Vibe Beam - True Wireless JBL Deep Bass Sound Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.2, Water & Dust Resistant, Hands-Free Call with VoiceAware, Up to 32 Hours of Battery Life (Black)

Yes, my subject line sounds like that trash hyperbole you get on annoying pop-up ads on your Smartphone! And ironically, it usually has to do with ear buds. There are tons of them on the market, and everyone claims to be the best. Now, first off, I am just a customer… never got any gifts or money or anything from this company, nor was asked to “click on a review” for a discount or whatever. No… the reason for all this hallelujah chorus, is that I’m really totally both jazzed, and a bit in awe of these earbuds. I think the main mind-blowing thing about them is the price. I mean, I have a bit of experience and knowledge with this kind of technology, and frankly, these days, what “guts” that are needed to be used to create Bluetooth ear buds is not that complex… nor expensive. How company’s like Sony, Apple, Bose, etc. can charge upwards of $300 for these boarders on theft and fraud! I’ve tried those “Rolls Royce” buds, and I urge you to do the same, and then try these Tagry Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds that are literally 90% less expensive. Yes, they retail for about $35! They come in an excellent quality charge base, are extremely easy to put on, (and have three extra size buds to give you a custom fit), and most important, their sound quality, and I mean crisp highs, solid middles, and bone- rumbling base, are outstanding. I cannot understand what more you would want either using them for talk radio, podcasts, YouTube, streaming movies, or TV, or playing your Amazon Music or Spotify or iTunes playlists. And yes, if connected to your iPhone, you can make and receive calls, and the microphone in the buds are top quality. Their Bluetooth software is flawless, connecting to your iPhone, or other Bluetooth devices effortlessly. They come with a pleasant woman’s voice letting you know various messages, like which earbud is in what ear, if they are connected or turned off, your volume control (including excess volume warning), etc. I’ve had these for several months, and have found the charging, which has a bright LED display and shows the individual charging of each bud, along with their percentage easy to read. And a note on their service. I’ve heard horror stories of folks trying to reach the outrageously over-priced other earbud company’s for tech support, or refunds, exchanges, etc. Basically it’s nonexistent, and when you do miraculously find a phone number to call them, and get someone on the line, you have to go to the UN to find an interpreter of rare third-world languages to understand what they are saying, and they seem to be trained, not on anything to do with the product, but to make the call as useless and confusing as possible, so that you will just give up and throw their buds, and your money in the trash. Now, I did have an initial problem, after a few months, in that the base charger seemed to be slowing a bit. Tagry gives you a LIFETIME WARRANTY… yes, an actually lifetime warranty, not one of those sham “lifetime warranties”, that corrupt company’s like Hammacher Schlemmer have. I had enrolled with Tagry, on their website, to activate my warranty as soon as I received the buds. I called Tagry when I was seeing what could be a glitch in their charging base, and yes, unlike most other companies who hide their contact numbers as if they were nuclear codes, Tagry’s support phone number is plainly printed on their manual, and to my astonishment, I immediately was connected to a good ‘ol American customer service person, who actually worked for the company, spoke English, and made me feel as if I was a long-ago trusted friend. They truly cared, and said they were sorry, and that there was no need to troubleshoot the base, or return it, instead, they would process an order to send me a new one. A day later, they actually called me back to let me know that the replacement had been shipped, and that I should have it in a day or so, and if not, to please call them back right away. And yes, to apologize again for any inconvenience. The replacement arrived the very next day. And again, their warranty is indeed for a lifetime, a no questions asked replacement policy. This is how much they believe in their product, and respect their customers. So, yes. It is insane to pay more than $35 for quality Bluetooth earbuds. Last year, I sent about a dozen of these out to friends and employees, to use for personal use, and for all that Zooming going on… and they love them. And none of had any problems. I’m sure you have had a plethora of bad experiences in the past few years, what with isolation, and way too much ordering on-line, finding the products you buy to be substandard, and customer service virtually non-existent. And that is why I’ve spend all this time expounding on the greatest of my earbuds. Yes, I have a life. Really. But what a joy to be able to tell a story like this, rather than the kind of frustration most of us are experiencing every day! Yes, goodness and quality still exist. It’s rare… but it’s out there!

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.

These are great! JBL continues showing us quality doesn't have to break the bank. They are comfy to wear, have really good bass, and the companion app has a ton of features and customization options. I use them every night I am at work and have no complaints, though i would suggest trying the different included earbud sizes for a day or two to find the right fit. Charges fast, and overall a great pick for the price range.

I needed new earbuds for the gym. These are inexpensive and the sound quality is outstanding - good base, midrange and treble, and the subtle little sounds in interesting songs comes through - interesting the sound feels like a vinyl record quality, which is nice, the quirks of live tracks don't get lost. The battery life is good. The only downside is that the earbud tips didn't lock in solidly, no matter which size I used. That is a no-go in the gym, can't be losing these while lifting, it's distracting and there is a good chance of stepping on them or dropping a weight in them. So I replaced the stock silicon tips with some foam tips and that fixed the problem and also improved sound quality a tiny bit. The earbud tips thing may just be me and my ears, so take it with a grain of salt. I would give them five stars if it wasn't for that issue. Good overall performers and a great value.

