Touchscreen Case Causes Serious Issues
DO NOT BUY THESE EARBUDS This product poses a risk of hearing damage. The touchscreen case activates itself inside my pocket. While listening to music, it unexpectedly triggered the “Find My Buds” feature, producing a very loud, high-pitched sound directly into my ear. The sound level was sudden and painful, which is concerning from a hearing-safety perspective. There is no option to fully disable the touchscreen, making unintended activation unavoidable. Separately, ambient mode and noise cancelling randomly switch on and off during use, which makes the product unreliable and frustrating in normal conditions. I strongly recommend avoiding earbuds with a touchscreen case and choosing a model without this design.

STOLEN EARBUDS!!
My mom got me these about 4 months ago and I left them by my bag one to play play some ball and someone stole it. For the most part they were very good, a had no problems with them before but I'm very sad that they are gone now. :(

Horrendous Product!!!
I am on my second pair in two years and I can say these are the worst earbuds I’ve ever tried. I cannot get them to pair no matter what I do. JBL already swapped out one pair saying there was an issue with the case but I’m having the same problem with these now that I’ve upgraded phones. The button on the case DOES NOT put these into pairing mode. I am a diehard JBL fan (car stereo fully equipped, two JBL Boomboxes, and four JBL Go speakers) but I will never again own earbuds made by JBL. Absolute nightmare!

Thank you for your feedback. The button on our JBL Live Beam 3 case locks/unlocks the screen. For first-time use, hold the button for 2 seconds or charge the case for 5 seconds. Hold it for 10+ seconds to reset the case. Opening the lid automatically triggers pairing mode. Your device should then detect the earbuds in its Bluetooth list. For further assistance, please contact us. You may learn more here: https://www.jbl.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-masterCatalog_Harman/default/dw5da5e6f3/pdfs/JBL_Live%20Beam%203_QSG.pdf
Good earbuds but
I bought these a few months ago love the sound quality the case is cool getting to put a digital wallpaper on it see your battery percentage was the real reason I chose this because I want to know when to charge , however the case itself for me anyways seems a little flawed sometimes it doesn’t register me putting the earbuds back in so I will answer a call and have no voice because low and behold my earbuds I used last night are still on and connected That unfortunately effects my ability to charge them sometimes too Otherwise a great product I highly recommend the brand great sound quality the noise cancel ruin is top of the line with both buds in you can’t hear anything else

User unfriendly
Absolute crap. If they are not in their case they will connect to phone cutting off calls. No way to stop it. They are going in the bin

Very Mid. Wouldn't buy again
Purchased this and enjoyed it. But it lasted less than 12 months before the left started popping and not fully connecting, cutting in and out with very light movement. Doesn't always go back to noise cancelling from quick taps, had to keep unlocking the case and doing it from that, a nuisance. They are also fairly bulky as buds go.

Small, comfortable, not good for calls
The JBL Live Buds 3 offer good sound quality once equalised, handling a wide range of music well, and their small, lightweight design makes them comfortable without pressing on the lower concha. However, the fit is only moderately secure due to a short nozzle, and noise cancellation is average, with wind and microphone performance not great. Controls are sensitive but lack useful customisation, including a slow mute function that requires a 3 second hold to activate and deactivate. Occasionally my phone switched from other bluetooth headphones I was wearing to these while they were still in their closed case, which was odd and annoying. The large case with a built-in screen feels more like a gimmick than a benefit, adding bulk and causing accidental inputs. Overall, they are enjoyable for casual listening but fall short for call-focused use, and the case is a definite drawback.
