Tune 230NC TWS - True Wireless In-Ear Headphones, Active Noise Cancelling with Smart Ambient, JBL Pure Bass Sound, 4 mics for perfect voice calls, IPX4, 40Hrs of battery life (Blue)

i used my last pair for five years, i think it was. the first thing that went was the charging - they didn't charge in the case. so i had to charge the earbuds by charging the case. then the case didn't charge as well anymore. then the battery of the earbuds declined so i only had maybe an hour of noise cancellation, which is my primary reason for using these. then they stopped pairing so well, and then ultimately one earbud stopped working altogether. so i bought another pair! these are worth buying when they're on sale the two times a year they go on sale. camelcamelcamel.com can tell you exactly by copying and pasting their URL. these have the best sound quality ever. the bass is AMAZING and makes all the difference for me. the other aspects of the quality are also incredible and the noise cancellation is the best i've tried so far. would definitely recommend - and have! my dad bought them as well, and he's very very picky about comfort. he always complains about how they fit in his ears. but he likes these and he is willing to work out with them as well.

I have read a number of reviews of these earbuds that complained about tinny and/or hollow sound. That’s too bad because there’s nothing wrong with the earbuds, you just need to fit them properly to your ears and the sound quality will be great. Here’s the deal: the earbuds come with three different size tips. You try each one until you get the most comfortable fit THAT ALSO seals them to your ears so there is no sound “leakage”. If you don’t fit them properly the low bass and midrange can literally leak out and you get that hollow sound. Also, outside noise can get in and compromise the noise cancellation feature. Play your favorite music while you test each tip. When you get a proper seal the music will suddenly sound great and you will realize how good these earbuds are. In addition, be sure to get the app installed to select the equalization profile that best suits your kind of music. And make your own profile if you want to tailor the sound to your exact tastes if you’re a perfectionist. I have included a picture of the equalization profile I created for classical music, since the app doesn’t come with one for classical. You may want to create one like it. If you do all of the above, these earbuds will sound great: a clean, pure and rich sound, equally suited to vocal and instrumental music of any genre.

Updated 1 year later: I'm dropping my 5 stars to 4 stars. I still enjoy these headphones. And the battery is still good. After about an hour or so, my ears will start to get sore, but it's not too bad. They do cut out for about 1 sec maybe every 20 mins or so, but for the price I paid, I'm still pretty happy with them. I had not had a chance to really compare them with others until recently. We bought my dad for his birthday the Sony WF-1000XM5. They are double the price of these JBLs. He was having trouble with them so I took them for a week to find out what he was doing wrong (nothing was wrong - he wasn't wearing them correctly). While I was testing them, didn't cut out, and the sound, comfort, ambient aware and noise cancelling features were incredible. Sony's were 10x better than the JBLs. Bottom line: If you want a decent pair of noise cancelling earbuds without paying a fortune, I do believe, for the price, these JBLs are still a good buy. I liked being able to finally compare them, though, to another brand. Hope this helps. Previous post: I am super impressed with the noise canceling on these earbuds. I was looking for earbuds that had a good balance of comfort and noise cancelling and decent sound. With all the earbuds I have bought in the past I never found ones that were good at canceling the loud noise of plane engines when flying and I was always turning the sound up super loud just to hear the music. These earbuds are comfortable and did a fantastic job of canceling the background noise. I also really like the "ambient aware" function that allows me to turn off the noise canceling when my wife was talking next to me on the plane and I didn't have to take the earbuds out to hear her. I'm not an expert by any means, but I feel these $100 earbuds cancel out noise as well as some of the other more pricey $200-300+ over the ear brands I have played around with in stores that are big and bulky to carry around. The case is small and can fit in my pocket easily, and I can charge them while in my pocket. So when I have a layover flight, by time I got these out at my next flight gate or on the plane, they're ready to go. And I found them on sale on here for $50, which made it even better! I haven't tried these for working out or running yet so I can't say how they are with sweating and such. But for the casual wearer who would use them for something like traveling, these are DEFINITELY worth it! I highly recommend them.

