Battery issue
I bought these JBL earbuds in 2024, but now they're not working properly. I don't use them very much, but I think they've become faulty. I thought that since they were expensive, they would be good quality, but they didn't last very long.

We appreciate your feedback on our JBL Vibe Buds 2. It is possible that the battery is losing its capacity. However, it is also possible that the battery is working correctly, but depletes more quickly when the volume is very loud and/or the bass has been boosted. Please try this experiment: 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. Note: Battery playtime also decreases as the battery ages.

possibly worst wireless earbuds I've owned
the sound quality isnt bad but that's about where the positives end. The battery life feels quite low compared to previous products I've owned, and for earbuds with bad battery life the charging port is awful, it's not tight at all so practically every charger just falls out unless you set it up in a perfect position.

Dogshit
Possibly the worst earbuds in the history of the concept. The retailer apparently wants you to be frozen in time and space whenever you want to use this earbuds. So don’t expect to take a step forward or tilt your ear to the side of these little pieces of plastic trash will be falling out. Never had a bad earbud from JBL before, but you’ll be dam sure I’m never buying any again!

Not the worst, but definitely has some draw backs
Buds don't provide good sound. The left bud is louder than the right. Case doesn't close which means the inside of the case gets built up with lint, etc causing the bus to not charge. Anything metal in your pocket will attract to the charging studs. This will sort of the case.

JBL earbuds sounded awesome, now it's my favorite brand
I just bought the JBL vibe buds 2 last night , I was excited for buy my second pair of Bluetooth earbuds and man glad i bought it for a $39.99 and it the only one in stock, and it gets me some time to used to these type of earbuds but it fits comfortably and the sound quality yes it sounded awesome, no complaints, plus It is dust and water proof which isa win, I love it's magnetic to put on the earbuds and it charges 2 hours for full charge and 3 hours in case in a rush which is great, Luckily I have a USB C universal charger for connecting my earbuds and it's pretty amazing so far, it's definitely my best one yet highly recommend and the JBL brand is phenomenal. I love the eartips for different comfort as well, so satisfied.

Poor design
Poor design. Bought in a pinch and wished I just saved the money for the headphones I wound up buying later. Longtime JBL customer, disappointed.

An expensive riddle...
It has no lid, therefore it's always trying to connect to something. Always. In my purse, it's on, you can't turn it off. Battery drains incessantly. A circular problem. Oy Vey! Do not buy.

Not enough bass. Not loud enough.
1 reply from JBL Support team - 2 months ago
Thanks for your feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve. For our JBL Vibe Buds 2 TWS, source devices (phones, tablets, etc.) all behave a bit differently. Some have very loud outputs, and some can be quite a bit lower, even at maximum volumes. You may try to use an equalizer like JBL Headphones App on your music application to adjust the volume to your preference. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.

Trash
Noise cancelling isnt noise cancelling hear everything outside
1 reply from Customer Support team - 2 months ago
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. To get the perfect fit from our JBL Vibe Buds 2, the most important step is achieving a secure, airtight seal by angling the earbud downward and gently twisting it into place. We recommend experimenting with all the provided ear tip sizes to find your perfect fit, as a proper seal instantly improves noise cancellation and maximize the feature. For further assistance, please contact our customer support.

Worst earbuds ever made, ever used, ever seen.
At first I thought I was missing something, looked inside the packaging box again, looked at the manual, and true to it, these earbuds were designed to stay exposed to dirt, germs, and loss. Can’t be used with phone calls as the other end hears you mumbling like you’re undersea. The designer should be banned from designing anything else for humans They have good bass but extremely poor noise cancellation. They’re also not the most comfortable, but they will hold during a good run. They’re only clear for music. Would not recommend and I regret buying.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We understand how the JBL Vibe Buds 2 are designed. You may check with third-party sellers for available protective casing. With regards to the noise cancellation, you can create a tight seal by inserting the eartip at a slight downward angle, gently twisting the earbud to match the shape of your ear, and continuing to twist until it feels secure. Try this with each of the included eartip sizes to find the best fit. After a few attempts, the process becomes quick and easy each time you put them on. Feel free to contact our customer support for further assistance.

Terrible product
Quite literally unusable. They don’t stay in your ear and constantly switch between noise canceling and ambient aware. Do not waste your money

Not great
Did not like the fact that it doesn’t have a top! It claims that it has a strong magnet and that even if you dropped them they stay in. Not true for me. I dropped them twice and twice they popped out.

The Case MELTED While Charging
Buy literally any other earbuds. If the fact they don't reliably charge doesn't deter you, the possibility of them being a fire hazard should. The case for the earbuds literally MELTED while they were charging. Thank goodness we were home and were able to unplug them before anything tragic happened.

All the things
As they advise, make sure they fit snugly and you will be rewarded with epic bass. Controls are good and have allowed me to adjust the position of the earbuds without triggering an unwanted command. Noise cancellation allows me to work around machines without going quite mad...it's really good. Case design is unique and has worked for me so far. The "ambient aware" mode is quite nice/helpful. The conversation mode is cool. When in this mode the music or podcast doesn't pause so you'll miss a bit of whatever it is while you're conversating :) on the fence with that design decision. Not bad...just not sure. Quite happy with this purchase.

Terrible ergonomics
I have gotten free airline headphones that stay in my ears better than these. It's like the designer doesn't realize that putting puting a bulky heavy section of the device externally and above a flimsy silicone earpiece that is expected to hold them in place while moving is a BAD idea. No case cover??? For real? Cool, now we get debris. ZERO functional ergonomics. These things fall out every single time I try to use them regardless of the tips I put on them. Nobody cares about the sound quality or features if they are incredibly inconvenient to use. Very poor product design. AND (This part doesn't bother me as much because it only happened once) I put them into ambient aware and it screeched in my ear. LOUD screech.

Good sound, Bad noise cancelling
The sound is good but, being honest I can't notice any noise cancelling at all, it seems to make no difference when turned on. 5 for sound 1 for noise cancelling so a 3

Intuitive use and easy setup
Best noise reduction in a set of earbuds, the sound of insomnia by Faithless is epic.
