JBL Tune Buds - True wireless Noise Cancelling earbuds, JBL Pure Bass Sound, Bluetooth 5.3, 4-Mic technology for Crisp, Clear Calls, Up to 48 hours of battery life, Water and dust resistant (Blue)

I bought these to replace my AirPods, and I honestly like these better. They connect very quickly, the battery life is great, and the overall functionality is excellent. They’re comfortable, sound great, and are priced well for what you get. Just a solid set of earbuds all around. I would definitely buy them again if needed.

A lot of pros with one con. I didn’t think I had a lot of time for earbuds during the day, so I started off trying a cheap pair. They were $20 or something with 4.8 stars and reviews like, “I haven’t used my Airpods since buying these!” so I thought that sounded perfect. They sucked. The sound was harsh, they became painful after extended use, noise cancelling was barely noticeable, etc. I can’t actually remember all of the problems at this point. BUT they sold me on the functionality of wireless headphones. Fast-forward to a few months later - it’s Black Friday and I bite on these because they’re on sale. I was a little hesitant because they had a lowly 4.2 stars. Turns out average reviews aren’t everything. These are the polar opposite of the highly-reviewed, cheap headphones I tried: they’re comfortable, and the sound is amazing. As the title implies, I master audio so this is not a hollow endorsement. The cheap ones had hyped bass, missing mids, and painful presence/treble. These are very flat and well-performing by comparison, and can be EQ’d. The noise cancelling is also VERY respectable. I frequently work around loud sources and am sensitive to loud noises, and I have accidentally left these in when I intended to swap for earplugs, because the performance is similar. I love the app. Being able to select between audio quality vs. video sync’ing is awesome when I want to watch live musical performances where sync issues play with your mind. Being able to create custom EQ settings is very important to me too. The con is that you have to take them out of the case to power them on. It’s not a huge deal - it’s easy to pop them in for a split second if they’ve timed out or something. But there has been one occasion that I ran somewhere and forgot the case. I intend to live my life without dependence on crap like headphones, so no big deal - take a break. I would normally give something like this 4 stars because that power-on function is a notable miscalculation on JBL’s part, but it deserves a much better average review than it has so I’m doing my part to raise it. In everyday life it’s not that big of a deal unless you’re the kind of person who loves to find things to complain about.

These headphones have good sound quality, but this particular design falls out easily. I tried every tip size and none of them work well. I do have small ears, so that may be part of the problem. As it is, I have had better results with other JBL designs.

I bought these on the Black Friday sale and man, I'm so glad I did. I have several pairs of the lesser Vibes, which sound good, but these blow them out of the water. First, let's address the fitment. I see many say they don't fit, they fall out, or feel like they're going to fall out. Don't put the large ear pads on if you don't have large ear canal openings! This will cause the earbuds to push themselves out. Too large will push them out, while too small will obviously not have enough to grip your ear. Test them all to find the right fit, if not, reach out to JBL, I'm sure they have replacement pads of other sizes. You can also buy them here on Amazon as they're pretty universal. I find pushing them in, and turning them into place, with the proper pads, netted a great seal and no falling out. You HAVE to install the app on your phone; otherwise, you're getting the flat sound your phone manufacturer decided sounded good. The JBL app is available for Apple and Android - and it makes a massive difference, especially with the noise cancellation and frequency response. With these, I'm hearing songs I've listened to for decades for the first time. I'm hearing effects and instruments I never heard in the music. These are that clear. They also don't kill my ears! I've tried earbuds from $5 to $300, and while the more expensive ones sounded terrific, they hurt my ears physically. With these, I get great sound and a great fit with a tremendous battery life. I'm reading a lot of negative reviews where either the fit or the sound is the problem. Most of these would be positive if people were provided with either longer pads so they go a bit further into the ear and more sizes and those with sound complaints would actually install the app. Mine sounded horrible with the Dolby equalizer baked into Android 13. Installing the app AND turning off any phone equalizer or sound enhancer was the solution. I'd definitely buy these again!

