Justin loves to listen to podcasts. Whether he’s driving for hours at work, mowing the lawn, or working out at the gym, he has a collection of podcasts that he listens to a lot- mostly comedians, with some science and technology ones thrown in. It can get frustrating trying to listen to them when his headphones keep falling out, though- and the speakers in one of the trucks he drives at work haven’t been working right lately. He recently had the chance to review two products from JBL that have solved many of his problems!
To help him keep his earbuds in his actual ears instead of all over the place, he started using the JBL Reflect Sport Headphones. They feature a clip that lets you clip them to your shirt, keeping them out of the way. Since he does a lot of bending down and lifting of heavy boxes at work, he has found that this feature, coupled with the fact that the earbuds stay put, has saved him a lot of frustration. The cord is pretty short and is the perfect length to use with a device in an armband, but if you’re not wearing one then there is an extender that brings the cord to a more typical length, allowing you to place your device in your pocket. Justin doesn’t have an armband, but we agreed that it’s a great feature for the gym!
The second item that Justin tried out was the JBL Clip Portable Bluetooth Speaker. This would be a great speaker for someone who hangs out outside a lot- whether that’s by the pool or on a college campus. It even has a built-in carabiner, so it hooks easily to backpacks, bikes, pants, etc. Justin didn’t think he would have a need for it particularly, but when the speakers on his truck went out he realized it was a great way to listen to his podcasts without having to wear earbuds while driving {since that’s definitely not a safe thing to do}. Shane also really liked it and kept asking us to put music on so that he could carry it through the house- the range was great! The sound itself was great as well- even on the very lowest setting it is easy to hear and it sounds crisp all the way through the highest setting!

What do you like to listen to?
I would like to get these JBL speaker headphones for my nephew. He really likes listening to his music. I listen to Bruce Springsteen, and a lot of oldies from the 70’s and 80’s.
This is something that both of my brothers would love. They could certainly use these driving to work.
These look liked great quality headphones! I bet they fit nice and comfy in the ear, as they appear to. I like that you can clip it out of the way.
I really need to get a new pair of headphones. I will have to check out the sale. I know my son would love the the JBL Clip Portable Bluetooth Speaker.
I would like to try these – it sounds like the perfect choice! I need the mobility to be able to get things done and what could be better?!!
I need to check it out, we have been talking about getting a sound system for quite some time now.
i want a speaker like that
I really appreciate a pair of noise canceling headphones or earbuds. Whether on a flight or at the gym, I love the ability to not have to hear anything but my music.
Have to tell my hubby about these, he has been looking for the perfect pair. Thanks
I could spend the day at Best Buy and could use the headphones too
