I've heard of some 230NC units giving problems, so I'd recommend the oppo over it. It's a better long-term device since I haven't heard of issues since its launch.
Loved your review and bought jbl 230nc , 5:11 in latency test you mentioned that video mode makes no difference in latency. I thing you are using an older device without BT 5.2 support. I was too sure that i wont be able to game with these but thats not the case ,as soon as i turned video mode latency drastically reduced, it’s reduced to such low lvl that all videos are now almost perfectly lip synced. No issues in gaming either. I am using ipad pro m1 and 1+ 10R
Hey Paul, First of all loved your unbiased review. Please keep up the good work. I Need your help in selecting the earbuds. I'm a sound engineer and Audiophile myself and want to invest in good pairs of TWS within 5-6k. I'm fan of flatter sound with little presence boosted for acoustic sepration. I was using 1+ bullet Z2 but really didn't liked it that much. So little fuzzy about buds Z2. Liked 230NC but Lag is pulling me over from it. I've used JBL before and I like it sound but that's the only issue I mentioned. I'm currently confused in both now and don't mind trying wireless IEM also or anything you suggest. If Buds Z2 is not very muddy amd boomy I may consider it. Pls suggest.
The Buds Z2 on its Bold EQ setting to me is more neutral than its default setting. I prefer it since it's not bass heavy. I know what you're saying about the JBL. Its lag is quite bad. Consider the Tangzu Wan'er with a BT module if it's detail recovery and separation you want. They're a good set without over exaggerated highs and lows.
@@incognitobackup2332 I just received my z2. After using it for about 48 hours I didn't found any noise issue in particular. Yes, The low end is kinda muddy a bit and there it would be great if presence Freq. would be boosted at about 2 dB there. But its me. I think about 90% would not mind these thing. You can go for it definitely. One thing I really didn't liked about it is HeyMelody do not show case battery percentage.
1 year later for me the battery has fully died it doesn't even last 15 mins now and it went down very immediately not even slow degredation in the first 8 months i noticed no appreciable battery capacity degradation.
I bought these 2 months ago , after one month, right earbud stopped working and I got it replaced . But after the replacement the anc is not working as good as it used to . Just sharing my experience about these earbuds .
@@deepakanand7740 You need to visit nearby service centre with invoice , they will get your details will ship to the company's head office and you will get new earbuds within 5-7 days at your address.
@@gsk945Nope, they have some manufacturing issues, i had 2 sets of these, last year the right earbud went really quiet even at max volume you could barely hwar anything, this year with the other set the left earbud is not charging most of the time, or goes down from 80 to 10 % battery within minutes
I have these for like 6 months now and now one has a reduced volume, any suggestion? And also the max volume is very low, i don't know if it has always been or overtime it reduced.. Waiting for your response..
That's very odd. To begin with, try this....reduce volume from your phone to the lowest, then the same from the earphones volume, then increase from your phone and see. This has usually helped other people. There is sometimes a mismatch between phone and earphones amping... This usually sorts it out. If this doesn't help, try doing a reset, and if even that doesn't help, a call to the JBL customer support should be able to figure out what's going on.
I havent planned on it yet but considering I've gotten so many requests about it, I'm considering putting up a community poll to help me make a decision on them.
The earbuds worked fine for the first few months, but within nine months of purchase, the left earbud stopped working completely. It did not produce any sound or connect to my phone. I visited customer service center twice for the same issue, but I did not get any proper resolution or assistance. I was given vague and unsatisfactory answers saying that cleaning the earbuds with a toothpick or tweezers would solve the issue. When I asked if this was the suggestion given in the manual and whether I would not be held liable for any damage to the product caused due to this, for which the service center told me that I need to keep on visiting them if there is any issue and they can only clean the earbuds and give them back to me and there is no other alternative. Wow, JBL ear buds are amazing, and the service offered is fabulous and the explanation given by the service center technician is just out of the world. I just love going to the customer center every other day to get them cleaned. It's like having a car that needs constant oil changes instead of earphones.
This sounds quite unethical to me. If their "cleaning" isn't a proper resolve, they should replace the product since it's under warranty. Consider writing to someone in customer care or higher up. The folk at the service centers don't have much authority with replacements unless given the go-ahead from higher up. Did you buy your unit when it was first launched? A few people have written in the comments about this issue, and it seems to me like the first batch has this very problem. Even a company like OnePlus does replacements, one would expect nothing less from JBL.
How reliable are these buds? I've heard the JBL 230NC have the same issue as Realme buds air 2 & 3 where one of the buds stops working completely after a few months of use
I've had some people write in telling me about this very issue. Apparently, it's resolved after a cleaning of the point on the buds. Dirt doesn't allow it to charge up, so it doesn't respond. A simple clean up is what's being done at the service centers and sent back after it shows that it's charging up. It can be a hassle for certain, but if you keep them clean, it's worth the trouble considering how nice they sound.
As a previous owner of 230nc, I had to replace my unit thrice for the very same problem and I don't personally think it's a cleaning issue i think it's a design or manufacturing mistake. I used to keep all my units clean and frequently cleaned them.
@@PaulsPOV JBL service centre employees themselves didn't have any clue and they just always gave me a new unit whenever I went with my defective unit. Also , all the times I visited the service centre I encountered many people who had the same issue as mine with their 230nc's as well.
Then this is definitely some sort of a manufacturing issue. Cleaning the unit will only be a temporary fix. I hope JBL addresses this issue more seriously than just cleaning people's units. The majority of people who have told me about this said that the service centers only did a clean-up and sent them back home with the same unit. Here's hoping your unit doesn't give any more problems.
My priority is call quality and anc ! what should i choose jbl 230nc or nothing ear 1 ? because nothing ear 1 cost almost 91 euros ? i need your recommendation! i have watched your video comparison , but i need your prespective view ! let me know ! @paul
The Nothing seems to do a slightly better job at eliminating background noises compared to the 230NC, which you would have noticed in the comparisons in the call quality chapters. Something to keep in mind is that the Nothings can have a few glitches over time like many people have faced, where as the 230NC only has the bit of an issue when connecting to its app. The 230 will also certainly give you longer call times compared to the Nothing.
Hi Paul. I'm planning to shell out money to buy good tws especially for calling. I see the price for z2 and 230nc are almost similar now, so which would you term better as of now after updates. Should i opt among these or would you suggest some other tws?
I wouldn't reccomend the Z2. I had a hissing issue with them which a lot of people are still facing, even one or two times after being replaced for the same issue. OnePlus doesn't seem to be doing a call back for their defects. Have a look at my 6TWS comparison, the call demo will give you a good idea of how well each of those buds do. The Nothings seem to handle noises the best but I'd leave you to decide which one will work best for you.
@@PaulsPOV I did check your 6 tws comparision video and felt JBL to be good based on it and considering budget of 5k. But I'm worried after just now going through the comments on this video about so many issues with JBL. For a person with a 10k phone, spending more than 5k doesn't seem sensible 😅
Yea some folk have had issues with their units, thankfully however I haven't faced any just yet. It's safe to say that JBLs after sales are good though. The few people ice interacted with who had issues seem to have had their problems resolved by the service center folk. Nice attitude compared to the folk at OnePlus.
Hi Sir, I really like the way you review the audio quality test.👍 Could you please suggest whether I should buy One Plus Buds Pro or Nothing 1, both of these buds are available at an 8k price point.
Hi, I havent tested the OP Buds Pro so wouldn't want to give you any wrong information about them. I do prefer these JBLs over the Nothing Ear 1 but did test the LG FP5 which is also a terrific sounding set of earphones which I feel trumps both these earphones on a sound front. Feel free to give my review on it a look. I have briefly spoken about these three in a video with 6 TWS earphones. Hope this helps.
Hey Paul, thanks for this review, I ordered these 15 days back and found the volume to be very low even at 100% both on iOS and Android is there a way to fix it.Thanks
When you use it next, reduce volume to 0 only using the earphones, NOT the phone. Then from the phone, reduce volume to minimum. After this increase the volume on the phone. This should work. It's happened to a few other people too. I usually don't go above 60% volume, it gets too loud for me.
Hey even I bought this 5 days back… but deeply distressed by its performance as when I am in call in my room the other side recipients felt vexed as they could hear the fan sound as well though the ANC feature is on. And moreover when I was on bike and speaking in call the recipients could not hear my voice. Though the product is eligible for return policy they are not accepting and when I try to return in Flipkart it shows like for device related issues go to the service provider. Right now I have given it in the service centre. Not sure the product quality is like that or it is my bad luck to receive the defective ones.
@@PaulsPOV Hey thanks for checking Paul, tried on my iPhone 13 didn’t work maybe I’m doing something wrong will try again in some android phone to see if this works
Hi Paul terrific video! But I'm confused between the 230nc and the 330nc flex. Which one would you recommend? I only care about the sound quality and clarity of music.
I will say sony n jbl is the pioner of the sound..no brand cant touch this two legendary sound..u cant buy the quality with the cheapest price ..but ,with the level of the price range wireless they still gave u the quality good sound..
Of the few I've reviewed I like the Realme Buds Air 3 and the Oppo enco air 2 pro. I have done a comparison between the two, feel free to give it a watch.
I'm in the process of testing JBLs new Tune Beam and think it might be what you're looking for. Its price should come down for the upcoming Amazon sale, so it should fit within your budget.
@Paul's POV SIR Since a conversation is going on below, in comparison, I thought I should make a separate post on this. Well now it has been almost a month that I have been using *OnePlus Buds Z2.* After using Oppo Enco Air2 Pro I was not to sure if the sound of OnePlus Z2 would also be as good *but surprisingly it did not let me down.* *SOUND:* The Bass, Mids and the treble, all are *balanced* tho yes, I am not an Audiophile, but being a layman, I had to make some changes in the Equalizer in the Dolby settings of my OnePlus 7 device. Otherwise also there is a dedicated Equaliser, with 4 inbuilt settings and a Few Customisable ones, which are given in the Bluetooth settings /app of Oneplus Z2, Tho I didn't tamper with that. ( _Having 2 equalisers doing the same kind of stuff differently would render the entire excercise useless._ ) My usage is primarily Netflix, Prime Videos, RUclips and a little bit of RUclips music and Jio Saavn, apart from calls when I am driving. *VOLUME:* *On all the above video apps and music apps the volume is sufficient enough at around 50 to 55%...* In fact during the night when I am lying in the bed and watching a movie on Netflix it is even slightly below 50%. Amazon Prime volume has to be kept around 60-70 % which is an Amazon Videos issue... *Regarding the sound and Clarity..ITS SIMPLY AMAZING..* *BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT BASS:* Truthfully the True Deep Bass is *felt* ( and Not just heard) somewhere inside a space in my head which is the good thing and it is not at all hurting... Nor does it cause headache. *Voice Calls:* Most of the time I have asked the question from the person at the other end during a phone call and *he is not able to make out if I am on the regular phone or using earbuds, earphones, Tws.* This clearly means that the 3 + 3 microphones are doing a wonderful job. *ENC:* When I am using a hair dryer and making a call, the person on the other and has never complained... and let me remind you that *environmental noise cancellation is automatic* and no button needs to be activated during a voice call. *BATTERY:* On the battery front, OnePlus Buds Z2, I have done 2-3 tests, (the same as well as Oppo Enco Air2 Pro also) and this gave a flat 1 hour extra than Oppo... which is 7 hours+ of playback at a volume of around 50% to 60%. Oppo had given me 6+ hrs. *HISSING?? NOT AT ALL !!:* Coming to the issue of the *hissing sound* of the noise cancellation which *PAUL SIR* had faced truthfully *I did not face any such issue* but then I have never opted for *noise cancellation* much, because somewhere it interferes in the frequency of the music and the movies and I want my sound to be absolutely unaltered. I have kept all *touch controls* , transparency and noise cancellation OFF
Hi Paul, I bought this tws after seen your review but I have faced one problem when travelling in the bus, whenever there is wind or vibration on pothole, I am facing distortion in music and it is noticeable.
Hi MD, Mushthaque has got it spot on. This is the ANC trying to keep out noises. It happens on higher end sets as well when there is a loud noise. It gives a sense of clipping. Turning it off will avoid this from happening but you'll be minus the ANC ofcourse. Your music shouldn't distort after switching it off.
Hi paul, Could you recommend me with the better ones among this vs Sony wf c500? My requirements are good battery life, longevity of product and quality of music.
Hi Karthik. Sadly I haven't had a chance to do an indepth review of the C500 but I remember really liking the way it sounded during a first impressions review. I think these two on a sound front would be a very close comparison in terms of over all delivery, perhaps the JBLs may have better imaging. Battery life wise the JBL should give you more hours of listening time and it also has touch controls on a feature front which the Sony doesn't have. In terms of longevity, I've heard both sets tend to give some issues. The JBL, one bud stops charging but can be rectified by a service center, I think it's just a clean up job and the C500, some folk have mentioned hearing a hissing sound. I've been enjoying the JBL and haven't had any issues with it yet.
Ouch !! I was double minded between *OnePlus Buds Z2* and these ones and just three hours ago I ordered OnePlus Z2 because of some offer on my Amazon account and something related to a credit card... Anyway I am not disappointed because I had loved your reviews on Oppo Enco air2 pro as well, which I have been using since 2-3 months now, and tho also aware of the hissing sound on your piece of OP Buds Z2...I still took a chance. So JBL took the second seat... BUT NEXT ON LIST IS THIS... NOW FOR WATCHING THE FULL VIDEO 👍👍👍 THANKS 🙏
I'd love to know how the Z2 treats you. Quite a few people have been disappointed because of the hissing issue. I hope yours works well. As always, thank you for your support Jeasbe 😊
@@The_unsung Haha. Valid Reason. Oppo enco air2 pro owner is Wifey... And tho its a better value for money than OnePlus buds Z2... truly... I feel OnePlus Z2 more comfortable under the turban. Its basically a *SINGH-THING* as well. I would suggest you go for OPPO
Hey Paul I’ve always liked thy Reviews!I hope these are Comfortable 😅 I have Oppo Enco Air 2 Pro but I find them a little uncomfortable. May be its due to me being used to IEMs like Moondrop Chu or KZ ZSN Pro X. But may be I’ll buy these for comfort only 😅
These aren't as uncomfortable as the oppo but they are similar in fit for me. Both feel like the left earphone don't sit too well (note how the left earbud sits in my left ear during call demo). These do sit a bit better than the oppo for me and don't cause discomfort over longer session.
Ho Shyam, both are good sets to own. The JBL has a fuller sound and is richer in detail compared to the oppo. It does feel like an upgrade compared to it for sure. I found my ears to hurt a little with the Oppo though but not with the JBL despite it also being a large design. Feel free to give my indepth reviews or comparisons on the JBL a look. It should help you get a little more clarity about them.
I bought enco a2p which I lost just after 1 day of usage while in a travel. For the price I loved its sound signature. Fit is kind of okok not painful and not comfortable either. Box doesn't include optional size ear tips so It wasn't giving secure fit. But overall it was decent for me. Now I'm considering 230nc but most reviews are sponsored. The sound should be good. But there are quite a few complaints like earbuds stopped working , anc not working after repaired etc. Overall customer reviews wasn't great in online platforms. So i am in a confusion whether to go with jbl or oppo again
I've also had some people mention various issues they've had with the JBLs. I myself haven't faced any issues with my unit yet, but if you don't want any issues, I think the Oppo is a safe bet. I've reviewed a few units over the years and never had any of them give my problems. They're certainly value for money and tension free to own in my experience.
Hello brother i need a suggestion regarding choosing an TWS i will do exercises and running too and all other daytoday stuff that includes calling , listening music like that can you suggest me a best TWS under 6k
These JBLs should fit well in your activities. You also have the options of the OnePlus Buds Z2 and oppo enco air 2 Pro. I've tested these and quite like them too. Feel free to give my reviews on them a look.
If your priority is sound quality, the 230NC has better detail and a tighter bass delivery. The Z2 has a lot of body in th bass compared to the 230 but lacks detail. Loudness wise, the Z2 is one of the loudest sets of earphones I've tested so if you're into that, the Z2 will suit you. Functionality wise, since you have a OP phone, the Z2 should work more seamlessly with it than the JBL. You'll have to use the JBL app to operate some of its functions.
Music volume after a phone calls gets very slow & even at full volume , Have to disconnect Bluetooth & again connect the buds to hear at full sound Please Help...
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

