@robson ouch that’s the killer probably. Many of those fail after a few years (which is where we may be at for these items. On the other hand I have some things with Li-Ions that still work fine after 8+ years. So, do you feel lucky, punk?
There good if you aren’t picky about how they sound and you only listen to music for 30 minutes. Have to recharge ya know. Great gift for Bdays & Xmas. Like most of you I stock up all year to escape the malls or Amazon last minute crap
Betting the batteries are starting to lose their freshness and putting them in the fridge isn’t going to help.
Wife and son asked for jogging/workout buds at dinner. Should I get these? I always believe JimsReviews, he hasn’t let me down.
Lots of reviewers are concerned with the poor quality Bluetooth connection. I think if you’re doing something active with these it might cause a problem.
@jetkins@unksol btw reminds me of the funniest conversation I had with Siri.
me: “Siri, that’s the most useless answer you’ve given me”
Siri: “that’s not very nice”
me: “but it’s true!”
Siri: True Dat
Wireless in that they aren’t connected to the player by a wire. Kind of like that if I pick up one I get the pair–and easier to find the one that fell out while I was going through a workout without backtracking and scanning the ground.
The thing about Jabra is that they have solid stuff at the high end, but they also slap their name on some real crap at the low end. And cheap BT headphones are the worst. If you want cheap headphones, just suck it up and plug them in.
Oh so close to getting these for the wife and son, but I remember getting some low end Jabra sport buds a few years ago and they were .
Jimsreviews never steered me wrong, but I can’t pull the trigger and disappoint the fam.
These buds are now about a generation behind. Lousy BT with lousy range. Sound ok? not really, unless you get the gels in deep, but, for me, the smaller sizes slip out and the larger one doesn’t go far enough.
These are my Zoom meeting pairs, and the less-wire part that works for me is that I don’t pull my laptop on the floor, nor rip of my ears when I stand to refill my coffee cup. In the realm of low expectations, these work for me
I think mine decided to go on a cattle drive in Texas, they got there and disappeared for ten days now. I’m honestly really curious how Meh ships this stuff.
Took a while to get here and ended up calling Jabra as the pairing instructions were wrong. Have to hold down the + and multifunction key at the same time. Now, work well, but the range is a heck of a lot less than I anticipated–like no further than the back pocket short.
I bought these June 2020 thinking they’d be decent backups & good for mowing the lawn (b/c no $ heart attack if my teenager mowed over them). Alas, we never got to test that. BOTH pairs turned on & tested ok out of the box , with acceptable sound quality. The first one lasted less than a day. I don’t mean it needed to be recharged. It flatlined. I figured that was why there were two, so I switched to the 2nd pair, which would not even power on again. I emailed Meh support and received no response. So, while not a tremendous loss, I was still pretty disappointed.

Amazon reviewers were rough on these. I’m still considering. Help me…
@Bigbearballs If you are in arm’s reach of earbuds, do not buy. If you are in arm’s reach of a credit card, go online and buy better ones.
“But these Jabba earbuds? They’re, well, actually pretty good.”
@JT954 Jabba the Budds!
Are these the same ones selling for $9.99 at Walmart?
@nzdod Looks like it. Same guy wearing them.

@nzdod
You da MVP.
@nzdod thanks for this post so many times I just Assume that meh.com is the cheapest price.
@dino2269 @nzdod Wally & I thanks u for the price watch. Meh don’t* do their homework.
@dino2269 anytime Dino…never assume.

@nzdod Turns out no, Walmart’s have a different part number. These are nice.
I love that the Amazon description says
and
Many of the reviews are really old as well, 2015-2017. Obsolete model with probably sketchy ability to hold a charge…

Yikes! The Amazon reviews are not selling it.
Man, I got excited. Then the rest of page loaded.
Does anybody see the price. For $12 a pair what are you expecting? They’re $12 and worth that and then some. Come on peeps get with the program !!!
@Wrestledad63 But as nzdod pointed out earlier, you can get them at Walmart for $9.99. And you don’t have to buy 2 pairs.
@Trinityscrew @Wrestledad63 Turns out Walmart gets different pair.

Hard pass
I mean I can see the wires
@unksol That’s why I came here. W-I-R-E-L-E-S-S used to mean something.
@unksol apparently “true wireless” is the new wireless.

Perhaps they should call them “less wire”.
“Headphoneless Wires” is closer to the truth.
Good lord. Earbuds are this year’s candy corn, huh Meh?

Your reviews were good, but Amazon had a lot of bad reviews. So,decided to cancel order. Sorry.

I don’t get what everyone is complaining about. These have worked great.
Pitney Bowes sucks

@Felixaurelius same here. Was coming to see if others had the same issue…obviously
Wish I could just get my money back.
Mine made it to California and now it’s been taking a walkabout.
mine are in Greenwood IN since June 6th ordered June 2 ???

I have only one thing to say about this product.
