All three models—Tune Buds, Tune Flex, and Vibe Beam—deliver JBL’s core signature bass sound. They all feature wireless Bluetooth connectivity for tangle-free listening and include smart ambient features that let you converse without removing your earbuds. And right now, all three are on sale for up to 50% off.
At $49.95 (down from $99.95), both the Tune Buds and Tune Flex give you noise-cancelling features and sound quality. JBL says the Tune Buds have a battery life of 10 hours when noise-cancelling is engaged. However, as noted by a user, these earbuds need to be removed from the case to power on. It’s not a dealbreaker, but if you’re in a rush and leave the case behind, it could be an inconvenience. The Tune Flex, on the other hand, offers six hours of battery life but adds some extra perks, like four mics for clearer calls. With an IPX4 rating, they’re also sweat-proof and water-resistant. On the downside, some users have reported issues with the earbuds not charging properly over time. Read PCMag’s detailed review of the JBL Tune Flex for more information.
For those on a tighter budget, the Vibe Beam at $29.95 (down from $49.95) offers eight hours of battery life and durability with splash- and dust-resistance. However, one reviewer noted that the earbud’s EQ tends to flatten the bass, and its presets don’t do much to improve it. At this price, they’re a decent option, but don’t expect earth-shattering bass.
Comparable options on the market, such as the EarFun Air Pro 3 or Anker’s Soundcore P40i, make for good alternatives but come with slightly higher price tags at $79.99 and $59.99 (down from $69.99), respectively.
