Tune 235 Bluetooth Earbud Headphones

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a huge fan of JBL, and have exclusively used their Bluetooth products for almost a decade now. Being as loyal a customer as I am - I am not afraid to say when something falls short. Sadly, this product severely underwhelmed me. This product does not come with attachments for the in-ear headphones to assist with fitting issues. I couldn’t go more than 3 minutes without one of the earphones falling out of my ear. This problem was exacerbated by head movement of any kind, which defeats the purpose of being active with these headphones, which seems to be the whole purpose of them in the first place. It was so bad, that I convinced myself it must be a problem with how I was wearing them. However, consulting the manual they came with, as well as looking at promotional images, showed me that I was wearing them as intended. I have never had issues like this in the past, and I believe that is because in-ear headphones I have received from JBL almost always came with the size attachments to ensure a snug fit. I have no clue why those were not included in this product. Positives - the sound quality is good, as is expected with JBL products. Also, the charging speed was great, and the battery life completely serviceable. I simply do not think I would ever use these above my current JBL in-ear headphones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall the JBL Tune 235BT is a good product for attached wireless headphones. I’ve tested these headphones out for two weeks and initially was reluctant why I’d use attached headphones but as someone who has lost many AirPods and other wireless headphones over the years, I get it. The durability and quality of the headphones is fantastic as it helps orient the user to placing headphones into ear correctly. Additionally the over sound and ear comfort has been very comfortable with great sound quality. I think these headphones are great for walking outdoors, casual listening, and commuting since they won’t get lost or fall through cracks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL 235BT headphones are simple headphones with a solid sound profile. The only thing in the box is the headphones and a quick start guide. There is no charging cord or block. To get the full enjoyment of them, you will need to download the JBL headphone app. With the app, you can customize the sound to your needs and enhance the sound to your liking. It’s kind of tricky to get the headphones to sit in your ears correctly so that they don’t keep falling out. They sort of sit in your ears after you twist them a bit so that they fit in the crook of your earlobe. The cord connecting them with the controls on it is supposed to hang behind your neck. For me, the cord hung down a little long, which contributed to the cord wanting to fall out with too much movement. There's a tiny clip to clip the two sides together, and that stops some of the feeling that they're falling out. They are comfortable for long periods of wear, but I had a hard time getting them to stay in if I moved around too much. So, I would say that these are best for people who work from home or use their cellphone a lot. These would also be good for people who travel a lot and want to listen to music or watch movies on the plane, etc. As long as you’re sitting still, they mostly stay in place. But once you get up and start moving around, I found that they fall out easily. When I used them on phone calls, the listener said that the sound was good and clear and that they couldn’t tell that I was using headphones. They also sounded good on my end during the call. To me, using these for phone calls is the sweet spot. Music sounded great on them, but I rarely sit still while listening to music. I would give these a solid 3+/5.
