JBL brings the wireless Live Flex earbuds with JBL’s True Adaptive Noise Canceling and JBL Signature Sound and they are designed in an open stick design. Thanks to this design, you don’t have to wear an in-ear design, the Live Flex also has JBL Spatial Sound.
In addition to many speakers such as the environmentally friendly and compact Clip 4 Eco and JBL Go 3 Eco, JBL also offers plenty of headphones, such as the JBL Quantum 910. There are also many JBL earplugs and JBL has done extensive research into the (ultimate) wearing comfort of wireless earbuds. Because of this, they know that an open stick design is one of the most popular designs in the wireless earbud category. Nevertheless, good noise canceling has always been a challenge with this design. JBL Live Flex must offer the special combination of an open stick design and True Adaptive Noise Canceling technology. According to Pascal van Laer, Vice President Headphones & Wearables at Harman, the parent company of JBL, the noise canceling “automatically adapts to your environment and movements, even though the design is not completely in the ear.”