These earbuds have been a great purchase so far. They fit comfortably in my ears, stay in place well, and provide clear sound whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or taking calls. The charging case feels solid and compact enough to easily carry in a pocket. Battery life has been good, and pairing was quick and straightforward. One thing I especially like is the protective case cover. It adds extra grip, helps protect the charging case from scratches and drops, and makes it easier to find when it’s tossed in a bag or sitting on a desk. For the price, these earbuds offer excellent value. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable wireless earbuds with good sound quality and a comfortable fit.

These are actually real great earbuds. The sound is really fantastic, and usually when I have these in all I can hear is what I’m listening to. They’re not heavy, they don’t fall out of my ears, they come with 3 different ear size pieces so you have options for the best fit. They also last me an 8 hour day at work, and they weren’t that expensive.

I have been very happy with the JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless Earbuds. The sound quality is impressive, with clear highs, solid mids, and surprisingly deep bass for such compact earbuds. They fit comfortably and securely, making them great for workouts, walks, or everyday use. The battery life has been excellent, lasting through long listening sessions without needing to recharge constantly. Pairing with my phone was quick and easy, and the Bluetooth connection has remained stable with no issues. I also appreciate the simple touch controls, which make it easy to manage music and calls. For the price, these earbuds offer outstanding value. They provide the quality and performance I expect from JBL while remaining affordable. I would definitely recommend the JBL Vibe Beam to anyone looking for comfortable, reliable, and great-sounding wireless earbuds.

Honestly, for the most part love em. Had studio beats before but I lost a bud unfortunately. Anyways took some getting used to the difference. Sounds great, and for the most part controls are easy. My issues are with 2 functions. 1) The the double tap to change songs doesnt always work the first time as there's not a button to hit. Its really just hoping you tap the right part twice the first time, which is annoying when youre in the middle of something and you think you changed it but surprise it only picked up one tap so now your music is paused instead. 2) not being able to take mono mode off, literally, this function pisses me off the most. Oh you took an extra moment to take the 2nd ear piece out? Well congrats, now you have to put them BOTH back into the case and take them back out to be able to listen to both at the same time. Try to google a way to fully turn the function off? Hah! Its just JBL and everyone saying you have to do what i mentioned above, so you cant even actually turn the function off. The beats i had would just automatically connect, and if it delayed I could just tap it while in my ear and it would connect. Sound = Great Battery life = Good so far. Comfort = Good, doesnt bother me with long wear so far. Price = Great Functions = Okay

I use this product with an iPhone 15 Pro Max and Apple Music. I am of the opinion Apple is better for sound quality but I will leave it at that. These headphones were purchased to replace my beloved Sony Bluetooth headphones which died after eight years. I couldn’t justify the price of another pair of Sony headphones so I purchased these over Amazon day for $50. To me JBL is a cheaper version of Bose or something higher end. They do have decent sound quality but it depends how they are used. For example they come with three different ear sizes in the rubber fittings they come with. I use the smallest ones. I use these mostly at home. I’ve tried them on a walk and totally prefer my cheap wired Apple headphones so one, I don’t lose them and two the little stems that connect to the power klack against my wooden spacers I wear in my ear. The Apple ones don’t which is funny. And the JBl do not totally block out sound like my Sony ones did. I usually wear one headphone in my right ear so I can hear my kids and pets at home but still listen to my tunes. I have hearing damage from playing in a band in both my ears but my right ear can take the JBl’s comfort wise. The bass response or rich tone is based on how the rubber fitting sits in your ear. So if you move around a lot for exercise or work not good for you. They come with an app you can download for free. You can tweak the sound with an EQ. The ten band is fine if you have an ear for mixing. Pick some good music you like and usually listen to. Then play with the EQ to find a sound you like. The pre-sets are ok but not that good. If the headphone is in mono like I use them they will then cut the EQ in the app that runs on yr phone and go to your Apple settings. I just use “Rock” on my iPhone. And they sound great for what they are. I wouldn’t use these while driving a car. Or use them for talking on the phone jobs. I have seen many ppl complain they are hard to take out of the case. No more then other brands/types like these. Each bud fits either in the left or right side so you know which is which. The L and R indicators on the stems of the buds is very small. Maybe some other brands or types are different. We have Skull Candy and Google Pixel buds in the house and they are similar and different too so shop around before you buy. And the battery in these are decent. I listen to several hours of music a day sometimes. I do recommend taking them out and giving your hearing a break for ear fatigue. Believe me, if I’ve been listening to my headphones for awhile I’ll be able to tell while driving later as the radio will have to be turned down and that’s no fun when a good song comes on the radio is it! Great headphones for $50 and exactly what I wanted to buy.

Good quality and cheap
