The JBL Reflect Aero Earbuds Made Their Debut at CES 2022

— January 7, 2022 — Tech
The JBL Reflect Aero earbuds were shown off by the brand at CES 2022 as one of its latest mobile audio solutions that promises to deliver impressive performance throughout the day. The headphones will offer up to eight-hours of playback with an additional 16-hours with the charging case, while the 6.8mm dynamic drivers are capable of pumping out impressive feedback the whole time. The earbuds are also paired with a total of six microphones that are capable of providing wind isolation and noise isolation technology to support the True Adaptive Noise Canceling with Smart Ambient functionality.

The JBL Reflect Aero earbuds were described further by the brand in a statement that explained, "The JBL Reflect Aero is the newest addition to the JBL REFLECT Series. With 6.8mm dynamic drivers delivering JBL’s Signature Sound, the JBL Reflect Aero true wireless sport earbuds are engineered to keep listeners motivated at the gym, during yoga, on the trail, or while walking around town. With its POWERFINS design, fitness enthusiasts can depend on its secure fit, while an IP68 dustproof and waterproof rating will keep them protected during the toughest workouts."
