It can be tricky to find reliable Bluetooth earbuds that hit the right balance of affordability and quality (especially ones with ANC), but the JBL Tune Buds deliver. They’re currently the lowest price they’ve ever been, according to price-trackers, at $39.95 (originally $99.95), bringing the original price down 60%.
They’ve earned an “Excellent” rating from PCMag, which commends their decent noise cancellation, customizable EQ, and built-in Alexa, which are all the more impressive at a sub-$50 price point. The earbuds feature JBL’s classic bass-heavy sound, and with the customizable EQ in the companion app, you can further tweak the audio to your liking. The three pairs of silicone eartips the buds ship with also allow users to adjust fit and comfort.
While they can’t compare to top-tier noise cancellation from brands like Bose and Beats, they block outside noise fairly well and last up to 10 hours per charge (12 hours with ANC off). This gets boosted to up to 36 hours with the charging case, which makes up for its somewhat bulky silhouette. They support Bluetooth 5.3 and have 10mm dynamic drivers that deliver a powerful sound with plenty of bass. They’re slightly more durable than similar noise-cancelling buds thanks to an IP54 rating, which can withstand light rain and sweat.
If you’re looking for a pair of earbuds with modest noise cancellation, customizable and punchy sound, and long-lasting battery life for the price, the JBL Tune Buds are solid everyday earbuds that perform well and won’t break the bank—especially at the current 60% discount.
