JBL Tune 230NC
JBL makes some of our favourite portable Bluetooth speakers, and the JBL Tune 230NC has a strong musical heritage. These tiny buds weigh only 10g and come with three sizes of silicone ear tips. The JBL Tune 230NC contains two microphones on each earpiece for ANC and voice call features and is water-resistant to IPX4 standards. Unfortunately, the headset does not have a wear detecting feature that will play or pause your music automatically. The JBL Tune 230NC includes its own indicator lights that display whether or not they are connected, as well as a touch-sensitive zone on the top of each stem. The JBL Tune 230NC’s active noise cancellation is rudimentary, as is typical of low-cost true wireless headsets. While it did reduce background noise when used indoors, it was much less effective when used outside, or even with windows open at home.
The JBL Tune 230NC’s battery life is excellent, with the earpieces lasting roughly 6 hours and 30 minutes with ANC activated and moderate volume levels. The charging case adds three further charges, giving the device a total runtime of about 26 hours each charge cycle. This is the best noise-cancelling one at this price point, with audio quality that does not detract from the experience. Noise cancellation is becoming more inexpensive and without sacrifices, which is great news for music fans. The JBL Tune 230 NC is a must-have for anyone looking for noise cancellation that can be used for both work and play.
