JBL Tune Beam 2 TWS review: Feature-packed TWS earbuds at ₹5,999
JBL Tune Beam 2 TWS review: Affordable earbuds usually come with compromises. Either the ANC is patchy, the audio feels flat, the battery gives up too soon, or worse, one of them gives up within 4-5 months of use. But JBL seems to be pushing back against that trend with its new Tune Beam 2 TWS, launched at ₹5,999. Now, JBL is not a new name when it comes to audio devices like headphones, Bluetooth speakers, soundbars or even wired earphones. And sure, most of the JBL earbuds tick the same boxes like ANC, bass-heavy tuning, ambient sound control, JBL Headphones app integration and more. But with the Tune Beam 2, there's a noticeable buzz. What's really driving this hype? Are they genuinely that good? I've been using them through work calls, workouts and late-night music wind-downs, I think I have cracked the code! Let's break it all down. JBL is known for its audio game and with the Tune Beam 2 TWS, it's now eyeing the budget crowd that still wants premium-like features. These earbuds promise adaptive ANC, six mics for better calls, app-level EQ tweaks and up to 48 hours of battery life. Sounds promising at ₹5,999, right? What's in the box? JBL keeps it simple yet thoughtful. Inside the box, you get the Tune Beam 2 earbuds, a coloured USB Type-C charging cable and additional ear tips in different sizes for a better fit. Design and build The charging case is made of polycarbonate with a matte finish, giving it a neat look. It has a flat base, so it sits upright without toppling over, and a slightly curved front for a comfortable grip. The earbuds have a stemless design that makes them compact, snug and lightweight enough for long hours of use without causing fatigue. They come with an IP54 rating, making them dust and splash resistant. Besides, these TWS feature an anti-earwax design that adds a layer of hygiene, especially useful if you share them with others. Connectivity and features Pairing is smooth, thanks to Bluetooth 5.3. Once paired, they reconnect instantly. You also get 10mm drivers with JBL's Signature Sound, so the audio feels full, with clean bass, crisp vocals and no distortion even at higher volumes. There are six microphones, along with a voice-aware mode that lets you hear your own voice during calls. Call quality is genuinely impressive even in noisy environments like traffic or crowded metros. A single tap on the earbuds can toggle the ANC on and off. JBL Headphones App connectivity The JBL Headphones App integration is a big plus. You can tweak EQ settings, adjust the strength of adaptive noise cancellation and switch between Ambient Aware or Smart Ambient modes, depending on how much of the outside world you want to let in. There are even modes like Smart Audio and Smart Video, which optimise the earbuds based on how you're using them, for instance, for calls, music or streaming content. The app also handles software updates and bug fixes, keeping the experience stable in the long run. That said, I found some quirks as well. The touch sensors are overly sensitive! A light brush or accidental tap can pause or skip tracks (depending on your set controls). And oddly, removing the earbuds from your ears doesn't pause the music, something we've come to expect even from more affordable models. Battery and charging Each earbud has a 65mAh battery, while the case packs a 590mAh battery. From zero, it takes about 1.5 hours to fully charge, but a 10-minute top-up can give you 2–3 hours of playback, which is a great feature when you are in a hurry. With ANC on, you can enjoy up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge. If you turn it off, the battery stretches to around 12–13 hours. On average, including the case's battery, you can easily get 4-5 days of use with these JBL TWS earbuds. Over the past few weeks, I've used the Tune Beam 2 during commutes, workouts, work calls and while binge-watching at night. It is safe to say that the earbuds hold up well in most situations. They do not fall out during light workout sessions or jogging. Besides, the call clarity remains solid even in metro stations, parks or cafes. But there are small irritants. Accidentally brushing the earbuds while lying down or adjusting them triggered unwanted actions. Moreover, with customisable sensor controls, I could easily switch from ANC mode to Ambient Aware and more without even using my phone. I also set one of the gestures to trigger Siri, and it worked surprisingly well for basic actions like making calls or sending texts. As for comfort, the earbuds are lightweight and easy on the ears. I wore them for about 1 to 1.5 hours at a stretch without any discomfort. The stemless design gives them a snug fit and the overall shape keeps them well-balanced. If you're looking for feature-packed TWS earbuds under ₹6,000, the JBL Tune Beam 2 makes a strong case. Great audio, impressive ANC, solid battery life, call quality that actually delivers, and a ton of useful app-level customisation.