I have one pair for work and one for home/going out. I wouldn’t have spent $100 on each pair but at $50 per pair they’re a good deal. The ANC is pretty impressive for little earbuds. Makes the background sounds in an IHOP at 9:30 on a Sunday nearly disappear. They also eliminate the sound of snoring dogs and humans. Took a recent trip on an airplane and opted to bring these instead of my Sennheiser Momentum 3’s. I’m an audiophile on a budget. They can’t compete with the over-ear Momentum for sound reproduction. But for earbuds they’re a great product at the sale price. There is a JBL app you can download to your smartphone but the controls are reasonably intuitive. I have big fingers so I probably miss the sweet-spot for function control more than the average person. I’ve found the bass to be a little lacking but I think that’s due to the EQ setting I’ve selected. You do have some EQ presets to choose between in the app. They come with three sets of the rubber earplugs for various sizes of ear-canals. Medium worked for me. I can use them to sleep, travel, shut out the loud noises in restaurants, and for Zoom calls. Consider the color you want to stand out against your bedding when they fall out if falling asleep with them in. I like them enough that I bought a second, dedicated pair for work. The ANC has three settings but so far I haven’t found one that totally mutes audio output from your device in the “ambient-aware” or “talk through” modes. That’s a feature I like on my Momentum. It can be accomplished by the extra step of just pausing playback with a tap on the right, then tap the left to toggle through the three ANC modes. They work great with an iPhone as well as Windows 10/11 computers. Much greater clarity the the JLAB go, which don’t seem to have any functional ANC. I should have spent the extra money at the get-go. Buy them when on sale. They’ll probably be fine for you. If ANC and a variety of EQ options are the most important features for you, spring for the current $300 - $400 Sony over-ears. I have a pair of those in the house-too. Their ANC is better but for the music I listen to the Sennheisers are #1. However I would recommend the Sonys for over-ear for the average listener and these for travel, etc. it’s a lot harder to lose a big set of cans than earbuds so I don’t want to invest too much in these little guys. JBL has always served me pretty well for the price in the pro-audio and live sound amplification area so I had some confidence in the name when I bought these.

These are the worst earbuds I have ever owned. - They routinely fail to charge when placed in the case. When I go to use them, quite often one (or both) are completely dead. It seems if the pogo pins in the charging case don't make perfect contact with the pads on the earbud tips then they don't charge. In this case, earbuds remain on thus draining the earbud's battery. The non-charging earbud(s) in the case remain on and connected to your phone even with the charging case closed. That means you often miss audio notifications since audio is routed to the earbuds rather than your phone's speakers (at least until the earbud batteries die). - There is no information on what the LED indicators on each earbud indicate. The only documentation available is a Quick Start Guide that has illustrations of the earbud LED indications but only for the blue color indicating Bluetooth connection status. These earbuds also blink/illuminate in a white color but there is no information on what that means. When you put the earbuds back in the case to charge, you have no idea if the earbuds are charging or not - it's a total crap shoot. - These earbuds don't have any spoken audio prompts. They only make obscure sounds. To make matter worse, there is no info available on what the various sounds mean. - It is very difficult to extract the earbuds from the charging case when you want to use them. I have used Jabra earbuds for years and they worked flawlessly. I bought these JBL 230NC earbuds because of the price but they are useless. Stay away from these earbuds. There are plenty of posts on various forums of other users having this same problem with charging and lack of basic operating information. JBL's website has info indicating that you need to regularly clean the case pogo pins and corresponding pads on the earbuds. I have never had to do anything of the sort for any other earbud I own. No more JBL products for me.

This review is representative of my first impressions after receiving the item. Fit - 4/5: While I've had better fitting earbuds in the past, I would say that these aren't problematic at all, but not perfect either. The buds fit fairly snugly in my ears, and its quite nice that they've included a few tips. They don't seem to move around if I shake my head, so I have decent confidence that if I take them to the gym or on a run, I wouldn't have problems. That said, they don't quite fit perfectly, but everyones ear is a bit different so others might find it better or worse. Sound - 5/5: All I can say is wow do I love the sound that these produce. The level of bass is far beyond anything that I've had from my other earbuds (Jabra Elite 65t and Jlabs JBuds Air). The app includes equalizer settings that actually make quite a lot of difference (unlike other headphone apps I have used) and I am blown away by how much bass can come from these headphones. I have also noticed with other wireless buds that they tend to be on the quiet side, not reaching the same volume that my larger Sony headphones can, but that is not at all the case here. These get LOUD. As someone who plans to mainly use these for workouts, this is exactly what I hoped for. Battery - 5/5: So far I have not had a chance to use these until they die, so I have to disclaim that. However, if the battery matches up or comes close to their claims, which I expect they will given it is a reputable brand, then I will be impressed. My other buds max out at around 8 hours, so getting almost 4x the total battery life is excellent. 8 hours without recharging is very impressive. Look and feel - 3/5: The case looks nice and I think the aesthetics are fine. But the buds themselves are polished smooth, which makes them a bit tricky to handle with your fingertips. Once they're in, its no problem. But a matte finish or some texture would have been better for usability. I'll update this review if I find any reason to, but I am extremely impressed by the headphones, especially for the price point. Highly recommend!

Honestly, I’ve been really impressed with these JBL headphones — especially long term. I’ve had them for about a year now, and this video was taken one year after purchase. Despite constant use, they still look and sound almost like new. The charging case has held up great. It’s compact, lightweight, and the matte finish hasn’t gotten slick, cracked, or beat up. The lid still snaps shut firmly and nothing rattles around inside. The earbuds themselves have stayed solid too — no loose parts, no fading, and the silicone tips still fit comfortably and stay in place. I also appreciate the app, which works seamlessly and allows you to customize controls as well as EQ, etc. Connection is still fast and stable, volume gets plenty loud, and the sound hasn’t degraded over time. Bass is punchy without being muddy and vocals stay clear. For something that’s been used this heavily, the durability honestly surprised me. Overall, these have proven to be a great value and way more durable than I expected at this price point. If you’re looking for affordable true wireless earbuds that actually last, I’d absolutely recommend them. (I'm a photographer, the first photo is just a personal take I took using the headphones a few weeks back. This isn't some fancy ad, that's the same set showing up at your door.)

