JBL is at the top when it comes to audio production.
From large sound stages, recording booths, to your home and on-the-go, only JBL sound the way they do.
They also bring us busy outdoors (and indoors) people functions that we never knew we needed, such as a Smart Charging Case for their earbuds.
As we saw with last years Tour Pro 2 TWS, JBL have now released the Live Flex 3.
The Smart Case comes with the same functionality as the Tour Pro 2, where you can tweak your audio settings, control music and volume as well as customize the lock screen.
You can also set up your smart phone’s notifications to come up on the case screen. This is a bit hit and miss though.
The buds themselves are super comfy for long wearing periods and put out an astounding tub-thumping mix of highs and lows, with a rumble for that bassline.
However, they are prone to slipping out of your ear due to having no silicone tips.
Side touch functionality is still there, to take a call or control your music or media, and the Live Flex 3 are also a bit prone to the occasional Bluetooth drops as their Tour Pro 2 also suffers from.
But the JBL Live Flex 3 will see you right for that long commute, flight and literally all-day.
A whopping 50 hour battery life from full charge (or around 10 hours on a 15 – 20 minute charge up) means you are not going to have to charge these up every few hours.
I’ve had this review pair for a bit over one week and they are still going strong after one full charge when I first received them.
The JBL Live Flex 3 are the buds to have in your bag or pocket, and take with you, for reliability.
If you’re a fitness fanatic or someone that moves around a lot, they may not be the best due to their ability to fall out.
At home, work or that long haul flight, you can’t go wrong. You can put your phone away and pump up the jam on your fav playlists from the Smart Case.