Hi Paul..I have a completely different tangent of a question..How would these work if i connect it to my laptop(macbook pro to be honest).The app control is out of picture here.Will i still get ANC/ENC if iam connected to my laptop and taking a zoom call with a noisy background?
You can toggle between ANC modes from the earphones, you don't need the app for that, ENC engages automatically when the microphones are in use. One very strange thing with these earphones is, a lot of people haven't been able to use them with MS Teams specifically, so if you use that app, I'd stay clear of these.
buds z2 vs realme buds air 3 vs jbl 230nc vs jabra elite 4 active which has over good in sound and ANC. Because all the are between 4k to 5k when we apply bank offer I am bit confused 😕. Can u suggest..
I havent tested the Elite 4, but between the others, I'd choose the JBL for over all sound delivery. It doesn't do as well as the other two with ANC however.
Hi Matthias! I know just what you mean. I've got a feeling you'll appreciate the next product I'll be reviewing. Just got my hands on it today so I'll take a few days to get to know them. Hint: They're made in Germany 😊
My JBL 230 ANC is stuck in mono mode , tried resetting it but still the same , can you please tell me how to fix this issue only one earbud works at the time
I've had a few viewers have this issue. They mentioned having taken their units to the service center after which the problem was sorted out. Worthwhile going to the nearest service center.
I've had quite a few people mention this in the comments section. A small number of them have managed to get a replacement from JBL. Initially, for the same unit, after the same issue has cropped up, JBL has replaced their 230NC with another model with equal or higher value, but they've done this while their 230NC is under the one year warranty. My unit it past that, so I doubt I'll be able to get a replacement, but luckily, I haven't had that issue just yet
@@PaulsPOV i had my replacement in the 9th month 3 more to go, i asked the replacement guy what if this had happened after warranty period,he told me, they can’t do anything then, it’s upon you then,so yeah, even after spending around 5k they are selling a product with no assurance if it will work that good for a longer time
The OPPO is better for long term use, the 230NC has been known to have some charging issues in some cases. Consider the Tune Beam if that's within your budget. It's more fun sounding than the oppo.
I've tested the Oppo enco air 2 pro and these JBL 230 NC and prefer the JBL. They have a fuller sound to them while the oppo can feel like they're not being amped too well. Detail is also better with these JBLs.
@@PaulsPOV hi Paul, if we compare for calls between these, I saw your review and both seemed similar. Which would you recommend between these just for calls purpose?
Between the JBL 230NC and Oppo Enco Air 2 Pro? The JBL seems to carry my voice a little more naturally over. Have you seen the 6TWS comparison? Both voice demos are there in the call quality chapter, you can try doing a back to back listen by jumping between the two audio samples to see which one you prefer.
The most comfortable ones I've used lately are the Nothing Ear 1 and the LG FP5. No discomfort or pain over longer listening sessions. Feel free to give those reviews a look.
I have also experienced that even if the buds are plased inside the case, still it is connected to phone. Then i have to place it again and again untill the light blinks, then only it will gets disconnected with phone. Does anyone faced these type of issue please do reply. ❗❗❗❗
From my experience, driver size doesn't equal better or bigger sound necessarily. I quite like the 230nc. Feel free to watch my in depth review on it. Give the LG FP5 review a watch as well. Terrific sounding set of earphones.
Sound wise, it's fuller and better detailed than the 230NC for sure. For a call demo, feel free to listen to both demos on this video. ruclips.net/video/02oj56RyONs/видео.html It should give you a better idea of how they manage in a similar environment. I hope this helps.
It's unlikely that I'll be able to do a comparison on multiple IEMs but I have put out a web series of the best ones available for under Rs.2500. I think you've seen them already. I have also reviewed the Salnotes Zero recently.
@@PaulsPOV ya i have seen every iem video but it is good and much more easy if anyone is trying to be in these Hobie . For example i have suggested your channel to my friend for an iem he want's to buy and come into the audio world as he is new he doesn't know what is bass and mid bass etc. So for those type people means starters it is easy to have an word(video) these iem is best under 2k. I think you got my point
A few people have mentioned this happening with their 230NC. They've usually gone to a service center where the contact points have been cleaned, after which it works. Try cleaning them. The earbuds charging points might not be contacting with the case point.
A ear swab with some isopropyl alcohol should do a good enough job. Avoid putting too much. You don't want to drown the points. Cleaning the points in the case and on the earphones should do the trick.
Hi Paul, i bought these around at the same time of your first video. Overtime I'm facing the issue where the right side bud will not disconnect from the phone even when they're put in to the case and to fix it, i had to remove and put it back few times. I've cleaned the gold colour contact if they've accumulated dust, then it went well for few days and again the same issue. Also faced with left bud only once, but many times with right bud. It only happens few times in a week, that's holding me from taking them to service centre because I ain't sure if I can show them the issue when I visit there. Did you face anything like this..? I waited on the whole video if you'd mention this issue 😂.
Hi Bevan, I havent faced this issue but I've had a few folk mention this very problem with their earphones. In their case they've taken their units to a service center to get it seen to. I dont know what they do at the service center but they seem to know how to sort it out. It might make sense to wait for earphones to show the symptom again before you go.
Good point about fast charging the case. My concern is we have no control of how fast the case charges the buds themselves. Fast charging is just built in for many brands. Do you think this matters or no?
I dont know for certain whether the buds themselves have fast charging. It's not something manufacturers let us know really, but considering they're small cells, they're bound to charge up quicker than the larger battery in the case. Sadly, there is no way to control that aspect of charging with the case. Ideally, a slow charge would increase the chances of prolonged battery life in the long run.
@@PaulsPOV I'm thinking this '5 minutes give you 2 hours' or similar text you often see advertised was basically internal fast charging of the buds. Not all of them have this capability listed and I do notice those that do charge up faster than those that don't. Among those I've collected anyway. It's actually kind of alarming how fast some charge back up lol
Very informative video, there is just one question I can't seem to jet answered is when you first unbox these ear buds how long does it take to fully charge the case and the buds ,and when you charge the case should the bus be in the case while charging or out of the case ?, some of us out here are old school and not good with technical features and operations of them, some might think its a stupid question but too some it's a serious one?
It's a very valid question. I mention battery details about this set in my indepth review on them. If the case and earphones batteries are completely flat and you plug them in to charge, a 10minute charge will give you a total of a 2hr listening session. A full charge will give you 40Hrs with the case with the active noise canceling off. 33Hrs with the active noise canceling on. The earphones alone on a full charge should give you 9Hrs with the ANC off and 7Hrs with the ANC on. You should be able to achieve this amount of listening time provides you listen to audio at 50%. If you listen to it any higher, expect lower numbers. The buds can be in the case while charging or not, it's upto you. They receive their power from the case so if you do find yourself in a situation where you need to use the earphones but the case is on low battery, you can plug the case in to charge while using the earphones. There's no hard and fast rule about leaving the buds in the case while the case charges. Straight out of the box, these usually sit anywhere between 30% to 60%. It's possible to get them at 0% as well. Hope this helps you John.

