JBL Tune Buds 2 Overview

Design

You also get touch controls on the earbuds to do everything from activating noise cancellation to answering calls. JBL also lets you connect these earbuds to two different devices at the same time, thanks to multipoint connectivity.

Audio and noise cancellation

The Tune Buds 2 use 10mm drivers and support JBL’s Pure Bass sound, which leans toward stronger low-end audio. They also include spatial audio, which aims to create a more surround-like effect when listening to music, watching videos, or playing games.

Whereas it also supports something called “Personi-Fi 3.0” that tunes the earbuds to your personal listening profile. You can access this and every other feature inside the JBL Headphones app.

In terms of noise cancellation, the Tune Buds 2 supports adaptive noise cancelling to shush the world around you. It supports JBL’s “TalkThru” feature to let in ambient sound as well, although the company doesn’t specify exactly what decibel of ambient noise it can shut off when enabling ANC.
