I love it the ANC but great ear buds overall
I love these earbuds! The JBL Tune Flex is reasonably priced and performs better than more expensive brands I've tried. The ANC is the best part—it keeps things quiet even when my cousin and grandma are at it again. 10/10 for sound and sanity!

I'll probably never use these. They'll just sit in a drawer as a festering disappointment as a waste of time and money. While trying to set these up it twice decided to Facetime someone named Hannah from my contacts, even after going through some work and trying to find where in the App it has a setting to disable voice commands.

Overall Good but Doesn't Fit Well
Good for the price. I like the ease of use and that you don't need the app to operate these. The rubber tips don't fit my ear very well, however. I think I may need to get third party in between sizes. One ear fits well and the other feels really loose. Because of this, I can't really tell how well the noise cancellation is. Right now I don't hear a difference between n...

Thanks for your feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve. Here are some troubleshooting steps that might help isolate the issue with your JBL Tune Flex. First, forget/unpair the headphones on your device, then manually pair the headphones with your device and see if this resolves your problem. If that doesn't resolve the issue, the next step is a reset. With both earbuds on, and not charging, tap two times and hold the button on the third tap for more than 5 seconds. You may need to 'forget' the headphones in Bluetooth settings on your phone/tablet in order to pair them again. If the issue remains, please contact us at (800) 336-4525 Mon-Fri: 9:00 am - 11:00 pm (EST) Sat-Sun: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (EST)

I got it as a Christmas present, so far I'm satisfied with JBL products, but the noise cancellation of this Tune Flex is terrible, as if it doesn't exist, and the sound quality is much worse than, for example, the JBL 520BT. The sound is very "cheap", it's hard to take it out of the case and it's very sensitive to touches. I don't recommend it at all.

Adaptable
These have the volume capabilities needed when using sound canceling and ambient aware features. My last earbuds (not JBL) were too quiet and I couldn't really use them in public, these are very adaptable for any space. I also put one of these through the wash on accident and after recharging it has worked perfectly ever since, it even matches volume/quality to the non-...

Zero stars - turned off to JBL as a brand entirely
They aren’t designed for human ears first of all. The smallest earbud attachment is way too large. The material they made the earbud out of feels cheap and slick. The touch controls are ill placed and I always press something I don’t mean to when constantly adjusting the earbud because it doesn’t fit.
Most annoyingly the earbuds activate Siri every time I touch them. ...

Horrible
Not loud at all, if there is background noise you can’t hear music from the, and the noise canceling doesn’t work at all. And they barely stay in your ear, they fall out very often

Response from Staples :
Thanks for reaching out. To achieve the best seal, sound, and secure fit with your JBL Tune Flex TWS, you must create a tight seal within your ear canal. To do this, angle the ear tip slightly downward to make it easier to insert into your ear canal, gently twist the earbud to fit it securely into the shape of your ear, and continue twisting the earbud into your ear canal. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.

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.
