Product Does it All
These headphones stay in my ears through movement but are still very comfortable. I barely notice them in my ears when I am working out and moving around, but they still do not fall out. On top of being durable, these headphones provide great sound. They can get loud without compromising any sound quality. The headphones are great for calls and sending texts too. The call quality is outstanding. The battery life is tremendous. The charging case is convenient and easily fits into my pockets.

Not too bad, but not too good
Have been wearing these as my primary set for the past few weeks, definitely great sound for the size. They stay well in your ear if you're using the right size earbud, but they only came with 3 sizes so it was hard to find a good fit at first. Having tried these with A LOT of bass music, they're solid on low end and midrange; which you should come to expect from JBL at this point. No matter the size or type of headphones, they always have well balanced and high quality sound. Some great examples of this are - Alix Perez and EPROM - 'Chiron', Lane 8 - 'Loving You - Lane 8 Rework', and James Blake - 'Limit To Your Love'. My main issues are the headphones themselves: They're very plasticy, and I worry about dropping them because they seem very fragile. The buttons for pausing and skipping tracks are strangely positioned directly above my ear canal, so when I push in to press the button it pushes the bud deeper to my ear, which hurts after a while. Sometimes when I open the case and go to connect to my phone, only one bud wakes up and connects so I have to put them back in the case to reset the process. Doesn't happen all the time, but enough for me to mention it as an issue. Other than the body and buttons, the sound is beautiful as always. Happy with these, and will continue to put them into rotation for dog walks and workouts.

    Compact earbuds with great audio range
    These aren't the loudest earbuds in JBL's Tune series but they provide an excellent dynamic range of sound, with solid bass, crisp upper register, and a round full middle. It transitions easily between media and phone features. The sound on the other end of the call was reported to be clear but a little on the quiet side. The combo carrying/charging case is smaller than others on the market, which is good for portability. Initial setup was a breeze. The fit is snug and secure, making exercise and other routine activities comfortable, without concern of them popping out. Battery life is super long, which means even if you forget to charge the carrying case once or twice, you'll still have plenty of listening time.

    Great sounding earbuds at an affordable price
    I am listening to the JBL Tune 115TWS as I write this review. The sound quality is very good. It's impressive how JBL manages to offer such affordable earbuds that sound this good. The issue with many earbuds is that they tend to sound tinny because they lack bass which is not the case with these. The sound is well balanced with an emphasis on bass. A major factor in earbud sound quality aside from the drivers of course is the seal in the ear canal provided by the ear tips as well as the material used for them. JBL provides 3 ear tip sizes, small, medium and large. For me the large fit best and do not fall off. The material and size combination provide a perfect seal to the point that the earbuds cancel out a lot of the ambient sound. These are not active noise cancelling earbuds however under normal circumstances they do cancel out a lot of ambient noise because of the great ear tips provided. The battery life is rated at 6 hours for the earbuds with a 2-hour charging time from empty. The case battery life is rated at 15 hours and can be charged via USB-C. JBL provides a short USB-A to USB-C charging cable. Another great feature is that the charging case has 3 LED lights to indicate the cases approximate level of charge. The earbuds voice sound quality during phones calls is good. I called my wife using the earbuds and she rated the voice quality an impressive 8.0 out of 10. I recommend these to anyone looking for good sounding earbuds without breaking the bank. They come in two colors black or white and are affordable while providing great sound and good battery life.

    works well
    Works well while walking or doing chores. Good clarity and well balanced bass. Can't hear others speaking while wearing them though. Comfortable in ear for up to an hour or so. Charges fast and battery lasts decent amount of time.

    Amazing sound, would really rate it 4.5 stars
    These earbuds sound amazing. The case is very compact, and it charges very quickly. My only complaint would be the instructions that come with it. There are no words, just pictures. Make sure you have your readers on too because the print is small. I was having trouble getting the earbuds to stay in my ears and then discovered I had missed the little arrow indicating you needed to twist them once in your ears so they nestle down in the base/back of your ear. Then they stayed in my ear and didn't fall out. After that I made sure to analyze with a fine-tooth comb all of the pictures. There isn't an app to control these buds, so there's no way to adjust the bass or anything. Although it sounded amazing without changing anything, I'm sure there could be someone who would prefer to adjust them somehow. Overall good investment.

