Review 1: ★★★★★

“I bought these to use at work since my over-the-ear Bose QC35s are just too big to wear all day and are bulky for the kind of work I do where I might have to place my head in tight spaces to see what I'm doing with my hands.

For the price, these sound like a much more expensive earbud set than this. The bass is more than I expected and it's pretty solid. The battery life is very good and lasts an entire shift at work without charging, although I'm not wearing them for the whole 7 hours of battery life. I really like the ambient noise and talk thru features so I can still hear what's going on around me and talk to my coworkers without removing the earbuds. I'm going to buy another set to keep at home.”

Review 2: ★★★★☆

“I love the fit of these buds. I got these because the Jabra Elite 75t's wouldn't stay in my ears. Sounds quality is also great. The touch controls are a bit tricky to use while running but I've never tried any other touch control buds so this might just be a me thing. I would prefer a physical button like on the Bose Sound Sport buds. This wasn't a deal breaker but something to note. The noise cancelling doesn't seem to work at all. I turn it on and off and notice no difference. I just wanted good sounding buds to wear at the gym so it doesn't bother me, but if noise cancelling is something you need, these buds are not for you.”

Review 3: ★★★☆☆

“They're good earbuds, but the functions don't do as good as my old pair of semi wireless JBLs did. They also don't stay in my ears quite as well. I had a pair of Anker Soundcores that had longer battery life, much easier to use buttons/functionality, and just as good sound quality. I only tried these after losing one on an airplane.”

Review 4: ★★☆☆☆

“I bought these ear buds as a replacement for my previous JBL ear buds which are no longer available. These are difficult to charge as they don't seat properly into the charger. Plus, the charger doesn't show when BOTH are charging (separate indicator lights for left and right). Buyer beware when buyer these ear buds. For as much as I paid, I think JBL went cheap with the charger!”

Review 5: ★★★★☆

“Heard noise while getting out of my vehicle turned around and seen clam shell underneath vehicle where they had fallen out of my pocket. Shell was closed so I reached down picked them up and put them back in my pocket. After leaving the gas station, went home and opened them up and one was missing going back now to see if by miracle it is still there and not crushed. Its happened before at work as well except both ear buds went all over. Magnets suck on lid and ear buds, other than that I Love Them!

Update: found it! I’ve attached the picture. So I can say these things are not Tire Proof!”

Review 6: ★★★☆☆

“They WERE working great. The sound was really good. The controls in the app were awesome as well. But my left ear started acting up. It wouldn’t charge anymore at 1st. Then it did change again. Then that same one just stopped working. So I returned them. I was really enjoying them. And I’m thinking of getting them again. Because I think I may have just gotten a definitive pair. I’m only doing this just in case it maybe part of a pattern with others.”

Review 7: ★★★★☆

“I've had these earbuds about four months now and I think that they work better than I expected.

Pros:

The sound quality is rich and customizable, even with just one bud in you still get a full sound.

I like that the case is magnetic and holds the buds in securely.

The battery life is pretty good as long as you have the case nearby for a quick charge.

One of the earbuds dropped out into a sink full of water and I grabbed it right out, dried it off, put it back in and it was playing like nothing happened. VERY waterproof in this instance.

Cons:

The fit is a bit off, even though I've tried different combinations of the earpieces. I couldn't imagine running with these in, because they have a tendency to work their way out of my ear and if you're not looking for where they fall you can lose them.”

Review 8: ★★★☆☆

“1st impression: this is A LOT bigger than I anticipated. I thought they would have been smaller and neater than the JBL endurance race TWS, but its not, and its not more comfortable either.

I'm convinced these are made for people with large ears. It takes a lot of fiddling around to get them in right.

They don't always sit right in the case either, I find myself adjusting them to make sure they're charging. Additionally the case led light does not come off when the buds are seated in there, not that big of a deal but I wish it would turn off at least when the buds are fully charged.

Sound quality etc were fine but physically it could be better. I'm just glad I got these on sale and didn't pay the full price, I would've been disappointed.”

Review 9: ★★★★★

“This is my son’s third set of earbuds. The first set was a cheap knock off brand and they were ok, lasted under a year. The second set were Apple AirPods, which he liked, but they were expensive and got stolen at school after a few months. This set is perhaps the best middle ground. He loves the sound quality, noise canceling, and the variety of features (like being able to quickly adjust if he needs to have a conversation). I loved the price and the fact that they will be less targeted to be stolen.”

Review 10: ★☆☆☆☆

“I was excited to receive these JBL earbuds but that was short lived. Opened the box and charged them immediately. Took them with me the next day to work. I listened to 2-3 songs and my right bud was dead. Had trouble charging it and then when it did charge, it died within minutes. Returning. Back to looking for a pair of earbuds for my its bitchy sized ears that will hopefully stay in.”

By analyzing reviews form users of these sports headphones, we can conclude that although users recognize these headphones for their affordable price and smooth sound quality, it doesn't prevent users from discovering problems with them. Their size is too small, which makes them unfriendly to users with larger ear canals, and they will easily fall out. In addition, their quality is poor compared to other brands of headphones, and the charging device is also inferior. 

Compared to these JBL Reflect Mini NC true wireless sport headphones, we would recommend you invest about $100 in a more practical and durable headphone to make your money well spent, and we recommend the Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphones.

Recommended reasons are as follows:

The design team of Wissonly bone conduction headphones started to research bone conduction acoustics as early as 2012. Their technical accumulation in the field of bone conduction is very good, and they are a team that is good at technology.

Wissonly Hi Runner adopted Wissonly 3.0 technology to reduce sound leakage in bone conduction headphones. They reduced the sound transmission from the bone vibration unit directly to the air through the completely closed design of the body of headphones.

They also used high-quality cushioning materials to minimize the vibration of the body, thus reducing the sound leakage by more than 90%. I did a test, turned on Hi Runner, adjusted the volume to 70%, and within a distance of 1m, I couldn't hear any sound leakage at all.

This kind of sound leakage reduction performance has been well received by users since Wissonly released the sound leakage reduction  technology. This technical scheme is the best leak-proof among bone conduction headphones at present.

The headphones’ body of Wissonly Hi Runner is made of memory titanium, which can self-adjust the contact area, ensuring a good wearing experience of headphones at any time, taking into account more users with different head circumference.

Hi Runner can be said to be very sincere in configuration. It is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 chip, which makes the connection more stable, and can realize fast connection and switching of multiple devices. Built-in 32G memory can store 5000 songs.

When you go out for a run, you can enjoy music without your mobile phone. The battery life is also very good, and it can be played continuously for more than 10 hours at normal volume, which is good for me, because I go out for outdoor sports on weekends, and I often go out for a whole day.
