FAQS

Can you use one earbud at a time or do you have to use both all the time?

You can use only one but both have to be connected. You can’t put one back in the case because then, both will disconnect. I usually place the other one in my pocket when I want to use only one. This works out pretty well.

Can my wife wear one an i wear one while we walk so we can listen to same music

Yes. The right side is the main, with the mic for calls. The left is the slave unit. The left only works when the right is in use. If you only use one ear bud, it has to be the right.

How loud is the volume? Also how easy are the controls?

These headphones aren’t skull candies. So they’re not made to blow your ear off. They’re made with quality of sound in mind. When you have them fitted properly, you won’t hear anything from the outside so the volume doesn’t need to be high. As far as controls, if you have it fitted properly, it’s fine. But if not, clicking that button will shove it into your ear. Not comfy.

How long is the battery life span?

Battery life is 4 hours max.

Compatible with MacBook?

I was able to get these to connect to my MacBookPro after disconnecting my keyboard and mouse and reconnecting after these connected through the bluetooth. It was process to figure out, but it finally worked.

Can you workout with them?

Yes you can… BUT, you need to make sure you have a proper fit with the silicone pieces. Do a head shake test before you go do activities

How is bass sound or quality of sound from these?

These buds have a wider frequency response than any of the others I have researched: 10-22,000 hz vs. the usual 20-20000 hz. Below 20 hz is inaudible for most people. But the feels the vibration. You can feel i in the great rumbling excitement of a large pipe organ. I read that that the Blackpool (UK) Tower organ reaches down to 4 hz. I’m very happy with the sound here in all the ranges and I am intrigued with how the extra 10 hz might boost the bass.

Can you leave your phone in the car and still be able to answer your calls ?

the bluetooth has a range at around 8m. The phone must be near of headphone within this range.

Will it work with alexa?

Yes its good

Are this compatible with android phones?

This does work for Android as long as Bluetooth 4.2 is supported.

Where can i get replacement ear tips?

You can always buy it from them and overpay. Or you can just buy a generic brand. They all fit. It’s a universal fit, I’ve been able to use tips from other earpieces on my jbls. I recommend getting foam ones if you’re gonna spend good money. They stay in longer and are more comfortable.

Are these Sweat/Water-proof?

Our JBL Free is rated IPX5 which can stand water splashing at any angle.

Wireless charging available?

The wireless charger will charge about 4 times before it needs to be plugged in and charged. So…yes…wireless charging.

Is there anywhere to buy a replacement charging case for these? Please help.

You can visit: JBL.com

How good is the fit for biking while wearing these?

I use these on my mountain bike daily. Only one time has the left headphone popped out. They are very nice!

Are they waterproof?

No
