hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room I'm looking for some cheap sport earbuds and seeing if there's any alternative to some of the more expensive brands out there I just reviewed several from Jabra and they did very well for my test but today we're looking at one from JBL it's the reflect mini bt it's priced at $99 retail as of this video and as always you can click on my link in the video description below for the most up-to-date prices so without further adieu my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision welcome everyone to another review going over the physical features first these are a very simple design the air tips provided has two sets that are a one-piece design that sits in the ear with the attached ear wing up top the other two sets are just the ear tips themselves and note your wing of course provided either case the material used is very soft very comfortable in the ear and more importantly this stayed in my ear very well during workouts and during my runs now the only issue though they do attract a good bit of dust moving to the design and durability these are all plastic construction with rubber ends here that's very grippy for texture and the wire guards below are protected with the same material and I know some will have the same concern about how thin the wire is and indeed they do feel thin yet from my time wearing these and throwing them into my bag like any other pair of earphones I've tested they haven't shown any signs of issues or disconnection moving down to the inline volume controller I do admit these do feel a bit cheap though they don't give as much feedback as you would like to affirm an action nonetheless they do work and the back side of controller there's a microUSB port for charging the reflect mini from my test here from a dead battery to full had taken an hour and 34 minutes to do and regarding battery life JBO claims up to eight hours of use and from my test and leaving these on and about sixty percent volume they died at nine hours and 17 minutes not bad in that aspect now I would have her throw some caution to the wind here as reading up on other customer reviews on both JBL's websites and Amazon there's a good handful people mentioning their having battery issues after several months of use the battery then doesn't hold a charge I haven't only for several months yet so I personally haven't experienced this but again just so you guys are aware just be cautious about that and the very last issues these are water and sweat resistance as they should be for being sport earphones and for my test dripping and spraying water on these the reflect mini still works perfectly fine regarding wireless range I have this pair to my Nexus 6p smartphone and walked from one side of the house to the other and there's no issues whatsoever and that's me going through several walls and down to the first floor so overall how is the sound quality for a $99 pair of sport earphones from my experience these do well bass may be lacking for some as it doesn't offer that deep sub bass levels that some may desire however bass is still evident and it's very tight and very controlled I will consider these in years to have a neutral bass signature and still acceptable for non-base heads the mid-range is clear with voices standing out and the high notes in high pitches of music isn't droning or causing any kind of listening fatigue you can listen to these for several hours and just be perfectly relaxed and fine audio separation is there for left and right audio separation however the sound stage isn't as open as much as I would have light but for a $99 pair of support earphones they do just fine now I would say if you're on a budget and looking for very good all-around pair of support earphones from pop rock classical folk maybe some EDM in modern day country these are for you if you're into basic core genres of hip hop rap or in general just these are a bit more bass I would say look elsewhere now it's so caution about the battery life but other than that these are indeed super lightweight they are very easy to wear and it does stay in the ear very well so that's it for the review be sure to help support what I do by liking and subscribing if you haven't already done so and add me on to Facebook Twitter and or Instagram to follow what I do behind the scenes remember I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room and my channel is here to help you make a purchase decision you guys take care I'll see in the next one bye
