JBL wireless earbuds come in a wide variety to compliment your lifestyle whatever it may be, and thanks to the sublime JBL signature sound, you can feel at one with your music and your world. When you start the video and audio at the same time, the audio will lag behind by the length of time it takes the Bluetooth hardware to receive, process and output it which is known as Latency. You get up to 24 hours of combined playback: 4hrs of continuous listening on the headphones plus up to 20 hours of backup from the smart charging case. They're more comfortable than the Jabra Elite Sport but they won't be as comfortable as some of the other truly wireless headphones we've tested like the Gear IconX or the SoundSport Free but should be comfortable enough for most as long as you do not mind the fit of in-ears in general.

The GD graph also shows that the group delay response never crosses the audibility threshold, suggesting a tight bass and a transparent treble reproduction.

But the recess around 700Hz, nudges the vocals and lead instruments towards the back of the mix, by giving more emphasis to the bass frequencies.