A few people have mentioned that this is a 230NC issue. A lot of service centers have just cleaned the connectors and sent people back with the same unit working, but it's only a temporary fix. It's worthwhile getting a replacement unit or even a different model since it seems the number of people having this issue is growing.
please, if you can help me, I have a connection problem, I lose the bluetooth signal on my headphones very often, especially when I walk outside, usually when I listen to music while sitting at home, I don't have such frequent signal losses, but they still are.. ...I tried resets, all the stuff and nothing :( , does anyone else have the same problem? buds: jbl tune 230 phone: samsung s8 please help me :((
If resets haven't solved your issues, it's worthwhile connecting with JBLs customer care. They'll be able to help you. Your device is covered under a one year warranty which they should honor.
@@PaulsPOV yes they are nice but the anc on this are too low. I was using a realme bud 2 wireless neckband that has better anc, and again the gusture control is a little bit of mess. And one thing to note this earphone are not loud enough when i put then out of case but after using then for an hour or half they don't feel loud enough. And sometimes I found that when i put them back in the case the right side don't shut down. Idk if there is some bug or what. And we should not charge them with our mobile fastchargers. It tends to heat up then buds and i have replaced then also, (reason: the right side was dead. ) But now i am using a normal adaptor and things are fine. But honestly this are a great pair of earphone
I've never experimented with ear tips like this but if you do, let me know how it works out. With IEMs I've tried rubber, silicon, medical grade tips. These should ideally work on TWS earphones too, but I'm not 100% certain about it.
@@PaulsPOV bro i don't have a single pair of tws let alone to experiment with then plz try it for me and tell how's the results because in half ear design tws we get larger driver's size with less cost so wanted to know if it is possible to attach rubber ear tips to them
Indepth review - ruclips.net/video/dDSfIFTkRkc/видео.html Why you should avoid - ruclips.net/video/ah58UO7bTqs/видео.html Read through the comment section on the later video. A lot of people have been facing the same issue even after they replaced their units.
The buds has the best feature to stay connected with your phone even though you case them. I bought a JBL 230 NC and using them is nightmare. One should be lucky enough to get the buds to disconnect, as if it is in deep love with your phone. Terrible experience. Yes it has a 40 hours battery life. But the case won't initiate charging cz it won't accept the fact that you cased it. ANC is Okey, but it completely shuts down when you make a call making an outdoor call terrible. During a call mic picks every single noise except your voice. Though the sound quality is good it is totally worthless as of my 3 months used experience.

