JBL Tune 230NC TWS, Active Noise Cancellation Earbuds with Mic, Massive 40 Hrs Playtime with Speed Charge, Adjustable EQ APP, 4Mics for Perfect Calls, Google Fast Pair, Bluetooth 5.2 (Blue)

I have been using these for almost a year now. Straight up lets do the pros & cons:Pros:1. Batter life - its insane. With ANC on it easily lasts for 8+ hours when listening to around 60-70% volume. Plus, the case has enough juice to charge up the buds 2-3 times.2. Soundstage - I know JBL is known for its heart thumping bass, these completely justify in that regard. However, what surprised me was the wide soundstage. I am not a hardcore audiophile but I would call myself an audio enthusiast. Instrument separation as well as vocals can be easily heard and identified over the deep bass. Yes, it requires some amount of tweaking the EQ from the default sound signature.3. App integration/Connectivity - I used these with an android device and currently with iOS. No integration & connectivity issues whatsoever. Pairing is a charm. Though I haven't used these much for taking calls and all, with the limited time I have, I had absolutely no issues. The 4 mics seem to work like a charm. Moreover, the JBL app has been finely crafted with whatever choices you need.4. Portability - Though the case with the sticks inside aren't featherlight (as expected with massive batteries), the sticks themselves are light enough for regular use.5. Noise Cancellation / Talk thru etc. - I generally turn on the NC when using outdoors and its decent. Not flagship level creating vacuum in your ears, but they do cut down background noise (specially low to mid tones) quite well. The talk thru feature isn't gimmicky at all as I was skeptical of initially.Cons:1. Multi-device connection - I wish JBL gave it a dual device connectivity since its a real pain putting the sticks in and out of the case and pair them with a different device than the one its regularly paired with.2. Fit - This is purely personal issue I would say, I tried multiple ear-tips but somehow the left stick seems to fall off during my running sessions. Maybe I haven't tried enough changing to different tips.3. The case locking mechanism seems to be a little flimsy compared to some of its rivals in this price range. However, I'm nitpicking here, the case and the sticks have taken quite bit of impact from my hand / pockets but held up pretty well till now. No signs of wear and tear I dare say.Overall, the JBL 230NC is a proper bang for your buck.

The media could not be loaded. Update: The right bud is facing issue it doesn't turn off even after in case. There are many who are facing this problem with right bud check google and youtube. DON'T BUY THESE EARPODS or you'll waste money.While researching for a good TWS with good ANC. I had two options. JBL 230NC and oneplus Z2. I opted for JBL as this is a brand built around sound and music.For a price tag of 5299, the sound was quite good. I like the sound good highs and lows, bass. You can customize it in the app. (Coming on the app later)The ANC worked very well. I commute alot in metro and traffic. It does a decent job of cutting off the audio, so you can hear your music without the sound of a child crying beside your seat.It also has aware mode and talk through mode also which is quite good. Aware mode disables ANC so you can hear the surrounding noise, good when you're walking beside a road or crossing it.Talk through mode also suppress the music playing and lets in extra noise from the outside. So it's making it easier to talk to someone without talking out your jbl tunes.But if there's wind then the mic let's in the wind sound to the point where you won't be able to listen anything else than the wind, making this feature useless.It should have a in-ear detection feature for this price.Coming to the app. Oh boy! Am I disappointed.I have a samsung galaxy s10 lite. The app is so so un optimized. It takes 10-15 sec to start the app and select my already paired tws. Even need to disconnect and connect bluetooth again.Then If i kill the app the tws starts behaving weird. It starts cutting off every 5 secs for like 2 secs. I start the app again and it fixes. Not always but not even that rarely.The range is so low that if you have one tws in your ear you cannot go to another room with the audio getting lagged every 5 seconds.The overall quantity of the product is not bad. Find my buds feature has helped me alot. I forget where my other bud is most of the time.The sound is pretty good.ANC is pretty good. Aware is good for safety.No call issues. Clear and crisp.The battery life is great. I charge my case after 3 days. Even though I listen to music for like 4-5 hours everyday.App equalizer can customize the sound according to your preferences.Only the app which is supposed to make it better tends to make me regret my decision of this purchase.

This is my long term review of the JBL headphones.In the start I loved the sound quality , the amazing mid and lows of the sound were just so natural. The fit us also amazing, don't feel their weight in ur ears hence you could eat term for long time... have had no issues wearing them to the gym as well...However after long time the sound volume does tend to go low.The main issue is the build quality of the case, after some time the ear buds don't disconnect once you keep them in the case. The Bluetooth connection does not close once you close the case. Also unless the Bluetooth connection closes, the buds don't charge.I got the issue during my warranty and got it replaced but then the same thing happened with the replacement case as well.Update:Once I went on their website they shared with me that you have to frequently wipe the connectors both on the case and the buds with rubbing alcohol.. and this resolved my issue..
