Review 1: ★★★★★

Reviewed in the United States:

“I was sketched out after I ordered than read reviews of people complaining about how they sneak ‘renewed’ into title . However they came looking shiny new and sound great and fit perfect , renewed or not I’m happy with them , that being said I haven’t looked how much they cost brand new I’m not sure if it would’ve been more expensive or not but I’ve been using them for the day for gym and am pretty satisfied so far.”

Review 2: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“They are nice looking and lightweight and the sound quality is pretty good. They took a little getting used to as I was using earbuds previously. I use them when I'm working out in the gym, and they perform just fine.”

Review 3: ★★★☆☆

Reviewed in Mexico:

“When I decided to buy them for gym it was because I had the guarantee of “Renewed”, which gave me confidence in the quality they could offer me, as well as the reliability that they go through certain filters. After about 5 days the volume up and down buttons stopped working and the ANC is turned off and activated only (I realize this because it beeps when you turn it on/off) Very bad experience with ‘Amazon Renewed’.”

Review 4: ★★☆☆☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“These headphones were nice when they were working for gym. the noise cancellation was pretty amazing. however every time I went to charge the headphones they just wouldn’t charge. I contacted the seller and they sent me a replacement and the same issue persists. returning for the second time, but they will not send me a return label. disappointed as I was excited to use these headphones for exercising in the gym.”

Review 5: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in Mexico:

“Hearing aids are good, sound quality is decent. They got me with a defect in the power button while working out in the gym and it wouldn't let me turn them off, but I restored them and fixed. I hope I don't get any more trouble. Noise cancellation is bad.”

Review 6: ★★★★★

Reviewed in Canada:

“I love my new JBL live 650btnc! Comfortable for hours of working out in the gym. An incredible sound (being used to JBL I'm not disappointed).

I enjoy the big discount at 169ninstead of 299. It replaces my JBL e45bt which was very good but nothing comparable. In addition to the JBL headphone application allows a more precise adjustment via a 100% editable equalizer.

I have my JBL endurance peak for the gym because those seen that it covers tantalize the ears make that one can get hot more stiffly. But they are not designed for sport so this is not important. As always we do not deceive it with JBL.”

Review 7: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“These headphone feel great for gym, built well, easy to control and sound very different but amazing.

I listen to a lot of music and play instruments through these (v-drums, e-drums, electronic drums, guitar, etc) and they almost beat out my $400 Bose. I think they do as far as the quality of sound and the feel.

When playing or listening it feels like you are at a concert venue or like I'm playing an acoustic drum set. It gives me a lot more options because each change. I make to each cymbal or drum head gives it a fuller bodied sound and a uniqueness that other headphones haven't been able to capture from the $20-$600 range. It had a nice amount of bass as well, however, I have to turn it down a little because I worry it will burst the headphones.

Over all if you like the sound and feel of live music and play instruments and you are looking for an affordable pair or NC/ANC headphones then these are a great start. Also, other newer, NC/ANC brands like the SONY and Beats have a HORRID lag and these JBL LIVE headphones have ZERO LAG. I have about 4 pairs I like to go between and these have been added to part of the collection. Worth giving them a shot.”

“I ordered it from Colombia, it came to me in 8 days from the moment I ordered it. About the hearing aids were in perfect condition, like new ones, with all their accessories. All working and excellent sound quality for gym. I didn't have to pay anything at customs so people in Colombia can be calm, everything perfect.”

Review 9: ★★★★★

Reviewed in the United States:

“Everything feels premium. Headphones look awesome for gym. They are surprisingly light. Sound may seem just ok at first, but once you use the app, you'll be more than satisfied. Noise cancelling is good enough. Active noise cancelling makes a big difference. Ear cups may be small for some people.”

Review 10: ★☆☆☆☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“I've purchased and returned 2 sets of these refurbished headphones and the quality was disappointing. I had JBL live headphones for 2 years before they were accidentally broken, thus me buying these for gym. I suggest purchasing new instead. Clearing the previous issues didn't get properly fixed here.”

Combining the reviews from users of these JBL Live 650 BT NC wireless headphones for gym, we can analyze them and learn that most of the users are satisfied with the overall performance of these headphones, but there are still a small number of users who have given them a critical rating. Because they find the quality of the headphones a bit disappointing, they break after a few months of use, and after-sales service of JBL is not considerate enough to justify spending about $130 on these wireless headphones.

In the wireless headphone market, we can find headphones that are comparable in price to the Live 650 BT NC wireless headphones used for gym, but with better performance, and the Wissonly Hi Runner is an attractive option.

The reasons for the recommendation are as follows:

When Wissonly bone conduction headphones started crowdfunding online , I started to pay attention to them. Later, I saw on some online forums that all otologists were recommending them, so I bought it for my daily workouts in the gym. This Hi Runner is their flagship product, and its overall function is perfect during exercising for gym.

This headphone uses the latest research results of Wissonly Lab. It effectively increases the vibration area of the vibrator by 35%, while optimizing the sound transmission direction, making the sound range wider and the music more spatial. The brand claims to reach the HI-FI sound quality.

My own actual test shows that the sound quality is very close to the HI-FI level, but it doesn't reach this level indeed. Of course, the current sound quality is satisfactory enough for me while exercising for gym.

Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphones are also equipped with a new Bluetooth 5.0 chip, which has stronger anti-interference ability, and can easily cope with various outdoor complex scenes or indoor activities in the gym, so as to ensure that the good mood during exercise will not be disturbed by disconnection.

Hi Runner performs well in terms of comfort. It's very light, less than 30g, and you don't even feel like you're carrying it when you wear it for working out in the gym. The headphone's body is made of titanium alloy, which makes it fit well. You don't need to worry about falling off during exercising for gym.

The stable connection also brings ultra-low delay performance. Listening to songs, chasing dramas and playing games meet all the daily demands for headphones. What's more, it has 32GB of built-in memory, which can store 5,000 songs, which allows you to enjoy music without your mobile phone when you are outdoors or in gyms.

The waterproof of Wissonly Hi Runner needs special mention. It reaches IPX8 grade, which means that you can carry it under water for 20 meters and still use it normally. This is crazy!
