I just bought these today , the noise cancelling on these for the price is immense , the quality of the sound and the bass is immense I am super … super impressed . I downloaded the app and you can further customise them , you have different settings for the equaliser man oh man !these are really great for that price point . I have been using airpods gen 2 trust me these are way better … way better it has to be said . At low volumes they are really really great , medium to high they are still great I love them . I would definitely definitely recommend them
I just got these today and they are great but the noise cancelling seems to do little to nothing. I have the app and nc is on is that all you need to do?
What a lovely man, stumbled across this review while seeing what JBL earbuds I should get. Liked, subscribed and purchased the JBL Tune 230NC TWS. Thank you Mr Simon for a series of great reviews.
as an owner of this particular model for over a year now, i highly advise anyone considering getting it to get something else… it has a very serious battery problem… good if you can catch the issue early so you can have them fixed or replaced but tough luck if you’re out of warranty… it was good while it worked…
was thinking of buying air pods today but since it was Prime Day , did a little shopping and came across these. I got these for 60% off today ($40 from $99.99) cant wait to try them!
Nice informative post , I just picked these up got them at BJs club for $44:99 , you coverd pretty much everything but I was really interested in the the first time charging how too ,and getting the most out of the charge times and how to make your ear buds last for a real long time with proper care and use , cant wait till they charge up so i can rock them buds ! ,other then that awesome video,thanks !
Bought these, very happy. Sound is powerful. Better than some over ear. Sometimes I lose sound in left ear bud, however only for 2 seconds then returns ok. Otherwise awesome.
Ive had these for 3months and now the left one is not working. It might have something to do with the assistant, keeps on muting the left one, to hear a voice. Still havent figured out how to reset them...
Just got mine today, I adjusted the bass, and yes, I'm loving these. The fit in my ears is awesome with the medium tips, I have the Samsung earbuds, which I like, but I like these better, awesome 👌 review
How are they? i might want to buy them if they are loud enough since my tuned moped is rlly rlly loud. I've also heard people are getting charging issues?
how can i get to stereo mode?? im having a hard time its always mono mode, i cannot use the stereo mode ,i cannot use two airpods at the same time pls help me
Hi, your review is very helpful and I bought it. But I have hard time to connect it to my windows laptop. It’s not found in my laptop. Do you know how to resolve it?
Can someone help? Bought these but can't seem to get them synced with eachother, when activating bluetooth on my iphone it shows two devices to connect not just one 😢😢😢
Awesome review - showing my age 😂 but looking for my first set up wireless earbuds and not really want to fork out the $$ for Apple. This review showed me all I needed to purchase a pair today - thanks!
Hope you see this comment, but I can't find anything on the net if these earbuds support wireless charging. My sister lost the charging case, and I'm left with drained earbuds.
I just ordered the color blue today thru Target for the sale price of $49.99 reg price from $99.99. it should arrive on Wednesday 2/8. I'll be back for update. Thanks for sharing! 😀
@@ProGaming-bm6ff Thanks for your reply. Just to let you know, this is my first ever ear buds so I really can't compare to others. Pairing is easy. Bass is great! Calls are clear and crisp. Easy to operate. Noise cancelling is great. The app is easy to use. I use this mostly for phone calls and listening to music. I am very happy with the JBL 230NC. 😃👏👍
i'm loving them too! ....but can't figure out how to link them to my macbook. they dont show up in macbook bluetooth preferences.. any tips on that? thanks
Idk why but I can't connect to them. "You need an app to use this device" and when I open the app it says that I need to connect to bluetooth with them first.
hello can you advise me what to choose these jbl or maybe Galaxy buds 2 I mean the quality of Music??? and the price is similar and I have a dilemma, I am asking for help for the xiaomi poco f3 phone
I’m used to air pods but considering buying these, however it doesn’t say anywhere if there’s volume up/down on both sides. Can you please help me with this? My hubby bought me a different JLB pair that I don’t care for and they have volume down on Left side & volume up on Right side, I’d prefer to have the volume up/down on both sides as I typically wear only one at a time. Thanks!
You can find out online, i found it just looking for specs but I don't remember the exact specs or exact site. I DO remember that each earbud has different functions so depending on which bud/side you have on depends what function you can turn on and off.
when I got these before Easter, and I have to say, experience with cheap, "wireless" headphones, y'know, like wireless headphones, but in ur ears, where both of the "pods" are connected to each other, and with my good hyperx headphones gone, these are SO GOOOD!! The anc on them is good if your not traveling, when you ride on a car the anc can ruin the bass, and sound when I hit a bump, but I love these! I love bass and these have it. the only thing is that I have to re-adjust them if I'm walking but overall, there good. (if you have them in your pocket, be aware, they're slippery, I got mine stolen because they slipped out my pocket, but I got another set of them.) In the future I'm looking to get the live pro 2s.
I saw you video yesterday, and i went today to get a pair of JBL TUNE 230NC , but now only the right one it's sounds... Do you know how to fix this problem ? Thank you
just got these on sale at target for $30 and these are absolutely perfect! had airpod pro’s before this and i’d recommend these even at full price to anyone!
