The JBL Live Free NC+ TWS earbuds come with a small, bulbous body that has a flat outward-facing side imprinted with the JBL logo. The surface includes touch-sensitive controls that allow you to control the sound of your music. The earbuds can be inserted into your tragus and a tight seal forms to muffle the world even when the optional ANC is turned off. Furthermore, the rubber fins on the body of the buds aid in keeping the earpieces securely in place under your antihelix. This body type is similar to the slightly more expensive Live Free earbuds, but it has a smaller price tag.
The JBL Live Free NC+ TWS earbuds offer a playtime of 7 hours with ANC turned off, 6 hours with ANC turned on, and 14 hours of wireless charging from the included case. It takes about 2 hours to fully recharge them. In comparison, the JBL Tour PRO+ TWS offers a slightly increased 8 hours of playtime with ANC off, 6 hours with ANC on, and 32 total hours of battery life when the case is included.
The JBL Live Free NC+ TWS is a great option for people who want to keep their music with them without having to carry around an extra device. Simply remove the earbuds from the charging case and pair them with your phone, and you’re ready to go. The Bluetooth 5.1 support ensures stable connections, even when there’s interference from other devices nearby. ..
The controls on the left and right earbuds are confusing. You can’t adjust the volume one tap at a time, or control playback or ambient sound. What’s more, there are three groups of controls that don’t seem to work together.
