JBL Live Free NC+: reasonable noise canceling during the gam

  • noise canceling
  • Uplifting sound
  • Easy to clean
  • Noise canceling doesn't dampen everything

The JBL Live Free NC are earplugs that have noise canceling. Together with the waterproof design, this makes the ideal sports earplugs. In the gym I focus on the workout, although the noise canceling doesn't dampen everything.

Reasonable noise canceling
Because the earplugs are waterproof, I take them to the gym and they don't break due to sweat. I turn on the noise canceling and focus on my workout. That way I hear more of the music and less of the athletes around me. Especially the sounds far away are well muffled. When someone puts their weights down a little too hard or talks loudly around me, I can still hear it.

IPX7 waterproof
The earbuds have an IPX7 certification. This means that they are waterproof and can be submerged up to 1 meter in water for 30 minutes. This allows me to clean them under a running tap after an intensive workout. Now I go to the gym every time with clean earplugs.

Uplifting sound
During exercise I want to listen to a powerful sound, for extra motivation. The sound of these earbuds gives me that. The low tones are powerful and have a reasonable punch. If, like me, you listen to a lot of bass-driven music, these earplugs are for you.

Quality and ease of use are fantastic

  • Bluetooth connection with both iPhone and Garmin
  • Sit firmly in your ear
  • Switching between ANC and heartrough
  • They will hurt if I wear them for a long time

You take them out of the case and they are connected to all my devices. Switching between watch and phone is also seamless. The app that comes with it is also really user-friendly, you can adjust them completely to your own wishes. Just think you're going to take them off and your music will go on pause!

  • The sound is good thanks to the app
  • More different earplugs can be added

Outside noise dominates the music. Which means you have to have the volume way too high.
