Superb Sound Quality, Plus Noise Cancellation
JBL Tune 230NC Noise-Canceling True Wireless In-Ear Headphones (Blue)
Reviewed by David on B&H Photo Video
If sound quality is your primary concern when shopping for portable audio, then look no further than these JBL Tune 230NC TWS earbuds. As expected with JBL, the sound quality is superb - full, clear and well balanced with crisp highs, natural mids and proportional bass at all volume levels. There's also no artificial "hyper" bass like some brands use to fake a big sound at the expense of true sound quality. Even better, use the companion JBL app to create a custom EQ profile that totally suits your listening preference! Added noise canceling really makes a difference in creating a pristine listening experience. When activated, my surroundings virtually disappear allowing me to more deeply experience my favorite music in minute detail. I find noise canceling is most effective at canceling steady droning sounds, like fans and engine noises. For times when sound isolation is not desired or would compromise safety, I can change modes to Ambient Aware and the earbuds will actively blend the environmental sound with my audio allowing me to stay connected with my surroundings. I find this useful for outdoor exercise or public shopping where ambient awareness is necessary for safety and courtesy. I found the pre-installed medium sized tips to be just right for my comfort and I have worn them for many hours at a time with no fatigue. They are surprisingly comfortable and stay in my ears better than other stem-type earbuds I have tried. Additional tip sizes are included for adaptation to different ear anatomy. Incoming phone call audio quality is excellent, but as with many similar type earbuds, the experience for the caller is somewhat compromised by the marginal quality of the microphone technology. People I call tell me that the outgoing audio is clear, but they can also tell I am calling through earbuds and the sound is a bit off. One minor downside I have found is the controls are a bit difficult to navigate (-1 star) as there is a single active tap point on each bud that accepts single-tap, double-tap, triple-tap and long-tap gestures, each invoking a different command, and the other bud accepting the same gestures invoking yet another set of commands. I find I am very often missing the right number of taps or getting confused and tapping the wrong bud. This can be alleviated to some degree by the companion app which allows some customization of the gestures to suit your preferences. The printed Getting Started guide that documents the tap gestures is painfully small and difficult to decipher. I would rather see the command interface simplified with additional tap or squeeze points, such as on the stems, to not overload so many commands onto a single tap spot per bud. As stated, sound quality is where these earbuds shine, and overall, I'm thrilled with my new JBL Tune 230NC noise cancelling earbuds and find my music enjoyment has been taken to a new level. Highly recommended! ... More
Decent price & quality for an AirPod alternative

At first I was underwhelmed with the dynamic range, but turned out to be an improper fitting earpiece which did not seal my ears properly. When I went up on the sizing to the large earpiece, the bass really popped and the higher frequencies were much more distinct and not harsh. The Android app worked reasonably well. The default setting was for the Assistant to work on the L earbud tap and playback control on the right earbud. There was no separate buttons for the volume. Fortunately,, you can assign that to be on the left earbud instead of the Assistant, and you can still access voice assistant using tap-and-hold on the left earbud. Overall, happy with the purchase. I used it on my usual walk which is a little over 2 hours and the app still shows 80% full on the battery charge. My old no-name earbuds would run out of juice by around 1.5 hrs. ... More
Good if priced accordingly

Solid earbuds (not excellent). Good sound. Comfortable. Fig snugly in ear using multiple bud sizes; good for exercise. Controls work well -- once you discover them elsewhere. Terrible manual. One has to search elsewhere to understand controls and discover others. Annoyance: Using with multiple devices (e.g., laptop, tablet, and phone). Buds autoconnect to last device, even *after* using a manual disconnect (which I discovered by doing online searches) and *independent* of distance (e.g., inches vs. 30 feet). I can understand the former; but to autoconnect to the last device when it is 30 feet away vs. one iches away... is braindead. ... More
The right wont work well after a few months

Reviewed by Didier on B&H Photo Video
The earbuds sound pretty well, the anc is decent but after a few months of use the right one stop working well. When you fully charge them both will be at 100% but after almost 10 minutes as i said, the right's battery will die so you just keep listening from the left one. For me is a bad experience because they're no cheap and JBL is known for making good products but this wasnt the case.