Hey paul what should I choose between JBL 230 nc vs oppo enco air 2 pro, both of these tws i am getting at 3500₹
I've heard of some 230NC units giving problems, so I'd recommend the oppo over it. It's a better long-term device since I haven't heard of issues since its launch.
@@PaulsPOV thanks a lot Paul
Please sir i want to buy jbl what should i choose - jbl 235nc TWS or beam in ear TWS?
I haven't tested the 235NC yet but would highly recommend the Tune Beam. It's very fun sounding, and I do prefer it over the 230NC.
@@PaulsPOV thanks for your reply...if it possible then make a comparison video 235nc vs beam
Please review the oppp enco x2
Loved your review and bought jbl 230nc , 5:11 in latency test you mentioned that video mode makes no difference in latency. I thing you are using an older device without BT 5.2 support. I was too sure that i wont be able to game with these but thats not the case ,as soon as i turned video mode latency drastically reduced, it’s reduced to such low lvl that all videos are now almost perfectly lip synced. No issues in gaming either. I am using ipad pro m1 and 1+ 10R
Hey Paul, First of all loved your unbiased review. Please keep up the good work.
I Need your help in selecting the earbuds.
I'm a sound engineer and Audiophile myself and want to invest in good pairs of TWS within 5-6k.
I'm fan of flatter sound with little presence boosted for acoustic sepration. I was using 1+ bullet Z2 but really didn't liked it that much. So little fuzzy about buds Z2.
Liked 230NC but Lag is pulling me over from it. I've used JBL before and I like it sound but that's the only issue I mentioned.
I'm currently confused in both now and don't mind trying wireless IEM also or anything you suggest.
If Buds Z2 is not very muddy amd boomy I may consider it. Pls suggest.
The Buds Z2 on its Bold EQ setting to me is more neutral than its default setting. I prefer it since it's not bass heavy.
I know what you're saying about the JBL. Its lag is quite bad. Consider the Tangzu Wan'er with a BT module if it's detail recovery and separation you want. They're a good set without over exaggerated highs and lows.
@@PaulsPOV Thankyou so much for the response. I am going for Z2 right now and will update you with my experience.
@@_abhinavprajapati How's Z2? Can u plzz share your user experience
@@incognitobackup2332 I just received my z2. After using it for about 48 hours I didn't found any noise issue in particular. Yes, The low end is kinda muddy a bit and there it would be great if presence Freq. would be boosted at about 2 dB there. But its me. I think about 90% would not mind these thing. You can go for it definitely.
One thing I really didn't liked about it is HeyMelody do not show case battery percentage.
@@_abhinavprajapati What about battery backup? How much time will you get the battery with and without the case?

