JBL Tune Buds - True wireless Noise Cancelling earbuds JBL Pure Bass Sound Bluetooth 5 3 4-Mic technology

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. Read more

The JBL Tune Buds fully met my expectations in every sense of the word. The sound quality is clean, clear, and well-balanced, making them enjoyable for both music and calls. The noise cancellation is better than I expected, effectively blocking out background noise and allowing me to focus on what I’m listening to. They are comfortable to wear and perform consistently well. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend them. Read more

Great product! The quality of the sound Is pristine and clear and has nice bass to it. The problem: it keeps coming off my ear so I find myself usually adjusting it so the won’t fall. It does happens more with the left but both ears do it. Thats the only problem honestly. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and it syncs well. Ear size: I also change a bigger ear tip so they fit more snug but still after a while they start coming off even though when I rotate it so stays put But that’s probably also because I’m working out when that Happens. Battery last a long time! Read more

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! Read more

Good sounding. Noise canceling is great for the price. Talk through/passive is very functional. Case and buds put through washer. Then dried at 120*F for 36 hours. No sign of life at all from anything. Plugged in case to charge and everything woke up and works fine now! My ear canals are very small and had to use aftermarket smaller tips but fit well now. If you have to use the small or extra small tips usually just order black so they match aftermarket color ones if you care. Only issue I have is you cant have all the ambient controls, media controls, and volume control its two of the three. Read more
