Review 1: ★★★★★

“The product is great. So great I got one for each member of my family and we all ditched the Apple Pods. By far the best for the price out there. Although, after 3 months of use one of the units stopped connecting. It cannot be found on Bluetooth and the headphones make beeping sounds when pressed but they will not pair in pairing mode (blue LED's flashing in case, etc.) in any way. We have 2 other such devices and they work fine but this one just suddenly went off the skids. No problem. I got on the chat with someone at the JBL website and they helped troubleshoot. Since it was not resetting or working, they are sending me a new pair once I return the one that stopped working.”

Review 2: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in the United Kingdom:

“This is a decent pair of midrange earbuds that rises slightly above the ordinary thanks to very good noise isolation and excellent bass. The buds themselves are quite comfortable, a little larger than normal but well-shaped to fill my ears and physically block outside noise. I don't usually struggle with comfort so maybe I'm the wrong person to ask, but I imagine that if you find most earbuds uncomfortable these may feel a little too large for your ears.
The overall sound quality is about what I'd expect at this price point - very good but short of spectacular - but the bass impresses me. It's difficult to achieve good bass in earbuds, and very easy to screw up, but these things manage the job very well. All in all these are solid. They're not life changing, but at this price they're impressive.”

Review 3: ★★★☆☆

“I find it almost impossible to follow their instructions. maybe it’s because I am not tech savvy but I can’t find out how to pair with anything. and their instructions are hard to follow. I will need to get online instructions. Noise cancelling is great doesn’t get rid of everything but darn close.”

Review 4: ★★☆☆☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“I love JBL, decent sound quality, but not very happy with the charger making this awful ringing. The noise cancellation also only works in one ear. I bought these headphones 2 months ago and they started to malfunction about a week ago. I use them for in the gym and at work. Nothing extreme. Never submerged in water. What’s going on.”

Review 5: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in the Singapore:

“They have a shiny sleek look, works as they should. Sometimes when I’m adjusting them to fit in my ear the control buttons are sensitive. I still don’t know how to adjust the volume. Overall, I don’t regret buying them.”

Review 6: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in the Canada:

“I really like bass so these earbuds really sound good. The ANC is a little weak but I can deal with it. Sometimes they may move out of place but not much. The only real problem I have is a couple of times they would automatically disconnect from my phone and I would have to repair them to my phone. Otherwise, I usually switch between these and my liberty 3 pros but I use these more. I got them on sale for 75 bucks so I'm not complaining much.”

“The headphones work, are light, and do not make my ears hurt. The noise canceling is great. But the battery lasts 3 hours and that is with or without noise canceling on. Every day without fail - at the 3 hours mark they turn off.”

“I was looking for replacement earbuds and found these. I knew JBL was a good brand so I bought these. I love them! So comfortable and easy to use. I love that the ambient aware is easy to turn on and off. And you tap them to pause or unpause your music. Would purchase these again.”

Review 10: ★☆☆☆☆

Reviewed in the Canada:

“This is the absolute worst headphones I've ever purchased. The mic is horrible. When I speak to people, they say that they can hear background noise louder than they can hear me. Very frustrating when I'm outside or in the gym and someone calls me. Thought the product was defective and switched it out twice. It wasn't defective, it just sucked. Please save your money and buy another product. I wish I did and now I'm past the return window and stuck with this.”

Based on the positive and critical reviews from users of these earbuds, we can be informed that the overall performance of these earbuds is attractive, but there are some issues. The noise cancellation of these earbuds is imperfect and the battery life is not as long as the product parameters. In addition, these earbuds are not durable, some users said that they broke after only two weeks of use. There is no need to waste money on them.

Therefore, if you have a requirement for a headphone that you can use in your daily life, we would recommend bone conduction headphones, especially the Wissonly Hi Runner.

Recommended Reasons：

Wissonly is a brand known for its technology and the fastest growing brand in recent times. Their R&D team are all technical experts in the field of bone conduction headphones. As early as 2012, they started to develop bone conduction headphones that don't hurt ears. With advanced bone conduction vibration technology, they have been recommended by the majority of otologists!

What impresses me most about Wissonly Hi Runner is their excellent sound quality. They are equipped with a large-size directional bone conduction vibration unit, which increases the effective sounding area by 35% through structural optimization, thus making the sound range wider and the sound more stereoscopic and shocking. At the same time, they have also improved the problem of sound quality loss caused by low sound transmission efficiency of traditional bone conduction headphones.

Together with world-class audio tuner, they have customized an exclusive sound quality output scheme for Wissonly Hi Runner headphones in the world's top tuning laboratory. More than 20 audio tuners have been adjusted for 85,036 times, finally showing a really good sound quality which belongs to bone conduction.

The body of the Wissonly Hi Runner is made of memory titanium, which can self-adjust the contact area to ensure a good wearing experience of headphones and take into account more users. Plus, with a strong battery life, you can listen to music continuously for 10 hours, which is suitable for hours and hours outdoor exercising.

As the core component of the product, the headphones plays a key role in the product experience. Wissonly Hi Runner is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 chip, and the Bluetooth connection is very stable. It also has 32G of built-in memory, and it also supports IPX8 waterproof, which can even be used for diving.
