After the earbuds arrived, I first fully charged the battery before I got started. Charging was very easy via a micro USB cable. After half a day I went to have a look and saw that the battery of the case containing the earbuds was fully charged. I didn't exactly keep an eye on the charging time, because the earbuds were already 80% full. I took the earbuds out of the case and connect directly to my iPhone 8 and that went quite smoothly and easily. So connecting with bluetooth was very easy, later I will explain why it is a minus point of the JBL Tune 120 TWS. I mainly purchased the true wireless earbuds to listen to music and make calls during fitness, running and on the road.
After I had connected the earbuds, I immediately started listening to music. I have set up different styles of music to test the quality. The earbuds perform well with electronic music because of the bass. Once instruments are involved, the JBL performs reasonably well due to the dominant bass at the time.
I then took the earplugs to the gym. The true wireless technology is really great for fitness, no more hassle with the cables. The earplugs stay in place, so they are definitely good for working out! The earplugs are less suitable for running and cycling. While cycling you have a lot of noise (wind), making the music difficult to hear. While running, the earplugs slowly vibrate out of your ear, because of the thumps with the steps you take. When walking/hiking from point A to B, the earplugs are very nice, the music can be heard well and you are pretty well cut off from the outside world.
The battery life of the earbuds is good, mainly due to the case that comes with it. After use, place the earplugs in the case so that we can be charged again. So the battery is definitely a plus!
In addition to listening to music, I also purchased these earphones to make calls. I have a somewhat less pleasant experience with calling. The earplugs can be used in pairs, but the right one can also be used alone, which is nice for calling, for example. A disadvantage is that you cannot use the left earbud alone, especially if you prefer to call on the left. Another minus point of the JBL Tune 120 TWS is the microphone. Calling in a quiet environment is fine. As soon as you call in a busy environment, such as a city, you are very difficult to understand. The person you are having a conversation with hears everything around you very loudly except yourself.
I have had the JBL Tune 120 TWS for several weeks and I am quite satisfied. Since a few days I have some problems connecting via bluetooth. In the beginning, the earbuds connect immediately when you take them out of the case. Now I often have to take them in and out once or even several times to be able to connect the earphones via bluetooth.

The JBL earplugs give off a good sound, although I sometimes have the idea that the left ear plays the music a bit louder than the right ear. In addition, it fits reasonably well in the ears, I often check whether the earpiece is properly inserted and will not fall out. Ambient sounds are not completely muted, which is not very disturbing. To change music tracks or make calls, you can press an earbud. This is disappointing if you want to skip a number of songs, because then you are constantly pressing on the earpiece while it is in your ear. In addition, you can only make calls with the right earpiece, so it can be an issue for left-handers. In terms of design, they are large ears. Personally, I don't like that it sticks out like that. The charging case is sleek and compact, only the USB input is very small and the charging cable is super short. Pairing is very easy, and the battery life of the cap including charging case is also long. I charge the case about every 3 days.
I don't think I would recommend the earbuds because of their size, no sound muting and the push of a button to switch.

Look good and don't stick out ridiculously far from your ears like many sports models. Sound quality is more than decent, but does vary depending on the position in your ear.
