Title: Affordable Quality Earbuds
Review: Hello! Speaker lover here. I recently bought this a week ago and received them recently. Tested them out.If you bought these because of bass and you love bass, the bass selections that are already on the app donât work at all and only add just about 5 percent extra bass if you chose one.Youâd have to play with the EQ in order to get the bass to work. Since I love speakers a lot and find them fun to use and enjoy the bass part. Iâve messed with the EQ on my phone and got the bass where itâs strong and sounds good but also to where you can still hear it.I also found out that clear to the right on EQ, if you wanted to hear more of the voice, then move the label 4K up higher. It will decrease the bass by a small percentage but still give you that advantage to listen to the bass and still hear the voice louder.Lowering the 4K will add more bass and lower the voice.Iâve provided screenshots of what my configurations are on the EQ and what my general settings are for these earbuds from JBL.My final review is the color is cool, the case is well durable, the earbuds themself are comfortable in your ears, they work well and have a high volume sound. They last a good amount of hours as well which is a big + for me.I did notice someone had posted a review regarding the EQ, Iâve used their EQ style and it flattens the bass and does not give you the bass you want. Otherwise, hopefully this EQ I set up works for others!

Title: Top quality audio after a few adjustments
Review: This review is about the audio features of the JBL Vibe Beam earbuds.I’m an audio engineer so audio quality is very important to me. As such, I use wired connections as much as possible to maintain the integrity of the audio signal. However, many newer consumer-level products no longer have audio jacks, so I finally decided to invest in some wireless earbuds as a backup to the other earphones and headphones that I use. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money as I didn’t foresee myself using this product very much, and since this is my first foray into wireless audio earphones, if they were just ok or they broke after a while, then I wouldn’t feel too bad about the little money that I spent. Also, I wanted to focus on finding wireless earbuds with excellent audio quality first as I already have an excellent high-end bluetooth earpiece for cell phone use, and I wouldn’t be using this product as a bluetooth headset for my phone.After doing much research, I chose the JBL Vibe Beam’s as they were at my price point, I’m familiar with JBL products, and I could reasonably expect that they were likely deliver the high audio quality that I’ve come to expect from JBL products. In my research, I read reviews that complained about the harshness of the high end with high frequency instruments like cymbals or the lack of bass, so I was a bit concerned.When I received and started listening to my JBL Vibe Beams I understood what people were talking about. However, to correct the issues, first, one must have a great fit of the earbuds in their ears. I’m fortunate, in that with the medium tips that were already installed on the Vibe Beams, they made a snug fit in my ears right out of the box. If you find that these earbuds do not fit well in your ears it might be worthwhile to invest in a separate set of variable sized earbud tips, or try tips from one of your other well-fitting earbuds, if you have them. Once the earbuds were seated properly in my ear, that took care of the poor bass issue. (I have not worn them long-term so I can’t speak to them falling out of my ear, as others have mentioned, but they seem to stay in pretty well.)For the misaligned frequency response issue, fortunately, the JBL Headphone app that you can install on your cell phone includes a ten-band graphic equalizer that you can use to make adjustments to the frequency response of your earbuds. After listening to several of the reference tracks I use to check new audio equipment or my mixes against, I found that the only adjustments needed were carving out some of the upper midrange and making a very slight boost in the bottom end of the lower frequency spectrum. I’ve included a screenshot of my EQ curve which I based on the Bass preset in the JBL app. You can’t tell as there is no dB scale on the side, but I needed to cut or boost by only 1-2 dB. I find that my new EQ curve gives a more balanced frequency response than what came out of the box, and matches up well against the reference speaker system and headphones that I use for my audio mixing and mastering work. I invite you to use my EQ curve as a starting point and adjust as sounds best to you.I also read reviews complaining about the apparent lack of volume of the Vibe Beams. I connected the JBL’s to several different sources (phone, computer, TV, MP3 player, etc.) and I found that the overall maximum volume (with limiter off) is relatively lower than wired speaker versions. However, the input to the JBL’s is relative to the maximum output of the source itself. I found that the loudest level I could get came from my iPhone and the lowest level output came from my MP3 player (which probably doesn’t offer much output anyway being a tiny portable unit). As a comparison, I did a side-by-side test of the JBL’s with my wife’s AirPods (2nd gen). What I found was that the JBL’s offered an almost identical audio output level as the AirPods with any of the sources I used so that confirmed that the output level of the JBL’s has more to do with the source (and the source material as some songs are mastered at a lower volume than other songs) than with the earbuds themselves. During my test, I put the JBL’s at their maximum volume output (one tap at a time on the left bud to raise the volume). Also, I noticed during my testing that the AirPods had a pleasing midrange sound perfect for listening to podcasts or watching video, but the JBL’s excelled at full-range sound on the bottom and top ends of the frequency spectrum which made them sound much better over all and well-suited for music or listening to explosive action scenes in movies.And speaking of movies, the JBL app has a switchable audio/video mode. The video mode reduces the latency of the delivery of audio against picture, so there isn’t a noticeable lip-sync issue with dialogue in a scene. However, there is a slight degradation in the audio quality of ‘video’ mode versus ‘audio’ mode, but you will have to make the determination if the change in audio quality is acceptable to you.As a side note, I included a picture of the inner side of the earbuds. The ‘L’ and ‘R’ designations on the earbuds are tiny as you can see, plus they are the same color as the earbuds themselves, so they are very hard to see. I wish JBL had made the L/R letters bigger or at least made them a different color so they would be easier to see.The pairing process was fairly easy with all my bluetooth-capable devices and the range was good, only dropping out after walking approximately 60-70 feet from the source. There was one momentary dropout during my listening but that could be due to my wife using her AirPods the same time as I was using the JBL’s.I can’t speak to the other features of the JBL Vibe Beams as I don’t intend to use them, but as far as audio quality goes, with just a few minor tweaks, these bluetooth earbuds can go from sounding like a $50 pair of earbuds to a $500 pair of reference earphones.

