I’ve had these ear buds for about a month. I’ve been using for music and watching movies. I’ve found the sound quality is amazing. Great for any types of music I’ve tried lots. Audio is also very clear. They are loud, I did a comparison to another brand and the volume was louder in the other more expensive brand. They were very easy to set up fast. No messing around with apps on phone if you don’t want to. And they work with any brand phone easily. They are controlled by the lovely little case. Also by touching the ear buds. I prefere using the case to control them than my phone. The case is super cool and has many features. I didn’t get to use all the features as so many. It is very fast charging which is great and as JBL have said super long battery life. Noise cancellation is very good. And ambient aware good too. All in all for the price and features that you get I think these air buds are very good. I would definately recommend the brand 2nd pair I have had with JBL and they don’t disapoint.

JBL Live Buds 3: Budget-Friendly Sound Experienc

JBL Live Buds 3 offer a solid audio experience at a reasonable price point. These earbuds deliver clear, balanced sound with a slight emphasis on bass, making them suitable for a variety of genres. The battery life is impressive, allowing for multiple days of listening on a single charge. Comfort is a key factor when it comes to earbuds, and the Live Buds 3 don't disappoint. The ergonomic design ensures a snug fit, even during extended wear. The touch controls are intuitive and responsive, making it easy to adjust volume, skip tracks, or activate voice assistants. While the sound quality is generally good, some users may find the bass to be a bit overpowering at times, particularly in bass-heavy tracks. Additionally, the noise cancellation could be more effective, especially in noisy environments. However, considering the price, these are minor drawbacks. I love the case, the screen offers a ton of features and being touch enabled i don't have to pull my phone out to change tracks. Overall, the JBL Live Buds 3 are a great choice for budget-conscious consumers seeking reliable sound quality and comfortable fit. If you're looking for a pair of earbuds that offer good value without breaking the bank, the Live Buds 3 are definitely worth considering.

JBL is known for its signature sound with punchy bass and clear mids and highs. The Live Buds 3 deliver all the way. Sound is clear and few different options of the bass are perfect for me. Noise Cancellation this JBL wireless earbuds come with Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology to help reduce ambient noise - I absolutely love this. This makes huge different when on the train or working out. Battery Life JBL earbuds typically offer decent battery life, both in the earbuds themselves and with the charging case. Expect around 5-8 hours on a single charge, with the case providing additional charges. Comfort and Fit - I prefer this smaller ones as I often listen when in bed. Touch Controls and Voice Assistant Integration .this wireless earbuds come with touch-sensitive controls for playback, volume, and calls. Bluetooth Connectivity- Expect stable Bluetooth connectivity with minimal dropouts.

I have been using these earbuds for approximately three weeks and I can confidently assert that the sound quality is truly remarkable. The noise-canceling feature functions flawlessly, effectively blocking out external noise. Although they do not fit perfectly in my ears, I acknowledge that this is due to my personal ear size rather than a flaw in the product. Overall, these are exceptional earbuds and I highly recommend them without any reservations.

These buds are modern, stylish and s3iper comfortable.i always struggle to find ear buds to sit well in my small ears, but these are perfecr. I have tested them indoors and outdoors but also during my boxing workout. At no point they fell.off. they are water and sweat proof. The sound is very well-balanced, clear and full-bodied. The box is so easy to use. I can change the volume, bass etc without taking my mobile out. You can also pause the music or change modes between ambient and noise cancelling simply by touching the bud. Battery life is amazing and they charge really quick too. Calls were clear and the people on the other end could hear me well. This was tested indoors and outdoors. 6 built in microphones do the job well.

If you’re not a huge fan of earbuds because one ear doesn’t quite fit them right, I totally get it. But the JBL Live Buds 3 might still be worth a try. Even with an irregular ear shape, these buds have a lot going for them. The sound quality is pretty impressive—think rich bass and clear highs that can hold their own against some of the big names out there. Plus, the noise cancellation does a great job of keeping out background noise, so you can really get lost in your music. Now, I know the fit can be tricky, especially if one ear is a bit different, but JBL includes a bunch of different ear tips to help you find the right size. It might take a bit of experimenting, but there’s a good chance you’ll find a combo that works. So, even if you’re usually not into earbuds because of fit issues, the JBL Live Buds 3 are still worth considering. They pack in some great features and sound, making them a solid competitor in the wireless earbud game

I have had them fir about 3 weeks. The sound is really good but they do not last 10 hours. I got about 5 hours each time I have used them. I first tried with noise canceling on and then I tried it with it off and I might have gotten another 39 mins. I am a more than a little disappointed. I was hoping to get at least 8 hrs. Your specifications are misleading.

Thanks for your feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve. With our JBL Live Buds 3, charge the battery to 100% and then listen to music without any bass boosted, and at a very low volume. If the battery lasts close to the published up-to playtime, the battery is working fine. However, if you get less than 90% of the published spec, this likely means that the battery is losing its capacity. For us to further assist you with your JBL Live Buds 3, please contact our customer support.

Excellent Sound and Fit

The JBL Live Buds 3 have been a game-changer for me over the past four weeks, especially as they replace my previous JBL Tour Pro 2. The fit is superb, staying snug in my ears even during my weekly runs, which is a real life-saver. The hi-res audio is a standout feature, I now enjoy crisp and clear sound that makes my noisy office environment more bearable. One of the most useful features is the screen on the charging case. It reduces my need to constantly grab my phone, which is a blessing during hectic workdays. The screen allows me to check battery life and switch sound profiles with ease, though it can be a bit finicky at times. Overall, the JBL Live Buds 3 are a solid upgrade, providing excellent sound quality and a comfortable and secure fit. While the case's screen might seem gimmicky, it adds convenience that I appreciate. I think these buds are a great choice for anyone looking for solid performance on the go.

