Great but!

The sound quality when they work is fantastic, the but is they all to often go out of sync, fail to charge in the case, randomly disconnect randomly pause and won’t play again until you reset them by putting them back in the case take them back out again! Not sure if the all these issues are firmware based or if there are some physical elements that also need to be addressed.
Until issues are addressed sadly I cannot rate these earphones more than a quite generous two stars.
Best of luck in addressing these problems!

There ok earbuds

I don’t like the fact that the earbud’s don’t switch out from one to the other. Example you could be listening to music with the left one until the battery dies . When you put it on charge and switch to the right earbud you can’t hear nothing. So you have to end up going to settings to reconnect the earbuds again in order to use the right earbud. I’ve only had the earbuds switch automatically once. After that not.

Can’t Pair

I can pair my earbuds to my phone but in the app no matter what one I try it won’t pair with it making the app useless to me. If this issue were to get fixed it wouldn’t surprise me if there were many more waiting for me.

Using JBL LivePro+ TWS

Very nice app, I just wish users have complete control over the gestures. For example, I don’t use noise cancelling at all but use the feature where I allow external sounds to come through.

Instead of getting preset group gesture settings (NC/ambient sound, play/pause etc) I wish the user can combine any combinations of gesture settings.

$50 JBL. Worth the buy if u find them

So i bought the JBL 300 series ear bud from Ross in the Antelope Valley. Those things are awesome. Give u good ear quality long battery charges. Typically state of the art functions. I did not expect to perform so well for me. Long story short. I lost one of the ear buds Righty tighty and not the lefty loose. Now i have skullcandy. I miss my bulk white ear buds

Could be improved

I like my 660NCs but the beep when you take them off is annoying. I use mine reclined or in bed and anytime I turn my head it beeps because they shift ever so slightly. At first it would pause but I downloaded this app and was able to disable that. But they still beep. It’s annoying. I hope it will eventually allow me to disable the beep and hope it’s not a hardware issue. That’s probably the only thing keep me from giving it 5 stars.

Constantly Losing Connectivity

I really like when these work , but too frequently I lose connectivity to either one or both headphone pieces and have to find the battery charge pack to put them in and take them back out to reset them. It stinks when you’re out running or at the gym and can’t get to your battery charge pack immediately.

Also, when crossing any street with signal lights it cuts the connectivity every time as well.

Have to place headphones in just right into battery charger pack or they won’t charge.

Have to disconnect 9/10 times the Bluetooth when you’re done or it won’t disconnect on its own when you put the headphone back into the case.

Ridiculous

Why do I need to use phone space to download another app for these to work, Skull candy didn’t have me do this, my daughters 20 dollar pair didn’t need an app. An app that I will use once then never use again, with this app standing as an eyesore at the most. Come on. I just want to listen to my news through out the day at work. You make it work without an app, I’ll give it 5 stars, but with this ridiculous caveat, one star.

What it has works well, but it could do with more features.

I'm a producer and so have a fair amount of experience in dealing with EQs, and I have to say that the EQ feature in this app, while nice and simple, isn't quite enough. What if you create a complicated EQ with several points of all different values, then discover that the entire result is too quiet? or if every point above 0 is too loud and every point below is too soft? It would be nice to have a couple sliders for volume and offset to fix that problem when it comes up. Much better than being either off or full-strength.

It would also be nice to have a preset to correct for the frequency response curve the headphones already have, sort of like Sonarworks for this specific range of headphones. (sorry for the overly technical review)

Glitchy app

Keep closing/chucking me out when trying to use the app.
