I have to hand it to JBL! The JBL Soundgear fills a niche between earbuds and portable speakers in a way that provides stellar audio but also allows the wearer to still be connected to and hear the world around them.
In my brief time using the JBL Soundgear (until my wife completely took it over), I found the setup and usage to be extremely easy. It’s lightweight so you barely notice that you are wearing it. The sound quality is superb. And the fact that you can still hear and interact well with your surroundings is great. And, my wife completely has taken over the Soundgear and uses it daily (and she’s not a huge fan of tech) so that is a testament to the design and functionality. It’s easy to use and is reasonably priced, especially if you consider the prices of Bluetooth speakers and headsets or headphones. It does everything I expected it to. And with the BTA unit, you can connect the Soundgear to devices that normally don’t connect to Bluetooth. Nice job JBL!
