The JBL Tune 230NC headphones are aimed at those looking for wireless headphones with noise cancellation at an affordable price. They are suitable for listening to music, podcasts, movies, and calls, as they provide good sound quality and ambient noise reduction. Additionally, they are lightweight and comfortable for use throughout the day, and their battery offers up to 7 hours of continuous music playback.
Active Noise Canceling with Smart Ambient
Listen more to what you want and less to what you don't. The JBL Tune 230NC TWS Black will impress you with its noise canceling technology that eliminates distractions, as well as the Ambient Aware feature that allows you to control the sounds around you with the press of a button or through the JBL app. With Ambient Aware, you can tune into your surroundings at any time, so you feel safer when you're out in the world, while TalkThru allows you to pause for a quick conversation without having to remove your headphones.
4 microphones for perfect voice calls
Four built-in microphones block out ambient noise, allowing you to make or receive calls almost anywhere, while also ensuring that your voice is heard clearly on the other end.
Charging Case for All-Day Power
With just one charge, the JBL Tune 230NC wireless earbuds can offer up to 10 hours of battery life, while another 30 hours are available in the included charging case. Simply place the earbuds inside and close the lid to automatically start the recharging process. If you have active noise cancellation enabled, the battery life is lower but still significant, with up to 8 hours on the earbuds and up to 24 hours in the case. Need a quick charge? 10 minutes of charging is enough to enjoy 2 hours of listening.

Extremely good headphones and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of wireless headphones at a relatively good price. I have had them for about a month and with moderate use, I have charged them twice. The sound is excellent with complete noise isolation without having to activate the external sound cancellation, they fit very well in the ear. I definitely recommend them
I have had these for 6+ months now. They are not for talking on the phone when you are on the road or in a place with even the slightest noise, even the light breeze is annoying for the person you are talking to, even the air from the car's air conditioning. They also cut off and make you sound like a robot when you drive over potholes or dirt roads with the car. In short, if you just want to listen to decent sound for music (nothing special), then yes. They are not good for anything else.
Unfortunately the same as most others. When I first bought them, they were the best headphones I have ever purchased, although I had complaints that the microphone picked up too many external sounds from my family.
11 months later, the left earbud lasts less than the right one (Even though I mainly used the right one for all 11 months) and also, it is a struggle to connect the left earbud to the phone when I open the case, and then it doesn't disconnect from the phone at all to charge in the case. And now lately the left earbud stops charging inside the case and connects to the phone even though it is sitting inside the case and was charging.
2 stars because for the first 8 months or so, they were the best headphones I have ever used in my life.
The same problems as others. While at first I would forget to charge them, now (~1.5 years later) they need charging twice a day. The usage is mainly 40 minutes in the morning and 40 in the afternoon on the way to/from work. The left one had some disconnections in the summer. Plugging and unplugging, opening and closing would fix it. Now it's September and the left one holds a maximum of 5 minutes battery from 100%. I put it back in the case for 5 minutes, it charges to 40%, 5 minutes later it's back to 0. They have never been dropped or mistreated. The sound could be a bit louder, but it's quality. During calls, they hear the environment more than you. I've been complained to that they could hear the train brakes while I was at the station. Like reverse noise cancellation. 2 stars. 1 for the large battery at first, and 1 for the good sound. Not worth more.
the positives of ...great battery life and amazing bass and sound. the negatives started to break down in the 1st year, one of the two earbuds wouldn't charge, and eventually, one earbud fell a few times and broke the plastic and rendered it useless. secondly, it is bulky in the ear
The main problem about these jbl earphones is that they do not provide noise canceling setting for calls, so there is not filter out of the background noises for pristine, crystal-clear communication. It is very annoying for the person you talk to, beacause you're heard clearly and they can here the background noises pretty loud instead.
Regarding listening to music the sound is satisfying. Moreover after a year of casual use, one of the earphones stopped charging. I searched and found a few suggestions that worked for other users who had the same problem, but didint work for me.
The left earphone shows fully charged, and after 10 minutes of use, it starts giving low battery warnings and eventually shuts down really fast!!
I regret buying these pair of earphones and don't recommend to anyone buying this product! Total waste of 80 euros for a branded product.
I bought them on Dec. 22. After almost 9 months of daily use, mainly of the left earphone, the right one started to discharge quickly, after 5 minutes of taking it out of its case. Up until today, I exclusively use the left one, which works like new, while the right one goes from 100% to 20% in 2 minutes and disconnects from Bluetooth. I bought them for 75 euros, they are not worth more.
For their price, they are good, good sound quality. Usually, they don't turn off when you close the lid, and usually they don't charge, you have to make sure that the white light on the headset turns on to have a good chance. 9/10 times I close them from the app to be sure. The battery lasts them 5-6 hours at 80% volume. After a year, the left one lost a lot of its volume.
Great sound and bass, however the microphone during calls is not as strong as it should be. The active noise cancellation is perfect. The only problem I had with this pair is that it lasted barely 2 years as the left earphone stopped working.
I use them daily at work, for calls and at the gym for music since November 2022 and they haven't had any issues at all. The quality is excellent, as well as their battery life. Obviously you can find better headphones on the market, but not at this price!
Coming from Powerbeats Pro (very expensive), the JBL ones are by far better in every aspect.
17/04: Damn the moment I wrote this review...since then they started to break down...they don't connect, they don't charge...
