You can use Ambient Aware during a call if Sidetone is turned off. You are able to do this in both Bluetooth or the 2.4 GHz mode.

To start the current song you are listening to over, press and hold the volume down (-) button for 1-2 seconds. Please note: You can only advance to the next song be skipping forward, you cannot skip tracks backward. You can only restart the current song over by pressing the volume down (-) button.

To connect to a different Bluetooth device, first switch the headphones off. Now press and hold the center button on the headphone remote control for about 3-5 seconds. You should see the light blinking red/blue to indicate pairing mode, and the voice prompt should state “looking for device”. You should see "Reflect Mini 2" appear on the source's BT list. Choose that option, and wait for the voice prompt to state “connected”

The JBL Connect app will be renamed as JBL Portable on the App Store and Google Play store in January 2021, it will still be possible to find the app in each store by searching for either JBL Connect or JBL Portable.

To reset the headphones, power on the headphones and plug in the USB cable into a USB charger or USB port. Paired mobile devices should disconnect and the led should be constant white. When unplugging the USB cable, the headphones will power off. When manually powering on the headphones, and the last connected mobile phone is not in range, the headphones will revert to Bluetooth Pairing mode ( blue led will blink ) after 5 seconds.

If the screen appears dark, try repositioning the Horizon 2 for the light sensor to work to the fullest. In some positions, the Horizon 2 cannot effectively detect the ambient light level in the room. 

1. Connect the first Partyboost speaker with your phone and keep music playing (for best results play music on this speaker for more than 20 seconds before proceeding with the next steps).

2. Press the Partyboost button on the first speaker.
3. Turn on the second speaker that you want to connect in Partyboost mode.
4. Now press the Partyboost button on the second speaker.
5. After a few seconds, both Partyboost speakers should connect and play together.
It can take a few seconds after music is started before sound will be heard from both speakers.
This is also the process for connecting more than two speakers in Party mode, simply turn on the other compatible speakers and press the Partyboost buttons.

1. Turn on both speakers.
2. Connect your device to one of the two speakers via Bluetooth.

3. Start streaming music to that speaker (for best results play music on this speaker for more than 20 seconds before proceeding with the next steps).
4. Open the JBL Portable app.
5. Allow the app to detect the single speaker playing music.
6. Once detected, press the Connect/Partyboost button on both speakers.

7. Allow the app to identify both speakers.
8. Click the Partyboost button, you will see the option for Party or Stereo, select Stereo.

Please note: Stereo Mode can only be enabled when 2 of the same speaker model are used.
For example, you will not be able to achieve Stereo Mode with a Flip 5 and Flip 6, only Party Mode.
Also, it is not possible to pair speaker models with Connect and Connect+ together, or pair to speaker models with Partyboost.

An optical connection will assure better audio performance and will accept Dolby Digital audio from an HDTV. However, there are times when TV apps may not transmit audio through the digital optical output on the TV. In cases such as these, it would be necessary to use the analog AUX connection.

An optical connection will assure better audio performance and will support Dolby Digital audio from an HDTV.

The JBL TOUR range helps you create an ideal world where you can entirely focus on your tasks.
With the JBL Tour One and Tour Pro+ TWS, you can get silent moments with SilentNow. Noise Cancelling is activated without Bluetooth, just by pressing a dedicated button on the headphones (or tapping the earbud) or controlling via the My JBL Headphones app. It also helps you save battery time.
Or get help in waking up with My Alarm, which allows sleep and wake times to be set and is controlled ​via the My JBL Headphones app. You can set a sleep and wake timer to gradually lower the volume of the headphones for sleep, switch into SilentNow mode for a specific amount of time and then wake you up at a specified time.

 

The SilentNow feature allows you to activate Noise Cancelling without using Bluetooth, i.e. simply turning on ANC without playing music. A useful feature if you just want to enjoy a quiet moment or would like to rest on a long-haul flight.
 

You can have your own Karaoke party with your JBL Partybox. Simply connect your Microphone (only included with the Partybox On The Go) and connect your mobile device over Bluetooth, then start playing music and sing along, it is that simple!

The Horizon 2 does not have sleep mode functionality.

By optimizing Bluetooth settings via the app, you can get optimized audio in different scenarios like either listening to music or watching videos.
Select between “Normal” to optimize and stabilize the connection even in the busiest areas, “Music mode” to enjoy the best sound quality for music, and “Video mode” to get the best lip-syncing when watching or gaming.

 

It is always recommended to use our range of Soundbars if you want a speaker for your Television or Smart TV as they are designed specifically for this purpose, whereas our Portable speakers are designed primarily for use with Phones and Tablets.

Support for Bluetooth connectivity between a TV and speaker depends on a number of different factors such as Bluetooth & A2DP versions and Audio Codecs used by each device. This can vary based on the brand, model and age of the devices, however we cannot confirm if any specific combination of TV and speaker will work without issues such as latency or lip sync delay.

Please check that you have connected your android phone with JBL DRG before. Power off your Android phone and press the JBL DRG BT button to connect to another smartphone. If this is the case, please wait 3 minutes for JBL DRG to setup the Bluetooth connection with a new smartphone. This is because some android phones can’t send a “Disconnect” BT command to JBL DRG during power off, so JBL DRG need to wait until the Link is lost.

If you experience any sound distortion after immersing your speaker in water, simply shake the speaker to get rid of any excess moisture and allow the speaker to completely dry. Once dry, the sound quality should return to normal.

Switch the Soundgear ON. (If this is not possible, reset cannot be performed.)
Press and hold Volume + and Volume - simultaneously for longer than five seconds.
Soundgear switches OFF, and is now reset to factory settings.

For the Club 950NC and 700BT, a dedicated button on the right ear-cup (*) for Bass Boost – gives the user the option to give an extra boost to their listening experience. Power surges from equipment (such as a panel/mixer) which would blow out a standard headphone could be experienced while playing at high power. Specially designed driver coil and magnet give a higher resistance to power surges. The maximum input power for CLUB 700BT is 1000 mW, for CLUB 950NC is 2000 mW and CLUB ONE is 3500 mW accordingly.

 

If the earbuds go into standby mode and turn off, you can still use them without putting them back into the charging case. 
You can reactivate the headphones by pressing or touching the outside earbud itself.
Please note: They will be automatically powered off after 30 minutes of being in standby mode if they disconnect from Bluetooth. To reconnect, you will need to put the earbuds back in the charging case and take them off again. 

It is possible to change the standby mode time with your headphones. To do this, go into the My JBL Headphones app and choose the Standby Time via Auto-off function. You can adjust the time to 15min, 1hr, etc., or you can choose “Never” if you want to keep the earbuds turn on at all times. Once you set the Auto-off, the earbuds will work according to the setting whether they connect to Bluetooth or disconnect.
 

Our LINK BAR supports 4K material and contents these different ways.

1. HDMI INPUT Supports 4K
2. Chromecast streaming in 4K.
3. 4K Material through the Android TV System.

You can watch your favorite 4K material in many different ways and enjoy!
