Customer Ratings & Reviews

To say that these ear buds are out of this world would be overstating. Te sound quality is ok. The bass is somewhat lacking (though decent for what I paid for these). The tone adjustment through the app really does not do much. I did have to install the largest ear pads to help seal in the sound and that helped. They do last quite a while (I use them while washing my car and they only go down to about 80% after two hours). But I do like the fact that these are handy to have in a snap compared to my over-the-ears headphones (which are bulky and easily show). Would I recommend these? Yes and no. If you are looking for the best sound, then no. If you are looking for a value priced set of wireless ear buds (I paid $50 on sale), then yes, these are worth it.

I purchased the JBL Tune 235NC earbuds in-store, and I’ve been very impressed with the performance. The noise-cancelling feature works great, especially in busy environments or while commuting. The sound quality is crisp, with solid bass and clear vocals. They pair quickly with my phone and stay connected without interruptions. The fit is comfortable even during long wear, and the battery life lasts a full day with the charging case. I also appreciate the touch controls—they’re easy to use and responsive. Overall, these earbuds offer great value for the price, and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation.

Out of the box the sound profile is actually really good, especially for getting these for $50 on sale at Best Buy. Sound: Sound is a subjective topic based on the listeners ears, how well they can hear certain frequencies, and what feeling they are going for. I come from a background of car stereo competition (both clarity and bass) and audiophile grade home speakers. I listen to everything from Trance, Dance, Ambient, R&B, Country, to Rock and Metal and everything in-between. Moving forward, I am not going to compare the JBLs to super high end $2,500 over the ear wired types, but rather stick to practical average listener comparisons. The JBL 235NC's have solid bass, maybe even a little on the boomy side, but it does not take away from, or muddy, the sound stage. Highs, mids, and, vocal levels and placement are solid and can compete with all the $300 ear buds out there. I own, and have owned, many other ear buds so I will use a few to make a good comparison. For example, the JBLs have much cleaner bass than the Bose QuietComforts, and the JBLs have a flatter highs section, the rest of the sound is similar. The Sony WF-1000XM4s and 1000XM5s are a notch above on all levels as far as sound goes, but they also cost $250 more. So I would say if the Sony's were a 9 then the JBL 235NCs would be about an 8. The JBLs are more on par with the AirPod Pro 2s, with the JBLs having a slightly lower sound stage placement compared to the AirPod Pro 2s. The JBLs have a better open spatial sound to them compared to the Sennheiser CX Plus and better bass quality as well. Although the Sennheiser bass is more punchy. Keep in mind like the Sony's etc, the JBLs do have an app to control the EQ settings to your liking. I would not push the bass too far due to the smaller driver compared to some of the other fore mentioned models. Fit & Comfort to Wear: These fit so much better than any of the above mentioned ear buds. Can be worn for hours with no ear soreness or itching. Controls: The controls are exactly like the Sony's. Left ear bud has 2 levels of noise cancelling and an off setting. the right ear bud is 1 tap to pause, 2 taps to move to the next song, 3 taps to go back a song. Audible confirmation tones for both earbuds. Talking & Calls: Have not talked much on these yet to really rate them in that category. Final Thoughts: For the average music lover the JBLs have a good sound and try to provide the best of all worlds in a small comfortable package. Note: Some European reviews put these at 1.5 stars out of 5 due to the customer service and failures just out of warranty. I personally cannot confirm these issues, but it is worth noting. However, for $50 (on sale) I can buy 6 of these for the price of some of the others.

Really enjoy them for the price. Battery life has been great as well as the fit. Sound quality is great just wish they got a little louder.

I just bought these JBL headphones and I love fhem. I switched from Apple Airpods Pro Gen 1 and these blow away the airpods. The sound quality is immensely better and the bass is deep and rich. Its almost as there’s subwoofers in my ears. The battery life is incredible and I love the 10 min charge gets you 2 hours of listening time. I use these everyday and when I workout, and they can take the beating. I’m JBL over Airpods now.

I’ve been using the JBL Tune 235NC for a little while now, and honestly, they’re pretty solid for the price. The sound is clear with surprisingly good bass, and the noise cancelling works well enough to block out background chatter or traffic. I like how light and comfortable they feel, even during long listening sessions. Battery life is great—I get a few days of use without having to recharge the case. The only small issue I’ve had is that the Bluetooth connection can occasionally cut out for a second, but it doesn’t happen often. Overall, they’re a great deal, especially if you catch them on sale.

