High degree of freedom of customization!JBL's wireless earphone "LIVE PRO+ TWS" Review | Getnavi Web Get Navi

After half of 2021, the announcement and release of a new product of the left and right independent wireless earphones by audio brand companies is now in good term.This time, we will report the new product "Live Pro+ TWS" equipped with JBL's active noise canceling and external sound import function.

Live Pro+ TWS (hereinafter referred to as Live Pro+) is a wireless earphone with a stick -type design that claims "the best fit in JBL history".Notable points include a comfortable feeling of wearing, a powerful sound with a large -diameter driver of 11 mm, and the effect of the noise canceling function.You can not miss the various functions realized in cooperation with the mobile app "JBL My Headphones".

It was released on June 25 as a JBL online shop and JBL BY HARMAN's official Rakuten Ichiba store limited model, and the actual selling price is 17,800 yen (tax included).The color variations are white/beige/black.

Outstanding stability that makes use of the stick -type design

Live Pro+is a completely wireless earphone with a stick -type design represented by the Apple AirPods series.The tip of the left and right sticks is built in a call -only beam forming microphone.The thickness of the housing is about 14 mm and slim, so the light dressing style that does not look like the earphone pops out from the ears is attractive.

I use stick -type earphones very stable under the ears, so I like this especially in sports scenes that move my body.Live Pro+is a drip -proof specification equivalent to IPX4, so it is resistant to sweating and is a wireless earphone for sports.

The package comes with five types of silicon earpieces with different sizes and shapes.Adjusting the fit will change the balance of the sound of the sound, so you want to choose the best earpiece carefully.With the function of "checking the optimal fit" installed in the dedicated application, you can measure whether the selected earpiece is properly fit with your ears.

It is convenient to adjust the balance between ANC and outer sound import

Live Pro+is equipped with active noise canceling (ANC) and ambient function.Install the dedicated application "JBL My Headphones" on your smartphone to make full use of each function.The app is compatible with iOS/Android.This time, I have installed it on Google Pixel 5.

On the home screen of the app, you can check the left and right earphones and the battery level of the charging case.Regarding the stamina performance of Live Pro+, you can enjoy about 6 hours of continuous music listening for about 6 hours with the earphone alone by turning on the ANC function.Repeated charging in the case corresponds to a total of about 24 hours listening.

Switch between ANC and ambient functions from the home screen of the app or on the left and right earphones touch sensor remote control.The operation method of the remote control can be freely assigned from the app.I often use the switch between ANC and ambient, so I set it as a single tap on the left earphone.

When I checked the effects of ANC and ambient functions without playing music, I felt that the effect was quite powerful.In a lively cafe, the voice of a person disappears, and the noise of the beans and the air conditioner of the air conditioner are damaged in a well -balanced manner.

The strength of noise canceling can be switched from the application to select three stages: "daily", "travel" and "active".Switching to travel will increase the silence effect.I think travel mode is the best when riding a subway or plane.I felt that the strength of active and everyday mode was not much different.Rather, you should use ambient functions when listening to music while walking outdoors.

The ambient sound presets two types: "ambient away", which captures the surrounding environmental sounds, and "talk -through" suitable for capturing conversation audio.Both modes seem to emphasize the balance of natural external sound capture, and there are few noise derived from the microphone, and when I started music playback, it mixed music and environmental sounds to a balance without discomfort.。

Active sound that can be heard happily like JBL

The Bluetooth audio codecs corresponding to Live Pro+have the most common AAC configuration in SBC these days.I listened to some songs from Amazon Music HD.ANC selects everyday mode on it.

The Official beard man DISM's "Pretender" was attractive for the warm vocal stability.The base line is thick and thick, and the outline of the voice and the sound of the instrument is drawn powerfully.An elastic rhythm stimulates the core of the body comfortably.There are earphones where the high tone of the vocalist is more clear, but in the case of this unit, the middle and high range is softly organized to make the music more entertained.I think it's a JBL -like sound.

Next, I listened to the title song "Waltz for Debby/Take1" from the Bill Evans Trio album "Waltz for Debby".The beautifully flowing piano melody gradually becomes hot and melts comfortably with the tight rhythm of the wood -based rhythm."JBL CLUB PRO+ TWS", the same JBL brother machine, is a type that enhances the delicate expression in the middle and high range, such as drums brushing, but the middle and high frequencies of this LIVE PRO+ are punchy and can be enjoyed happily.There is a feature where you can enjoy the active sound.

The sound of Live Pro+is the best condition of the ANC or ambient sound feature.Both ANC and Ambient sound can be turned off, but I felt that the middle and high ranges were slightly rust.

The dedicated application also has an equalizer that can divide the balance of sound into 10 bands and adjust finely.It is a convenient feature that can be used repeatedly, leaving it as a preset, named the user adjusted to the balance of the user, so there is no way to use it again.

You can enjoy thorough customization

LIVE PRO+has many advanced features that seem to be JBL that have released many complete wireless earphones so far.For example, after completing the initial pairing settings, the pairing will be completed as soon as the earphone is removed from the case with the original technology "Sync", so you can start music playback immediately when you attach it to your ears.As far as I tried, communication was not unstable between the left and right earphones between the smartphone and the earphones.

The sensitivity of the touch sensor remote control is not too sharp and I think it is just a good balance.Sensitivity balance is an important point that directly leads to incorrect operation.Regarding the remote control, I thought it would be more convenient if there was a guide that let me know which was the current state when switching between the mode of ANC and ambient sound.

In the "Smart Audio & Video" on the home screen of the dedicated application, it is equipped with a "video mode" that eliminates the displacement from the audio during the video playback.When enjoying YouTube or other video services, selecting a video mode will make the sound perfect for the movement with the mouth.

Live Pro+is a "bargain" wireless earphone that can enjoy high -quality portable music playback beyond rival earphones, such as AirPods, if you use it well.