I have tested many headphones from many companies. These have stolen my heart! The quality of workmanship is very good. The sound quality is even better! The headphones fit well in the ear, even while running or exercising. The sound does not transfer to the outside, no one hears what you are listening to. They are very good for listening to music but also various webinars. The headphone housing has a built-in panel where you can manage the sound, tone, as well as other useful options so you don't have to take out your phone to change the music or type of sound. This is the first time I have tested JBL and it is probably the best sound quality for me so far. I recommend it.

Really great headphones. Very comfortable in the ear and they don't seem like they will fall out. I love the tap control features on the ear pieces. I have had no problem with these. Crystal clear sound and good at blocking out external noise. I love the case and how you can customise the picture on them. Love the personal touch.

Stylish, Comfortable, and Packed with Features

The JBL Live Buds 3 have a modern, elegant design. They fit comfortably in my small ears and stayed secure during workouts, which is a big plus for anyone with an active lifestyle. I like the fact that their IP55 rating ensures they are dust and water-resistant, enhancing their durability. I was pleased to find that the silicone ear tips come in multiple sizes,from small to large, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. Also, the sound quality is clear and well-balanced, and the JBL box and app allows for further customization with its powerful equalizer. These earbuds feature convenient touch controls, meaning, you can pause your music and switch between noise-cancelling, talk-through, and ambient modes directly on the earbuds. However, adjusting the volume requires using the case or your phone, which I find inconvenient at times, but it simplifies the on-ear controls. The active noise cancelling (ANC) feature is highly effective, the best I have used. It significantly reduces background noise, making it easy to focus on music or podcasts without interruptions. When you turn on noise cancelling without playing something in the background, these Live Buds still do a great job of blocking out ambient noise. In ambient mode, you can easily hear external sounds, but having a normal conversation is not possible as the music remains too loud. The talk-through mode is great; you can keep the earbuds in your ears, the music volume lowers significantly (almost inaudible, so nearly off), allowing you to have a normal conversation. Additionally, call quality with these Live Buds is excellent. People can hear you clearly during calls, and the multiple microphones help in picking up your voice accurately while minimizing background noise. This is a significant improvement over my experience with the Sony WH series, where call quality was not as reliable. Another impressive point is the battery life of these Live Buds, you can use it for hours, and a quick charge gives you hours of listening time. I also noticed that wearing over-ear headphones for extended periods can cause pressure and eventually lead to headaches. This isn't an issue with the JBL Live Buds 3. Overall, the JBL Live Buds 3 are a great investment for anyone looking for reliable and high-quality wireless earbuds.

First of all I am in love with the look of these earphones. They are so elegant but have classic and sporty look. Battery is very good and holds enough time (and I use them a lot), it’s great that case is a charger. The quality of the sound is amazing and I am really impressed. Soundproofing is one of the greatest thing about these earphones. They are my first earphones with app on the phone and it is really helpful.

Świetne słuchawki

Testując słuchawki JBL Live Buds 3 oczekiwałam bardzo dobrze grających słuchawek, ponieważ firma JBL, jak dla mnie jest liderem wśród różnych marek i z góry już mogę powiedzieć, że moje oczekiwania zostały spełnione. Słuchawki mają bardzo czysty dźwięk oraz posiadają głęboki bass. Zaletą tych słuchawek jest daleki zasięg, który dla mnie jest bardzo ważny, po podczas pracy mogę pozostawić telefon w bezpiecznym miejscu. Świetnym rozwiązaniem jest wyświetlacz, na którym można odczytać wiadomości, można również wybierać w nich opcje, w jaki sposób chcemy posłuchać muzyki również przez dedykowaną do nich aplikacje. Kolejnym ich atutem jest mikrofon, ponieważ mówiąc przez niego wychodzi bardzo czysty głos, lecz gdy trochę się spocimy słuchawki wypadają z uszu. Gdybym miał kolejny raz wybierać słuchawki douszne w tej kwocie na pewno byłby to JBL Live Buds 3.

This little beauties are something on another level. The quality of the sound is amazing. There aee few different modes to choose from so of you like the beat is loud and strong and if you prefer softer tones that's available too so depends on your mood you can pick and choose. Battery life is another good thing about this earbuds . Last forever. I don't use it every day but the case charge is quick and it seems to never ending. Noise cancelling is a superb feature because all you can hear and enjoy is the sound of your music not the surrounding noise. There is another good feature that I've never had with any of my previous headphones is the talkthru system where volume of the music goes down few bars when someone talks to you so you can actually have a conversation while listening so good when you on your computer working I'm an office or on a walk with someone.

Adaptive Audio Excellence for the Modern Lifestyle
4 out of 5 stars
AudioGenius - 6 months ago

The JBL Buds 3 have become my constant companions, seamlessly adapting to my dynamic daily routine. The true adaptive noise cancelling, powered by six mics, is truly impressive. Whether I'm navigating bustling city streets or seeking focus in a noisy café, these buds automatically adjust to provide the perfect level of isolation. The Smart Charging Case's touch display is a game-changer, allowing me to tweak settings on the fly without fumbling with my phone. While the 10-hour battery life of the buds is sufficient for most days, I occasionally find myself relying on the case's extra 30 hours during long trips. The multi-point connection shines when I'm multitasking between devices, though I've noticed occasional hiccups when switching audio sources. The waterproof and dustproof design gives me peace of mind during outdoor activities, making these a versatile choice for both work and play.
