  • Garbage. Starts out B- sound quality gets worse quickly.

    Less than six months old and these things are garbage. Complete and total waste of money. Buy the Apple AirPods instead.

    Usually a big fan of JBL products, including Bluetooth products. Have used other JBL headphones and Bluetooth devices for years with no issues.

    These things paired up quickly and stay charged for a long time. However, they stopped working correctly with just every day use sitting at a desk. Noises canceling is garbage out of the box.

    Sound quality begin getting worse after about 30 days. First, the right earbud started to fade, and then the left one gave out a few days later. Now at maximum volume with the equalizer’s turned all the way up, they barely make a noise.

    I ordered these in February. Just recently my left earbud has quit charging. I've tried cleaning the prongs. I'm not sure what else I can do.

  • Worked great until the right earbud stoped working

    I bought this product for my mom looking for wireless earbuds that worked good without paying over $100. I came across this product and thought it was a good deal (got them on sale). At a glance, the reviews also looked pretty good so I thought I'd give them a shot.

    When we received them, we thought they were great! The sound was good, noise cancelation was good, and they had a good look to them. Within a week, the right earbud stopped working. I tried to find a solution to get them to work with no luck. From my research, it look like the small pins in the charging cradle of the right earbud is defective. I tired cleaning them but that didn't work.

    I don't recommend this product as I read that this has happened to other people and sometimes they can get them back to work but in my case, I wasn't able to.

    • Love these!

      I really enjoy these earbuds. It’s a great alternative to all the super expensive options. The noise canceling feature is great. I wore them while flying the other day and it canceled out all of the engine noise. I use them to work out as well and they work great.

    • Worked for a while.

      The case didn't seem to charge the ear buds from the start without having it plugged in to the wall, but now the right earbud doesn't start charging at all. They both read 10% this morning so I plugged the case in to charge, the left one fully charged and the right did not. I have had them for 9 months and I did not use them often.

    • These suck. Right one stopped working.

      The right one stopped working a long time ago. It just rings some stupid tone, then shuts down. Can't use noise cancelling with only one earbud. I can't return them anymore. I have better earbuds that I paid half price for. Very disappointed in these and won't buy JBL brand ever again.

    • Amazing headphones! Even beats some high end products!

      I read reviews for this and it peaked my interest. A lot of people say the transparency mode is too loud. Well duh! That’s the point of transparency, it’s to help you notice what’s around you while your playing music. Not to mention the transparency mode, talk through mode, and noise cancelation mode can all be adjusted in the JBL app! So I don’t really see why people are complaining about these. Now it’s a given that the price does mean a couple of things, most of the time having advance tech ear buds means that the price can be anywhere from $150-$300 normally. These are $100, only downside I don’t like is you can’t connect from one device to another without disconnecting the first device. I have a pair of Beats Studio Pros and as much as I would like to say those are better, the sound quality and noise transparency on the JBL NC is far by way better than the studio pros by beats. If you want loud earbuds with slightly and I mean slightly better noise cancelation than go with the Beats Studio pros, but the Jbl out do Beats Studio pros sounds quality by a long shot and even competes with the noise cancelation as I have said there is very little difference. I hope this helps out with your purchase! Remember research what you want before purchasing. These are 100% worth the price

    • the function of canceling external noise is practically imperceptible

      I liked the product, it met perfectly what I was looking for, however the function of canceling external noise is practically imperceptible. The battery is very good, you hardly need to charge it.

    • Won’t stay in my ears.

      I don’t know if it’s my little ears or the earbuds. I’ll be giving them away. They won’t stay in my ears first of all and after a while they hurt. One phone conversation and I felt my head just buzzing and headachy, very annoying . If I smile or talk they fall out. Very disappointed.

      Worked great for about 5 months, then started having slight trouble charging. 3 months later one bud has lost about 50% of its volume and has become very difficult to charge.

    • Buds Fall Out Every Morning

      I was really happy with the sound quality of these earbuds. I wanted them to work out since they were pricier that what I normally spend. I tried these for several weeks. Unfortunately, as soon as I start sweating, they fall out. I even switched to the bigger buds they offer in the package, hoping they would stay lodged in a bit firmer, but, alas, they do not 👎🏼

    • Awesome headphones for great price!

      These are now my favorite headphones. Used to use jlab’s. These are more comfortable, the sound is amazing, controls are easier and I love the Jbl app for even more control. You can’t beat the quality of these headphones, especially at this price. Love these case. I use them everyday and the charge lasts for days. I am overly satisfied with the quality and performance.

    • Ok sound, connecting is frustrating

      I purchased these when they were on deep discount on prime day and…you get what you pay for essentially. For less than $40 the sound is ok but trying to connect to devices is a bit frustrating. Frustrating because if they are connected/paired to a device they won’t connect to another device until you “forget device” on the original paired device first. For example, I was watching a movie on my kindle fire and paired the JBL ear buds to my kindle, finished the movie and turned off my kindle and put the ear buds away. Next day, tried to listen to music from my phone and tried pairing the JBL ear buds to my phone but they never showed up on Bluetooth available devices on my phone. After several minutes of trying to figure out why they weren’t showing up to pair, I got out my kindle and went under Bluetooth settings and they then connected to my kindle. I clicked on “forget device” under the JBL ear buds and what do you know, they showed up available to pair on my phone. Extremely inconvenient especially if you are not around the previously paired device to disconnect/forget them. But again they serve their purpose for sound but nothing more than that.

    • Fantastic Noise Cancelling Ear Buds!

      I was on the fence about getting these ear buds, but when they went on sale for Prime Day I took the plunge. I have to say, THESE NOISE CANCELLING EARBUDS DO NOT DISAPPOINT!!

      I had been considering these because of the price point, but also had been considering earbuds from Bose, Sony, and Apple. Buy once, cry once right?? The more expensive options from other manufacturers have to be better right?? These JBL Tune 230NC earbuds have exceeded my expectations! Bass for days! Sound is pure, crystal clear and amazing. Noise cancelling capabilities are really good. The JBL Headphones app for iPhone works really well and allows you to customize your buds to your listening needs.

      I couldn't have asked for more from a set of earbuds. Don't waste your money on the more expensive options. These are where it's at! Buy them. Buy them now.

    • Great for Small Ears!

      I've gone through many earbuds, costing me tons of $$. I bought these during prime hoping they would fit better. I have very small ears and most earbuds won't fit, even with special bud cushions. Other earbuds I've owned always start to fall out, and I have to catch them before they hit the floor. These are light, and with the insert and turn (and the hook?), they fit perfectly! Not once have I had to catch them - even at the gym! The sound is great! The only thing I wish I could do is use more than one command on a bud - I don't like having to open the app or take out an earbud to talk to someone (while at the gym). I want to be able to control Google Assistant (Yes! I can finally use google assistant with my buds [I have Samsung]) and ambient sound, etc. at the same time on a single bud. Other than this, I love them!

    • Don’t let the brand fool you

      The connection always falls out and have to reset them often and always happens when I need them the most. They don’t charge because the headphones don’t sit all the way down inside the case to make contact with the charging probes which also contributes to them always staying paired when you don’t need it to. I read other similar reviews and stil ahead and purchased it because they’re JBL’s. Don’t waste ur money. Very frustrating. $100 down the drain:

    • A good pair of earbuds

      The sound is good, not the best, the max volume is not to high and the noise cancellation works, it reduces a 90% of external noise. The earbuds are not so comfortable, the design is not as ergonomic as you could think.

      Needed good sounding earbuds for running and these are pretty good. The sound is solid including bass, they are comfy, and don’t slip off. The only aspect that could improve is the passive noise cancellation.