My son tends to lose earbuds, so I like to buy inexpensive options—and these are perfect. They work really well, connect easily, and the sound quality is better than I expected for the price. The best part is the reasonable cost. If they get lost, I don’t get upset, and if they don’t, it’s a win-win. Comfortable to wear and great for everyday use. I’ll definitely keep buying these.

Good quality, but overpriced for what it is I just received this case for my JBL Tune earbuds. The quality is good — it seems well made, fits properly, and does what it’s supposed to do. I have no complaints about the construction or materials. My issue is the price. For what this is, it feels like a $1.50–$2.50 item being sold for over $8. Similar cases are available from Tume for much less money, often with more color options. So, if you don’t mind paying a premium for convenience, you’ll probably be satisfied. Just be aware that you’re paying more for the availability than for added value. ⸻

EDIT JANUARY 14, 2025: While these ear buds were the bees knees (and actually preferred over my more expensive Google Pixel Bud Pros), recently the right bud stopped working. I have cleaned them thoroughly, checked the charge, and deleted/repaired them to my phone. When taking the right one out of the case, the audible "connected" is so faint you can barely hear it. full volume does nothing to remedy. Not sure what's up, but these have been rendered pretty useless. Loved them while they lasted. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My main pair of buds is my Google Pixel Bud Pros, but I recently left them at the office. Not knowing when i would be back, i decided to look for a reasonably priced back up pair. These JBL Tune Buds were on a 50% off sale and had plenty of positive reviews. Opted for the blue and am glad i did....the color is nice! One negative that came up in reviews is the fit, which made me a little nervous, as sometimes i have a hard time keeping buds in. I rolled the dice and am glad i did! These arrived on time, and well packaged. They did not include a USB-C cable (unless i missed it), but thats fine because we have a ton of those kicking around. They came shipped with a 60% charge on the case, and 100% charge on the buds, so I was able to test right away. Downloading the app was simple and it installed quickly. The interface is nicely laid out, and is reminiscent of other audio apps for buds with controls for noise cancelation, equalizer, and touch features. Simple to navigate and customize. The buds connected right away, and are quick to connect every time i remove them from the case. The sound is quite good, and I have yet to experiment with the EQ. I do wish they would go a little louder, but i think thats more a phone thing than the buds (my pixel 7 pro could use more volume). Touch controls work well, but the one omission i notice is the slide to change volume. I have this feature on my pixel buds, and really like being able to adjust the volume without needing to handle my phone. For the price, this is not a deal breaker. Some comments say the noise cancelation isnt the best. While that may be the case, it's still effective and i find it sufficient for my needs. Calls are clear for both myself and the other party. Voice come through clearly and is a nice call experience. Voice to text dictation works flawlessly. The buds charge quickly, as does the case, and I seem to get multiple charges to the buds (more than i get with my pixel buds) with one case charge. Overall, these were a great purchase and can easily see myself using these as my main buds if my pixel buds are ever lost or stop functioning.

Water resistance: If you have concerns of "Goodness, I put my last buds through the wash and they didn't work anymore! I wish they were water resistant!" ... that's what I did with these! They did not work afterward. :-( I mention this because some buds out there CAN handle going through a wash and still working! These do not. Besides that, the mic quality was just fine. I asked people how clear and well they heard me when conversating and they indicated NO problem. Sound quality: I thought the sound quality was great. Good, deep bass possible! Everything was clear! *However* it is dependent on being in your ear WELL and everything sealed up properly. This leads to my next point ... Ear seal: This was one of the worst parts for me. The initial seal was fine, but these did not hold for me during workouts or where there's lots of movement. I had to keep pushing them in over and over and over to seal back up again (and not feel like the are about to fall out). Battery life was just fine and as expected. Overall value was ... OK. I would not pay $80 for them, however. Get them cheaper or promo'ed.
