Washer incident
I accidentally put these headphones though the washer and dryer… I thought they were done for… I took them ear buds out of the case and let them sit for over 12 hours so they dry out and they are working normally now!

DONT BUY THESE
I have had these flex tune JBL headphones for a little over a year. They worked wonderfully until the first update. And then every update since then has only proven, well nothing positive. They don’t charge evenly, I have cleaned the case the Connections everything the way that they have specified to do so. They sometimes make very loud high-pitched noises which no one ...

Great product but with flaws
Great product. My only concern is the left ear piece. The right ear piece is clear and has great sound quality. Unfortunately the left ear piece is full of static. I would rate this a 5/5 but the left ear piece shot it down 2 stars.

Disconnect and charge issues
Sound is great, but they don't always disconnect when put in case. When they were new they didn't like to charger either. Also I use only one earbud at work and the functions when using only one side are limited, would be nice if in single mode the left and/or right had the same functionality.

Too many drawbacks
I like the look of these headphones, and the battery life is great. However, I have small ears and these earbuds are too big for me, so the fit is very loose and they are prone to falling out. Also something is really wacky with the sound levels. I've had them for less than 3 months and the right ear bud is significantly quieter than the left. There is nothing blocking ...

Response from Staples :
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We recommend cleaning the contact pins on the case and earbuds using a cotton swab with alcohol. Charging issues are frequently caused by foreign matter on the metal charging contacts. This can include sweat, grease, ear wax, etc. Please ensure the pins are dried before placing them back on the case. If cleaning doesn't solve the problem, the next thing to check is the balance control by checking the balance control on your source device by going to the "Accessibility" settings, on your music player app, commonly found in the playback or EQ settings, and the balance control on the JBL Headphone App. Lastly, try to connect the headphones to a different device (phone/tablet/music player) to see if it fixes the problem. If the troubleshooting steps do not work, we'd like to work with you directly to address the issues you're experiencing with your JBL Tune Flex TWS. Please contact our customer support.

Horrible
Don't buy. I have had these for over a year. They work fine in the beginning then over time the left ear bud won't connect or charge. Then both dont connect to the phone. I have tried the reset and it works for a short period. You have to constantly clean them to get them to charge. If you want to spend a percentage of your workout trying to get these to work buy them. ...

Not the best, not worth the money
I’ll give these a one star as they are comfortable and have a good battery life. But the sound quality is possibly the worst I’ve experienced with these style of ‘EarPods’ when at full volume the audio will be very distorted and you won’t be able to listen to a song properly so you’ll have to turn it down and then you can’t hear anything because it’s too quiet.

I bought these earbuds a little over 2 months ago and for the first month they have been fine, now they are: 1. Staying connected to my device, while in the case. 2. When i put the earbuds in the case they make this loud beeping noise and it doesn’t stop until i put it on the charger. 3. The LED lights on the charging case are going crazy, flashing and turning off and ...

Very disappointed
Super disappointed in these. They're decent when they work, but they've stopped charging after only a couple months. Half the time, I put them in the case and one or both just won't register that they're in the case, and they won't charge.
When they DO charge, the battery life is abysmal. I'm lucky if I can get a single hour of use on a full charge.

JBL Earbuds: Unexpected Issues in Less Than Two Mo
I have been a regular user of JBL products for some time, but unfortunately, my recent experience with these earbuds has been very disappointing. They often remain connected even after being placed in the case, and on several occasions, despite a full night of charging, one earbud unexpectedly announces “battery low.”
Considering they are less than two months old, thes...

We appreciate your feedback. Since you mentioned that there is no light indicator on the right earbud, it is possible that this is a charging issue, and it is frequently caused by foreign matter on the metal charging contacts, which can include sweat, grease, earwax, and more. These issues can often be resolved by cleaning the contact points on the earbuds and the charging case. Please note that your JBL Tune Flex comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.

It's not what it promises
I work with noisy tools and in "noise canceling mode" for some reason the sounds are amplified more, this mode is useless. Walking in the rain, the touch sensors went crazy and stopped working for a moment. Now the sound is never the same again. Now the bass is much quieter. Since I bought them, I also had the problem that when I put them in the charging case, they are ...

Thank you for your review. We're here to help. Here's some helpful information:
1. Our JBL Tune Flex's Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is optimized for general ambient sounds (e.g., commute, office) and may be less effective in very high-decibel, industrial environments.
2. The unit is IPX4 rated (splash and sweat-resistant for workouts), but heavy rain can impact performance. For any issues arising after rain exposure, including sound or touch sensor problems, a factory reset is often effective.
3. For optimal bass, first use the "Check My Best Fit" feature in the JBL Headphones App to ensure correct ear tip size and positioning. If bass issues persist, consider your audio source quality, EQ settings, or the source device. For intermittent bass, try adjusting your EQ or checking app/service settings. If bass is consistently lacking, toggle your EQ (on/off or boost), test with a different device, or perform a factory reset as a last resort.
4. Factory resetting the unit:
• With both earbuds on, and not charging, tap two times and hold the button on the third tap for more than 5 seconds. Finally, place the earbuds back into the charging case to complete the process.
• You may need to 'forget' the headphones in Bluetooth settings on your phone/tablet in order to pair them again.
5. For charging case connection issues, cleaning the contact points on the earbuds and charging case usually resolves them. Please head to https://support.jbl.com/us/en/howto/true-wireless-headphones-cleaning-instructions-for-re-establishing-charging-us/000016909.html
Your unit is covered by a one-year standard warranty. For further assistance, please contact us.
