I bought this as a temporary replacement for my TWS which were sent for repair. These have since become my primary in ear buds since my previous TWS never got repaired (Crossbeats are scammers). Anyway, I owned a pair of these JBL before too but I lost them. Since my experience with it was good so they are back in my collection. The wire isn't plastic which makes it 100x durable and aesthetically on point. The sound is good for the price point and very balanced. I'm just glad I found these on Bajaao.com and would recommend them 110% .
