      Our JBL Tune 235NC TWS is recommended to connect with smartphones, tablets, laptops, or PCs. Although it can connect to your TV via Bluetooth, you may experience audio-video delays as these earbuds aren't equipped with an aptX low latency codec. JBL

    If I could give zero stars I would. I purchased two of them. One the only function that worked by finger was volume, and the sound quality was bad I tried a few different equalizer apps none of them helped much. On the other pare only one ear worked.

      We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback. Here are some troubleshooting steps that can help isolate the issues for both of your JBL Tune 235NC. You may check the Quick Start Guide to see what other functions you can use with touch controls as well as the JBL Headphone App. If the other pairs of earbuds are not charging, you may try to clean the charging terminals on the earbuds using a swab dipped in rubbing alcohol, as foreign matter on the metal charging contacts may affect the charging process. If the issue remains, you may contact our customer support for further assistance. JBL

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're here to help. Here are some troubleshooting steps that can help isolate the issue of your JBL Tune 235NC. In order for the headphones to give you the best audio response, you must create a tight seal within your ear canal. You may also check the balance control on your source device by going to the "Accessibility" settings and checking the balance control on your music player app or JBL headphones App, commonly found in the playback or EQ settings. Next, try to connect the headphones to a different device (phone/tablet/music player) to see if it fixes the problem. Lastly, is to clean the ear tips. If you need further assistance, you may contact our customer support. JBL

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Bluetooth typically performs well within a 30-foot range, but walls, obstacles, and other wireless devices can impede this. If you experience dropouts within 10 feet, there may be interference. To resolve the issue with your JBL Tune 235NC, ensure it is within 10 feet of your device with a clear line of sight (no obstacles). Try to forget/unpair the earbuds on your device and initiate a reset. To reset your earbuds, first make sure that the case is not charging, tap the right earbud twice and hold the button on the third tap for more than 5 seconds. Reset will wipe all previous settings and pairings, so it will be necessary to pair your unit with your devices again. Lastly, try to connect the earbuds to a different device to identify if the issue lies with the earbuds or the initial device you paired them with. If the issue persists, please be informed that all our products come with a one-year warranty. To file a claim and assist you with the replacement, please contact us at (877) 871-6755 / Mon - Fri: 9:00 am - 11:00 pm (ET) Sat-Sun: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (ET). JBL

    I was immediately unimpressed with the sound of these things. Tinny, no low end, and not very loud. I tried a bigger set of rubber tips, which helped a little, but still... My old, wired $20 Sonys blow these away.

      We’re here to help you with your JBL Tune 235NC TWS. To achieve the best seal and secure fit, you must create a tight seal within your ear canal. To do this, angle the ear tip slightly downward to make it easier to insert into your ear canal, gently twist the earbud to fit it securely into the shape of your ear, and continue twisting the earbud into your ear canal. For further assistance, please contact our customer support. JBL

      Thanks for your feedback. If you have already maximized the volume levels on both your source device and the earbuds itself and still find the loudness insufficient, please note that the EQ (equalizer) feature can be accessed through the JBL Headphones App to adjust and enhance the volume levels of specific frequencies in the audio signal. If you have already tried this and remain unsatisfied with the loudness, rest assured that we're always looking for ways to improve, and your feedback will be forwarded to our development team for future improvement.
