FAQS
You can use only one but both have to be connected. You can’t put one back in the case because then, both will disconnect. I usually place the other one in my pocket when I want to use only one. This works out pretty well.
Yes. The right side is the main, with the mic for calls. The left is the slave unit. The left only works when the right is in use. If you only use one ear bud, it has to be the right.
These headphones aren’t skull candies. So they’re not made to blow your ear off. They’re made with quality of sound in mind. When you have them fitted properly, you won’t hear anything from the outside so the volume doesn’t need to be high. As far as controls, if you have it fitted properly, it’s fine. But if not, clicking that button will shove it into your ear. Not comfy.
Battery life is 4 hours max.
I was able to get these to connect to my MacBookPro after disconnecting my keyboard and mouse and reconnecting after these connected through the bluetooth. It was process to figure out, but it finally worked.
Yes you can… BUT, you need to make sure you have a proper fit with the silicone pieces. Do a head shake test before you go do activities
These buds have a wider frequency response than any of the others I have researched: 10-22,000 hz vs. the usual 20-20000 hz. Below 20 hz is inaudible for most people. But the feels the vibration. You can feel i in the great rumbling excitement of a large pipe organ. I read that that the Blackpool (UK) Tower organ reaches down to 4 hz. I’m very happy with the sound here in all the ranges and I am intrigued with how the extra 10 hz might boost the bass.
the bluetooth has a range at around 8m. The phone must be near of headphone within this range.
Yes its good
This does work for Android as long as Bluetooth 4.2 is supported.
You can always buy it from them and overpay. Or you can just buy a generic brand. They all fit. It’s a universal fit, I’ve been able to use tips from other earpieces on my jbls. I recommend getting foam ones if you’re gonna spend good money. They stay in longer and are more comfortable.
Our JBL Free is rated IPX5 which can stand water splashing at any angle.
The wireless charger will charge about 4 times before it needs to be plugged in and charged. So…yes…wireless charging.

I use these on my mountain bike daily. Only one time has the left headphone popped out. They are very nice!
I am left handed, and also left “eared”. Is there a way to change main earbud to left instead of right, when I’m talking to people on the phone? I use it at work, and can only use one earbud at a time, to be able to stay connected to my surroundings.
Left side does not charge all.the time
Is there a way?

My PC is asking for a PIN to pair. I don’t know what the PIN is, so I can’t use these with my PC. So frustrated!
Please try 0000 or 1234 as these are typically the default PIN numbers.
And what if they do not work? nor 1111 as others have suggested
Og hvad så når de ikke virker? heller ikke 1111 som andre har foreslået

When you log in for the first time to a bluetooth, it asks you to associate the headphones with an email account, right? If this email account is the same as the one you have on your pc, they will connect automatically without problem.
Cuando inicias sesión por primera vez en un bluetooth te pide asociar los auriculares a una cuenta de correo, ¿no? Si esta cuenta de correo es la misma que tienes en tu pc, se conectarán automáticamente sin problema.
