It’s August Audio Fest at Best Buy! {JBL Speakers and Headphones Review}

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!
