JBL Tune Buds 2!
on February 10, 2025
Posted by: DonH
from Medford, Oregon
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these earbuds to wear to work and while working out etc. I chose these because of their features and small size. They don’t get in the way of my bike helmet but they’re easy to get to when you need to use the tap control features. The JBL Headphones App allows adjustments and personalization for music playback and making phone calls. After I chose the correct size ear tips I had no problem keeping them comfortably in my ears and naturally block out ambient noise. The active noise cancelling works very well too. It will allow music only, or music and outside sounds like voices, or only outside sounds so you don’t have to take them off when you want to talk to someone. The sound is excellent as you’d expect from JBL. Full deep bass, clear mids, and nice crispy treble. Sending and receiving clear stereo phone calls is simple too. Battery life is great. I can use them all through my shift at work with no problem and after a quick boost from the charging case, I can use them all day. Nice work JBL! I highly recommend these earbuds!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love these Tune Buds 2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the sound of the ear buds. I found them to be a little difficult to be sure they were in the ear correctly but once in were comfortable. Easy tap controls. Great battery life- almost 11 hrs. The app on the phone gives you the ability to personalize the sound settings and more control over the operation of the ear buds. Love the ability to switch from noise canceling to ambient aware with just a tap on the ear bud.

Big Sound, Strong ANC, and Great Value
on February 5, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Tune Buds 2 are standout true wireless earbuds, ideal for anyone who loves deep bass and solid noise cancellation without spending a fortune. They offer impressive sound quality for their price, with powerful lows, balanced mids, and sharp highs, making them great for everything from music to podcasts.
Designed to be lightweight and comfortable, they’re easy to wear for extended periods. However, some users might struggle to get a perfect fit, which can affect the effectiveness of the noise cancellation. While the active noise cancellation (ANC) isn’t quite at the level of premium brands like Sony or Bose, it does a good job of reducing background noise like chatter or light traffic.
Battery life is a major plus, delivering around 11 hours of playtime on a single charge, with extra power from the charging case—perfect for long days on the go. The Bluetooth connection is reliable, and the multipoint feature makes it easy to switch between devices like your phone and laptop.
The JBL Headphones app adds extra value, letting you fine-tune the EQ settings and adjust noise-canceling levels to your preference.
All in all, if you’re looking for earbuds with great sound, dependable battery life, and effective ANC without a hefty price tag, the Tune Buds 2 are a strong choice. Just make sure to find the right fit to get the best performance.

Wow, just…WOW!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never been overly impressed with the sound and fit of earbuds. Typically there was (for me) a lack of real sound quality as well as the issue of a tight, and comfortable, fit.
That has all changed with the advent of my JBL Tune Buds 2 that i received a few days ago.
Impressive and dynamic sound as well as a fit that doesn't seem unnatural or ‘loose’.
Let’s start with the bottom end, and I mean a REAL bottom end! Music bass is tight and natural and when watching some of my favorite sci-fi flicks, the sound effects were nothing short of spectacular!
The synthesized distortion effects in the soundtrack were delightfully detailed and powerful.
The high end was breathtakingly detailed (as I have come to expect from JBL after over forty years of using both their professional, as well as consumer end, products here in the St. Louis Mo metro area) and brilliant.
I was completely caught off-guard by the noise-canceling function…. Very cool! The ability to switch between noise-canceling as well as hearing ambient sound is a nice feature.
As a musician, I really like using these earbuds as opposed to headphones due to the limitations of even wireless headphone units. So much freedom in the studio as well as comfort!
If I could, I would give these earbuds a 6 out of 5!
Once again, JBL proves to me what real sound reproduction is all about!!!
I have already recommended these to some of my friends who are wanting something better than what they currently are using!
I do have one complaint, however. And, it has nothing to do with the product. It is the way that user ‘manuals’ are printed so small and use ‘pictures’ to show how to operate various functions…
Not a fan…🙃

