With superb protection from the elements, great sound and noise-canceling, and excellent battery life, the JBL Reflect Flow Pro are the perfect alternative to the Beats Powerbeats Pro and Fit Pro for folks who want a killer workout companion.

The JBL Reflect Flow Pro offer a notable upgrade from the standard wireless earbuds, with the secure wingtips, IP68 water resistance and great audio performance providing a great experience for runners and other exercise enthusiasts. The ANC and Ambient Aware tech aren’t groundbreaking, but they’ll suffice for most everyday tasks.

The JBL Reflect Flow Pro are a great set of true wireless sports earphones that strike the right balance between fit, sound quality, battery life and offering a design that’s built for tough exercise. Their active noise cancelling skills perform well, too, and while there might be sleeker sporty options in this price range, that doesn’t detract from the fact that the Reflect Flow Pro’s make a great workout companion.

Good fit? Check. Good sound? Check. Impressive array of features? Very much so. The noise cancellation isn’t the strongest, but I don’t think that’s a huge issue here since the noise-isolating characteristics of the design do most of the work. Get the fit and seal right and the ANC attempts to mop up what else is left.

An excellent balance of weatherproofing and sonic performance, perfect for workouts or hi-fi listening, and sensibly priced.

Offering exceptional fit and a polished performance at a fairly affordable price, the JBL Reflect Flow Pros have plenty to offer avid exercisers looking for a robust and reliable pair of headphones. Their IP68 rating will easily survive sweat and general gym grit, while the impeccable fit offered by the silicone ‘powerfins’ meant they stayed in place through squats and sprints alike. The lack of volume settings via the touch controls is a small black mark on an otherwise impressive results card.

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.

Although the JBL Reflect Flow are fairly versatile, they're on the bulky side and may not fit everyone. They're very good for short sessions at the gym, but they may be uncomfortable to wear for an extended period of time. The noise isolation is good for blocking out speech, making them great for office use, but for commuting, they aren't as good at isolating you from the rumbles of bus engines.

Powerful sound and battery life make the JBL Reflect Flow Pro an enticing gym partner, but common JBL issues diminish its value.
