JBL Headphones 4+

Lovely balanced sound with lots of options to enhance your listening experience. Small and lightweight, can be worn for hours without ear fatigue. Deep bass and mids are clear and bright. Forgot mine in my pockets and washed my jeans without being aware of it. Thought I’d lost them, only to find them about 3 weeks later and never expected they’d work again. Decided to give it a go and charged them, only to put them on and they were as good as when I first bought them. I was blown away by their durability and my wife couldn’t believe it and got one for herself. Truly one of my most impressive collection of earbuds/ headphones and I am talking a collection that includes the Bose Quiet Comfort 2, Bose Sports QC earbuds, Nuraphones, Nuratrue, the B&O H5 and the H9, and the Sony XM4. I will confidently recommend the JBL and ironically, it’s my first ever JBL product and it’s good. But of course we feel the need to own the high end brands more for prestige and class than actual performance. Not saying these are better than the ones I already have, but they get the job done.

I bought these to use on holiday not realising they had noise cancellation at the time of purchase due to their price. They were able to block out background noise on the flight with ease. Sound quality is excellent as is battery life. They’re also waterproof so good when on the beach or by the pool or at the gym. I’d definitely recommend them.

Really love this app and it is a necessity for getting the most out of my JBL Reflect Flow Pros.
The ‘seal test’ and EQ adjustment are great features and being able to change the gestures is a must.

The only downside to the app is not being able to set up your own fully customised and personalised gesture profile.

I rarely use Siri and would love to be able to change the long press to toggling the ANC on/off.

Unfortunately, I have to go into the app to do this if I already have one ear for play/pause and one for volume. This can be a little cumbersome, especially when the app occasionally fails to locate my headphones and I have to close/reopen a couple times before it recognises them.

Until they allow users to create their own gesture profiles, this app will always be lacklustre and really limits the touch function of their headphones.

As a side note, I sometimes swap between connecting my heaphones and other devices which means I set to anticipate the profile I want due to being unable to change the gestures unless connected to my phone. Not a massive issues but definitely a bit of a hang up