Hi Paul, amazing review. Please make a video on Equaliser settings like how to manually adjust according to genres
1 year later for me
the battery has fully died
it doesn't even last 15 mins now
and it went down very immediately not even slow degredation
in the first 8 months i noticed no appreciable battery capacity degradation.
I bought these 2 months ago , after one month, right earbud stopped working and I got it replaced .
But after the replacement the anc is not working as good as it used to .
Just sharing my experience about these earbuds .
Bro!! Same issue! My right side is not charging! How to claim warrenty and how they processes the return?
may be you bought from E commerce site...they usually sells faulty products prefer always official site.
@@deepakanand7740 You need to visit nearby service centre with invoice , they will get your details will ship to the company's head office and you will get new earbuds within 5-7 days at your address.
@@gsk945 no , it's not that I bought it from jbl's official site.
But still earbuds stopped working after few days.
@@gsk945Nope, they have some manufacturing issues, i had 2 sets of these, last year the right earbud went really quiet even at max volume you could barely hwar anything, this year with the other set the left earbud is not charging most of the time, or goes down from 80 to 10 % battery within minutes
I have these for like 6 months now and now one has a reduced volume, any suggestion?
And also the max volume is very low, i don't know if it has always been or overtime it reduced..
Waiting for your response..
That's very odd. To begin with, try this....reduce volume from your phone to the lowest, then the same from the earphones volume, then increase from your phone and see. This has usually helped other people. There is sometimes a mismatch between phone and earphones amping... This usually sorts it out.
If this doesn't help, try doing a reset, and if even that doesn't help, a call to the JBL customer support should be able to figure out what's going on.
Thank you for an honest review
Hey Paul. I'm planning to buy jbl earbuds. So which one is better according to you. Is it JBL 230NC or JBL Tune Flex?
Sadly, I haven't tested the Flex, so I wouldn't want to give you any wrong information.
Great video as always. Will you order the JBL Tune Flex soon?
I havent planned on it yet but considering I've gotten so many requests about it, I'm considering putting up a community poll to help me make a decision on them.
The earbuds worked fine for the first few months, but within nine months of purchase, the left earbud stopped working completely. It did not produce any sound or connect to my phone.
I visited customer service center twice for the same issue, but I did not get any proper resolution or assistance. I was given vague and unsatisfactory answers saying that cleaning the earbuds with a toothpick or tweezers would solve the issue. When I asked if this was the suggestion given in the manual and whether I would not be held liable for any damage to the product caused due to this, for which the service center told me that I need to keep on visiting them if there is any issue and they can only clean the earbuds and give them back to me and there is no other alternative.
Wow, JBL ear buds are amazing, and the service offered is fabulous and the explanation given by the service center technician is just out of the world. I just love going to the customer center every other day to get them cleaned. It's like having a car that needs constant oil changes instead of earphones.
This sounds quite unethical to me. If their "cleaning" isn't a proper resolve, they should replace the product since it's under warranty. Consider writing to someone in customer care or higher up. The folk at the service centers don't have much authority with replacements unless given the go-ahead from higher up.
Did you buy your unit when it was first launched? A few people have written in the comments about this issue, and it seems to me like the first batch has this very problem.
Even a company like OnePlus does replacements, one would expect nothing less from JBL.
@@PaulsPOV Thanks for the response. I have written to them and waiting for their response. I hope they consider replacement.
How reliable are these buds? I've heard the JBL 230NC have the same issue as Realme buds air 2 & 3 where one of the buds stops working completely after a few months of use
I've had some people write in telling me about this very issue. Apparently, it's resolved after a cleaning of the point on the buds. Dirt doesn't allow it to charge up, so it doesn't respond. A simple clean up is what's being done at the service centers and sent back after it shows that it's charging up.
It can be a hassle for certain, but if you keep them clean, it's worth the trouble considering how nice they sound.
As a previous owner of 230nc, I had to replace my unit thrice for the very same problem and I don't personally think it's a cleaning issue i think it's a design or manufacturing mistake. I used to keep all my units clean and frequently cleaned them.
Did JBL acknowledge it as being a manufacturing defect, and did they replace your units without any issues?
@@PaulsPOV JBL service centre employees themselves didn't have any clue and they just always gave me a new unit whenever I went with my defective unit. Also , all the times I visited the service centre I encountered many people who had the same issue as mine with their 230nc's as well.
Then this is definitely some sort of a manufacturing issue. Cleaning the unit will only be a temporary fix. I hope JBL addresses this issue more seriously than just cleaning people's units. The majority of people who have told me about this said that the service centers only did a clean-up and sent them back home with the same unit.
Here's hoping your unit doesn't give any more problems.
My priority is call quality and anc !
what should i choose jbl 230nc or nothing ear 1 ?
because nothing ear 1 cost almost 91 euros ?
i need your recommendation! i have watched your video comparison , but i need your prespective view ! let me know ! @paul
The Nothing seems to do a slightly better job at eliminating background noises compared to the 230NC, which you would have noticed in the comparisons in the call quality chapters. Something to keep in mind is that the Nothings can have a few glitches over time like many people have faced, where as the 230NC only has the bit of an issue when connecting to its app.
The 230 will also certainly give you longer call times compared to the Nothing.
@@PaulsPOV thanks Bro 🤍
Jbl 230NC Or Oneplus Z2 which one is better to buy
Hi Paul. I'm planning to shell out money to buy good tws especially for calling. I see the price for z2 and 230nc are almost similar now, so which would you term better as of now after updates. Should i opt among these or would you suggest some other tws?
I wouldn't reccomend the Z2. I had a hissing issue with them which a lot of people are still facing, even one or two times after being replaced for the same issue. OnePlus doesn't seem to be doing a call back for their defects.
Have a look at my 6TWS comparison, the call demo will give you a good idea of how well each of those buds do. The Nothings seem to handle noises the best but I'd leave you to decide which one will work best for you.
@@PaulsPOV I did check your 6 tws comparision video and felt JBL to be good based on it and considering budget of 5k. But I'm worried after just now going through the comments on this video about so many issues with JBL. For a person with a 10k phone, spending more than 5k doesn't seem sensible 😅
Yea some folk have had issues with their units, thankfully however I haven't faced any just yet. It's safe to say that JBLs after sales are good though. The few people ice interacted with who had issues seem to have had their problems resolved by the service center folk. Nice attitude compared to the folk at OnePlus.
@@PaulsPOV Thank you very much Paul for the entire time and effort you have given us. I wish you keep growing and success :)

