What customers say about "Key Specs"

JBL Free X

The sound range is roomy and clear, with just enough bass to not be overbearing.
The 4-5 hour battery life is ample and I have only charged the case twice in 3 weeks.
The battery life and signal distance on these are good. Sound is good, but these seem to pickup my heartbeat really loud and it's distracting.
The frequency range is poor. It reminds me of1950"s mono speakers from an inexpensive record player.
The left earbud keeps dropping out. It does reconnect but it is annoying to have one channel suddenly disappear.

What customers say about "Features"

JBL Free X

They connect automatically once paired and I have experienced no Bluetooth cutouts. Everything works perfectly.
The fit is flexible for different ear sizes and the choice of silicon and/or rubber buds is very useful.
This product is simple to set up, has customizable sizes, good call quality and comfortable.
When I connect my phone, this JBL Bluetooth earphones always disconnect interrupt.
The only criticism is the lack of volume control means you have to keep your device accessible.

What customers say about "Power"

JBL Free X

They still hold a charge very well. From long distance runs to hours in the gym I’ve not had a problem with moisture.
The JBLs are comfortable, offer good range and battery life and just make talking on the phone and listening to music and podcasts more enjoyable.
Battery Charges Quick and Last Forever. They came with adjustable ear cushion to fit my ear and not fall out as much.
Battery life is not good as BOSE I get maybe 2 1/2 hours . Phone talk quality really really SUCKS!
Battery is incredibly poor, lucky for it last 3 hours. Sound is decent but not that money worth.
