JBL is a great, affordable option when it comes to audio gear and accessories. They have some of the best portable Bluetooth speakers around, designed for powerful sound in a compact form and made to be durable enough to take anywhere. Though JBL makes more than just these speakers. Their selection of earbuds make for excellent AirPods alternatives that produce amazing audio for a fraction of the price. Usually, you could find the JBL Tune Buds going for $100, but right now, Amazon has them on sale for 50% off. You don’t need a calculator to tell you that brings the price down by $50 to just $50 for a limited time.
JBL designed its Tune Buds with 10mm drivers that can deliver JBL’s Pure Bass Sound. When you pop these in, you’ll be bale to feel every pulsing beat of the music you hit play on.
Active Noise Cancelling with Smart Ambient
At just $50, it’s kind of crazy that a pair of earbuds support noise-cancellation, but the JBL Tune Buds do exactly that. You can eliminate the distractions that comes from hearing outside noises from your music, podcast, or audiobook, and focus entirely on the sounds you do want to hear. Then when time comes you do want to be aware of the sound from your surroundings, you can switch to Ambient Aware mode which allows those noises to filter through earbuds.
A nifty additional mode is TalkThru. This is able to intelligently detect when to let those sounds come through and when not to. Basically, if you are striking up a conversation with someone, the JBL Tune Buds will stop suppressing outside sounds. A great example of this in action would be waiting in line at the coffee shop. You can peacefully listen to whatever music or podcast you have playing while you wait in line, then be able to order your coffee when you up, hearing the barista perfectly without having to take out the earbuds.
Battery life is super solid. The earbuds are able to keep up for as long as 12 hours on a single charge. When you add in the charging case, you can go for as long as 48 hours.
The JBL Tune Buds come in four separate styles. They’re made in either black, blue, white, or purple, but unfortunately the purple is out of stock. The good news, however, is that the other three are each equally on sale for 50% off. That means you can choose whichever color excites you the most, knowing you’re still getting the best deal.
