I bought these at full price during a trip when I lost mine. The noise cancelling isn't great on them. I used them on the flight and could very much still hear quite a bit around me. Otherwise the sound is good. I didn't feel they were worth what I paid, but at this price they are very good. Assuming the "refurbished" doesn't just mean broke.

Personally I like my earbuds to be "Noice". I don't like when they cancel out all the "Noice". This deal looks noice though!

You can compare them on RTINGS. They are similar in quality. RTINGS scores the Tune Buds a bit higher. Personally I think the main differentiator is whether you want full ear seal/earplug types (Tune) or open-ear (Flex).

I chose Flex since I want these as around-the house headphones and don't want my ears to be plugged.

I have a mini review later on in this thread. In short, I think this is a good deal for what you get.

Did you reach out to JBL for a warranty exchange?

JBL buds have a reputation for high failure rate within 6 months, even when bought new, so I'm hesitant to buy refurbished JBLs. You might get lucky and have them last a year or more, but it's a gamble. Only a $20 gamble, at least.

Do these die just sitting in the case? I have an older set of JBLs, that while they sound good, if you leave them for a few weeks, they are dead when you go to use them.
Just tested mine after around 10 days of no use. Buds are 100% and case is too. I don't think any draining is happening.

Received these today. Really fast shipping, very impressive.

Mini review:

- control scheme is bad. Often recognizes double taps as single taps, raising volume when you want to lower it. Customization of the control scheme is poorly thought out. Can't select what each tap or double tap does. You just select "volume" and it tells you what you can do.
- I used the second level eartips out of 4 provided. At this level, the tips sit out of my ear, but are snug enough to not fall during normal activity. Won't hold up during exercise, though.
- sound quality is good. Better than the Anker Life Note 3 XR it replaces.
- mic quality is "good enough" but not stellar. Better than the Anker it replaces.
- tether range is not great. Worse than the Anker it replaces. 1 room away is okay most of the time. 2 away will cut out. 2nd worst pair I've owned in terms of range (worst being Samsung Galaxy Buds Live - but otherwise I love those!)
- build quality is decent, not great. About what I'd expect for $50 buds.
- am using these as open-ear buds and haven't tested the ANC, but expect it to be bad.
- everything was extremely clean and like new. Eartips were new.
- very good deal. You're getting mid tier buds at a budget price. Nothing great about them, but a solid pair.

How is the battery life?
