Наушники — JBL TUNE ANC TWS

The Tune ANC TWS is a pair of JBL cable-free in-ear buds with ANC, listed by the Harman-owned brand under item number JBLTANCTWSBAM at a US price of USD 149.95. It belongs to the budget-oriented Tune series of JBL personal audio, and combines active noise cancelling, Smart Ambient modes, four microphones for calls, IPX4 protection and app control in a compact charging case.

Key specs that matter

One 10 mm dynamic driver is fitted per ear. JBL quotes a driver sensitivity of 103 dB at 1 kHz and 1 mW, a response range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and an impedance of 32 ohm. Earpiece weight is listed as 11.4 g and the charging case as 40.4 g. Battery life reaches 40 hours in total with ANC off - 10 hours in the buds plus 30 hours from the case - and with noise cancelling active it falls to 8 hours plus 24 hours. Speed Charge restores 2 hours of playtime from a ten-minute charge. The radio is Bluetooth 5.2 with A2DP V1.3, AVRCP V1.6 and HFP V1.7 profiles, working between 2.4 GHz and 2.4835 GHz with a transmitter power of 0 to 12 dBm.

Engineering and use context

The earbuds use what JBL calls the Dot design, a rounded shape that seals into the ear canal to hold the bud in place and block outside noise passively. Two of the microphones serve the ANC system, and the full set of four is used for stereo hands-free calls. Ambient Aware lets outside sound in for situational awareness, while TalkThru is intended for brief conversations with the buds still in. VoiceAware controls how much microphone signal is routed back into the ears, so the wearer can choose how much of their own voice to hear during a call. The IPX4 rating covers splashes and sweat, which makes the earbuds usable for workouts and rain. In the JBL Headphones app, owners can customise the listening settings, check the fit, locate lost earbuds and create what JBL calls a silence bubble. Voice assistant access and hands-free calling are built in. The box contains the earbuds, the case, a Type-C USB lead for charging, ear tips in three sizes, a quick start guide and warranty papers.

Pairing

Phones, tablets and computers with Bluetooth are the sources, and the app runs on the phone to handle the settings. Choosing the right one of the three supplied tip sizes matters, because the Dot shape relies on a snug seal in the ear canal.

Alternatives

The JBL Tune 230NC TWS is another true wireless Tune model with Active Noise Cancelling and Smart Ambient, also rated for up to 40 hours of total battery life.
