfortable having oval tubes allowing less fatigue while having them in my ears. These are my go to buds for everyday listening. Ear buds have come a long way over the years and I was a fan of over the ear style headphones previously. These buds offer better sound and immersion than all of my over the ear headphones. Better features and they don’t compress or weigh down on my head. I am truly enjoying these ear buds. These are great!!!

Studio Quality Sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another great product from JBL!!! The Livefree2 earbuds are fantastic. Easy to use, navigation of the features are easily picked up. The charge on these things is phenomenal - 7 hours in the buds and 28 more hours from the case. These things practically disappear into your ear after a couple minutes of wearing, very comfortable, actually would forget I was wearing them if it weren't for the quality sound in my ears. Easy switch between ambient, noise cancelling and talk through with just a touch of your finger. Also easily sets up to Google or Alexa which is already built in.

These check all the boxes, simply incredible.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] OK, I can admit that I am a bluetooth earbud addict. I've tried many brands and styles. This set is the best sounding ear buds that I've had in a VERY long time. First off, I love how easy this was to pair with my phone (Android). Didn't have to do anything besides tap the prompt when they appeared on my screen. Also, this set finally uses the JBL headphone app the way I have wanted it to for a long time. You can tweak the EQ, change up the functions/taps on each ear bud, and the tap motion to use those functions is light and responsive. LOVE the noise cancelling feature, and the ability to be aware of surroundings. Having that flexibility is worth a ton to me. Super comfortable, comes with the usual Small/medium/large ear pads to custom fit, and they sit very comfortably in the ear without fatigue or pain. Phone calls were clear and everyone said I sounded like I was in the room. Super compact charger case as well. I really have no complaints at and again, the sound is exceptional. HIGHLY recommend.

Legitimately Impressed!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work primarily from home. All day, every day: video calls, presentations, and music listening - from the backyard, basement, and kitchen. These earbuds are AMAZING while connected to my MacBook Pro and iPhone 13! Out of the carton (nicely packed, I might add), the earbuds were charged. They connected easily and quickly to my hardware, are SUPER LIGHT, and have outstanding audio quality. The various noise control settings function well, and the tap controls are perfectly sensitive and quite responsive. I've used and abandoned a ton of Bluetooth earbud products, but this one is great! Unquestionably a keeper and one that will be used frequently.

Really nice upgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using happily using premium wireless earbuds for a few years now, so I was hesitant to believe these would be worth upgrading to. But after about a week’s worth of use, I’m a firm believer. First of all, these earbuds are much lighter. I didn’t think my previous earbuds were heavy at all, but these are significantly lighter, and thus more comfortable. I attended a Zoom conference for several hours and didn’t even notice I was wearing them.
The JBL app interface is also improved, another pleasant surprise. Within the app you can turn on/off noise cancellation, adjust the bass/treble, customize the controls, and test the fit of the earbuds. A cool new feature I noticed is “voice aware” which lets you control the amount of audio feedback you hear. I didn’t think I would need this feature, but I played around with it during my Zoom conference calls, and it’s a game changer. I also love that I have the option of voice prompts for turning features on/off. Again, this wasn’t a feature I ever knew I needed, but especially when toggling between noise cancellation, talk-through and ambient aware, I found that I really loved having verbal feedback instead of just a sound or beep.
My final comment is on the shape because I had conflicted feelings about it. At first I didn’t really like it, my first thought is that they were super slippery jelly beans. I had a hard time getting them quickly out of the case and into my ears. And trying to adjust them in my ears would set off the gestures. But after a day or two, I realized I just needed to get used to them. The slight curve in the shape is actually designed for holding them (duh). And the small shape actually mean that they fit really nicely inside my ear. They don’t stick out like crazy. I wore them on a long flight and was able to rest my head comfortably on a pillow without jabbing the earbuds into my head. I was very happy!
In conclusion, a really really nice set of premium earbuds. The amazing JBL sound is what you would expect. But it also adds a few thoughtful features that really impressed me and make them worth upgrading to.

