Ignore the price - don’t buy
I wish I was kidding when I say it’s one of the worst products I’ve ever purchased. they’re skimping on covering earbuds…. I left another review and the quality somehow has deteriorated more since then (mission, I thought impossible?). Do NOT buy. I would rather have short wired earphones where only one works compared to this madness. Honestly a health thing, how do you not cover something that goes inside your ear. Soooo disappointed to be such a polarized user. I used to love this brand

Great with some flaws
I'm quite surprised with the audio quality for such small driver though they haven't got the thump of the JBL wave flex and other earbuds with bigger drivers. They fit really nicely into my ears with the customisable tips though I wish they had a symbol or colour to match them easier. The microphones are very good and clear and crisp as the listing says but the anc isn't top notch and struggles to cut out noises on public transport but is able to effectively mute talking. Most 4 out of 5 product ever!

Not so active noise cancelling
I bought these a week ago. Basic headphones for the price, but active noise cancelling... There is none. The only difference between ambient aware and talk through modes is that the microphone no longer lets sound through. I have the JBL Reflect MiniNc headphones and their noise cancelling is from a completely different planet. So if you value active noise cancelling headphones, stay away from these.

Fit and features not as expected
I bought these several weeks ago and I've had so many issues with them. There is no lid to the case, which means I can't as easily throw it in my bag, it has to stay upright mostly. This also feels unhygienic - much more dust and dirt can get into the case, and onto the buds. Also, the ear buds do not sit well in my ears, I've tried all the sizes. If I start talking or singing while wearing them, they immediately pop out of my ears. Adjusting how they sit in my ears is also difficult, because of the touch commands. I'll go to push an earbud more securely in my ear and wind up turning off noise cancelling or pausing the song I'm playing. I've been pretty unhappy with this purchase so far. Mechanically, they work fine.

100% would buy again.
These are my third pair. I am highly satisfied with these. I love the design of the charger. I can fit it into any pouch. No custom case needed. I have never had the buds fall out of its charger. I missed placed my first pair and accidentally washed one of my earbuds in my second pair. While doing laundry. It still works but the charge wasn't reliable when I purchased my 3rd pair. Now its three days later and my 3rd pair just arrived and my 2nd pair are almost to 100%. I still don't regret getting this 2 gen vibe buds. Ps these vibe buds fit in all Bath and Body works hand sanitizer 👝 pouches. So many cute💗 options.

Good but sometimes fall out of ears
I really like the earbuds overall, great sound and are comfortable. However I do have some issues with them staying in my ears, not sure if it’s due to the size or the weight but sometimes they fall out when I lean forward. They hold charge well though so you don’t have to charge them too often.

Disappointing
Audio is decent quality, but the construction of the base and earbuds themselves is abysmal. The charging case has no lid, which means the earbuds can fall out at any given opportunity. Dropping the case is basically a guarantee that the earbuds will fall out (and likely end up in some difficult-to-reach area). I've had a few instances of these earbuds simply falling out on their own as well. I don't understand the logic behind this construction, as again, the earbuds are much more prone to falling out and getting lost somewhere. This is not the only issue with quality; the hard plastic on the left earbud is already coming apart after only a few months. I do not use these earbuds that frequently, and even if I did, it's very disappointing to have your earbuds break so quickly. Overall, I am incredibly disappointed with the quality of these earbuds, especially because I've been very happy with JBL's sound quality. I just wish the sound and construction were on the same level of quality. If you want JBL earbuds, get a pair that has a lid on the charging case.

Water resistant for the win
Ive had these for a couple weeks now and no regrets. Sound is amazing. The noise canceling is flawless and I thought the case was a little risky but ive yet to lose a bud. Except for the one time I did by my own gratefulness and a small dog ate it the moment it hit the floor. (Dog is fine a little hydrogen peroxide made him throw it right up) but the amazing thing is. The sound, the features, the connectivity....perfect. Im impressed.

It's okay
For some reason they actually don't fit in my ear so I can hear the bass. I still like them.

Disappointed
Pretty disappointed in the fact that one of the Earbuds quit working, my husband hasn't even had the chance to use them a handful of times.
1 reply from Customer Support team - 2 months ago
Thanks for your feedback. It's possible that the earbud is not charging, and charging issues are frequently caused by foreign matter on the metal charging contacts. This can include sweat, grease, dust, etc. You may click on the link below for detailed online instructions on how to clean the contact points of the earbuds. If the issue remains, please contact us for further assistance. Cleaning instructions: https://bit.ly/3S4bOkQ Contact us here: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/#contact

Ok, but not great
Couldn’t find a way to increase volume on headphones and when I looked it up (Tap, hold) it didn’t work. The earphones do not stay in my ear. I’ve tried the small medium and large, the medium fit the best but will fall out when I am doing simple tasks like putting laundry in basket from dryer. Sound quality is good, mic works well

Thanks for your feedback. Our JBL Vibe Buds 2 have a volume control that you can set up using our JBL Headphones app. We recommend downloading our app to modify the tap button settings.

Incredibly Frustrating
Every time I take ear buds out, it's a guarantee a little voice announces a new mode I'm in. I change modes 3x per use without every meaning to. "Noise canceling" ... "ambient aware" ... "talk through" ... I just want to listen to music. Now, less than a year after purchase, theyre not recognizing when I put them in their pod so the battery drains. Sometimes I'll watch something in my phone and it picks up the signal while still in their pod. Incredibly frustrating to use. Bought these at an airport when I was in a jam and these experiences will go through my mind whenever I see another JBL product.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Whenever you take the earbuds out, you might be tapping the buttons unintentionally, which is why it keeps switching the features. You can turn off the tap buttons through the JBL Headphones app. Regarding the charging issue with the earbuds, we recommend cleaning the charging pins of both the earbuds and the case using a cotton swab and alcohol. Please make sure to dry them before putting them back in the case. If you need more help, please contact us directly at: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/#contact
