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

The JBL Reflect Aware are in-ear headphones packed with up-to-date tech. They feature active noise cancellation and have an iPhone Lightning connector rather than a normal 3.5mm jack.

Energetic; fun sound; Comfortable

Relatively poor active noise cancellation; Overly bassy with ANC engaged; Some strange noises when using ANC; A little expensive

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

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.

Sounds fantastic; Colors!; Easy to use; No setup required; Reflective; Sweat-resistant; Noise cancellation works really well; Custom EQ is great; They actually stay in-ear; Carrying case included

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.

Apple may include a 3.5mm to Lightning dongle with the newest iPhones, but honestly, that's not the best solution for everyone (neither are the included EarPods!). The dongles are easy to lose, for one, and a great way to get around that is to invest in some headphones with a Lightning connector.
