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)

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.

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.

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!

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!

Very good value for the cost. Sound is crisp and clear with very little distortion. With other earbuds I get listening fatigue pretty quickly. I've had these for over 9 months and have not hit that threshold yet and I use them every single day. They rarely slip out of my ear as so many others have done and when I find them falling out it's usually because I did not get all my hair out of the way. The charging system works great. I can't say how long a charge lasts because I've never come close to running out of power. And that's after hours and hours of listening during the course of several days. I installed the JBL app on my phone for quick and easy adjustments. These don't have the big sound that some of the very expensive wireless headphones have but they work and sound well, better than the price would indicate.

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.

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.

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.
