I've owned 3 different pairs of ear buds from JBL. Each pair within 3 months developed a documented issue were the left set would basically mute and only the right side would play. I thought I lost my hearing the first time it happened. Personally, I would pass on this one.

I owned two different pairs of earbuds from JBL and they workedd flawlessly. I keep on in my gym bag and one in my day bag. Never failed. Very great at noise cancellation and imo, its way better than Samsung, which previously owned for several years. The battery so also very good. I usually charge every 2 weeks. Additionally, I got their wireless portable speakers and they hit hard with bass. If e anything JBL is known for are their bass. It hits hard for hip hop, r n b, edc, edm music.

Does anyone know if a firmware update has solved the software vulnerability found in these? Here's a video starting on the part that shows this model is listed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H...yV0&t=504s


I cheated and used AI to summarize the video so you don't have to watch all of it to know what's going on.

Based on the video from Low Level, the attack exploits a vulnerability in a widespread Bluetooth chipset SDK (specifically from a company called Airoha) used by major headphone manufacturers like Apple (Beats), Bose, Sony, JBL, and Jabra.
Here is how the attack works and how it spreads from device to device:
How the Attack Happens
  1. Unauthenticated Protocol Access: The root cause is a custom configuration protocol called the RACE protocol [06:22]. This protocol was originally intended to configure the chipset via USB (using a PC tool), but researchers found that it is also fully accessible over Bluetooth (via GATT or RFCOMM transport) without requiring any authentication [03:43, 04:02].
  2. Memory Exploitation: Because an attacker within Bluetooth range can access this protocol without authenticating, they can send commands to directly read and write to the headphone's RAM and flash memory [06:27].
  3. Remote Code Execution (RCE): By dumping the RAM, an attacker can map out how the memory is structured [06:31]. They can then write their own custom shellcode directly into the RAM and overwrite specific memory locations (like link registers) to hijack execution flow and run unauthorized code on the headphones [06:39].
  4. Phone Impersonation: Once code execution is achieved, the attacker can pull the cryptographic Bluetooth link keys stored in the headphone's memory [09:15]. These keys are what the headphone uses to authenticate with the user's smartphone. With these keys, the attacker can impersonate the headphones to spy on calls, listen via the microphone, or issue hands-free commands to the connected phone [01:13, 09:22].
How the Attack Spreads (Wormable Mechanics)

The video notes that this attack is wormable, meaning it can propagate autonomously from one device to another over the air without requiring any user interaction [07:53].
  • Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) Exploitation: The researchers discovered that the unauthenticated configuration protocol includes a feature allowing full Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) updates [07:25].
  • The Spreading Chain: 1. Once a single pair of headphones is compromised with malicious shellcode, that malware can be programmed to actively scan for other vulnerable Bluetooth chipsets nearby [07:59]. 2. When the compromised user walks through a crowded area (like an airport, subway, or tech conference), their infected headphones detect another vulnerable pair within Bluetooth range [08:05]. 3. The infected headphones automatically leverage the FOTA process to force-upload the malicious firmware payload to the target headphones over the air [08:05]. 4. The newly infected headphones then repeat the cycle, creating a self-propagating mesh network of compromised audio devices [08:50].

I had something similar happen to a different model. It turns out that the pin sized hole(microphone?) was plugged. Clearing that block solved the issue. Maybe look them over and make sure this isnt the problem? Just a suggestion.

I own this exact model in a different color. It is the best sounding and performing earbuds I have ever owned. I have owned 20+ pair including Apple, Beats, Bose as well cheaper brands like Skullcandy and jlab.

Noise canceling is great, calls are great, you can use your case or the app to find your misplaced bud(s), buds have a real world 8 hours between charges, the case charges them quickly when you do use it. Like air pods this automatic connected to our android phone upon opening the case. We both switched to flagship Android phones so could not say if this is the case for Apple phones.

I have owned it for over 6 months and never had an issue with one or both sides not working outside of it not being charged.
