This actually drove me a little mad. Instead of showing the discrepancy between the two earbuds, you just tried slamming the lid shut a dozen times.

Yeah, welcome to my world. No idea why it happened, insanely grateful it didn't get worse

I’m glad nothing set alight, glad you’re safe.

yeah I'm still having the problem. I just make sure to plug them into power every time I'm done with them to ensure they work

✅ What Works
- One owner, despite an ongoing charging-case problem, said the earbuds themselves are "good."
⚠️ Worth Knowing
- Charging case problems are the most common complaint in the sample (4 of 7 mentions) — one owner described having to slam the case lid shut repeatedly rather than getting a clean seal, and said the issue went unresolved.
- Connectivity dropouts are also reported: one owner said the earbuds disconnect every five minutes and have to be reset by re-plugging them into the case each time.
- A separate owner flagged an unresolved durability issue with the case, noting JBL "still haven't fixed it."
- Across the 7 mentions ClearPick tracked, 6 were negative and 1 mixed — no report in the sample was purely positive.
ClearPick Verdict
**Owners report persistent charging-case problems as the most frequent complaint**, showing up in 4 of the 7 Reddit mentions ClearPick tracked, including a case that reportedly needed to be slammed shut repeatedly instead of giving a clear seal or charge signal. A separate cluster of owners describes connectivity dropouts, with one saying the earbuds disconnect every five minutes and have to be reset by re-plugging them into the case. One owner called their case defect ongoing and unresolved by JBL while still saying the earbuds themselves were "good" — but no purely positive reports appear anywhere else in the sample ClearPick reviewed. Given how concentrated the charging-case and connectivity complaints are relative to the small number of owner reports available, **buyers who need dependable daily charging and pairing should be cautious, and this pair is best reserved for casual, low-stakes use rather than anyone relying on them for consistent workouts or calls.**
