JBL Earbuds
JBL is best known for its inexpensive and cheery Bluetooth speakers, but the US company also produces some excellent headphones and earbuds. They’re distinguished by energetic, exciting tunes with loads of bass and vibrant graphics. We’ve chosen the greatest models for you to see below.
JBL Live Pro+ TWS
The JBL Live Pro+ TWS earbuds include active noise cancellation, 11mm dynamic drivers, and a bass-forward sound. These earbuds feature a good fit, are well-made and have an IPX4 water-resistant rating. You receive a total of 28 hours of listening time, with 7 hours on the earphones and another 21 hours on the charging case. Six microphones are housed in the earbuds and work together for ANC and calls.
JBL Live 300TWS
The JBL Live 300TWS earbuds have Ambient Aware and TalkThru technology and are tiny in size. You may switch from total music immersion to attention to your surroundings with Ambient Aware, and you can talk with your friends without removing your headphones with TalkThru. The JBL LIVE 300TWS earbuds have a battery life of up to 6 hours on a single charge. Insert them into the charging case for an additional 14 hours (maximum) of listening time. You can get a one-hour boost in only 10 minutes.
JBL Tune 225TWS
The JBL Tune 225TWS is a great sports and fitness earbud. They’re lightweight and have a good fit. While they filter very little ambient noise, this might be useful if you’re out and about and want to be aware of your surroundings. Unfortunately, they don’t have built-in volume controls, so you’ll have to use your phone to make this kind of change.
JBL Tune 115TWS
The JBL Tune 115TWS wireless earbuds boast a unique design, a lightweight build, a powerful sound with booming bass, and hands-free access to your favorite virtual assistant. It’s important to note that the Tune 115 TWS wireless earbuds lack a sophisticated microphone setup and aren’t compatible with JBL’s mobile app. The buds’ maximum battery life of 6 hours isn’t amazing, but it’s more than adequate for the price. Their USB-C case can hold more than two full charges.
JBL Tune 230NC and Tune 130NC
JBL claims that these new truly wireless earphones exceed the JBL Tune 125 TWS and JBL Tune 225 TWS. The Tune 230NC retains the appealing form factor with updated silicone tips and boasts better bass performance, but the Tune 130NC adds Active Noise Cancellation to a more traditional earbud design.
Both earbuds include four microphones, Bluetooth 5.2 compatibility, Google Smart Ambient, and Fast Pair, Dual Connect + Sync, Google Assistant, and Alexa access, and are IPX4 water and sweat resistant.
