it broken app((( , app crushed when I try to connect to my jbl tune Buds 2
★★★★ Mathieu Fresco 5/7/2026 v5.35.12
I have to cancel the noise cancelation option every time I use a single earpiece. it does remember my preference with two but every time I use one I have to go to the app and turn noise canceling down. it's frustrating.
★★★★ M B 5/7/2026 v5.35.12
absolutely ridiculous privacy agreement
★★★★ Hugo Gayosso 5/7/2026 v5.35.12

★★★★ tiny dinosaur 5/6/2026 v5.35.12
unacceptable that it's not compatible with JBL tune 125 BT.
★★★★ Smriti Bhatta 5/6/2026 v5.35.12
why do these things keep muting or pausing suddenly?
★★★★ Uddhav Andhale (ud) 5/5/2026
just 5 sec connection to any mobile Bluetooth. automatic disconnect and reconnecting a big problem, don't buy jbl product it's fake product not responding for warranty.
★★★★ Beau Gman 5/5/2026 v5.35.12
such a waste of time app, just connect with Bluetooth and save the hassle
★★★★ Darius Rogowski 5/4/2026 v5.35.12
Not working on my JBL Tune 730 BT
★★★★ kane piv 5/4/2026 v5.35.12
Randomly stopped working after some time
★★★★ Juhani 5/3/2026 v5.35.12
Why do I need an app to just simply turn ambient sound control off? An I also don't want to "set up my headphones" every time I need to get into the app.. Absolute inconvenience!
★★★★ Erika Thomas 5/1/2026 v5.35.12
this app slows down the connection
★★★★ Jonah Peterson 4/30/2026 v5.35.12
Probably damaged my left ear. I used the "find my earbud" feature for the left bud and when I found it, I closed the app and the noise stopped so I reasonably thought I could use it again. When I put it in and started a YouTube video later, it immediately resumed the extremely loud tone directly into my ear despite the app being closed. This is an egregious and dangerous software oversight on their part.
★★★★ Michael is Fluffy 4/30/2026 v5.35.12
no longer connects to my earbuds live beam buds
★★★★ lee Lee 4/30/2026 v5.35.12
this is the most USELESS APP I've ever encountered
★★★★ Cxyrus Murth Dela cruz 4/29/2026 v5.35.12
Buggy interface it won't connect to my device when I turn LE audio off ad only does when it's on, plus even if it's on it doesn't actually use Lc3 audio it just keeps using aac for some reason on (JBL tour one m2) on (Jbl tour pro 3) There is a problem where I can't software update the charging case to the newest update because it doesn't detect the case even though it's right next to it
★★★★ Alchemist 4/29/2026 v5.35.12
app has some serious issues for quite a long time. nothing's visible on the home screen after selecting the model. surprisingly the buttons are just not visible touching random places open some options. I was hoping for this with each update from a long time.
★★★★ Abby 4/28/2026 v5.35.12
tune 510 it's not in there.
★★★★ William Cincotti 4/28/2026 v5.35.12
app causes volume to drift to the left channel. setting max right at 16 doesn't play sound primarily on the right channel. app has connection issues and needs frequent reinstall.
★★★★ Gedalyah Reback 4/28/2026
It doesn't cover the model JBL-760NC for some reason, which would be pretty simple.
★★★★ keisha Maynard 4/27/2026 v5.35.12
since updated the quality of my phone calls are very poor.
★★★★ sol Ab 4/25/2026 v5.33.8
I bought JBL TUNE FELIX 2. I bought it because I need a headphone that has mics for phone calls. It works good but sometimes It disconnected the audio while I am talking on phone or watching videos. Bluetooth is connected but the audio disconnected in the middle of talking or watching video
★★★★ Rajesh Markapuram 4/25/2026 v5.35.12
App not working properly
★★★★ legendaryandbest 4/24/2026 v5.35.12
When I connect my headphones it doesn't find them. Doesn't matter what I do I have to reconnect them everytime and it still doesn't work most times. useless.
★★★★ Josh Anderson 4/23/2026
I'm not giving my location to use a Bluetooth headset.
★★★★ Gokul Krishna Sinka 4/23/2026 v5.35.12
Can you please add JBL tune 510 bt
★★★★ maciej konopko 4/22/2026 v5.35.12
My headphones are connected to the app, but zero functions are available, why even have an app?
★★★★ Mahmoud Saber 4/22/2026 v5.35.12
I'm disappointed of this app! It's really laggy, can't find the headphone "even when connected", help and support are too packed with useless data for users! even a cheap local brand won't fail this hard.. VERY disappointung
★★★★ Sujal 4/21/2026 v5.35.12
anc are not working while on phone call
★★★★ Leo Garcia 4/21/2026 v5.35.12
does not remember existing connections. always asks to set-up
★★★★★ Garry Duncan 5/7/2026 v5.35.12
short battery life. right hand ear bud charges in the case but left hand doesnt even when case is fully charged
★★★★★ Mackzimus 5/6/2026 v5.35.12
The app is all right I guess, but I don't like the fact that the earphones have to be connected via Bluetooth whatever in order for you to find or do anything with the earphone case
★★★★★ Don 5/4/2026 v5.35.12
I would prefer if there was a way to turn down the god awful voice prompts/beeping volume. Even turned off, it is very loud. Also, I don't want voice assistant at all, I'd like a setting to turn that off. Update: Bug, one side clicks and then lets out an ear harming whine. Forced to turn off ANC, which automatically turns itself back on.
★★★★★ Keegan Walters 5/1/2026
ok but 2 pricey for the set R2000 were the main reason is not even out of the 3 sizes small,medium and large the earbuds rubber covers for each ear piece or can't put it on with no grip 2 them that it just falls off trying to. And 2 be honest I believe that the 2 different soundcore R.100 and the other 1 is 1 product higher than the R.100 but also soundcore and only R1600 to R1800 4 the 2 different sets. Will probably get the soundcore again. just got given JBL due to lost right buds of soundco
★★★★★ Latoya Taylor 4/27/2026
I love these headphones but they don't work on the government phones
★★★★★ Moses Kaluba 4/23/2026 v5.35.12
Keeps disconnecting my buds
★★★★★ Studio2 4/22/2026 v5.35.12
2 stars that should be 5 stars for overall quality but the 5.5 version is just too shady. Talking to non blue tooth enabled devices initiating updates? Not interested. If I use the buds while on work sites they are suddenly unusable with static even with noise cancellation on. After Dl the app my pixel went into near 24 hour black screen after using lockdown. Too many weird events. Be careful if using around work devices with critical data.
★★★★★ Luukas Jounila 4/22/2026 v5.35.12
stopped working for me
★★★★★ kambhampati pratap 4/21/2026 v5.35.12
