Tune 215BT Wireless In Ear Headphones

I was worried that these headphones would end up in the junk drawer based off of previous reviews and the lack of unbiased YouTube reviews. But I’m glad that I purchased these!! Overall would buy again. Battery life is accurate at about 15-16 hours on a single charge at 50% volume. Speaking of volume, when fitted properly, the volume is typical for other JBL products, with 50% being comfortable, and 75% volume being nearly uncomfortable. Fitment seems to be an issue for some. These fit similar to Apple EarPods with the main difference being the rubberized coating versus the high gloss of EarPods. These make an excellent Bluetooth replacement for Apple’s corded counterparts at roughly the same price. Bluetooth 5.0 will initially result in the expected video latency. But that seemed to have mostly resolved itself after adjusting my device settings. Sound quality is excellent for what these are: a direct Bluetooth replacement for standard wired earbuds. The sound signature is balanced, which may explain the negative reviews. Buyers in this segment are typically looking for a V shaped sound signature. Once I adjusted the EQ on my device, and properly fit them, all of my fears went away. Occlusion. If you’re not a fan of occlusion, then these open design headphones should work just fine! They worked well on a run, and I didn’t experience the stethoscope sounds I normally get with TWS headphones. My only nit pick is with the cable… not about the length, but with the use of flat cables between the earbud and battery pack. The flat cables cause the earbuds to flex in the wrong direction, sometimes resulting in the earbuds moving in or out of the ear. I would like to see round cables closer to the ear. I think these headphones would also benefit from a cable clip to keep the battery pack from sliding to one side. Waterproofing would be a nice addition as well. In all, I’m happy with my purchase, and believe there’s a place for headphones like these for those that have longer workouts, or need to be able to hear their surroundings without a transparent mode. They’re simple to use, and easy to replace if lost or broken. If a more outdoor oriented model existed, I would happily buy or review.
