For $200, the JBL Reflect Aware gets the sweatproof, exercise-friendly part right, and nails the audio thanks to a customizable EQ. We'll consider the so-so noise cancellation and ambient mics a harmless additional feature.

Lightning connector for Apple devices; Customizable EQ; Strong bass and crisp highs; Built-in noise cancellation and ambient mics; Sweatproof; Reflective design ideal for outdoor exercise

Average noise cancellation and ambient mics; Slightly expensive for what you get; No 3.5mm connection for non-Apple devices

If you're an Apple iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus user then you might be looking for a new pair of wired headphones. The JBL Reflect Aware are one of the first pair of headphones that comes with a Lightning Connector allowing you to use the Lightning port for sound.

Great sound; noise cancelling works great; adjustable noise cancelling in app; reflective cable for runners; sweat proof

The JBL Reflect Aware style is pretty simple; they honestly don't have much flash to them, but that is actually a good thing. The gray and black colorway is pretty pleasing aesthetically, and it blends in well with my Matte Black iPhone 7.

Durable; sweatproof; and appropriately lengthy cable

Nothing

Is it time to start buying lightning headphones? If you have an iPhone 7 or will, then maybe! JBL just released their Reflect Aware in-ear headphones with built-in lightning connector. There's no regular headphone plug, but the lightning plug allows these headphones to do some incredible things.

Could get louder; Could use an extra-small ear tip option; Lightning plug only

Apple has officially kissed the headphone jack goodbye and put it to rest in favor of the all-mighty Lightning connector. But you shouldn't worry too much now that every audio brand is starting to release Lightning connected headphones.

The JBL Reflect Aware does Lightning-Port earphones well and gives it a good name, pushing the limits and audio boundaries that some equally premium 3.5mm earphones can't seem to reproduce.

I had been struggling the last few years at work to concentrate on my job but my coworkers like talk and one of them is extremely loud. I was skeptical that these would cut out the ear-piercing coworker, but as soon as I put these in my ears I heard angels singing! .

It beats BOSE by a mile It's a great headphone to use at the gym.

Easy to install

I wish they had a longer cable

Great noise isolation and no-worry battery-free power from the phone makes these my go-to work headphones.

Unless you've been living under a rock you'll have heard that Apple has dropped the standard headphone jack on its new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus handsets, instead pressing the Lightning port into service for audio output in addition to its existing charging and data transfer duties.

Battery-free noise cancelling; Good-fitting earbuds; Strong; powerful bass
