Super headphones with one flaw
The many setting options are impressive. The volume of ambient noise can be adjusted. As soon as I speak, the SmartTalk function turns down the music and activates the microphones. You don't have to remove the earpiece when you're talking to someone. If I stop talking, the music comes on again. Unfortunately, this also happens when you cough, for example. Listening to music on your smartphone while connected to your laptop: If a call comes in via Teams, the music switches off. The call can be answered. When I end the call, the music automatically switches back on.
Now the disappointment: the ANC, i.e. the noise cancellation, does not meet my expectations. For example, engine noises from a vehicle are filtered cleanly, but voices and the like are not filtered at all. My predecessors, the Huawei FreeBuds Pro Gen1, which have been on the market for a long time, do a much better job. On the other hand, they don't offer as many super setting options.
I'm still delighted with them and would buy them again in a heartbeat. If the ANC were better, the headphones would be fantastic.Pro

PERFEKT
Ingenious
I have finally found the perfect in-ear headphones. The charging case charges quickly and has many more options than others. The sound is geared more towards bass, so when listening to classical music, adjust the equaliser manually via the app. The headphones fit extremely well and there is no problem with movement. I am happy with this decision and enjoy every minute with this product. Absolutely top 👍
Pro
- In ear headphones that fit well yet are comfortable.
Contra
- I think about it, but I can't think of anything.
Perfection
A new level from jbl, totally satisfied
High-quality, innovative, bass-heavy
For what you pay, you get a solid pair of earphones. But what does that actually mean? In short, this: it has minor weaknesses or peculiarities that can be overcome given the price. The noise cancelling, for example, is decent, but not at the top level The microphones for calls are okay, but not perfect. The sound is equipped with a lot of bass, and it’s still well-suited for lovers of electronic sounds or music with autotune in general. It’s all rounded off with plenty of features for audio nerds, a great charging case and miraculous battery life.
Bottom line is:Pro
- Bass and richness of detail in the sound
- Powerful battery
- LDAC on Android
- Endless features in the app and on the case
Contra
- Sound not particularly balanced or precise
- ANC with weaknesses
- Frequent callers need the app feature, otherwise you’ll hear «crackling»
