I bought these last time, I liked them, but the Bluetooth connectivity started dropping randomly just this week. I’m currently working through JBL’s warranty process, so I’m hesitant to buy more before I see how this all goes
I got these the last time around for workouts and they’re pretty decent. Sound is fine, they don’t fall out, and there’s no “wire noise” from the wires flapping around
I started out wanting to know more about these headphones, but I got totally distracted by Technosteve.
If he likes how these squeeze his neck so much, I wonder if he’s discovered the joy and wonder of wearing turtlenecks.
And if I ever happen to see Technosteve backflipping down the highway of life with his trusty JBLs firmly planted in his earholes, I wonder if he’ll hear me when I honk? Bless his heart rate.
@Mescolito I actually perused the review oeuvre of Technosteve. I’d say a solid 50% are tongue in cheek. I wonder if he knows about his 15 minutes of internet fame.
I bought these last time. They paired easily, sounded great, stayed in place while running, good battery life.
Then after a month, I started having bizarre issues. A little back-story, I have, what some folks might call, a delicate homeostasis, or what other people call, a tendency to turn into a disgusting sweat monster. I think sweat started causing issues. The heart rate sensor button would seemingly short out, giving constant heartbeat notifications, and “adjust earbud” issues. It would turn on even when I never turned it on and just wanted to use them as regular headphones. Finally, the headphones talk over whatever is playing, without pause, so this made podcasts impossible to listen to when they would act up. I have since shelved them for Monster ear buds sold a few weeks back. Except for the creepy sultry voice that tells you when you are connected, they are way better than these JBL ones (and I did the quantity vs the quantity choice).
I bought these the last time around. They broke. JBL’s customer service did not reply but Meh was kind enough to send me a replacement pair. I’ve had those for 4 weeks and today they went haywire as well. So I’ve got another support request in to Meh, and I know they will take care of me, but I am starting to have concern about the product quality here.

How does it read your heart rate? From your ears? From your neck? I can’t figure it out.
@curtise looks like your neck.
@curtise looks like the sensor touches the neck area.
@curtise the sensor is in the right earbud.
@curtise Surgically implanted in your thoracic cavity?
Are there as many of these as there were JBL speaker docks?
JBL = Just a Boat Load

This Meh offering is slightly less weird and/or hideous than other recent Meh offerings. That is the nicest thing I can think of to say.
OH MY GOD THEY NUKED GLEN’S BODY AND ALL THAT’S LEFT ARE HIS EYEBALLS AND A COUPLE OF NERVES!!!
@shahnm Oh, Glennnnnnn!

@paulmakepeace But, um, is the heartbeat stuff accurate and how does it get the measurement to your phone?
No thanks. My Fitbit is already telling me that I’m dead, and having it peer-reviewed by this thing would just be depressing.
When you can’t do one thing good, do several things mediocre. MEH!
@arrakisforce Neil Diamond on the soundtrack is the only great thing about ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.’
@arrakisforce how did you upload a picture?
@arrakisforce @JnKL
Uploader is fixed.
Uh…this is just interesting, but I’m thinking too meh in the long run. It left me unable to process a coherent thought for a couple minutes.
Weird looking speaker dock.

Why?
Run?
