I never considered buying ear-tip free AirPods-esuqe earbuds, but the spacious sound and solid ANC on JBL's new smartcase-toting buds made me reconsider — although their open style won't suit everyone
I tested the JBL Live Flex 4 and found them to be an excellent pair of open-fit buds, with impressive sound quality, genuinely decent ANC, and even a smart charging case.

Open-fit earbuds may have their limitations as far as sound quality and ANC go generally, but the JBL Live Flex 4 still perform admirably, with spacious and balanced sound, solid noise-crushing capabilities, and a comfortable fit to boot.
Pros
+Smart charging case is feature-rich and fun
+ANC surprisingly effective for open-fit earbuds
+Relaxed, comfortable fit
+Strong overall sound quality...
Cons
-Open-fit designs have drawbacks, sonically speaking
-Spatial audio could be better
-Not the most premium-looking buds
