JBL Tune 245NC TWS Black

First impression: Nice sturdy earplugs subtly designed. They do have their own design, so they do that well at JBL! The earplugs are also lightweight and the fit is great! The plastic feels a bit cheaper, but because they look sturdy and have survived a fall a few times, there is nothing wrong with that! There are also a number of microphones on the earplug, 4 in total. More on this later. The case is made of the same material as the earbuds, plastic but sturdy! The cover feels a little less firm, but there is quite a bit of movement. The functionality does not matter, but ensures that the feeling of quality is slightly less. Furthermore, the case has 3 LEDs on the front that indicate how full the case is. Ideal! The case also has a USB-C connection for charging, which is not special. Very handy.  My 3 favorite things: 1. Active noise canceling 2. Sound quality 3. Firmness 4. Call quality My least favorite things 1. Difficult to connect to multiple devices 2. Operating the earbuds After you have connected the earbuds, you can set everything up using the JBL app. Think of the noise canceling, sound profile and what happens when you tap the earbuds. And then of course the sound. That's good if you listen to music with bass. These earplugs are aimed at such music. So you can almost feel the beats. ;) Despite the presence of bass that certainly does not predominate, the highs are also clearly present. The active noise canceling is also good, all annoying sounds are nicely filtered out without bothering you. So no annoying buzzing that you sometimes have with other earplugs. Thanks to the different positions, you can also easily switch and even talk without having to remove the earplugs. The earbuds can be operated by tapping the center of the earbud, this works fine in itself, but I'm not a fan of it because it feels like you're tapping your eardrums. However, you do not easily click wrong and it is also registered properly. Something to keep in mind is that earplugs don't have a sensor to detect that the earplugs are in your ears, so if you take 1 earplug out of your ear, the music will continue to play. Another standout for me is the call quality. Thanks to the 4 microphones, you can be heard clearly without a lot of ambient noise. It also doesn't sound like you're standing in a tunnel, which is sometimes the case with other brands.

As an athlete, I think it is important that I am not busy with my music all the time. I want to be able to focus on the activity that I am performing at that moment. While running I did not feel that I could easily lose 1 of the earplugs. Because 3 different rubber sizes are included, you can see what works best for you. When you want to work focused for a while, it is also nice to be able to use these earplugs. When paired with the phone, they effortlessly switch to calling. The caller on the other end can also hear you well. Even when you walk outside. Then there is a slight noise audible, but that is almost insurmountable because the microphone is a bit further away from your mouth. This was not experienced as disturbing. Another big advantage is the battery life. I haven't run into any limits yet and have used them for at least an hour every day. At the moment I have about 45% of the maximum battery life after about 2 weeks use this for at least 1 hour per day of use. The consumption corresponds to what the manufacturer states.

They are super nice, and as usual from jbl also good sound that you can adjust via the jbl app.