After a month of casual use, one of the earphones stopped charging. I searched and found some makeshift solutions that other users who had the same problem suggested online, but they only worked for a few days.
The left earphone continues to never fully charge, and after 10 minutes of use, it starts giving low battery warnings and eventually shuts down.
The most wasted money I have ever spent, especially on a branded product.
The store replaced my first pair because one earphone was not connecting.
The second pair had the same issue. Not worth it.
Average Noise Cancellation.
The sound is not particularly loud and in outdoor spaces, neither the bass nor the conversation can be heard well. You cannot make calls on public transportation.
The worst part is that after 6 months of frequent use, the battery gave up and now I can't make a call for even 10 minutes. I bought them for 100 euros and they are definitely not worth the money and certainly not durable.
The left earphone broke, I sent it for service and they gave me a new one, but after 8 months the same thing happened again... total disappointment and a waste of money... DO NOT BUY IT
One of the worst purchases Ive ever made. DO NOT buy it. See below mg reasoning.
Main points:
1. NOT loud enough
2. Active Noice Cancellation is non existent (in every environment e.g. at the gym, on an aeroplane, on a bus, anywhere I could need at least some noice cancellation it did NOT happen)
3. The left earphone started NOT working (after just about a year since I bought them), as such they are now obsolete (i.e. they were NOT worth the investment, I was planning to have them at LEAST 2 years)
4. The application is a joke, it doesnt have anything useful on it.
Do not go and buy them. This. The worst thing I have ever bought in headphones. They never make contact with each other. One charges only. If you are lucky and they both play, one will not have a battery. Stay away. One star only for the sound.
The reviews speak and warn you. It seems that the defects are quite frequent, all having the same problem. This shows a flaw in their production and it is not random.
Their sound is slightly better than the classic cheap ones with a cable, but that's about it. I thought they cost around 30 euros before I heard their price.
Today I tried ANC buds from another brand of the same price and it was what I expected at this price. Putting these two side by side, you can clearly see the difference. They felt like a different category. The price says nothing about the quality.
It's a shame for a company like JBL, these things happen, everyone makes mistakes but it is the consumer's responsibility to do research and avoid possible surprises.
Very good sound quality. You can adjust it through the application.
Very comfortable headphones fit perfectly, although a bit clumsy.
However, they are not worth their money, from the first month of purchase the left one had an issue and sometimes the right one as well. It does not make good contact with the charger and turns off, even though I could have had it charging for hours.
When there is background noise, the person you are talking to cannot hear you.
After 1 month of use, the right earphone did not turn off when closing the lid, it no longer charged, it was replaced and everything was fine. After 1 month, the same problem occurred again. It has good sound but useless software and construction, not worth it
Very nice headphones but in less than a year one of the earbuds disconnected. The bad thing is that there is no way to fix it and it needs to be replaced as a defective product. Luckily, the warranty is 2 years. I just started the replacement process through Skroutz and I will come back.
These headphones are an excellent choice for those seeking exceptional sound quality and comfort. Their sound quality is outstanding, offering clear and balanced reproduction of sounds at all levels. Additionally, their design ensures a comfortable fit, with additional shock protection for a greater sense of security.
Their durable construction material shows that they are designed for long-lasting durability, while the noise isolation is exceptional, allowing you to enjoy your music or phone conversations without interference from the environment.
Additional features such as touch control and automatic detection of removal provide a sense of innovation and comfort in everyday use. Finally, the long battery life ensures several hours of enjoyment before needing to recharge.
Overall, these headphones offer an exceptional listening experience with outstanding sound quality, comfort, and innovative features. It is an investment worth every minute!
Additionally, they helped me deal with my troublesome child. We, adults, had gone out for coffee, and this gentleman had ruined my life in high school, as he had learned that my mother had died and constantly mocked me. So, after 7 years and yesterday when we went out for coffee, he asked me about these headphones. I was expecting it and played a bass-boosted song for him, and with the excellent JBL fit, I increased the bass even more, causing him to go deaf. He started screaming, and I simply got up and left without even paying for my coffee. Last night, I slept like a baby.
Apart from that, excellent headphones. I gave them 4 stars because if your ear sweats, they slip excessively.
They have very good sound for their price, the big negative for me was that the left earbud does not charge enough, maybe it doesn't make good contact. While in the app it says that the left earbud has charged to 100% within 10 minutes, it drops to 10% and then turns off. They are not worth their price.
I bought them about 9 months ago, today I returned them to the store for a replacement because one of the two earphones stopped working, many times one of the two earphones wouldn't charge. The active noise cancellation was very good for me. In an office space, you could only hear very sudden loud sounds, like coughing. Not the chatter and noise from cars. However, after a while, my ear started to hurt a little there, so I had to take them off for a few minutes.
Also, the active noise cancellation only works when you're listening to music. It gets deactivated when you're talking on the phone.
It has good sound with excellent bass. The main problem is that the left earbud loses connection in the case and is not recognized by the Bluetooth from the first ten days of use. Unacceptable for JBL. It is going for replacement although I think it is a systematic defect of the product.
Regarding the sound, quite satisfied as it also has the application for sound processing. Unfortunately, the major drawback was the Bluetooth connection. Constant disconnections and even though I was in warranty, they gave me a new one, the same problem continued. Money wasted and it was enough.. I do not recommend it.
