Finding the correct headphones may be difficult, and with true wireless earbuds becoming all the rage, the market is flooded with options.
But don’t worry: JBL’s new Tune earbuds include everything you need at a fair price.
It’s reasonable if a set of wireless earphones costing hundreds of pounds is on your wish list, but not everyone can afford them.
Premium features like active noise cancellation and long battery life, which are generally reserved for more expensive flagship models, are included in JBL’s latest Tune TWS models.
Turn it off
The Tune 130NC TWS earphones, for example, are only £79.99, saving you over £100.
Tune 130NC TWS earphones, available in black or white and compatible with iOS and Android, offer far more than you might think for the price.
The main feature here is active noise cancellation, which uses two external microphones to shut out what’s going on around you, whether it’s on a lengthy trip or at an office.
You’ll be in your own bubble no matter where you are thanks to the secure and comfy Dot design.
Tune 130NC TWS also has Ambient Aware modes, which allow you to literally tune into your surroundings when you need to be safe or listen for an announcement, for example.
Another feature seen on much more expensive competitors is TalkThru, which allows you to talk with someone without having to remove the headphones.
There are four microphones in total, assuring clarity during phone calls, and the VoiceAware feature allows you to control how much of your own voice is sent back through the earphones, preventing you from shouting needlessly.
All of this is excellent, but JBL hasn’t stopped there.
Tune 130NC TWS has an IPX4 rating, which means it’ll keep you safe from water and sweat whether you’re running in the rain or working out in the gym.
Even better, the earbuds will last you longer than a marathon, even if it takes you nine hours to complete.
They last an astonishing 10 hours on a single charge, and when you add in the portable charging case, you get a total of 40 hours – a staggering figure that outperforms many earbuds costing four times as much.
Last but not least, there’s the all-important sound quality, which you can count on JBL to deliver.
The Dot is not just stylish, but it’s also built to accommodate huge 10mm drivers for JBL’s renowned Pure Bass Sound.
Tune in
You could like the new Tune 230NC TWS, which is a replacement for the T225 earphones.
These are available for £79.99 and have all of the same features as the Tune 130NC TWS, including active noise cancellation with Ambient Aware and TalkThru, 40-hour total battery life, IPX4 rating, and JBL Pure Bass Sound.
The more classic stem style design, which you may like, is a significant change. Tune 230NC TWS earbuds are slightly lighter, and the stem design may be easier to use in everyday situations.
You may use JBL Headphones app to optimize your audio experience regardless of whether you choose the Tune 130NC TWS or Tune 230NC TWS.
The free app offers product advice and support, but that’s just the beginning.
You can also modify the EQ settings to a chosen profile or even customize the sound to your liking, as well as locate misplaced earphones and set up voice assistants with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
