Best praise vs top criticism for JBL Tune Flex
Best Praise
+133 pts“tune flex are the best earbuds hands-down! I wanted to try a different brand without spending $200-$400, so these fit the bill perfectly. The design is very good and they stay in place for the most even during heavy physical activity, better than the Soundcores. Sound is great, bass can be enhanced in the JBL app and it is very good, better than the Soundcores. Mids and highs are clear and crisp as well, so I'm very satisfied. ANC, this is where they really gap Sony and Soundcore, they do have some okay ANC effect but it isn't impressive, the app also lacks different types of ambience (indoor, outdoor, transport, etc)...it is on, off, talk-through, that's it. Overall for just shy of $100 these earbuds are a great choice for active people that want BASS.”
