    Battery life

    Rated 2 out of 5 stars

    Pretty painful

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    These headphones have run-of-the-mill noise cancellation. The case outer finish scratches extremely easily, and you can't cover them up. It doesn't matter which tip you use, the bud itself is so bulky and uncomfortable in the ear, that I'm in actual pain from using it after the next day. The battery life is the only redeeming quality, but I've not had these for long so I can't say how the battery decay is. I would stay away from these. Its unfortunate because JBL is a great consumer audio company

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're here to help you with your Tune 230NC TWS. You may try to manually pair your earbuds by pressing and holding the touch control of your right earbud for 5 secs. You can also try to factory reset the earbuds. To do it, double tap the button of an earbud and hold it on the 3rd tap for 5 seconds, then put the earbuds back in the case to complete the reset. If the same issue remains, please contact our customer support for further assistance. JBL

      We appreciate you giving our JBL Tune 235NC a try, and we thank you for your honest feedback. If the right earbud stopped working most likely it doesn't have a charge. With TWS ear buds, charging issues are frequently caused by foreign matter on the metal charging contacts. This can include sweat, grease, ear wax, etc. These issues can be resolved by cleaning the contact points on the earbuds and charging case. If you need more assistance, please contact customer support. JBL

    Got stuck in mono mode after a month

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    They worked great for a month. 2 weeks outside of the returnable date they got stuck in "mono mode". Now the only way I can get them fixed is to return them to JBL but JBL's website won't let me log in. When I called JBL support, the guy there couldn't confirm that the Tune 235NC model even existed.

      Thanks for your feedback. Our JBL Tune 235NC TWS is a Best Buy exclusive at the moment, but they are identical to the Tune 230NC TWS. Please try doing a factory reset. To do this, double tap either the left or right earbud and hold it on the 3rd tap for 5 seconds, then put the earbuds back in the case to complete the reset and forget the name of the earbuds on the source device before connecting again. If the same issue remains, please contact JBL Customer Support for further assistance. JBL

      Thanks for your feedback. Our JBL Tune 235NC earbuds have active noise cancellation (ANC) feature which helps reduce background noise during phone calls. To activate the noise-canceling feature, tap your left earbud once. You can also use our JBL Headphones App to enable it. For optimal noise reduction during phones calls, make sure the eartips fit securely in your ears. To achieve the best seal and a 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. You can also try different sizes of ear tips that came with the earbuds to check a better fit. JBL

    The worst ear buds I’ve ever owned.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Contanly sped music up, cut in and out, and didn’t function anywhere I tried them. House, gym, anywhere. These were so bad, I went back to plug in headphones. I’ve never seen a bluetooth device so poorly perform, especially at the price they cost. $40 wired ear buds kick the living xxxx out of these on every level.

      We appreciate your feedback on our JBL Tune 235NC TWS. We're here to help. Since the earbuds are susceptible to moist or deep-seated dirt and could cause sound issues, please try to clean the earbuds by removing the dirt after each use, using a pointed toothpick to remove large amounts and a small amount of rubbing alcohol applied to a cotton swab for final degreasing. If cleaning doesn't solve the problem, the next thing to check is the balance control on your source device by going to the "Accessibility" settings. You can also check it on playback or EQ settings of your music player app or via the JBL Headphones App. Lastly, unpair the JBL Tune 235NC TWS and try to factory reset it by double-tapping the button on any side, then hold it for 5 seconds on your third tap. If the issue continues after reconnecting the earbuds to your device, please reach out to our Customer Support for further assistance. JBL

      Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Both earbuds should be playing audio as soon as your device has been connected to it. If you can no longer hear out of one earbud, you may check if the bud with no sound is charging, the earbud may not have charged properly. If you determine that the earbud with no sound is 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, please contact us at (800) 336-4525 Mon - Fri: 9:00 am - 11:00 pm (EST) Sat-Sun: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm (EST) JBL

    The sound quality is okay. The problem is they don’t turn in 90% of the time. Every time I try to turn them on (every day) they never turn on for about 10 minutes until randomly they come back to life.
