Performance
The bass is indeed impressive, providing a rich, full sound that’s enjoyable for many genres of music. However, at higher volumes, some distortion was noticeable. The fit is comfortable enough for extended wear; I experienced no significant discomfort even during hour-long listening sessions. Battery life exceeded my expectations; I easily got through a full day and then some on a single charge, making the speed charging a useful, but less-critical feature. The hands-free calling functionality worked surprisingly well, providing clear audio during calls even in moderately noisy environments. The water and dust resistance proved handy during unexpected rain showers.
While the sound quality is generally good, I noticed a slightly lacking clarity in the higher frequencies, making some details sound a bit muddled in comparison to other earbuds in a similar price range. Pairing with my phone was seamless and consistent. The touch controls on the earbuds were responsive, though occasionally a bit finicky.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Deep bass, comfortable fit, excellent battery life, effective speed charging, good call quality, water and dust resistance.
- Cons: Slight distortion at high volume, slightly muddy high frequencies, touch controls can be inconsistent.
Final Verdict
Overall, the JBL Wave Buds (JBLWBUDSBLK) offer a compelling combination of features and performance. The long battery life and comfortable fit make them excellent for daily use. The sound quality is enjoyable, particularly the impressive bass response. While minor shortcomings exist concerning clarity at higher frequencies and occasional touch control inconsistencies, these are outweighed by the numerous benefits. I would recommend these earbuds to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable pair of true wireless earbuds with a long battery life and enjoyable sound.