So if the ANC goes off during the call what is the use of it at all , isn't the only reason ANC is present in any earbuds is for calls ?!?
Hi Sir,
I really like the way you review the audio quality test.👍
Could you please suggest whether I should buy One Plus Buds Pro or Nothing 1, both of these buds are available at an 8k price point.
Hi, I havent tested the OP Buds Pro so wouldn't want to give you any wrong information about them. I do prefer these JBLs over the Nothing Ear 1 but did test the LG FP5 which is also a terrific sounding set of earphones which I feel trumps both these earphones on a sound front. Feel free to give my review on it a look. I have briefly spoken about these three in a video with 6 TWS earphones.
Hope this helps.
@@PaulsPOV Thank you so much sir.
Can u plz make in depth review on One Plus Buds Pro.
I want the best buds for calling purpose .
I dont have any plans to review them presently.
Hey Paul, thanks for this review, I ordered these 15 days back and found the volume to be very low even at 100% both on iOS and Android is there a way to fix it.Thanks
When you use it next, reduce volume to 0 only using the earphones, NOT the phone. Then from the phone, reduce volume to minimum. After this increase the volume on the phone. This should work. It's happened to a few other people too. I usually don't go above 60% volume, it gets too loud for me.
Hey even I bought this 5 days back… but deeply distressed by its performance as when I am in call in my room the other side recipients felt vexed as they could hear the fan sound as well though the ANC feature is on. And moreover when I was on bike and speaking in call the recipients could not hear my voice. Though the product is eligible for return policy they are not accepting and when I try to return in Flipkart it shows like for device related issues go to the service provider. Right now I have given it in the service centre. Not sure the product quality is like that or it is my bad luck to receive the defective ones.
@@PaulsPOV Hey thanks for checking Paul, tried on my iPhone 13 didn’t work maybe I’m doing something wrong will try again in some android phone to see if this works
Hi Paul terrific video! But I'm confused between the 230nc and the 330nc flex. Which one would you recommend? I only care about the sound quality and clarity of music.
I havent tested the 330nc so wouldn't want to give you any wrong information.
@@PaulsPOV thanks for the reply but is there any chance you will test it in the future?
No plans to review them just yet.
I am confused between 130nc and 230nc which one is better??
Do not buy jbl 230nc, Sound like 50 rs wired earphone.
Is JBL live Pro + good for calling in outdoors or 230 NC is better? Which will be having good ANC and ENC?
I haven't tested the Live Pro, so I wouldn't want to give you any wrong information.
I will say sony n jbl is the pioner of the sound..no brand cant touch this two legendary sound..u cant buy the quality with the cheapest price ..but ,with the level of the price range wireless they still gave u the quality good sound..
Bro which is the best tws under rs 4000 ? Sound quality is the absolute priority for me.
Of the few I've reviewed I like the Realme Buds Air 3 and the Oppo enco air 2 pro. I have done a comparison between the two, feel free to give it a watch.
@@PaulsPOVwhich is the TWS with best mic n good ANC under 6k
I'm in the process of testing JBLs new Tune Beam and think it might be what you're looking for. Its price should come down for the upcoming Amazon sale, so it should fit within your budget.
@@PaulsPOV Ok. Thanks for ur recommendation.
@Paul's POV SIR Since a conversation is going on below, in comparison, I thought I should make a separate post on this.
Well now it has been almost a month that I have been using *OnePlus Buds Z2.*
After using Oppo Enco Air2 Pro I was not to sure if the sound of OnePlus Z2 would also be as good *but surprisingly it did not let me down.*
*SOUND:*
The Bass, Mids and the treble, all are *balanced* tho yes, I am not an Audiophile, but being a layman, I had to make some changes in the Equalizer in the Dolby settings of my OnePlus 7 device.
Otherwise also there is a dedicated Equaliser, with 4 inbuilt settings and a Few Customisable ones, which are given in the Bluetooth settings /app of Oneplus Z2, Tho I didn't tamper with that.
( _Having 2 equalisers doing the same kind of stuff differently would render the entire excercise useless._ )
My usage is primarily Netflix, Prime Videos, RUclips and a little bit of RUclips music and Jio Saavn, apart from calls when I am driving.
*VOLUME:*
*On all the above video apps and music apps the volume is sufficient enough at around 50 to 55%...*
In fact during the night when I am lying in the bed and watching a movie on Netflix it is even slightly below 50%.
Amazon Prime volume has to be kept around 60-70 % which is an Amazon Videos issue...
*Regarding the sound and Clarity..ITS SIMPLY AMAZING..*
*BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT BASS:*
Truthfully the True Deep Bass is *felt* ( and Not just heard) somewhere inside a space in my head which is the good thing and it is not at all hurting... Nor does it cause headache.
*Voice Calls:*
Most of the time I have asked the question from the person at the other end during a phone call and *he is not able to make out if I am on the regular phone or using earbuds, earphones, Tws.*
This clearly means that the 3 + 3 microphones are doing a wonderful job.
*ENC:*
When I am using a hair dryer and making a call, the person on the other and has never complained... and let me remind you that *environmental noise cancellation is automatic* and no button needs to be activated during a voice call.
*BATTERY:*
On the battery front, OnePlus Buds Z2, I have done 2-3 tests, (the same as well as Oppo Enco Air2 Pro also) and this gave a flat 1 hour extra than Oppo... which is 7 hours+ of playback at a volume of around 50% to 60%.
Oppo had given me 6+ hrs.
*HISSING?? NOT AT ALL !!:*
Coming to the issue of the *hissing sound* of the noise cancellation which *PAUL SIR* had faced truthfully *I did not face any such issue* but then I have never opted for *noise cancellation* much, because somewhere it interferes in the frequency of the music and the movies and I want my sound to be absolutely unaltered.
I have kept all *touch controls* , transparency and noise cancellation OFF
Is there any delay on the sound when you watch youtube videos?
@@simongrankvist8892 NOT at All
@@jeasbeGurjeetSingh Great! thanks!
Hi Paul, I bought this tws after seen your review but I have faced one problem when travelling in the bus, whenever there is wind or vibration on pothole, I am facing distortion in music and it is noticeable.
I turn off ANC while traveling because of this issue
Hi MD, Mushthaque has got it spot on. This is the ANC trying to keep out noises. It happens on higher end sets as well when there is a loud noise. It gives a sense of clipping. Turning it off will avoid this from happening but you'll be minus the ANC ofcourse. Your music shouldn't distort after switching it off.
Hi paul, Could you recommend me with the better ones among this vs Sony wf c500? My requirements are good battery life, longevity of product and quality of music.
Hi Karthik. Sadly I haven't had a chance to do an indepth review of the C500 but I remember really liking the way it sounded during a first impressions review. I think these two on a sound front would be a very close comparison in terms of over all delivery, perhaps the JBLs may have better imaging.
Battery life wise the JBL should give you more hours of listening time and it also has touch controls on a feature front which the Sony doesn't have.
In terms of longevity, I've heard both sets tend to give some issues. The JBL, one bud stops charging but can be rectified by a service center, I think it's just a clean up job and the C500, some folk have mentioned hearing a hissing sound.
I've been enjoying the JBL and haven't had any issues with it yet.
If anc goes off during call than in which situation anc is used?
Ouch !! I was double minded between *OnePlus Buds Z2* and these ones and just three hours ago I ordered OnePlus Z2 because of some offer on my Amazon account and something related to a credit card...
Anyway I am not disappointed because I had loved your reviews on Oppo Enco air2 pro as well, which I have been using since 2-3 months now, and tho also aware of the hissing sound on your piece of OP Buds Z2...I still took a chance.
So JBL took the second seat... BUT NEXT ON LIST IS THIS...
NOW FOR WATCHING THE FULL VIDEO 👍👍👍
THANKS 🙏
I'd love to know how the Z2 treats you. Quite a few people have been disappointed because of the hissing issue. I hope yours works well. As always, thank you for your support Jeasbe 😊
Please tell your experience once it arrives
Hi brother.. how is the oppo enco air 2 pro... Could you please let me know the reason why you are going for z2 despite having the air 2 pro..

