@@aaronloudnwireless Enjoy your reviews Aaron. Particularly the real world outdoor Cafe testing, both noise cancelation and ambient noise. I'd like to see a comparison video between these JBL Live Pro 2 with the JBL Live Free 2. Cheers
Bought them on last big sale day for half price and love them. So much I stocked them away with my 'special occasion' buds and bought the 230NC for daily driver rotation. Enjoy _those_ so much I also got the 130NC - both on sale under $50. 130/230 are VERY different - 230 far brighter but both have that JBL thump and natural timbre across mids. The one thing I wish they all did better was high treble. I like a clean sharp crispy tweeter like top end and Soundcore is better at that. JBL is warmer, more 'Harman' (they are Harman owned after all) Really impressed with JBL products and tech - battery life especially.
An observation about the ANC: It's basically a bass booster. When using the adaptive mode I couldn't understand why the bass level kept fluctuation and even using the Bass EQ didn't resolve it. I switched to manual adjustment and the more you increase it the more bass there is. For me the best option is to set Jazz EQ with the ANC one notch from Max.
@@mrd64 Can you please check this feature for me? If the device is in connected state, if we are not wearing the buds, audio output will be through earbuds or through connected device ? I mean will it use ear detection feature to decide the output device? Thank you.
@@YUTfan2 I only use them with my phone. When I insert the buds it says connected and music plays through them after I touch play. If I remove both buds music is automatically paused on my phone and will play through its speakers if press play again.

for sound quality: WF-1000XM4 > JBL Live Pro 2 > LinkBuds S WF-1000XM4 is better than JBL Live Pro 2. It sounded clearer because it doesn't boost the lower treble (Presence region) as much as JBL Live Pro 2. I have been using JBL Live pro 2 since last year. I love it feature set especially for this price. I just wish the equalizer could reduce this nasty Presence region with making it sound dull. I also don't like high latency. but for music it decent because of the great bass response.
The live pro 2 eq should make it perfect. It's a 10 band eq. Try this: 31hz -2.3 62hz -0.5 125hz -0.7 250hz 0 500hz 1.2 1000hz 1 2000hz -0.4 4000hz -2 8000hz 0.2
Finally! Thanks for the review. Problem is, I can't find them for US$99 on Amazon now, which i heard are a usual occurance. That's S$140+ which is wayyy lower then their crazy MSRP of S$265
I used to have jbl tws 100 3 years back and I have listened to these and tws 230nc they sound great and loud and bassy. But these sound very close and also don't miss clarity at higher volume unlike Sony xm4. But these misses separation and clarity of the Sony. Sony sucks above70% of volume. I still bought Sony because these were 12k and Sony where 13k in my country so brought Sony I some times miss jbl bass. Jbl warranty is online process so they suck I have good time with Sony service centre unlike jbl. So brought Sony.
I have the older JBL Pro Plus for 2 years now. They've been perfect except the transparency mode isn't that great. It let's in too much wind noise as does the ANC modes. Hopefully they've improved that with these.
After the right bud of my original JBL Live pro+ died, I got their successor as a replacement. I have to say they have been good so far. They are definitely better than their predecessor. Love the multipoint ability. The seal is much better with the oval shape than the round shape. The ANC is definitely better. Got to love the multipoint ability. The best part about them. Love it. However, it still lacks full customization of the controls and there is some minor interruption and cutting out.
Hi Aaron how is the fit, secure and comfort? Also, can it use either one bud at a time? I'm looking at this, Jabra elite 7 active and Beats studio bud plus. Thanks!
@henriquerodrigues9449 bro i have tested both. I went with galaxy buds 2 pro. Jbl is bassy but not that quality bassy. Samsung is crystal clear and bassy while bass is so quality. And u can consider buying oneplus buds pro 2
Hi @aaronloudnwireless I appreciate your videos, but while reviewing can you also mention from next time if these works for Teams or Zoom calls ? I got this because it has 6 microphones, but unfortunately with my Laptop teams/Zoom calls, they take from Laptop itself instead of ear buds, This model earbuds doesnt support laptop apps calls unfortunately.
Hello, what is the best true wireless handsfree brand for talking in a crowded place and which one do you accept and introduce among sony wf-c700n, Samsung buds 2 pro and jbl live 2 pro??? Thank you for your help
Your videos are awesome mate. Can I ask u a question pls? I am not that experienced in hardware. What is the difference between the jbl reflect aero tws and the jbl reflect flow pro?

