Affordable Quality Earbuds
Hello! Speaker lover here. I recently bought this a week ago and received them recently. Tested them out.If you bought these because of bass and you love bass, the bass selections that are already on the app donât work at all and only add just about 5 percent extra bass if you chose one.Youâd have to play with the EQ in order to get the bass to work. Since I love speakers a lot and find them fun to use and enjoy the bass part. Iâve messed with the EQ on my phone and got the bass where itâs strong and sounds good but also to where you can still hear it.I also found out that clear to the right on EQ, if you wanted to hear more of the voice, then move the label 4K up higher. It will decrease the bass by a small percentage but still give you that advantage to listen to the bass and still hear the voice louder.Lowering the 4K will add more bass and lower the voice.Iâve provided screenshots of what my configurations are on the EQ and what my general settings are for these earbuds from JBL.My final review is the color is cool, the case is well durable, the earbuds themself are comfortable in your ears, they work well and have a high volume sound. They last a good amount of hours as well which is a big + for me.I did notice someone had posted a review regarding the EQ, Iâve used their EQ style and it flattens the bass and does not give you the bass you want. Otherwise, hopefully this EQ I set up works for others!

Not the greatest bass response but amazing battery life
Pretty much what everyone else has said audiophonically they’re a little lackluster they sound good and if you squeeze them really tight into your ear you’ll get adequate base response but they’re nowhere near Studio Beats let’s say but they’re a lot less money and the battery life is amazing and they’re really comfortable and they’re good enough if I lose them I’ll replace them and I won’t cry about it they’re affordable

Top quality audio after a few adjustments
This review is about the audio features of the JBL Vibe Beam earbuds.I’m an audio engineer so audio quality is very important to me. As such, I use wired connections as much as possible to maintain the integrity of the audio signal. However, many newer consumer-level products no longer have audio jacks, so I finally decided to invest in some wireless earbuds as a backup to the other earphones and headphones that I use. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money as I didn’t foresee myself using this product very much, and since this is my first foray into wireless audio earphones, if they were just ok or they broke after a while, then I wouldn’t feel too bad about the little money that I spent. Also, I wanted to focus on finding wireless earbuds with excellent audio quality first as I already have an excellent high-end bluetooth earpiece for cell phone use, and I wouldn’t be using this product as a bluetooth headset for my phone.After doing much research, I chose the JBL Vibe Beam’s as they were at my price point, I’m familiar with JBL products, and I could reasonably expect that they were likely deliver the high audio quality that I’ve come to expect from JBL products. In my research, I read reviews that complained about the harshness of the high end with high frequency instruments like cymbals or the lack of bass, so I was a bit concerned.When I received and started listening to my JBL Vibe Beams I understood what people were talking about. However, to correct the issues, first, one must have a great fit of the earbuds in their ears. I’m fortunate, in that with the medium tips that were already installed on the Vibe Beams, they made a snug fit in my ears right out of the box. If you find that these earbuds do not fit well in your ears it might be worthwhile to invest in a separate set of variable sized earbud tips, or try tips from one of your other well-fitting earbuds, if you have them. Once the earbuds were seated properly in my ear, that took care of the poor bass issue. (I have not worn them long-term so I can’t speak to them falling out of my ear, as others have mentioned, but they seem to stay in pretty well.)For the misaligned frequency response issue, fortunately, the JBL Headphone app that you can install on your cell phone includes a ten-band graphic equalizer that you can use to make adjustments to the frequency response of your earbuds. After listening to several of the reference tracks I use to check new audio equipment or my mixes against, I found that the only adjustments needed were carving out some of the upper midrange and making a very slight boost in the bottom end of the lower frequency spectrum. I’ve included a screenshot of my EQ curve which I based on the Bass preset in the JBL app. You can’t tell as there is no dB scale on the side, but I needed to cut or boost by only 1-2 dB. I find that my new EQ curve gives a more balanced frequency response than what came out of the box, and matches up well against the reference speaker system and headphones that I use for my audio mixing and mastering work. I invite you to use my EQ curve as a starting point and adjust as sounds best to you.I also read reviews complaining about the apparent lack of volume of the Vibe Beams. I connected the JBL’s to several different sources (phone, computer, TV, MP3 player, etc.) and I found that the overall maximum volume (with limiter off) is relatively lower than wired speaker versions. However, the input to the JBL’s is relative to the maximum output of the source itself. I found that the loudest level I could get came from my iPhone and the lowest level output came from my MP3 player (which probably doesn’t offer much output anyway being a tiny portable unit). As a comparison, I did a side-by-side test of the JBL’s with my wife’s AirPods (2nd gen). What I found was that the JBL’s offered an almost identical audio output level as the AirPods with any of the sources I used so that confirmed that the output level of the JBL’s has more to do with the source (and the source material as some songs are mastered at a lower volume than other songs) than with the earbuds themselves. During my test, I put the JBL’s at their maximum volume output (one tap at a time on the left bud to raise the volume). Also, I noticed during my testing that the AirPods had a pleasing midrange sound perfect for listening to podcasts or watching video, but the JBL’s excelled at full-range sound on the bottom and top ends of the frequency spectrum which made them sound much better over all and well-suited for music or listening to explosive action scenes in movies.And speaking of movies, the JBL app has a switchable audio/video mode. The video mode reduces the latency of the delivery of audio against picture, so there isn’t a noticeable lip-sync issue with dialogue in a scene. However, there is a slight degradation in the audio quality of ‘video’ mode versus ‘audio’ mode, but you will have to make the determination if the change in audio quality is acceptable to you.As a side note, I included a picture of the inner side of the earbuds. The ‘L’ and ‘R’ designations on the earbuds are tiny as you can see, plus they are the same color as the earbuds themselves, so they are very hard to see. I wish JBL had made the L/R letters bigger or at least made them a different color so they would be easier to see.The pairing process was fairly easy with all my bluetooth-capable devices and the range was good, only dropping out after walking approximately 60-70 feet from the source. There was one momentary dropout during my listening but that could be due to my wife using her AirPods the same time as I was using the JBL’s.I can’t speak to the other features of the JBL Vibe Beams as I don’t intend to use them, but as far as audio quality goes, with just a few minor tweaks, these bluetooth earbuds can go from sounding like a $50 pair of earbuds to a $500 pair of reference earphones.