I would suggest you go for OPPO
Bro I want to buy this JBL can I buy this are not
Hey Paul I’ve always liked thy Reviews!I hope these are Comfortable 😅 I have Oppo Enco Air 2 Pro but I find them a little uncomfortable. May be its due to me being used to IEMs like Moondrop Chu or KZ ZSN Pro X. But may be I’ll buy these for comfort only 😅
These aren't as uncomfortable as the oppo but they are similar in fit for me. Both feel like the left earphone don't sit too well (note how the left earbud sits in my left ear during call demo). These do sit a bit better than the oppo for me and don't cause discomfort over longer session.

Why lip sync is not good??? My cheap boat tws doesnt have this problem
Do they have sibilance ? Biggest problem with Harman group
These are very good. Only issue is if you use large foam tips on them they won’t fit in the charging case!

Please suggest for calling and long battery
Hey Paul , I am currently using Oppo Enco Air 2 Pro and is it worth upgrading to 230NC ?
Ho Shyam, both are good sets to own. The JBL has a fuller sound and is richer in detail compared to the oppo. It does feel like an upgrade compared to it for sure. I found my ears to hurt a little with the Oppo though but not with the JBL despite it also being a large design. Feel free to give my indepth reviews or comparisons on the JBL a look. It should help you get a little more clarity about them.
I bought enco a2p which I lost just after 1 day of usage while in a travel. For the price I loved its sound signature. Fit is kind of okok not painful and not comfortable either. Box doesn't include optional size ear tips so It wasn't giving secure fit. But overall it was decent for me. Now I'm considering 230nc but most reviews are sponsored. The sound should be good. But there are quite a few complaints like earbuds stopped working , anc not working after repaired etc. Overall customer reviews wasn't great in online platforms. So i am in a confusion whether to go with jbl or oppo again
I've also had some people mention various issues they've had with the JBLs. I myself haven't faced any issues with my unit yet, but if you don't want any issues, I think the Oppo is a safe bet. I've reviewed a few units over the years and never had any of them give my problems. They're certainly value for money and tension free to own in my experience.
Hello brother i need a suggestion regarding choosing an TWS i will do exercises and running too and all other daytoday stuff that includes calling , listening music like that can you suggest me a best TWS under 6k
These JBLs should fit well in your activities. You also have the options of the OnePlus Buds Z2 and oppo enco air 2 Pro. I've tested these and quite like them too. Feel free to give my reviews on them a look.
Is this usable on pc? Because im planning on buying it and use it on my pc,
It works with computers, but if you use MS Teams, these have been known to not be compatible with that in particular.
I have OnePlus 11r so which would u recommend between jbl230 nc and OnePlus z2
If your priority is sound quality, the 230NC has better detail and a tighter bass delivery. The Z2 has a lot of body in th bass compared to the 230 but lacks detail. Loudness wise, the Z2 is one of the loudest sets of earphones I've tested so if you're into that, the Z2 will suit you.
Functionality wise, since you have a OP phone, the Z2 should work more seamlessly with it than the JBL. You'll have to use the JBL app to operate some of its functions.
Can you please review the JBL LIVE PRO 2 as well because I am planning to buy those
Music volume after a phone calls gets very slow & even at full volume , Have to disconnect Bluetooth & again connect the buds to hear at full sound

Hi Paul..I have a completely different tangent of a question..How would these work if i connect it to my laptop(macbook pro to be honest).The app control is out of picture here.Will i still get ANC/ENC if iam connected to my laptop and taking a zoom call with a noisy background?
You can toggle between ANC modes from the earphones, you don't need the app for that, ENC engages automatically when the microphones are in use.
One very strange thing with these earphones is, a lot of people haven't been able to use them with MS Teams specifically, so if you use that app, I'd stay clear of these.

I've had a few viewers have this issue. They mentioned having taken their units to the service center after which the problem was sorted out. Worthwhile going to the nearest service center.
6 months more and your left earbud will stop working, i have been there 😂
I've had quite a few people mention this in the comments section. A small number of them have managed to get a replacement from JBL. Initially, for the same unit, after the same issue has cropped up, JBL has replaced their 230NC with another model with equal or higher value, but they've done this while their 230NC is under the one year warranty. My unit it past that, so I doubt I'll be able to get a replacement, but luckily, I haven't had that issue just yet
@@PaulsPOV i had my replacement in the 9th month 3 more to go, i asked the replacement guy what if this had happened after warranty period,he told me, they can’t do anything then, it’s upon you then,so yeah, even after spending around 5k they are selling a product with no assurance if it will work that good for a longer time

Hello sir, this or oppo air 2 pro sir?
The OPPO is better for long term use, the 230NC has been known to have some charging issues in some cases. Consider the Tune Beam if that's within your budget. It's more fun sounding than the oppo.

I've tested the Oppo enco air 2 pro and these JBL 230 NC and prefer the JBL. They have a fuller sound to them while the oppo can feel like they're not being amped too well. Detail is also better with these JBLs.
@@PaulsPOV hi Paul, if we compare for calls between these, I saw your review and both seemed similar. Which would you recommend between these just for calls purpose?

The JBL seems to carry my voice a little more naturally over. Have you seen the 6TWS comparison? Both voice demos are there in the call quality chapter, you can try doing a back to back listen by jumping between the two audio samples to see which one you prefer.
Anc during calls won’t turn off if voice aware is disabled.

The most comfortable ones I've used lately are the Nothing Ear 1 and the LG FP5. No discomfort or pain over longer listening sessions. Feel free to give those reviews a look.
I have also experienced that even if the buds are plased inside the case, still it is connected to phone. Then i have to place it again and again untill the light blinks, then only it will gets disconnected with phone.
Does anyone faced these type of issue please do reply. ❗❗❗❗
Yes I have same problem
Connection error in right side..
Does that problem solved?
No still having same issue.. Don't know what to do
Jbl 230 nc or galaxy buds 2 as both are around 6k now
Jbl tune flex or jbl tune 230 nc which is best to buy now? Please reply
I haven't tested the Flex yet, so I wouldn't want to give you any wrong information.
@@PaulsPOV thanks for the reply
@@PaulsPOV flex have 12mm drivers and 6mm driver comes with jbl tune 230 nc.
What about the audio/bass experience of jbl tune 230 nc?
From my experience, driver size doesn't equal better or bigger sound necessarily. I quite like the 230nc. Feel free to watch my in depth review on it. Give the LG FP5 review a watch as well. Terrific sounding set of earphones.
@@PaulsPOV thanks for your honest review and fastest reply 💥
can you suggest a good tws (inear) instead of nothing ear (1) as it is unavailable currently..😅
If sound is your priority, of the few I've tested, I quite like the LG FP5. Terrific value for money.
@@PaulsPOV Is it better than jbl 230 nc? The call quality seemed better in your review..Anyway your reviews are great. thanks⚡
Sound wise, it's fuller and better detailed than the 230NC for sure.
For a call demo, feel free to listen to both demos on this video.

