The JBL Reflect Aero are doing something that many other waterproof headphones struggle with, which is to sound great while keeping things tight in the submersion department. The headphones have an IP68 rating, very good sound quality, amazing touch controls, and a fantastic feature set. Oh, and they’re more affordable than you’d think.

The noise-cancelling JBL Reflect Aero earphones offer a bass-forward (but customizable) audio experience and have the highest waterproof rating we’ve seen.

Compared to other headphones, the JBL Reflect Aero have the best value out of the bunch. They’re a great choice for swimmers and active users alike, while also being a great option for budget-conscious consumers who want more premium features.

For workouts, the JBL Reflect Aero true wireless earbuds are a really good choice because they're not too pricey, the sound is full of energy and they'll survive against the elements even if the battery life could be improved.

The JBL Reflect Flow Pro is a good option for people who are on the move and need a pair of earbuds to take them through their workouts, commute, and errands. The water-resistance and secure fit along with good sound quality make this a solid pair of buds for many uses. Listeners can find better noise cancellation at this price, however, which may drive some people to alternative headsets from Samsung or Amazon.
