JBL Reflect Aware Review
Despite the fact that we've already seen some headphones that use Apple's Lightning connection for audio, there's more interest now than ever due to the lack of a heaphone jack in the new iPhone 7 ($288.00 at Visible) and iPhone 7 Plus ($769.99 at Verizon) . That makes the $199.95 JBL Reflect Aware an especially well-time pair of exercise-focused earphones, as they use a wired Lightning connection to attach directly to your Apple device. On the audio front, JBL includes active noise cancellation, as well as the ability to mix in outside, ambient noise so you can better hear your surroundings. The noise cancellation and ambient mics are only decent for the price, but the earphones are saved by an excellent EQ function that allows you to get granular with audio settings and dial in your preferred sound signature.