My cranial audio input ports are pleased
Me: Ooo. Look at this dealâ¦Also me: Thatâs really cheap. Theyâre probably trashMe: But theyâre JBLs⦠They canât be that bad.Also me: But theyâre really cheapâ¦Me: But theyâre JBLsâ¦.All kidding aside, I was extremely surprised with these ear buds. I have an old pair of JBL Endurance Peak ONES and Iâve used them so much, they have started falling apart. I was apprehensive about these Vibes because they are so affordable, but my gosh. They sound just as good as my older JBL EPs, without the weight.Theyâre very easy to set up. Very comfortable. I like the matte black finish on the ones I got. One thing that also caused some apprehension when the prospect of the JBL app on my phone⦠I donât particularly like installing programs I donât NEED (and you really donât need it for the buds to function) but this app comes with an equalizer – that works. Youâll have to play around with it to get it just right for your tastes, but it works.For the price, you can not go wrong with these ear buds.Update: Itâs been almost a month with these buds, and Iâm still thrilled. I use them while doing yard work, specifically weed whacking and pressure washing, and they block enough of the sound while providing excellent volume. I live in Florida, so I get really sweaty working. These things havenât had any issue with moisture, even mist from pressure washing.My only complaint, and itâs not really the budâs fault, is they slip out of my ears if Iâm moving around a lot, but it does take a while. Iâve always needed bigger tips, so I canât fault the buds.

Muy buen sonido, muy buena calidad y muy buena relación costo beneficio

Se ven muy bonitos, el material se siente mucho más frágil que el material de unos AirPods. Funcionan muy bien, ninguna queja.
Andrea –
Me encantó el color. El sonido es bueno (no de muy alta calidad pero bien). Cumplen su función, la app funciona bien, ajustan bien. Me siento conforme con mi compra:)

As some of the reviews noted, the bass on the ear buds is underwhelming – even after tweaking them with the app when I compared them to my non-wireless ones.Edit: I take back what I said about the bass. It turns out it highly depends on how good your source of Bluetooth is. I was using a dongle on my PC and while the sound was ok, but the bass was nonexistent. On my iPad 10/iPhone 8, the bass was about as good as my wired earbuds ( not better, but comparable)Battery life – no issue of them dying on me during everyday work meetings/workConnectivity – pretty reliable for up to about 8-10 meters. Once you got beyond that the audio starts to get warped or choppy in between. In a home environment this is good enough to get around.Handling – If you tend to have dry hands, it’s a bit of a struggle to get these out sometimes. What makes it tricky is trying the grab them without touching the back panel as it acts as a button. Personally, do wish the touch-sensitive area was smaller to allow better handling without accidentally triggering the “button”.Connectivity – switching between phone and work PC, not really an issue. Once paired, it does connect to the paired device reliably.Sound/Reliability – aside from an occasional (1/15min) split second where the sound gets warped, these play sound back without issue.Microphone: I recorded some meetings and my voice playback sounded pretty good actually. I thought this would be a drawback, but the recording quality is reliable – sounds better than most budget headset/webcams (like 7/10)Fit: Feels a bit loose, but actually doesn’t fall out which took some time getting used to. Walking with these was not an issue, but jogging I wouldn’t try.