The JBL Tune 235NC earbuds are a fantastic option for anyone looking for excellent sound quality and active noise cancellation without breaking the bank. The audio is crystal clear, with deep bass and balanced mids and highs, making them perfect for music, podcasts, and calls. The noise-canceling feature works surprisingly well, cutting out background noise effectively, even in noisy environments. They’re super comfortable to wear for long periods, and the battery life is impressive—up to 40 hours with the case and ANC off. The fast-charging feature is also a lifesaver when I’m in a hurry. I also love the touch controls, which make it easy to adjust volume, switch tracks, or take calls without reaching for my phone. The connection is stable, and pairing them with my devices was seamless. If you’re looking for affordable earbuds with premium features, the JBL Tune 235NC is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

These eardubs are great. The sound is clear and bassy. The noise canceling is better than my old AirPods Pro (1st gen) the battery last about two weeks using them about 40 min daily, I actually have never run out of juice because when I charge them the case still have about half the charge and the earsubs are fully charged. Consorting with my AirPods Pro is a night and day difference. Before I used to charge my AirPods every 5 days because the case was running out of reserve power. The only downside is the apple integration and seemless integration with apple ecosystem finally the case covers are very limited. For the apple ones you can find many different styles. Comparing the sound quality with 1st gen AirPods Pro is a lot more bass inclined and perhaps a little louder. Apple ones are a little more clean and have better high and the stage is superior. You can feel the instruments and more small sounds than the JBL for the price the JBL are a much better investment. I got mines for 50$ which is great. Full price 99$ I would rather pay a little more for the AirPods Pro second gen. If you are not an apple user just buy them there is no better deal for the quality.

These were my first JBL earbuds, so i wasn't sure what to expect. I currently use the samsung galaxy buds2 pro earbuds and i wasnt expecting these to be as good, but they actually are just as good! The bass on these is great, as is the overall sound! Fitment is subjective but these fit very securely in my ears and feel very comfy. ANC works great, it blocked out all the noise from a very busy gym visit! I got these on sale, but honestly they are even worth buying at the full MSRP!

These ear buds worked great for the first two to three months. After that the ear buds had issues making good connection in the case, no matter what I tried, from cleaning the ear bud sockets out, insuring the buds were charging before I closed the case or even letting them charge with the case open. Still the same issue. They also like to connect to the paired device at random times. The case can be closed and the buds will try to connect and if you are on a call, this can become very frustrating. Talking otp with these are ok, sometimes the microphone wont pick up speech and you would have to tell or at times the microphone can make you sound muffled. They would also disconnect at random times and then reconnect. But for the price, I would buy them again. All the functions worked well and at half the cost of airpods, if I lose them. I can just buy another pair with less of a hit on the pockets, I tend to miss place and lose things so that is why I got these instead of the airpods. These also work better, sound good and stay in the ear with minimum discomfort after 8hr.

These earbuds sound great. Bass is heavy but smooth and the mid's and high's don't get shrilly. Noise cancelling is ok. I usually use them in the talk through/transparency mode and they work as expected for that. Haven't had any trouble with the fit or with them falling out. Comfortable enough for me to wear 5-6 hours at a time.

These are top tier. I have had Airpod Pros, Jabra earbuds and have tried out many others. These blow each single one of them out of the water. The noise cancellation is amazing. I don't even wear ear plugs at work anymore. I just pop these babies on (at my own risk). The battery life is amazing I charge them once a week. The thing I liked most is that they stay in your ear. My Airpods were constantly slipping out because of the terrible design and poor quality silicone bud. JBL earbuds fit snuggly and I go on runs without worry now. my ears start to get a little sore after an hour or two normally but, not with these. I'll have these on for hours and won't feel a thing. Now the biggest factor, I bought these for $50 on sale! I loved them so much I bought a second pair for $80. For the price you pay you honestly cannot get any better than these earbuds. Even price aside these keep up with higher end buds as well.

One ear bud won't charge if the other is in there. I use the right one more and if the left one is fully charged, the right one won't charge unless i take out the left one... which is weird. Other than that, the sound is good. The feel of them in my ear is good.

Great sound, snug, comfortable and long life! Got these for a transatlantic flight and they lasted 8 hours or so on one charge. The noise canceling quieted the jet noise, and the feature to disable to hear conversation is v handy! Great buy!

Ive always used samsung buds for my phone. But reading the reviews on these, i decided to give them a try. Bass is so good on these. The sound and quality are awesome. The case stays charged about 3 days and i use these everyday. Being that i have jbl 300 speaker, i knew these had to be just as good.

I bought these 6 months ago and I work construction running heavy equipment. There was not a rain day or even a couple leaps I took off a payloader with a fall into puddels that stopped these things. Battery life is pretty fair for what it does and cost considered. Budget sense for sure! only thing i really know is im staying with JBL and cant wait to try out the tune pro2 with the 6 mics. Thank you for another killer product JBL. Beats got nothing on you!

These earbuds are really comfortable and the sound quality is excellent. I can tell a major difference from my previous sets of ear phones in bass and crisp sound in listening to music, phone calls or playing games on my laptop.

This is my second pair. The battery in the original pair died after a year and a half. The sound quality and noise canceling works great during flights. Battery life is good for long flights. The case recharges quickly. I am not an audiophile but find that they sound pleasant. The phone app allows you to set a custom the playback profile in addition to the preset ones. It comes with three different tips for different ear profiles.

I love these. They fit well and the sound quality is great. The charge lasts longer than any earbuds I've owned. They are definitely worth the price!