Feature rich light weight headphones!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are excellent little headphones! The sound is typical for JBL with deep bass and crisp highs. They are very very light, which I like a lot. They are comfortable to wear. I really like the integration with the JBL Headphones app. This model has a feature that measures the fit of the headphones by playing some music and using the microphone to see if it hears it. I learned that one of my ear canals needs a smaller end than the other! These have ANC which works very well. I used it in presence of my loud motorcycle and it removed all of the harsh sound, but not all of the sound. I really like that these are able to sense when they are in my ear. They will stop playing when not in the ear. That definitely helps when I am listening to an audio book and have to take my headphone(s) out to chat with someone. It will pick back up as soon as I put it back in my ear. I do wish the case had some texture on the outside, because it is slick and I have dropped it a couple times. All in all, I would definitely recommend these to a friend!

My favorite earbuds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used these for 3 days and love them. Listening to music has been incredible and they do a great job at shutting out surrounding noise. These are smaller than others but thats a positive for me as they fit in my ears better than any other product. I've used them outside while doing yard work and on the track with no issues.

A very well rounded oval
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I saw these, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from them physically. I have struggled with JBL earbuds falling out in the past, like the Tour Pro+ TWS, and haven't had a good fit since the FREE X I have from a while back. The pill shape on these is exactly what my ears require! Perfect fit, and snug ANC. Absolutely love the sound on them, a little boost on the bass compared to a lot of others I have, which isn't bad. I prefer a flat response, but these don't hurt my ears and they are very wearable for extended periods. I really love the oval shape of the earbud itself as it fits my ears a lot better than the circular. I often find myself having to sort through tip sizes just to find a good fit, but these worked right out of the box.
The sound is solid! I'm on quite a few streaming services and I play local files as well. They are only SBC/AAC so don't expect any HiFi sound, but the CD quality is beautifully balanced. Expansive sound for little dudes, check out EPROM 'The Cat' or Lane 8 'Reviver' or Four Tet 'Insect Near Piha Beach'.
Very happy, will use until they're dead!

Small but powerful ear buds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the silver color of the ear buds and not the standard black or white options.
The case and buds overall are lightweight and easily portable. The sound quality is pretty good compared to some of the other JBL ear buds available. They have great bass and are louder than expected. I also like how you can tap or hold for commands. They charge pretty fast and hold a charge for a long time. That isn't anything new for JBL quality ear buds.You can also use one ear bud at a time and when you take it out of your ear, it automatically stops the music and start the music once you put it back into your ear. These also can be used in the JBL app which is convenient.

I love these earbuds!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these earbuds! They are the most comfortable, best sounding, and feature-packed I've ever used.
The oval tube design and 3 different size silicone tips help fit your ear canal perfectly. They're also lightweight and don't get hot with use like other earbuds. The tight fit with your ear canal also helps the sound quality. When noise canceling is turned on, it's almost like wearing earplugs. Ambient Aware takes a little getting used to since the earbud is passing ambient sound through, but it works well. Talk Through is the best way to converse with someone while wearing these earbuds. Unfortunately, the audio they were playing becomes silent and continues playing. I wish the JBL Headphone app had settings allowing you to adjust the amount of audio to hear in the background while Talk Through is activated.
Nevertheless, the sound these little earbuds produce is fantastic. Podcasts are crisp and clear. Songs heavy in bass rattle your spine. The clarity of the high highs and low lows are impressive. These earbuds are also extremely loud. I have never turned them up past 50% volume and usually listen to them at around 10% volume.
I really like the control features of these earbuds. Being able to pause/play, skip, turn on and off Noise Canceling/Ambient Aware, and use your favorite digital assistant all through tapping or holding the left or right earbud is intuitive. All of this can be done without using the JBL Headphone app. If you choose to install the app, you can update the earbud firmware, check the fit of the earbuds, and analyze your ear canal for optimal noise cancelation.
I would not hesitate to buy these earbuds; they're incredible!

Great wireless earbuds with google assist
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product while working around the house. The noise cancelling worked great while mowing. The bass and clarity is amazing for any music from rock to R&B. I was pleasantly surprised by the wireless charging but it's rarely needed with LONG battery time. Very pleased.
