JBL Tune 130NC True Wireless in Ear Earbuds Active Noise Cancellation (Upto 40dB) Adjust EQ for Extra Bass Massive 40Hrs Playtime Legendary Sound…

They are the best value for money in the market so far. Good sound quality, excellent user-friendly APP, and not bad for running or other sports. Noise canceling not great -> with wind is better to simply deactivate it.

I was happy with the purchase until… it also happened to me… left headset stopped charging -> No matter the battery level of the case or the times I tried to clean connections, it simply behaved as it wanted. (1,5 months of use).

I never give second chances (usually to humans) but here, I will make an exception -> I just ordered 2nd opportunity (fingers crossed). I will let you know the outcome, my fellow.

BR, D

Let’s talk about elephant in the room :
1) are they great, answer is : no.
2) are they good enough : maybe
3) but can they be made great doing some modifications : yes and no

Edited comment : (Given four stars earlier, reducing to 3 stars because I completed stopped using this as cons overshadowed the pros. It’s unbearable now.)

Note : I am audiophile, so sound quality is important too me.
I have been using this earphone for month now , so lets list pros and cons.

Pros :
1) these are best for music listening ,hear me out only for music listening.
2) Battery is really really great (10/10) it’s really really really really good.
3) build quality is good
4) app provided by JBL is really damn impressive
(This is where the 3rd point comes , where you can make them great by doing modification for voice).
5) it’s overall good sounding earphones
6) microphone quality is good.

Let’s talk about the
I am using for 1 month ,these cons will be good starting point for those who want to buy it.

Cons :
1) app sometimes don’t work , I have to put by buds back in my case and then take it out , reconnect to keep app working. ( Sometimes annoys me)

2) fit in ear : I am never satisfied with the fit in the ear there is always in back of my mind that they are going to fall but they don’t , but over time it actually really annoys I person to alway think that they are going to fall, bear in mind I am using for month ,it is not nice feeling to have that ear phone is always going to fall.

3) (only applicable when watching video)
lets talk about sound quality , I don’t know this is me only or not but I have used various earphones, neckbands and headphones in past but never faced this issue in the past . The issue is the loundness in vocals is really loud some times , what I mean to say is if I am watching some movie and somebody shouts it just becomes too loud(for me) I have earphones called : sony MDR – XB55AP, never faced this specific issue with them.

4) vocal sync/lips sync problem : at start of video it takes 1,2 secs to lip sync with the video which is really annoying sometimes. It happening all the time, when I start the video, when I pause and play the video when new episode starts . This is a problem.(as video continues it becames fine, there is no more lip sync , it’s only when video is started or paused and played again)

5) most of the problem with this earphone is with watching the videos : lip sync issue at start of video, sudden loudness when somebody shouts (this is so random that it becomes noticable)

Now you remember that I told you these issues can be solved and this earphone can be made great , yes we can do that by JBL headphone app.
You can fine tune your equaliser at solve loudness issue. You can switch the type to video type to make lip sync issue gone.

By app you can make this a great earphone but the problem is that they should not be dependent on app to be great. For example I have a Bluetooth tv so this earphone can connect to TV but because this app is not available for TVs it just do not perform that well . But if you are going to use mobile phones and tablets then you can make them great.

At this price point they are good like 7/10 ,but not great like 10/10. Seen quite a few better sounding earphones in thile past not like these are bad but they are 7/10 ,lets be most generous : 7.5/10

Decent ANC,
Amazing bass,
Keeps falling off the ear if the lobes are a little big,
Worth the money,
Connects quickly and efficiently,
Sounds great and no unwanted noise,
The gesture and feature are very friendly and easy to use,

In short they are very great sounding buds and I would definitely recommend to buy.

Truly a segment killer. Prior to buying this, given I was very sceptical about spending so much on earphones, I didn’t know for sure if this was a good decision.

My options were either the the torq from crossbeats/ JBL 230anc and the Sony c500.

Having owned a crossbeats enigma already, I figured it was time to try something new. The JBL branding alone got my attention. Did my research and saw that most of the comparisons drawn for this model was with the 230 variant of the same series. The fact that this had a 10mm driver as opposed to the 6mm driver on the 230 already had me plus that was a pricier option. Again, the driver size doesn’t always determine the sound quality or quantity but the JBL branding wasn’t really seen on those out of the box. Some reviews state thats louder. Idk how. And the fit also seems better with the 230. This however has JBL branding proudly etheched on them.

Let’s talk about the important bits.
> Fit.😶‍🌫️
Everyone’s complaining about the comfort wearing them and how it’s always coming off. This really just comes down to the rubber buds you use. Find something that’s appropriate for your ears. The stock options didn’t fit me but I have a bunch of buds from all my previous earphones so found one that fits me like a charm. Problem solved.

>Sound quality 🥵🥵
My dudes, hear me out when I say this. JBL brings it’s own quality to music when it comes to their devices.
>Soundstage 🥵
The output for the 130anc is simply unmatched given the price segment. You can hear the sound so clearly seperated from various devices if you’re an audiophile.
> Bass. 🤙🏽
Incredible. So booming. So unhindered. And all this without compromising on the vocals. The Equalizer option is such a blessing.
> Connectivity. ❤️
It searches for your phones Bluetooth the second it’s out of the box. Never once did I have to open Bluetooth menu to connect.
> Volume.👍🏼 This is my only gripe. Hence the 4 stars. At full volume, you won’t find yourself needing any more volume but you’d prefer if there was more in the tank 😉
So most of the time if you’re gonna be using it at full volume to get the full feel of the JBL ANC 130. This too can easily be fixed by having external apps like a sound booster but for a normal person, it’s absolutely unnecessary. I have higher volume requirements cuz I primarily use these buds at the gym.
> ANC.🙄 I use this primarily for the gym. Lately I’m so impressed by the noise cancellation! It truly removed the sounds of people talking/ not too loud background music.
It’s like only a layer of sound passes through.
> Battery. 🦍
I still don’t know how these buds give over the head headphone level battery life.
Not only is the case super packed with a solid battery, the buds are optimized to deliver on a solid 8 hour battery despite playing music with such excellence at high volumes. Used the buds for an hour starting with 100% each and it was down to 90% after. 🥸
The JBL app precisely shows the battery left on each individual bud along with how much the case has left.
> Microphone.
The 4 mics on this really goes a long way. Despite other reviews that say it’s not that good, I find it super impressive. It has a way of picking your voice even in loud environments. 5/5 for indoor calling. 4/5 for outdoor calling. And. For those wondering if ANC works during calls, it doesn’t. You also have an option with the app that can determine how much of your own voice you hear when on call. 🙇 ( If outdoor calling is your priority, I’d recommend the 230 ANC cuz the design will better pick your voice)
Plus points
Talk through mode- double tap on the left bud and it’ll enable talk through mode. Brings the music down so low so you don’t have to take them off your ear should you need to talk to someone.
Design. So premium.
Case. Premium case. I’d recommend buying a seperate case protector too.

TDLR, unrivalled performance at this price point. I wouldn’t be surprised if this can compete with buds priced @8-10k. Unmatched bass. Solid battery life. Poor ANC but who cares.
