Review 1: ★★★★★

Reviewed in the United States:

“In 3 years these headphones have survived being dropped in the pacific ocean, the gulf of mexico, lake superior, 2 motorcycle crashes, falling 7 stories. Im pretty sure ill run out bones to break before I break these. And even 3 years later a charge lasts me all 8 hours of maxed out music, the case still lasts 72+ between charges if they arent used.”

Review 2: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in the United Kingdom:

“Life I mentioned in the headline these earbuds have battery life and the application setting features are okay, but the sound quality does not rival my AirPods Pro that connect my iPhone 14 Pro Max. Sometimes they randomly cut-off and on for a brief second while walking. They also don’t synchronize to my phone, but that’s an easy fix by placing in the box and then removing them again. Overall, I paid $100 for these on sale and they’re worth that for me to keep them for work, trips, etc. I’d give them an overall 3.5 out of 5 stars.”

Review 3: ★★★☆☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“First, these are very good earbuds. the multipoint connect is great. fit well. etc. However, battery life even when first purchased is not awesome. with consistent use they will not last more than 4 hours, however the standby battery life is very good. Additionally - the microphone and sound quality has also degraded over time. I purchased mine in September of last year and the connection has degraded to the point that I'm looking for a new set. Again, these are great, just be aware they don't really have staying power.”

Review 4: ★★☆☆☆

Reviewed in the Canada:

“I purchased these in January of 2023 and the sound quality and connectivity are top notch. After seven months and usage every day, the left Bud volume dropped dramatically to where I can barely hear anything at Max volume. I tried cleaning it and resetting the connection and the left bud is pretty much useless. Besides that they are great buds of both work as they should.”

Review 5: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“Great product, you'll be hard pressed to find a better pair of noise canceling earphones at the price. Pros: great sound quality, easy to understand tap features for changing you song, changing listening modes, ect. Cons: I only have two cons, 1:I wish they made the charging case out of a stronger material, I haven't had any problems with it yet but it's a softer plastic, 2: when wearing the earbuds for a while the ergonomics of the bud will make your ear hurt. I've found taking them out for a bit helps, but for long usage make sure you use the right tip for your ear.”

Review 6: ★★★☆☆

Reviewed in the Japan:

“I read lots of reviews of this model and compared it with Apple airpods. This seemed like the better choice. It's a good product but I don't find it very useful because the earpieces don't fit in my ears. They come with multiple sizes, but the ones that allow them to fit cause my ears to chafe and the next size down doesn't fit. I had some samsung ear pods before these that fit great and even though they're older technology I plan to buy them again because these simply don't fit.”

Review 7: ★★★★☆

Reviewed in the Singapore:

“I want to give it five stars, but the only reason I can’t is because of compatibility. If you have an iPhone, do not expect all of the benefits of hands-free. On the good not, the app that goes with the headphones is a major plus. I can edit sounds for the equalizer. The headphones are very comfortable, and low profile.”

Review 8: ★★★☆☆

Reviewed in the Canada:

“I don't know much about reviewing earbuds but I do enjoy the fit and sound quality. The issue I had is that they worked for about 4-5 hrs out of the box then suddenly stopped playing music through them and instead defaulted to the phone speaker. Issue lasted for about 25 minutes. I tried disconnecting, placing in charging case, and using different apps. The fix occurred when I received a phone call after that all the audio started coming from the earbuds again. May update and possibly return later if it losses connection again.”

Review 9: ★★★★★

Reviewed in the United Kingdom:

“The battery on these things last forever! I only have to charge mine once every few days and I use them pretty regularly throughout the day. They have a nice looking design and fit very well in the ear. The case is very small compared to most bluetooth earbuds and pretty drop resistant. I can attest to their claims of being waterproof (resistant), I accidentally dropped one of the earbuds in a kiddie pool and I took it out, let it air dry and it worked fine.”

Review 10: ★☆☆☆☆

Reviewed in the United States:

“I had no idea this was even a possibility and I’m sure it’s just a tiny percentage of the population but I thought I should report it so people would be able to identify the issue sooner than I did. The day I stopped using them was the day I stopped having symptoms. The symptoms didn’t start the first day of using them however, seems like it was after a build up of several days using them while outside gardening for many hours. I believe the Active Noise Cancelling somehow confused my inner ear. Too bad because they sounded not great.”

Through the above review of the actual use of users, we can see that most users are quite satisfied with the JBL Live Free 2 TWS wireless earbuds, but there are still some shortcomings, such as the high price but poor performance, as well as playback of audio is always intermittent.

In the wireless earphones market, there are also more high cost performance headphones with similar performance and better sound quality to the JBL Live Free 2 TWS. If you need a pair of practicalheadphones that suit you well, we would recommend bone conduction headphones more. For example, the Wissonly Hi Runner.

Reasons for Recommendation:

Wissonly is the brand with the best experience among the bone conduction headphones I have used this year. It is one of the best in terms of sound quality, wearing experience, configuration, etc., and performs well in terms of product quality and hearing protection effect.

Wissonly Hi Runner has excellent sound quality, and it adopts directional vibration unit, which can increase the vibration area by 35% compared with common bone conduction headphones, reduce the loss of bone conduction sound transmission, and make the sound more shocking and powerful. Its anti-sound-leakage performance is also excellent.I have actual tested shows that when the volume is turned on at 70%, I can't hear its sound at a distance of about 2 meters.

The body of Wissonly Hi Runner is made of high-tech and low-sensitivity silica gel, which contains no chemical components to avoid allergy. It feels as smooth as baby's skin, even if it is worn for a long time, it won't be uncomfortable. Its overall frame is made of adjustable aerospace-grade titanium steel material, which is resistant to bending and wear firmly.

Wissonly Hi Runner have very high product parameters. It is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 chip to make the connection more stable. It has IPX8 waterproof rating, and it can also be used for diving.