    Good enough but lacks important features
    I'm in mixed emotions for these earbuds. Although there are pros, it definitely comes with cons as well. Sound: "JBL Pure Bass Sound" was stated on the box but these didn't sound anything "pure" or special. Was the sound quality bad? No. But it's definitely not at the same level as other JBL products. Price could be a factor in this downgrade but overall, the sound just didn't meet my expectations. The bass isn't that punchy, the mids and overall vocals didn't feel clear and the highs were kind of dry. It's hard to explain but it feels like has the potential to be clearer but the sound is being blocked. However, the earbuds are quite loud. You wouldn't hear a thing if you increased the volume all the way. Also, these cannot be connected to the JBL Headphones app to adjust the sound or customize the on-earbud buttons which was hard to get used to since all of my JBL products do connect and I developed a variety of presets for each genre to enhance the listening experience. [Microphone]: People said that I sound good during phone and video calls so they get the job done in the built-in microphone aspect. Charging case: It's a very solid and impressive case I must say. It's more compact and sturdier compared to my Live 300 TWS. It has a nice matt black finish and it looks sleek. Just like the rest of the earbuds I own; they have magnets as well. So as soon as you get close to their designated spots for charging, the magnets pull and automatically put earbuds to their place for charging. The magnets are very strong and I love that they place the earbuds correctly every time I drop them in. There are LED indicators on the charging case which I'll talk about in the next paragraph. Battery life: Meets JBL expectations. It charges fast, the battery lasts a long time and no problems regarding it. However, since the earbuds can't connect to the JBL Headphones app, you can't tell what's the percentage on each earbud or the case. You can keep one earbud in the case and use the other, which is a great feature but then how am I supposed to know the different battery levels on each earbud? The case has 3 LED indicators for the battery (could've been 4!!!) so you have some sort of idea on the battery. But other than that, you can't fully figure out the battery percentage. The iconic orange charging cable that came in the box is also very short. It's a USB C cable so a replacement is available everywhere but it's strange that the cable is quite short. It can leave the case hanging if the outlet is too far up which is not how I prefer to charge my earbuds. On-earbud control buttons: Not my favorite. Both on my Live 300 TWS and Reflect Mini NC, the controls are by touch. You get to control the earbuds with minimal effort and pressure. On these earbuds, you have to press. So, imagine a finger going into your ear each time you pause/play, go forward/back to tracks. Some people might absolutely be fine with that but it personally bothers me. The structure of the earbuds isn't comfortable enough to keep pressing. The outside area (where the JBL logo, battery, LED light are located) puts pressure against my outer ear and it's not pleasant. There also isn't an option to change the volume level on the earbuds. You have to increase it with the volume control buttons on your phone which is not very convenient. Fit: Although they are shaped differently, they don't fall out of my ears. They stay in their place quite well when I'm moving around. However, they're not the most comfortable earbuds I have tried. It could be because of the oval shape/structure of the earbuds. They are fine with 1-2 hour commutes but it hurts the ear after 4-5 hours but then you have to take them out to charge anyways so it's not a deal breaker. Overall, these earbuds would get the job done if you commute and/or work from home and need a pair to use every day. However, considering that there are more JBL alternatives at this price point, I would choose a different pair. Although the built-quality is very nice, the lack of features drives me away from these earbuds.

    Solid choice with some nice features
    These earbuds are a fantastic choice if you want small earbuds that give you quality sound while still letting you hear everything around you. The connect almost instantly, are intuitive to use, and even fit comfortably in my small ears that often make this style of earbud difficult for me to wear. These are a nice go-to choice when I want to listen to music or audiobooks when I'm doing stuff around the house or out for a walk and still want to be able to hear what is going on around me. However, I had trouble with them falling out if I was doing too much activity (not great for running), and they won't cancel out other noises, so you'll want to keep that in mind. My FAVORITE feature, though, is that there's an actual button on each earbud that you can push to play/pause or to skip forward/backward. Too many other earbuds are missing that feature and either require tapping (which never quite works) or don't have a start/stop option, so this was a nice surprise!

    Awesome Low Cost Wireless Headphones for Cost
    Nice sounding and good fit with the multiple sized ear pieces. Really like the push button options for Siri and other controls. Better than the digital type buttons. Review of cost is reasonable and recommend these to my friends.

    Price does not Match the Audio Quality
    Just got my earbuds and I sadly am returning them because I feel as if the price does not match the quality. First, the good parts, I found the casing very nice! It was small and portable and could fit in a pocket. I would only call it bulky if you were comparing it to an AirPods case which is flat. It also closed well so you wouldn't have to worry about if it closed or not. The earbuds themselves looked a little bulky but I think if you were worried about how "stylish" it was you shouldn't worry because I don't think it is bulky enough for people to take notice. My favorite part of the earbuds was how they fit in the ears. They felt like they were snug, not gonna fall out, and it also felt like they had that sound-canceling aspect. I say felt because I never gave it the chance to test it out. Now the bad. I don't have much experience when it comes to paying anything more than 15 dollars for earbuds so I did a test comparing knock-off AirPods that were 15 dollars to these. The first thing was the sound. The sound felt like I was listening to music that was in another room. My 15 dollars felt right in my ear while these ones made it feel like my earbud fell out or is going to fall out. It was a strange feeling because I knew they were snug in my ear but the audio felt so distant that it gave me the feeling that music was accidentally playing out of my phone instead of through my earbuds. This was in both earbuds so I wouldn't say this was just maybe a fluke. It did get just as loud as my 15 dollars. I tested this by recording the loudest earbud in my 15 dollars set with my phone and recording the sound of these earbuds with my phone as well at the same distance. Note: The 15 dollar earbuds are slowly breaking down so one earpiece is quieter than the other. The next thing I noticed was that my earbuds didn't share the same audio quality in both ears. My left ear had more base and my right had a little base with quieter audio. Another note: I used the same song for each test that I did to keep consistency. This is another reason why I don't think my music sounding like it's in another room is just a fluke and actually is just how the earbuds are supposed to be. My last and final complaint is the pairing. They pair well and quickly but if you are a one earbud type person they'll get annoying because when you switch to the next earpiece it disconnects and you have to repair the already charged piece back to your device. I was very excited about using JBL earbuds and sad that the audio quality is worse than the 15 dollar earbuds. I think I would have dealt with all of my other complaints and kept the earbuds if only it didn't sound so distant. I wouldn't buy and would just keep on looking for something better.