Yes, the sound is very nice, but there is a problem with the right earphone. I bought 3 and the right earphone of 2 of them does not work. I think there is a problem with the software. It does not recognize the right earphone.
I’ve tried both and kept the JBLs. Liberty 4 have paper thin treble to the point they sound like 40$ buds. Bass is good tho. V disappointed. JBLs balanced and sound great
Hello bro, I still can’t decide which is better, I use an iPhone and look towards JBL as they are cheaper, but there are doubts whether they will be worse than Airpods pro 2? Will they play just as well on the iPhone?
Linkbuds S when I go to a restaurant or a bar the mic quality is really bad, people from the other side doesn't understand what I say, very muffled voice, besides that on calls they have transparent mode enabled by default and it's not possible to disable it, it's a disgusting effect, not good at all. I bought them because of the test your did, but in real life the result could be much different compared to your test.
Appreciate the feedback. It applies very heavy noise gating depending on the scenario. I wish there was a way to replicate different scenarios from the studio when testing. But in general, other TWS wouldn't have fared better.
@@aaronloudnwireless My girlfriend today was in the airplane talking to me till the gate was closed, impossible to understand her with the people talking around, the normal noise you get in an airport, she has the Oneplus Buds pro (version 1) as a backup and I was able to hear her very well with that buds, but that same Oneplus performs really bad when I'm in the bicycle and there is wind. If I'm washing the dishes, the Linkbuds S mic perform excellent, the same with wind when I'm in my bicycle, the problem seems to be in places where there is too much people where the voice become really muffled to the point that is better to talk directly to the phone.
Are OnePlus buds pro 2 a preferable choice over these?And which tws shall be the best to choose for under $140 ,for a sound signature that will never disappoint?
Hi I wonder about the durability on these? I have the older version pro+. And now the anc and aware don't work anymore. The right bud just makes a hissing sound
Recently, bought it and the ANC is not as great compared to my previous Jabra 75T. When activated, I can still hear the sound of my finger tapping on my table. Not sure if it is a defect by the manufacturer or if I need to get a Comply foam tip for improvement.
Im looking for a upgrade from my air pods 2e gen for working out i cant decide between the Jbl live pro 2 or the Jbl live nc670 idk if it out preformace my airpods so im kinda scared to spend the extra money Any insight from anyone?
I'm using the live pro 2's, and they're amazing. I don't get why you would buy any airbuds if u already have airpods though. I'd just stick tonur airpods if I were u.
My jbl live pro 2 stuck in mono mode! The two earphones can see each other, the phone can also see them, the gesture control also works, the case charges both evenly (I can see this in the application), but only the left earpiece speaks. I suspect a synchronization problem, the two earphones should somehow be re-paired manually, but the user manual does not provide information on this. Neither charging, restarting, nor factory reset helped, I searched the known internet for a solution, but nothing. If anyone has an idea, pls write it down, thanks in advance!
It's really weird, but you're the 1st and only person I hear that these JBL Live Pro 2 have sibilance problem🤔 At $80-$100, I find these Live Pro 2s to be a much better deal than the Sony Xm4s and Linkbuds S.
Yep, that sibilance is definitely coming from the videos I was watching. In general (playing music) it doesn't have that issue. That part has been edited out. 👍🏻
Fr my own experience with JBL, it's not built to last. Bought 200+ bux JBL UA earphone, battery died, rubber came off, cable 1 sided sound within 1 yr JBL flip 4 and 5, battery died within 1year plus, rubber on speaker damaged making horrible sound All in all I won't buy JBL again, sound is ok but there are better ones out there. quality is cheapo I have UE speakers 5years on, battery strong, sound strong, sounds better too
Absolutely no review is talking about, the connection problems the earbuds have, go read about sound cutting problems many many people have with these earbuds( including me)
@@joaopaulocancio9385 yes i had to switch to other phone i had Xiaomi phones and on my Samsung s24 ultra it had it as well but after software update on earphones it's now been fixed. At least it sees so...

Thanks for watching! Pretty effective noise cancelers indeed. I do agree about the volume 😁
How is the transparency mode , does the outside voice sound natural?
I brought this yesterday and I was blown away

Me pasó lo mismo
The JBL family of buds rank very high in the Buds of Honour hierarchy👍🏼

Hi Aaron how is the fit, secure and comfort? Also, can it use either one bud at a time? I'm looking at this, Jabra elite 7 active and Beats studio bud plus. Thanks!
It's pretty secure for stem-style earbuds, and you can use just one at a time.
i can't choose between jbl live pro 2 and galaxy buds 2 pro. i only care about the sound quality. help me ASAP
Same here
@henriquerodrigues9449 bro i have tested both. I went with galaxy buds 2 pro. Jbl is bassy but not that quality bassy. Samsung is crystal clear and bassy while bass is so quality. And u can consider buying oneplus buds pro 2
JBL live pro 2 or JBL Tour Pro 2? Which sounds the best?

Why doesnt anyone make protective cases for this device, a rugged one that could latch onto your belt
Just about sound quality, JBL Pro 2 vs Liberty 4 NC, who is the winner
For me JBL pro 2 😉
Nice video congratulations
Great video!
Would you recommend this over Google Pixel Buds Pro.
THanks
For me JBL live pro 2 with eq beats most of all of earbuds with sound.

I’ve tried both and kept the JBLs. Liberty 4 have paper thin treble to the point they sound like 40$ buds. Bass is good tho. V disappointed. JBLs balanced and sound great
How do they compare with the Redmi Buds 4 Pro?
I have Thr Pink And Black Colour. The black is louder than the pink one
Hola! Buen día, entre los samsung buds2 y jbl live pro 2 cuál elegirías? Tengo iphone y tuve los airpods pero fueron una mala experiencia
JBL siempre.
i was waiting this comparison.Which one is louder for volume (jbl live pro 2 vs sony linkbuds s)
The Live Pro 2 sounds a bit louder
Hello bro, I still can’t decide which is better, I use an iPhone and look towards JBL as they are cheaper, but there are doubts whether they will be worse than Airpods pro 2? Will they play just as well on the iPhone?
They sound better for music than the AirPods to my ears. But noise canceling is noticeably better on the AirPods.
There is now **JBL Tour Pro 2**
Could you review those too?
This JBL is better than Samsung buds2 pro?
i am watching your review with JBL Live Pro 2 :D
How is the comfort ? Also how is the transparency mode ?
@@YUTfan2 very comfort, sound better than AirPods Pro, anc good, but transparent mode on AirPods Pro feels better than JBL

Im facing too much wind noise during riding bike ...in ANC mode ...is that normal air some issue with mine.?.
Can anyone help
? anc doesn’t do miracles lol if you able on a bike obviously you gonna hear something
can you tell me please how to factory reset these bud?
Live pro 2 is more balanced and wider than 2 Sony
Hi can somebody tell me, is these buds are good for calling?
they are... but I can not figure out which setting should I keep for the person on the other side of the call to hear me the best with the least noise
FYI the audios gonna be different on devices, I hope you know that.