JBL Tune Buds 2 are a solid performer!
on February 6, 2025

from Atlanta, GA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently switched to the JBL Tune Buds 2, and they have transformed my listening experience. Connecting the JBL Tune Buds 2 to my phone was a breeze. They pair quickly and maintain a stable connection without any hassle. They instantly showed up in my JBL app and from there I was able to tweak eq settings which even offered a “Extreme Bass” setting which was definitely extreme. I setup touch/tap controls for both music as well as calls.
Charging & Battery Life: One of the most impressive features is the fast charging and long battery life. With my previous earbuds, I had to charge them every night. Now, I can go days without worrying about battery depletion. The fast-charging capability is a game-changer—around 10-20 minutes of charge, and I'm good to go for hours.
Comfort & Fit: These earbuds are perfect for gym enthusiasts like me. They come with 3 different ear tip sizes for a custom fit. I don't have to constantly adjust them during workouts. They stay put through intense exercises and don't cause any discomfort.
Sound Quality: The sound quality is what truly sets these guys apart. These earbuds boast spatial sound as well as pure bass and offer a rich, deep bass and crystal-clear audio, making my music and calls sound fantastic. The noise-canceling feature is top-notch, effectively blocking out ambient noise and letting me immerse myself in the music. There is also “Ambient Aware” mode so you can hear what’s going on around you while listening to your music as well as “Talk Thru” which not only lowers music very low but amplifies your ambient sounds for conversation.
If you are in the fence for a well rounded earbud without breaking the bank, pull the trigger on these. They are solid performers, built like a tank and have thunderous bass for their portability.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Superior Sound, Comfort and Noise Cancellation
on February 7, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As expected with JBL audio products, the sound quality of these Tune Buds 2 is superb — full, clear and well balanced with crisp highs, natural mids and proportional bass at all volume levels. There’s no artificial “hyper” bass like some cheap brands use to fake a big sound at the expense of true sound quality. Even better, you can use the companion JBL Headphones app to create a custom EQ profile that totally suits your listening preference. I was especially impressed by the “Personi-Fi” hearing profile test conducted by the app on setup. It really did a great job of analyzing the weak points in my hearing profile and applying automatic adjustments to compensate. In my case, some of the higher frequencies were re-shaped and emphasized in a way that really enhances the audio quality in the frequency ranges where I have some hearing loss, making the whole listening experience quite improved and personalized.
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.
These earbuds are very comfortable and stay in well. 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. Some people report they prefer earbuds with a stem for staying in place better, but I have no problem with these “dot” style earbuds staying in place very well. The touch controls are easy to navigate once you get the hang of the single-tap, multi-tap, and long-tap gestures, and the touch controls can be further customized with the JBL Headphones app to suit your preferences. I find the larger flat surface of this design also creates a more ample touch surface that is easier to trigger than stem earbuds. This makes the touch controls less fickle and more pleasant to use.
Phone call audio quality is excellent, and people I call tell me that the outgoing audio is clear and natural sounding. I have other earbuds where the microphone quality seems a bit compromised and the sound quality is a bit "off”. But these Tune Buds 2 appear to have really risen to the next level with outstanding microphone quality.
As stated, sound quality is where these earbuds shine, and overall, I’m thrilled with my new JBL Tune Buds 2 noise cancelling earbuds and find my music enjoyment has been taken to a new level. Highly recommended!

Disconnects randomly a lot Wouldn’t Recommend

The sound quality is amazing when they work the way they’re supposed to
Response from jbl.comBy Customer Support, May 9, 2025
Thanks for your feedback. Bluetooth will perform well for up to 30 feet. However, walls, obstacles, and other wireless devices can impede that 30-foot range. If it works well at 10 feet or less, it is likely that there is something interfering with your wireless Bluetooth signal, causing these dropouts. Another possibility is that sometimes a Bluetooth connection can become corrupt. Here are some troubleshooting steps that might help isolate he issue. First, forget/unpair the headphones on your device, then perform manual pairing. Next, try to connect the headphones to a different device to see if it fixes the problem. Lastly, reset may fix the issue, much in the way rebooting a computer or phone fixes many problems. It will wipe all previous settings and pairings, so it will be necessary to pair your unit with your devices again. To do this, take out both earbuds from the case. Tap twice on both earbuds and on the third tap hold for 5 seconds before putting it back in the case. If you need more help, please contact us.

I bought these for my daughter who has noise sensitivity and lives in NYC. They are very comfortable and the adaptive noise canceling works so well for her. Great purchase! I'm planning on getting a pair for myself.
