The JBL Vibe 100TWS True Wireless are affordable inner-ear earphones. They have a very simple design but add just a touch of extra bass to the mix and offer a versatile sound profile. They can also block out a decent amount of ambient noise around you, although they struggle to reduce the low rumble of bus and plane engines. However, they have a short continuous playback time of five hours, and there is no volume control. However, the carrying case can be charged three times.
The JBL Vibe 100TWS are very suitable for sports and fitness. They are small, lightweight and have a breathable fit. They are also decently well built and comfortable. However, they can fall out of your ears in high intensity activities. They also don’t have a water-resistant IP rating.The JBL Vibe 100 TWS are happy for office use. These in-ears have a decent, comfortable, breathable fit. They can also block out ambient chatter around you and do not leak audio at high volumes.

[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]The Vibe 100 does not look stylish, with a very plain outer shell. It is interesting that the charging case does not have a top cover, but otherwise it is no different from a regular wireless. The fit is comfortable and ergonomic and provides good support for long periods of listening.
Inside the Vibe 100 is an 8 mm dynamic driver. This performs niceley and provides lots of loudness for a true wireless earphone. Although it offers the same features as a wireless earphone, the Vibe 100 does away with the touch screen in favour of push buttons. This makes the response to operations instantaneous and with little or no delay. Playback controls and answering incoming calls are quick and easy, but if you want more functionality than that, you may be disappointed.
The JBL Vibe 100’s minimalist design features a logo on the front and a USB Type-C charging port on the back. It is available in black, blue and purple, allowing you to choose the headphones of your choice. With virtually no latency, the JBL Vibe is ideal for streaming games and feature-length films at the touch of a button, and while the Vibe 100 does not have a touchpad, calls and music can be easily managed via the built-in voice control.
The JBL Vibe offers a quality battery life of 4 hours of constant playback and a further 14 hours and 30 minutes on the charge box. This gives you a total of 20 hours of battery life, which you should expect depending on the price. After just 15 minutes of charging, you get up to one hour of playback time, which will keep the music flowing at any time of the day.
