JBLTune 225TWS True Wireless Earbud Headphones - Pure Bass Sound, Bluetooth, 25H Battery, Dual Connect, Native Voice Assistant (Black)

I purchased these earphones to replace a pair that I had misplaced. However, before the new earbuds arrived, I found the old ones and decided to keep the new ones as my backup.I just opened them last month and they were not new😳. They were nasty, with grime in every crevice and earwax in the ear holes. The wire mesh was lose in each bud and worse, they stick in you when you try to put them in. I tried to clean them up but they are filthy.And now I’ve waited too long to send them back.I’ve bought several pair of these and I love them. This pair was a shocking surprise. I advise you open the package and check them even it they will be a gift.Otherwise. JBL makes a high quality product!

Me gustan mucho estos auriculares! Ya los he comprado 3 veces y nunca me fallan. (Solo se me pierden jaja) El color blanco está muy bonito pero el case se mancha rápido aunque es muy fácil de limpiar. Tienen muy buen sonido y son cómodos! No se me salen del oído! Los recomiendo son muy buenos por el precio.

List my AirPods & didn’t want to spend as much to replace them. Not easy to remove from the case. And don’t stay in my ears as well. But the price is fair, the clear case & color options are cool. I purchased orange. The sound is good.

Excelente muy comodos

After some due diligence, I selected these earbuds over several other candidates with otherwise comparable features primarily because of the JBL name, which has carried some weight with me in the audio realm for many years. The others were from manufacturers I'd never heard of.Of course (and isn't this always the case these days), it turns out that its apparently not your father's JBL anymore (or even mine).I had no trouble pairing them with my device, and it is here where my positive comments in this review are concluded.I liked the idea that bass was stressed in the description when I purchased it, but I found the bass to be too heavy-handed, almost to the point of distortion.The controls on the buds aren't exactly intuitive either, and the accompanying "quick start guide" consisted of drawings only to explain their usage.But the biggest problem is that the buds themselves don't properly fit into my ears, and, unlike my cheapo-cheapo set of earbuds, these fairly expensive JBL ones don't offer a set of alternative buds, indicating that apparently JBL has concluded that all humans have identical ear canals. Of course, a set of alternate buds would be impossible considering the design of the unit itself. I can see what they were going for here, but it doesn't do much good if the thing doesn't fit (or stay in) your ears. I noticed that in one of the previous reviews, JBL Customer Service responded, "Unfortunately, we don't have ear tips available for our JBL Tune 225TWS. Please make sure to twist the earbuds away from the earlobes for a better fit."Well, certainly that IS unfortunate, and in my experience "twist[ing] the earbuds away from the earlobes" does NOT result in a "better fit."And, of course, when twisting and adjusting the earbuds in your ears, you inevitably hit the control buttons, and start jumping to the next track, or powering off, or whatever. It's a complete nightmare. Either your ears will accept them or they will not, so if you're considering buying these, caveat emptor, folks. Unlike when buying a sweatshirt, there is no size guide to help the consumer get a good fit on what they're about to buy, so you're on your own. And good luck with that.Oh, and the included USB cable is a whole 9 inches long (I thought it might be a foot, but a ruler doesn't lie). An impossibly short cable is just another inconvenience that makes it difficult to locate the charger without having it dangle when plugged in. Who's making these decisions?I have a final complaint which has nothing to do with the performance of the product, but it put me in a bad frame of mind right at the outset. There is no visible means of opening the box that these things come in, and so you have to tear the box apart into shreds to get inside. And the glue that they use to seal the box up has an adhesive quality so strong that if NASA had used it, they wouldn't have had problems with tiles falling off the space shuttle.This was most frustrating, and as I said, it aggravated me even before I had a chance to try out the earbuds. I just don't understand why companies put a great deal of effort and expense in developing perfectly fine products, and then apparently turn the whole thing over to morons for packaging.My final verdict?After having a high regard for JBL products for over 50 years now, it looks like that once proud company has gone the way of Revere Ware.I'll be returning these.The search continues.

If I could I would change rating to 2.5. I've used these headphones for a few months now, so I think I have enough use to write a decent review. I have been mostly satisfied, but equally as frustrated with them. I'll list the Pros and Cons below.These headphone have great sound, and I love the ambient noise control settings. I use these headphone during my commute, just to jam out, and during work occasionally (thanks to the TalkThru and Ambient Aware), so it is fair to say I use them frequently. What has been the most frustrating is seemingly and sadly also paired with those same ambient settings. It started as early as 1-2 months in, but would come in and out so I never wanted to waste the support ticket. I would be listening, and I could hear the headphone automatically adjusting. At first, I thought that was a cool feature! However, it VERY FREQUENTLY will turn into one side not having ANY low end and sounding thin like it wasn't in my ear all the way (though it was) or like one sides ambient settings were different than the other, and the other side having either full range or no high end. This is quite annoying, tear-inducing and overall unlistenable experience. It feels like I'm wearing wired headphones that have damaged cables.On top of that, it would come in and out, sometimes changing every 15 minutes, sometimes it will be like that for days, and randomly work fine. They will fall out of your ears with certain movements, so I have dropped them once or twice, but they shouldnt be so fragile that a short fall ruins them. I've tried cleaning them out VERY carefully which helped with sound clarity and maintenance, but never fully solved the problem. I'm to the point now where I just started considering myself lucky if they work right. :( Overall, as a producer and general enjoyer of all things sound I would still recommend these headphone, but maybe don't sweat? I'm not too sure.Pros:• Great sound• Versatile/Useful Ambient Settings• Long Lasting Charge• Case holds good amount of charge• Case charges headphones fast• Easy to use (connect and pair fast)• Lightweight• Touch Gestures/Features are flexible and convenientCons:• Inconsistent listening experience• Very frustrating issues• Headphones don't always disconnect when in case• Switching between devices can be a hassle• Delay between settings adjusting• Mics pick up ALL outside sound during phone calls, people on the other end can hear EVERYTHING• Headphones don't stay in ear the best/Will fall out with changing positionUPDATE: Reached out to customer service which was easy and smooth. They offered some troubleshooting and also set me up to return them and have them replaced. Planning on updating the review with the new headphones once I've tried them out. Thanks for reading!