JBL 230NC or OnePlus buds Z2 ?
Which one did you buy

@@gokultnair4468 how are they working
hey please make a video on best iems under 2000
It's unlikely that I'll be able to do a comparison on multiple IEMs but I have put out a web series of the best ones available for under Rs.2500. I think you've seen them already. I have also reviewed the Salnotes Zero recently.
@@PaulsPOV ya i have seen every iem video but it is good and much more easy if anyone is trying to be in these Hobie . For example i have suggested your channel to my friend for an iem he want's to buy and come into the audio world as he is new he doesn't know what is bass and mid bass etc. So for those type people means starters it is easy to have an word(video) these iem is best under 2k. I think you got my point
See the reply comment it is useful for our channel growth
Right side bud isn’t working and it was unable to getting charge in the case.
Help me out from this
A few people have mentioned this happening with their 230NC. They've usually gone to a service center where the contact points have been cleaned, after which it works. Try cleaning them. The earbuds charging points might not be contacting with the case point.
How do I clean them ? The charging point I mean?@@PaulsPOV
A ear swab with some isopropyl alcohol should do a good enough job. Avoid putting too much. You don't want to drown the points. Cleaning the points in the case and on the earphones should do the trick.
Hi Paul, i bought these around at the same time of your first video. Overtime I'm facing the issue where the right side bud will not disconnect from the phone even when they're put in to the case and to fix it, i had to remove and put it back few times. I've cleaned the gold colour contact if they've accumulated dust, then it went well for few days and again the same issue.
Also faced with left bud only once, but many times with right bud.
It only happens few times in a week, that's holding me from taking them to service centre because I ain't sure if I can show them the issue when I visit there.
Did you face anything like this..?
I waited on the whole video if you'd mention this issue 😂.
Hi Bevan, I havent faced this issue but I've had a few folk mention this very problem with their earphones. In their case they've taken their units to a service center to get it seen to. I dont know what they do at the service center but they seem to know how to sort it out. It might make sense to wait for earphones to show the symptom again before you go.
@@PaulsPOV Okay, Thank you😊.
JBL EAR BUDS is not working properly in Iqoo Neo 6 while calling. Is there any solution for this?
Anyone have noticed it??
Sir can you please review
Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro
Thanx
Good point about fast charging the case. My concern is we have no control of how fast the case charges the buds themselves. Fast charging is just built in for many brands.
Do you think this matters or no?
I dont know for certain whether the buds themselves have fast charging. It's not something manufacturers let us know really, but considering they're small cells, they're bound to charge up quicker than the larger battery in the case.
Sadly, there is no way to control that aspect of charging with the case. Ideally, a slow charge would increase the chances of prolonged battery life in the long run.
@@PaulsPOV I'm thinking this '5 minutes give you 2 hours' or similar text you often see advertised was basically internal fast charging of the buds.
Not all of them have this capability listed and I do notice those that do charge up faster than those that don't. Among those I've collected anyway. It's actually kind of alarming how fast some charge back up lol
Very informative video, there is just one question I can't seem to jet answered is when you first unbox these ear buds how long does it take to fully charge the case and the buds ,and when you charge the case should the bus be in the case while charging or out of the case ?, some of us out here are old school and not good with technical features and operations of them, some might think its a stupid question but too some it's a serious one?
It's a very valid question. I mention battery details about this set in my indepth review on them. If the case and earphones batteries are completely flat and you plug them in to charge, a 10minute charge will give you a total of a 2hr listening session.
A full charge will give you 40Hrs with the case with the active noise canceling off. 33Hrs with the active noise canceling on.
The earphones alone on a full charge should give you 9Hrs with the ANC off and 7Hrs with the ANC on. You should be able to achieve this amount of listening time provides you listen to audio at 50%. If you listen to it any higher, expect lower numbers.
The buds can be in the case while charging or not, it's upto you. They receive their power from the case so if you do find yourself in a situation where you need to use the earphones but the case is on low battery, you can plug the case in to charge while using the earphones. There's no hard and fast rule about leaving the buds in the case while the case charges.
Straight out of the box, these usually sit anywhere between 30% to 60%. It's possible to get them at 0% as well.
Hope this helps you John.

Please suggest me best earbuds for call only
I've done a comparison on 6 TWS earphones, have a look at it and the call chapter to see how each one fares and works best for you. I feel the Nothing Ear 1 seems to do the best in that comparison. Hope it helps.
Does it have Dolby Atmos support ?
No

How the customer support will be if there are any chances of defects & for replacement !
I got my foe my birthday but the right is not charging only the left work
A few people have mentioned that this is a 230NC issue. A lot of service centers have just cleaned the connectors and sent people back with the same unit working, but it's only a temporary fix. It's worthwhile getting a replacement unit or even a different model since it seems the number of people having this issue is growing.
Bro please make a review video on jbl live pro 2
please, if you can help me, I have a connection problem, I lose the bluetooth signal on my headphones very often, especially when I walk outside, usually when I listen to music while sitting at home, I don't have such frequent signal losses, but they still are.. ...I tried resets, all the stuff and nothing :( , does anyone else have the same problem? buds: jbl tune 230 phone: samsung s8 please help me :((
If resets haven't solved your issues, it's worthwhile connecting with JBLs customer care. They'll be able to help you. Your device is covered under a one year warranty which they should honor.
Bro i saw your review and on same night i brought 230nc. Just a thanks for the detailed review
How do you like them so far?
@@PaulsPOV yes they are nice but the anc on this are too low. I was using a realme bud 2 wireless neckband that has better anc, and again the gusture control is a little bit of mess. And one thing to note this earphone are not loud enough when i put then out of case but after using then for an hour or half they don't feel loud enough.
And sometimes I found that when i put them back in the case the right side don't shut down. Idk if there is some bug or what.
And we should not charge them with our mobile fastchargers. It tends to heat up then buds and i have replaced then also, (reason: the right side was dead. ) But now i am using a normal adaptor and things are fine.
But honestly this are a great pair of earphone
Thanks for sharing. I'm sure your little review will help others who pass by here too.
Anc is not good. When compared to OnePlus buds z2
Sir my main purpose to buy a TWS is just for calling while riding my two wheeler so can you suggest any good TWS for me in price range Aprx 3k to 5k
Go for neckband
Bro how can I put rubber tips on half ear design tws other then tgis
I've never experimented with ear tips like this but if you do, let me know how it works out. With IEMs I've tried rubber, silicon, medical grade tips. These should ideally work on TWS earphones too, but I'm not 100% certain about it.
@@PaulsPOV bro i don't have a single pair of tws let alone to experiment with then plz try it for me and tell how's the results because in half ear design tws we get larger driver's size with less cost so wanted to know if it is possible to attach rubber ear tips to them

JBL 230 nc vs tune flex comperison
Bro some times the sound were missing
my jbl 230 dsnt has ENC
The buds has the best feature to stay connected with your phone even though you case them. I bought a JBL 230 NC and using them is nightmare.
One should be lucky enough to get the buds to disconnect, as if it is in deep love with your phone. Terrible experience. Yes it has a 40 hours battery life. But the case won't initiate charging cz it won't accept the fact that you cased it. ANC is Okey, but it completely shuts down when you make a call making an outdoor call terrible. During a call mic picks every single noise except your voice. Though the sound quality is good it is totally worthless as of my 3 months used experience.
I just Disconnect them from your phone or slam the case again. Mine gets use to not doing it when I close the case or Disconnect.
you can turn them off from the app
hey please reply me if you remember me
Of course I remember you! Did I miss a question from you earlier?
@@PaulsPOV no i just changed my name and profile pic that's the reason nothing more.
