"2021 may be the year of audio"
A Gizmodo editorial staff member said this when chatting, but these days, each company is showing a move that is too new. New headphones and earphones are released one after another, and it is hard to keep up with the information.
Under such circumstances, JBL's latest noise-can complete wireless earphone "LIVE PRO + TWS" was borrowed when the editorial department asked "Why don't you try it?" Thankfully, after using it for about a month, it became an indispensable gadget for my life.
This for me! There are several reasons why I thought, but the sound quality is dramatic anyway. Furthermore, the noise canceling function was excellent, and it was also practical that the noise level could be adjusted step by step according to the TPO. The ultimate fit is a stress-free fit.
While working, traveling by train, running, vacuuming. For me, who wants to keep listening to music in every scene, LIVE PRO + TWS, which gives me a compact yet punchy sound, was the perfect match.

Vivid sound to wake up
A morning and a lazy afternoon when you can't get rid of your tiredness. At any time, just by wearing JBL LIVE PRO + TWS and playing your favorite song, the haze in your head will clear up and your thoughts will be in focus.
Anyway, I fell in love with the sound.
When you listen to it with JBL LIVE PRO + TWS, the outline of the sound is sharp enough to sound fresh even if you are familiar with the song. The sound of the singer breathing in is clearly heard, giving a sense of presence. Especially the bass punch is effective, and for me, who enjoys listening by tracing the bass line, the bass equalizer setting, which is only a treat, was also the best. It's clear, powerful, and the boost feeling that comes close to your brain is really comfortable!
I'm a music lover, so I think I have a lot of acoustic gadgets, but even when I listened to each of them and compared them, I had the overwhelming advantage of choosing the JBL LIVE PRO + TWS sound in the end.
JBL LIVE PRO + LIVE has a prominent driver size instead of high resolution or stereophonic sound. This little skeleton is packed with an 11mm dynamic screwdriver! It is a manufacturing that impresses me.
The sound is moisturized, isn't it? There is no dry feeling of electronic sound. When you turn up the volume, a club-type sound with a dawning bass sound is played in your brain, so you can forget about yourself and immerse yourself in the music.
Powerful ANC drowns out the hassle of the outside world
The high immersive feeling was due to the high sound insulation.
You can adjust the noise canceling level to 3 levels according to the TPO, but as soon as you switch to the most powerful active noise canceling (ANC) mode, all background noise disappears instantly. Even if you are on the train, you will always be wrapped in a veil of tranquility, and you can barely hear the announcement of the conductor.
ANC mode is too powerful to hear the sounds of surrounding cars and bicycles, so we recommend the safer "Ambient Aware" mode while running. In addition, in "Talk Through" mode, you can talk normally with the people around you while wearing it.
Personally, it was almost 100% ANC mode to improve my concentration. None of the acoustic gadgets I've used so far (eg SHURE's wireless earphones, Sennheiser's wireless headphones, the original AirPods) have ANC, so the loneliness of JBL LIVE PRO + TWS's ANC is spiritual. I even remembered a sense of stability.
Supreme fit
I think the biggest commitment of JBL LIVE PRO + TWS is the fit, but this is not disappointing.
Five types of earpieces are compatriots, and it is a mechanism that you can pursue the best fit thoroughly using the dedicated application "JBL My Headphones". There are two types of the same M and L size, shallow type and deep type, and you can change the size between the right ear and the left ear.
It is designed to fit people with small ears, especially those with shallow ears called "concha". Once it settled in my ears, I could run, but no matter what I did, it didn't fall.
For comparison, for example, it didn't seem to be compatible with the original AirPods, and I had a lot of drops from my ears, but I didn't feel like I was disappointed with the JBL LIVE PRO + TWS.
"Anytime, anywhere together" is possible
I wrote, "I can take it anywhere," but in fact I almost certainly carried the JBL LIVE PRO + TWS with me everywhere I went for the past month. During that time, the battery never ran out, and even when the battery was low, I was able to avoid the problem with Quick Charge.
Anyway, it lasts a long time, so you can keep using it for a long time. You can also check the battery level from the dedicated app.
Also, JBL LIVE PRO + TWS is extremely light. The body weighs 5g and the case weighs 49.5g. Even if it is said by numbers, it does not come out well, but when I actually used it, it was almost zero wearing feeling. It's so light that I even forgot to wear it and searched around for one ear.
The case is compact enough to fit in your clothes pocket. If I carried it with me wherever I went, I could enjoy music and videos wherever I went and make the most of my smartphone.
Conclusion: I changed from the headphone group to the earphone group.
The writer was supposed to be a gorigori headphone sect.
I especially liked the stability of the over-ear headphones. I like the feeling that the whole ear is physically wrapped, and I really like being able to appeal to the people around me when I'm listening to music. Even if you don't hear me when you talk to me, I hope you can understand that I'm not ignoring it.
However, after spending a month with JBL LIVE PRO + TWS, I rediscovered the appeal of wireless earphones. I didn't stab AirPods personally, but the latest wireless earphones are so amazing! I was purely excited.
why. That's because once I got used to the crisp sound of JBL LIVE PRO + TWS, even the sound of more expensive wireless headphones became far and blurry. If the sound is so good with the same wireless as headphones, earphones are definitely easier to use, aren't they?
JBL LIVE PRO + TWS is detailed and vivid when evaluating the performance of earphones from the viewpoint of "how much resolution can express the world of sound". I want to spend time with this sound. So, personally, JBL LIVE PRO + TWS was the best solution.
I want to recommend it to such people
Each person has his or her own taste for music and how to hear sounds. Therefore, if there are 100 earphones, I think there is an optimal solution of 100, but I would like to recommend JBL LIVE PRO + TWS to those who fall under any of the following.
・ I like clear sound ・ Deep bass fetish ・ I want a sound environment that is completely separated from the surroundings to concentrate ・ I can't meet earphones that fit easily because my ears are small ・ Long travel time or regularly Are exercising
