The JBL Club Pro+ aren't the most expensive earbuds I have but after using it for two weeks it has become one of my favorites. They fit my ears very comfortably and the sound is very good after applying equalizer adjustments. The charging case is similar in size to the Galaxy Buds Pro case and is very pocket-able. The case is a little slippery so I plan to get a protective cover for it. Battery life is as advertised with the buds lasting about 6 hours on a single charge (ANC on). You should be able to get about 24 hours of play time using the case to recharge the buds. The Club Pro+ fits my ears very comfortably. It's the most comfortable of all the TWS earbuds I have. The fit is snug and I don't feel like they're going to pop out of my ears during periods of activity. The sound isolation and ANC are very good for this price range. The Sony XM3/4 and Bose 700 take ANC to another level but there isn't a substantial difference between JBL and Sony or Bose. The touch controls are not the best but they are serviceable, albeit frustrating at times. Touch control functions are somewhat limited. By that I mean if I assign volume controls to the left earbud and ANC + Talk-through to the right earbud, I can only control playback functions on the player or cellphone. If I assign playback functions to the left earbud the volume can only be controlled on the player or cellphone. Bluetooth connections are not usually a problem but it's not obvious when you make a connection because there is no audible signal to indicate such. Neither is there an audible signal indicating that a connection has been broken. This isn't critical; just something I prefer. There is no multi-point connection capability so if you want to use the Club Pro+ with a second BT device, you must either turn the BT on the first device off or unpair it before attempting to pair to the 2nd device. The Club Pro+ supports SBC and AAC codecs. High resolution codecs like aptX-HD and LDAC are not available. Generally speaking, the sound is good using the SBC codec but noticeably better using the AAC codec. For best audio quality, use AAC when available. The sound is dynamic with strong lower mids and bass. The highs are bright but not shrill. It's not neutral as JBL adds quite a bit of their own color to the sound. The mids are recessed creating a V-shaped audio quality. I prefer a more neutral and balanced sound that's truer to life. However, the sound is pleasant and engaging and with a some EQ'ing using the JBL app, I was able to get a sound I could appreciate. I did this by lowering the level of the low-mids and upper-bass while elevating the sub-bass. I also lowered the level of the highs to produce a sound that I can enjoy during long listening sessions. You can save multiple EQ settings and may require different settings for different genres. The JBL Club Pro+ doesn't sound as good as the Sennheiser MTW2 but it's a good alternative at a much lower price. The fit is also better than the MTW2 which feel like they may fall out of my ears during periods of activity. My under $200 earbuds include the Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus, Live and Pro. In my opinion, the Club Pro+ using AAC is about equal to the Galaxy Buds Pro using the Samsung scalable codec. When I'm not using my Sennheiser MTW2 I'm usually using the Club Pro+ or Galaxy Buds Pro. For better noise cancellation I use the Sony WF-1000XM3 or XM4. If I had to choose just one, I'm leaning toward the JBL Club Pro+. That's only because I was able to EQ the sound to my liking. It also fits best in my ears. I like the Club Pro+ and would recommend it as a good option to anyone looking for a good pair of Bluetooth noise cancelling earbuds under $200. I bought refurbished Club Pro+ earbuds which were about half the suggested retail price. Great savings for earbuds that look new and included all the factory accessories. They also came with a 2-year warranty.Read full review

These are phenomenal. Bass is incredible.. Battery life could be a bit better tho. The case only stays charged for 18 hours. Competitor's cases stay charged for about a week. Also the JBL headphone app needs some work.. Aside from that, A+
