Know before you buy
Yes, these headphones support mono mode, allowing you to use either the left or right earbud independently for calls or listening.
They are designed for active use with a secure, ergonomic fit and an IPX5 splashproof rating, meaning they can handle sweat and light rain without issue.
The earbuds provide up to 4 hours of continuous playback. The included smart charging case holds an additional 20 hours of battery life, giving you a total of 24 hours of use.
No, the JBL Free X does not include active noise cancellation. They rely on the physical seal of the ear tips to provide passive noise isolation.
The package includes three different sizes of ear tips and two sizes of gel sleeves. We recommend testing the various combinations to find the best seal and stability for your specific ear shape.
