Edit: I retried the included silicone tips and found ones that give me a secure fit. It’s like having brand new buds! The ANC is the best I’ve had from buds and the sound quality is greatly improved. It’s well worth taking time to get a really good fit, whether that’s with the included tips or aftermarket ones. Also, photo shows the case with an aftermarket silicone cover to protect it. It stops accidental pocket taps. The sound quality is decent. Connectivity is good, with no lag. The case is useful and it supports wireless charging, which was a nice surprise. Battery life is great. The “Find my bud” feature is a godsend. The only con I’ve found is that they don’t fit very securely, even with the tops replaced with memory foam ones. The tip is just a bit too short to provide a secure fit for me. They are usable but I find myself having to fiddle with the fit every few minutes to stop them falling out, which is a pity. With the original tips I couldn’t get them to stay in at all. One person found this helpful

January 2025 Style Name: JBL Live Beam 3 Colour Name: BLACK love these for the portability and control etc, the only thing that bothers me is when on the phone you hear your own voice inside your head, there’s enough voices in mine already
Otherwise a great system.

+ Sounds great + Good value for money + Fit is perfect for my ears even after long usage + Battery life appears good so far + The tech isn’t there yet but improved noise cancellation for buds that don’t go in the ear canal would be amazing. + Tip, turn Spatial Audio off when watching a program as the vocals sound odd which for experienced people will be aware of. + Trend setters and inspirational leaders when you consider their earbuds case. 2 people found this helpful

First two days of having these, will forget to review later Pro- They looks nice and sleek Have many features, customisable gestures, also able to change the settings and how we get the sound Able to control things from the case Cons They don’t sit in the ear and move about, comes loose and therefore pauses the music bcs the earbud thinks you’ve taken it out. This is from doing regular stuff. It’s worse at the gym I got sent the wrong colour – I wanted the blue ones. But I’m too lazy to send these back and my masculinity isn’t so fragile that I don’t want to be seen in purple buds Finally, it was very annoying that I can’t carry the case around in my pocket bcs all, touching the fabric of my clothes is enough for it to be unlocked and change whatever song I’m listening too. I wish there was a mode when you can lock the screen, that didn’t need a pathetic rightward swipe to unlock the case screen. It’s new to me so obviously a lil finnicky compared to the galaxy buds which I’ve had for 3-4 years now. One person found this helpful

PRICE WHEN REVIEWED: £180 (2nd hand from Gadget Tree Warehouse Deals) Comparison setup: Sony NEX-3N Sony Alpha 5100 (sucessor of NEX-5N) Pentax K-S2 + Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 SCM PROs + completely silent AF (not even the built-in microphone of the NEX-3N and Alpha 5100 can record AF changes) The Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 SCM is a bit lighter and only costs £90 but it is as loud as a mini chainsaw. + very high build quality (tightly assembled metal and plastic combination) + tight fit on NEX bodies + absolutely beautiful bokeh + almost no chromatic abberation + well-controlled colour fringing + vignetting is easily corrected in JPEGs by the camera + AF can be micro adjusted by 5100 and higher level bodies (I didn’t need it though because it seems to hit AF spot on, but I will rebtest with AF depth cardboard test) + manual focus ring is very smooth, turns slowly but accurately and does not wobble + the front element does neither extend nor rotate, making polarised UV filters easy and a joy to use + the optical image stabilisation is impressively effective and makes video recording a truly positive experence (I never liked taking videos, but this lens changed my habbits) The Pentax K mount system is very poor for videos as the body’s shake reduction does neither come close to the efficiency of the Sony E mount lenses nor can it compete with the Sony Alpha 7R II’s 5 axis body sensor stabilisation. Canon EOS used ro be the kind back in 2006 but Sony Alpha models are now the new regime in the land of mirrorless interchangeable lens systems. + 49mm filters are cheaper and more portable than 77mm + very sharp at f1.8 (I don’t care about the corner sharpness because I’m a casual hobby shooter and will not sell images nor do I need to pixel peep and debate about pixel sharpness) and is sharp until f11 at which point diffraction (image softening) occurs + relatively light + very attarctive, discreet design with high quality finish (it just feels nice and not like a toy as the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II which is my least favourite lens of all times) + decent weight distribution even on smaller bodies like the Alpha 5100 (the NEX-3N is a tad larger and heavier) + resists flare very well + Sony NEX and Alpha bodies allow you to still zoom in 2x which is very handy because then you can frame better without having to spend time cropping images all day CONs – included lens hood is a bit flimsy/thin and is completely useless for filter users (I use a polarizer, so after I failed to access the filter when.the hood is on I put it back in the box and never touched it again) Pentax is the only camera manufacturer that applies common sense here and adds a little detachable door on each lens hood to allow polarizer users to access and turn their filters. I seriously do not understand why other camera manufacturers do not have this. – AF speed could be higher (but it is fine for normal use unless action photography is a must) It is noticeably slower than other f1.8 lenses for classic DSLRs – not weather sealed (dust will eventually male its way into the lens and settle, so you better not remove the lens from your camera unless you upgrade the body) – the lens is a little bit on the long side (the Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 SCM is much shorter, but this is counttered by the oversized yet fully weather sealed K-S2 body) – closest focal distance is rather far (but about 10cm closer than Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 SCM) – AF speed depends on camera body (the Alpha 5100 was slightly but noticeably faster than the NEX-3N) – black glossy paint scratches a bit too easily (this was not a problem on my Canon EF 17-40mm f4 USM which was made of super high quality rippled plastic, but the Sony’s outer lens body is made out of metal which will scratch instantly) VERDICT After having played withe the Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 SCM and Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II, the Sony E 50mm f1.8 OSS is more than a clear winner. It beats it’s larger and heavier rivals in all aspects except speed, but it is still fast enough for 80% of shots. What really annoyed me was thw lens hood which reminded me of the rubbish hood used with the Canon EF 85mm f1.8 USM – terrible and the plastic is so thin that it would break on medium impact whereas the fmhood for the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 USM still goes strong despite seemingly uncountble scratches :S Alternative: Olympus 45mm f1.8 (Micro Four Thirds) but then you lose a lot of bokeh background and foreground blurring capabilities. If you work around an airport or anywhere where people wear ear protection or are half deaf anyways, go for the Pentax DA 50mm f1.8 SCM but note that the Pentax bodies are much heavier then the Sony NEX and Alpha cameras. 8 people found this helpful