Thank you, but can I use the JBL headphones with only one side, right or left, and control the properties, or is there only one main side? Since I own an old version of JBL + Sony, and they only have one main side As I own Samsung bods, and they have the feature to control in either direction
So many options So I need so pro advice on earbuds for TV watching The wife bought a set of the cheap Kurdene but the connection is spotty and the background nose is annoying I guess a main concern is distance as the TV is at least 15'+ away so any suggestions on a set ? Thanks
I’m here because I ordered some and they came today I already own AirPods 3 and let me tell you the sound quality is way better than AirPods they have more features i especially love the adjustable equalizer in the app call quality is crystal clear i have yet to find anything bad about them yet and I also found out just out of curiosity that if u want a case for it they have some generic cases that fit them on Amazon set up was super easy they work with hey siri and the bass is really really good the noise canceling is great I turned up the tv volume and activated the noise canceling and I honestly couldn’t hear the tv in the background I watched a movie clip on RUclips and it’s like surround sound I could hear the explosions clearly as well as gunfire and car engines I love them so much I might toss my AirPods
I need to know there has got to be a way to change this. When I adjust them at the gym it turns the music off. There's got to be a way to change it. Can you help?
Hello Simon, I've found your reviews to be very precise and straightforward but I have a very pressing question for which I don't seem to get a clear answer from other tech channels that I've come across. Does these have a latency while consuming video content (not gaming, just watching videos) on Android?
Hola, yo los tengo y para juegos tiene un retraso de 1-3 segundos. Para el caso de video casi igual pero mejora con la aplicación de JBL que tiene opción para música o video
So my GF and I just got these and I really like them but I would love them if they were louder, we both feel like at max volume on our iPhones (14 and 11) the earbuds aren’t very loud and this really disappoints me. Is there anyway to make these louder? Even cheap skull candy wired earbuds are louder please help lol
Hi, I bought online and received yesterday. After setting up the right side is dead silent.Did resetting and pairing the L & R a few times but right side still dead silent. Also noticed when both ear buds in charging box the L side got a red light while R is blue. Can anyone help?
How do u know if the noice cancelling is activated or not? No matter how many tries i keep on taping my left earbud, theres no difference in the sound. I tried connecting it to the JBL app but the settings will not show up, it only shows that it is connected but cant change the settings from the app to disable/ enable the noise cancelling. This is an expensive earbuds but im starting to think that iwasted my money on this.
When you tap and hear ”beep” the ANC is off. When you tap again, ANC turns on with a beepBeep. If you tap again, you will hear a beepBEEP (a bit higher note than the last) as ambient aware turns on. But no, you can’t know for sure at any given time if the ANC is on or not, you basically have to cycle those three commands back and forth until you hear the beepBeep for the ANC
Hi. These are my first ear buds and I can't seem to get the controls to work. No amount of tapping will get the song to fast forward to the next song or go backwards. Can the volume be adjusted on the ear buds? I am struggling. Can anyone help?
Got mine Heaveir compared to 1more comfobuds Sighty uncomfortable since the tip aint oval hope to get used Can pose the music but i have to reach my phone to contine the music Sound quality is perfect
i bought a pair months ago and love them.. however the right earbud kept having low battery even after it being in a fully charged case for hours. found out that for some reason its usually not charging. if you push it in the light will come on. i thought it was defective and bought another pair (also as a spare).. same thing happens! really frustrating because i love these earbuds. wondering if anyone else has experienced this
@@ooc7oo269 I think the bottom of the earbud just wasnt coming into contact with the charging port. ended up buying the sony 1000xm4's and then the sony linkbuds s.. both charge with no problems, sound great and have great anc. the xm's are good if youre sitting still but theyre so big i cant get the tip in my ear so if moving around, they dont stay snug so the bass isnt good.. linkbuds are great except if im jogging they bounce and make noise one thing i liked about the jbl's was how easy it was to put them in and take them out.. the linkbuds take a little more effort
Use the same USB cable it will charge. I also charge with phone use cable it show charging but not accurately fit with the charging knob so it will stop charging after sometimes.but buds USB cable will not loose after connecting it's properly fit inside.
Ordered theese and looking forward to receive. I trusted around ear headphones, but... Mostly for travelling because of the size. In every day they are just to big to carry My Huawei freebuds free, is good but, NC i does not work, in this type. But worst, after i forgot them in my pocket and washed them at 40° the power only last for 2 days in the charger cover. So trying these, and see if they can replace my Huawei freebuds 3, and Denon ah-GC-20
avoid sony at all costs, i just bought them and i regret it bcs of the hissing noise, and here i am searching the internet for a new quality pair of earbuds 5:05
What do you guys think of the JBL TUNE 230NC? Are these the best $100 earbuds?
Well, not the best, but it’s very good.
I think they have 6mm drivers.
Can these connect to a pc
I purchased it ...but i feel the volume is low......is this normal volume or low volume
