The JBL Vibe 100TWS True Wireless are in-ear headphones that won’t break the bank. They have a pretty simple design, but they have a wide range of sounds and add a little extra bass to mixes. They can also block out a fair amount of background noise, but they can’t do much about the low rumble of bus and plane engines. But they can only play music for five hours straight, which isn’t great, and they don’t have volume controls. On the plus side, if you need it, their case can hold about three charges.
The outside of the Vibe 100 is not stylish at all, as it has a very plain design. It’s interesting that the charging case doesn’t have a top cover, but other than that, this is a typical true wireless device. Luckily, the fit is comfortable and ergonomic, so you can listen for a long time without getting tired.

Where to buy JBL VIBE 100 TWS?
A 8mm dynamic driver is inside the Vibe 100. It works well and is loud enough for an earbud that is truly wireless. The Vibe 100 has a lot of the same features as other true wireless earbuds, but it doesn’t have a touch panel. Instead, it has buttons that you push in. This makes the actions respond right away, with almost no delay. It’s easy and quick to control playback and answer calls, but if you’re looking for more features, you might be disappointed.
Each Vibe 100 earbud can play music for five hours on a single charge. On its own, this is a bit low, but it’s not too far below the norm. But, like most earbud battery ratings, this is based on playback at half volume. At full volume, you might get four hours out of the battery, which is not great. On the plus side, the case gives you three more charges, giving you a total of 20 hours of use at half volume. This would be more useful if the case was made to be easier to carry.
The process of charging is quick and doesn’t hurt. You put the earbuds in the case, and in about 90 minutes, they will be fully charged. In the same way, the case will charge in about 90 minutes when it is plugged in. With Bluetooth 5.0, you can connect these earbuds to your phone or another source of sound. Bluetooth 5.0 is the industry standard right now, and most new devices will work well with it. It has a few extra benefits that the older Bluetooth 4.2 version didn’t have.