Title: Decent ear buds, but fit isn’t exact and battery life is questionable
Review: I had to replace a set of headphones that stopped working. So this time I thought I would try a set of earbuds instead. I know JBL usually have good products, price was decent, so I thought I would try these.First I will say the sound and volume are pretty good. If you are using these on your phone, the JBL app also makes a big difference with the equalizer and the other “hear through” type features if you don’t want to block out all noise. Really wish they had a similar app for PC, as I use them on my laptop more than my phone. And is really when I need to hear people talking etc.With that said, the fit isn’t great, I tried all the different sizes of the rubber covers, but none seem to fit right in my left ear for some reason. I’ve had it fall out once already when just bending over to pick something up off the floor.They are also difficult to get out of the case, the lid should open further or just have a way to grab a hold of them easier.The battery life is ok, but doesn’t seem to be anywhere near the 32 hours listed, including the recharge feature of the case. I’ve gotten about half that, before they kept telling me they were “low battery”. And I had to charge them and the case both back up.all in all, these may work good for some people. I am thinking about returning them and trying something else though.

Review: I needed a pair of Bluetooth buds for my phone, especially when going out and needing to charge it. I was a long time wired bud user. I’m grateful to have these for the times I need them separately! The battery life is great. The sound is fantastic, I love the quality of what I can listen to.They’re affordable and easy to use.The case has a small light to let you know if they’re charged or not. Very handy!

Review: I recently purchased the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless Earbuds, and I have to say they’ve been a solid addition to my tech collection. One of the first things I noticed is how well they fit in my ears, providing a comfortable and secure feel. The ergonomic design ensures they stay in place, even during more active moments.Sound quality is a standout feature of these earbuds. The audio is crisp, clear, and rich, delivering an immersive experience whether I’m listening to music, watching videos, or taking calls. The bass is particularly impressive, adding depth to the overall audio quality.The mobile application that comes with the JBL Vibe Beam is a game-changer. It allows for convenient customization of settings, giving me control over my audio experience. From adjusting equalizer settings to managing touch controls, the app enhances the overall user experience and tailors the earbuds to individual preferences.Considering the price point, these earbuds offer great value for money. They provide a seamless and enjoyable listening experience without breaking the bank. The build quality is sturdy, and the overall design exudes a sleek and modern aesthetic.In conclusion, the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless Earbuds are a good investment for those looking for a reliable and affordable option. With a comfortable fit, impressive sound quality, and a useful mobile app, they deliver on multiple fronts, making them a solid choice in the competitive market of true wireless earbuds.