There are several things I like about the JBL 230. The sound quality is pretty good and the noise cancelling is excellent for this price range. So, if you're in a noisy office or work environment, these may work for you. The battery life is great, and the JBL app provides a good equalizer for customizing your sound. I love the blue color, and the touch controls work, even if finding that "sweet" spot takes a bit of practice. What I don't like is that every time you put the earbuds in, they start in the "Ambient Aware" mode (sounds around you are amplified). It's great, if you want to hear what Margret down in accounting thinks about Bob's new haircut from across the room, but I hate it. I'm typically putting in earbuds to block out the sound around me, not to make it louder. Plus, the Ambient Aware function uses battery life. I'd much rather have the ability to start in a "normal" (non-amplified) setting, but that's not available. You have to start with them active and either open up the app to turn it off or set the buds to use a touch feature to turn it off (meaning you can't use the touch feature to control your music, change volume or anything else). My second gripe is around the microphones and wind. Any slight breeze makes it impossible for you to be heard at the other end of a phone call. I'm often outside and I simply can't make phone calls if there's a breeze. Likewise, driving with the windows down while on the phone is a no-go. The wind drowns out everything else. If you happen to have Ambient Aware turned on (remember, it's the default?), it amplifies that wind noise in your ears, as well, even if you're not on the phone. This is a real deal breaker, and everyone from Apple to Samsung and Sony do a much better job of limiting wind noise on phone calls with their buds. There are other minor things. The buds are very lightweight, which is good, but they stick a little too far out of my ear, so they're always getting knocked loose. They sit in the case with the speakers facing outward, so you always have to turn them around when taking them out or putting them away, since most people are designed with their ear canals going *in* to their heads (this design makes zero sense). The app is slow to load. You can't do anything in the app until it finds and connects to your buds, so you have to have at least one bud in to use the app for anything, which is weird (I can't even view the app right now to tell you about it because my buds are at home, so the app won't open), and many app features aren't accessible unless you have both buds in. I really wanted to like these, but the inability to use them in 90% of the cases I want them just makes them worthless to me.

This is good for video calls

I use the product on a day to day basis for listening to music and my experience with it has been very positive. I can adjust the sound and feel of it accordingly to my surroundings and the way I wanna listen to it.

Excelente produto e ótimo prazo de entrega! Comprei no dia 6 e estava previsto para dia 30, chegou na manhã do dia 17!! (Saiu de SC para o RN) O som não era exatamente oq eu estava esperando (não que seja ruim, exatamente o contrário), achei os médios um pouco estridentes, algo que acaba me incomodando muito, mas foi rapidamente corrigido quando mudei o foco do equalizador para Bass ( o equalizador do app é muito eficiente) e o volume para alguns talvez não seja tão alto, pra mim ficou perfeito. O cancelamento de ruído é o mínimo aceitável, presente, porém não faz milagres, de fato é um produto de entrada pra essa tecnologia. A construção do fone em sí é muito confortável, parece um pouco pesado na mão, mas no uso normal, parece literalmente que você não está de fone; já o case é relativamente grande e provavelmente vá ficar todo riscado com o tempo, então é bom comprar uma proteção pra previnir. Com relação a conectividade, eu testei em alguns celulares assim que chegou. No meu Xiaomi ele conectou tranquilamente, mas o LG um pouco mais velho que tenho aqui não chegou nem a reconhecer o fone, em iPhones eu conheço alguns casos de problemas em outros modelos de fones, não sei se abrange esse também. No mais, super recomendo o produto, está um pouco acima do preço, mas não deixa de ser uma excelente opção pra usuários comuns que querem um pouco mais de luxo.

I have been looking for some wireless headphones for a while now. Tried a few options under $100 but all of them were bad. Low audio quality, low voice quality or couldn't be heard in anything other than a quiet room, poor battery, poor connectivity, you name it. I was already set on increasing my budget to $150-$200 until I saw these JBL on sale for $70 (I think the original price was around $150) and knowing that JBL produce great sounding speakers figured I had nothing to lose by ordering them. They really hit the mark! for the money I paid I get very nice actual noise cancellation (I commute on subway to work and listen to podcasts) and great audio for music, podcasts, and conversations. Who ever I asked about the sound quality of my speech always replied I was crystal clear, no matter the surroundings (I'll admit that when standing next to a loud bus the quality diminishes, but that's just an outlier and no one, not even the $300 set, will be able to tune out that noise). They fit very snuggly in my ear and don't fall out even as I am pushed out the subway or working out. Pros: + great value for money + awesome audio + very good noise cancellation for the price cons: - haven't had any for now Overall, I highly recommend getting these if they're on sale! I don't know if I'd pay full price for them as they have competition once you go to the $150-$200 price range. Will come back in a few months and update if something's not right.

Easy to use and connect . Excellent sound reception