    Excellent Sound Properties
    The old saying is "dynamite comes in small packages" and these ear buds are tangible proof! The sound quality is phenomenal with bright highs and a more than respectable bottom line. Very comfortable to the ears with little or no fatigue to speak of and not prone to shaking loose even while jogging. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Smaller True Wireless In-Ear with Terrific Sound!
    The JBL Tune 115 TWS is a remarkable set of In-Ear Headphones! Here's a quick run-down of their features. First off, they are a small (case too) peanut-sized ear pod that delivers incredible sound! Small, medium and large earpads (included) ensure a fit that's just right. There's lots of bass and the mid-range sounds really good. Top it off with sweet sounding highs. There's no hiss or static. Now I know what the inside of a recording studio sounds like :) Pairing is very easy. Use them in stereo mode, or one at a time (I often do this when listening to audio books) There are options for track back and track forward. The buttons on them are soft press. Volume is controlled easily by your phone. They are VERY comfortable – NO ear strain and, with a simple twist, they stay put. Battery life a crazy good, and off course the case (with its separate hidden magnets means you can't put them in the wrong way) yields several chargings before charging the whole case via the USB-to-C adaptor (included) Say goodbye to micro USB! Yes! I want to say ‘Thank You' to JBL for making the JBL Tune 115 TWS with such QUALITY! I highly recommend these ear buds!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Another great product
    these JBL Tune 115TWS headphones are great. From first seeing them in their box to using immediately they were perfect. Easy to use and had exceptional sound quality which we all have come to expect from JBL! I was able to use right out of the box without charging, setup with Bluetooth was flawless. Very comfortable to wear. I loved listening to to music while I moved all around my house. Easy to charge all cables included. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for high quality headphones. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Earpods
    Battery life is excellent, sound is sharp, overall fit is on point. I used these while I was cleaning my garage over the weekend. Then did yardwork. Then did laundry all from a previous overnight charge. Surprisingly it did not come off nor the battery died even in the cold weather. These pods are dependable and noise canceling too as my kids had to tap me on the shoulder as I don't hear them calling me. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Great clarity and features, but...
    First, my complaint. The size and shape makes them difficult to get situated in your ear. They're about the size of a dime. Don't get me wrong, you figure it out after a time, but some people may not like them, especially if you have big hands/fingers. Now the good!! They clarity and range is what you would expect from JBL at this price point. Good bass and the overall sound quality is terrific (Amazon HD Music was used for testing). The features take a little getting used to, but that's just b/c they're multi-function. The fact that the case recharges them is a bonus for me as I use these while in the yard and can charge them when I take a break. No cables necessary if the case is charged up. They sound even better (more isolation) with some Comply Foam tips, and they help them stay in better, IMO. Overall, I do recommend them. Just look at the specs first so you know how small they are.

    Compact Case!!!
    These things are well designed and very well put together!! I love that they are so easy to connect to your phone. Once you've connected them the next time they connect automatically. The volume could be louder but I'm sure it's a Safety factor. But All in All 5 Stars!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    No Bass - Zero Cables is the correct box labeling
    I was very excited to review these since I love JBL/Harman products. First off these are my first jelly bean style ear bud. I quickly changed out the medium ear adapter for the smallest. I was surprised that they were very comfortable and stayed seated in my ears all day with out much movement or fear of loss. Pairing was seamless on my iOS device. Sound is where they lost me. There was no bass. The highs are elevating but there was no foundation to any music that I listen to ( mostly Top 40). I aslo listen to talk radio and it was actually very good for that. I also tried to listen to some DMB and it was great for the vocals and the acoustic portions of the songs, but as soon as any bass presents itself it is completely lost and barely noticeable. The instructions provided were easy enough to use and controls were just as easy. The charge case seems sturdy and the hinge feels secure besides for being large. Not something you would grab and throw in your pocket. The Case is a backpack item. The case did charge up quickly as indicated and the buds did charge up fast as well. At the current advertised price point they are just Ok. There may be other products better at the same or slightly higher dollar number. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
