Even though the JBL earbuds are rather large, the rubberized armour makes them feel durable. You may wear these earphones in the shower in addition to during workouts and jogs because they have an IP67 grade for dust and water protection (avoid wearing them during a shower though). Additionally, extra silicone loops are provided for a better fit, and they are effective because the earbuds never came out of my ears when working out. The silicone eartips fit comfortably and create a good seal in the ear canals. If the preinstalled medium option isn’t the appropriate size for you, you get two other sets of tips in the package. Look at some of the pictures below to get a better idea of the buds’ shape because it is difficult to convey in words. Even though the earbuds protrude slightly from the ear, they don’t appear unattractive. The casing and buds are primarily black matte with a bit of sheen, and the stylistic pairing looks good without accumulating too many smudges. Additionally, the charging case is heavier than average, weighing close to 45 grammes. Unless you don’t mind a conspicuous bulge in your pocket, it is not exactly pocketable. Try not to take the case outside in the wet as it lacks any ingress protection. The front of the case has a charge indication LED, while the back has a USB-C charging connector. Each earbud has a 6 mm driver, but don’t let their small size deceive you—they can crank out some serious bass. Although there is no active noise cancellation (ANC) present, there are two transparency settings available, which JBL prefers to refer to as Ambient Aware and TalkThru. The latter enhances vocal frequencies while the former lets background noise pass through, allowing for a brief discussion without taking the earbuds out. These JBL earbuds lack wear sensing sensors. These earphones support SBC and AAC codecs and are Bluetooth 5.2 compliant. After downloading and syncing the JBL Headphones app, you may access the earbuds’ different settings. The programme primarily allows you to update the firmware, customise the controls, and change the sound profile.
