#SoITriedIt: A 2-Year Experience with the JBL Wave Buds

November 14, 2024 / by Marhiel Garrote / 3 mins read

Music is something that I cannot live without. That’s why it's essential for me that I have the best gear to have the best experience listening to my favorite songs. Whether I’m commuting to work or just relaxing at home, having a high-quality pair of earbuds is important. I’ve tried many earbuds, but the JBL Wave Buds stood out because of their exceptional sound quality, comfort, and convenience. Here are the things you should know more about the JBL Wave Buds

 

Design and comfort

 

 

Its ergonomic design fits snugly into your ears, providing comfort while listening to your favorite songs. It comes with ear tip sizes to ensure a perfect fit. Furthermore, it is lightweight and weighs just a few grams, so it's easy to carry around and will not take up much space. Lastly, it comes in different colors; you can pick the color that suits your style and personality.

 

Sound quality 

As we all know, JBL is known for its high sound quality, delivering deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. This makes listening to folk, pop, and rock genres great. As I experienced, you will just feel the song fully that you listen to. 

 

Connectivity 

It has Bluetooth 5.2, which makes it a stable and efficient wireless connection. You can also easily connect with the device. You can also use the JBL app for an easier connection, which I did. 

 

Battery life

It has a long-lasting battery life. Once I've used it, it will take me three days before I charge it again because I’m not listening 24 hours a day. It has 8 hours of playback on a single charge, with an additional 24 hours provided by the charging case, totaling up to 32 hours of use. This is one of the reasons why the JBL Wave Earbuds are worth my money. 

 

Water and sweat resistance 

Yes, you read it right. It is water—and sweat-resistant, resistant to sweat and light splashes, and suitable for working out and outdoor activities. I usually use it while on my morning run or walking my dogs in the afternoon. 

 

Controls

It has built-in touch controls on the earbuds themselves, allowing you to manage music playback, pauses, and calls easily. It also has a built-in microphone, so you can make hands-free calls with VoiceAware. 

 

Final thoughts

Since I’ve used this for two years, I can attest to its quality and durability. It's rare for me to find earbuds that will last for two years. The JBL Wave Buds offer an amazing mix of sound quality and comfort, making it “sulit,” as we say it in Flipino. This is a good buy because of its long battery life, plus the JBL signature sound and useful benefits. Lucky for you because the JBL Wave Buds are available at our Next Upgrade Shop, making it easy for you to check it out and enjoy listening to your favorite songs with exceptional listening experience.