JBL Tune Beam 2 Review: A good pair of TWS earbuds in a highly competitive segment
These JBL earbuds lag behind the competition in a couple of areas but somewhat make up for it with their energetic sound output and TalkThru feature. read more Pros: Energetic sound output Useful companion app to tweak the sound and more Good build quality, IP54 ingress protection for the buds The finish and build quality of the product are pretty good Lightweight and comfortable in the ears Dual-pairing support Ambient Aware and TalkThru features work well Very good battery backup Cons: Outdoor call quality needs improvement Average ANC No wear detection sensors Prone to accidental touch inputs Price: Rs 5,999 The JBL Tune Beam 2 is priced at Rs 5,499 in India with a one year warranty Rating: 3.9/5 BL has been around for a long time and needs no introduction. They already have a broad portfolio of audio products in India, including several true wireless (TWS) earphones, to cater to different types of users. The Tune Beam 2 that we have for review today is among their most recent releases here. On the surface, it looks like a simple pair of TWS earphones with most of the key boxes ticked for the segment. But the near Rs 5,000 segment is highly competitive. So let's see if this one's in tune with it or not. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD JBL Tune Beam 2: Design and Comfort (8/10) The design of these JBL buds is quite simple but pleasant with short stems and angled earpieces with silicone tips. The buds as well as the case are made of high quality plastic with a matte black finish. A hint of gloss for the logo and model name breaks the monotony and looks good. The three indicator LED slashes at the front add a bit of character to the design. These earbuds have an IP54 rating against dust and water ingression, and one can wear them during workouts or jogs without a worry. The fit is quite snug and comfortable with the right pair of eartips and the buds don't pop out of the ears often. The silicone eartips enter the ear canals and provide a decent seal. You get two more pairs of tips in the bundle if the preinstalled medium option isn't the right size for you, along with a cool looking flat charging cable. The buds are extremely light and weigh just 5.2 grams each despite hosting a 65 mAh battery. You have touch zones at the back of the buds and the touch sensitivity is good. The company packs a few extra eartips in the bundle The charging case is fairly compact but not slim enough to go unnoticed in your pocket. The product is fairly compact and just about pocketable It doesn't have any sharp edges and feels great in hand. Weight is not an issue either with the case tilting the scales at 42 grams. There is no mention of any ingress protection for the case, so try not to take it out in a drizzle. You get three charge indicator LEDs at the front, while a USB-C charging port is present at the back. The three LEDs at the front of the case inform you about the amount of remaining charge The Tune Beam 2 is also available in Turquoise and White colour options. The bottom on the case has a USB-C port to charge these earphones briskly JBL Tune Beam 2: Features and Specifications (8/10) Each earbud is fitted with a 10 mm dynamic driver and three microphones for calling and active noise cancellation (ANC). In addition to adaptive noise cancellation, you get two transparency modes called Ambient Aware and TalkThru. The former lets the ambient noise through to keep you aware of your surroundings and the latter focuses on enhancing vocal frequencies, facilitating a quick conversation without removing the buds from the ears. These earbuds support multipoint connectivity and can be paired with two devices simultaneously. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD There are no wear detection sensors on the JBL Tune Beam 2, which I would have liked to see given that buds priced 30% lower now flaunt that feature. These earbuds are Bluetooth 5.3 compliant and support SBC and AAC codecs. You get access to various settings of the earbuds after you install the JBL Headphones app and sync the earphones with it. The app is quite handy and lets you alter the sound output, create a custom audio profile, configure the controls and update the firmware among other things. The feature-rich JBL Headphones app let's you tweak the sound output, controls and more Just like in the case of earlier JBL earbuds we had reviewed, you cannot assign a specific function to each gesture. You have to assign an entire set from Ambient sound control, Playback control, Volume control or Voice assistant control. Most sets assign the functions to single tap and double tap gestures, with Playback controls using triple tap for previous track function. Given that single tap is mapped in most cases, the Beam 2 is prone to accidental touch inputs when adjusting or removing the buds from the ear or the case, which can be irritating at times. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD BL Tune Beam 2: Performance (8/10) These buds aren't the loudest around and the volume needs to be pushed close to 80% for optimal loudness that several earphones achieve around the 50 to 60% mark. The default sound is noticeably bass heavy; well, it's called JBL Pure Bass Sound after all. The good part being, the bass is reasonably tight and not too boomy, and the overall output is quite energetic. Even better, you can tweak it using the JBL Headphones app and bring better balance to the output. The JBL Tune Beam 2 may offer a feature or two less than the competition but performs admirably You can push the mids up a bit in the 10-band equaliser for better vocal clarity and then adjust the bass and highs to suit your taste. If that's too much work, you also get half a dozen audio presets to try out. If that's not enough, you can also create your personal listening profile (Personi-Fi 3.0) using a simple listening test in a quiet environment which adjusts the sound curve as per your preference and listening capabilities. It is certainly worth a try. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD After doing the necessary adjustments in the equaliser, the JBL Tune Beam 2 produces a punchy and fairly balanced sound without losing its zing or thump. The default sound is good enough for genres like pop and EDM, but with a few tweaks, these earbuds sound well across more genres of music. The soundstage here is decently broad and the detail in audio is perfectly fine for the segment. You also get Spacial Sound here which tends to broaden the soundstage further but it's a matter of individual taste; I preferred to keep it off. Moving on to ANC, I wasn't very impressed with the results. It does block certain frequency sounds but results in a bit of hiss in certain cases. The competition is way ahead in this department. Where this JBL does better than the competition is in transparency modes. I quite liked the Ambient Aware and TalkThru options where the sound being let through feels natural. They can be used to be aware of your surroundings when crossing the road or to hear announcements at airports or stations with the buds on. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD TalkThru can be quickly enabled or disabled by a simple double tap to have a quick chat without removing the buds from the ears. While the company does not specify the latency figures, there was no perceptible lag between the video and audio when streaming videos. The wireless range is perfectly acceptable with the buds retaining a strong connection up to 10 metres with a clear line of sight. JBL Tune Beam 2: Call quality (6.5/10) The call quality on the JBL Tune Beam 2 is a case of two extremes. When indoors or in a quiet environment, you are clearly heard by the person on the line with good vocal clarity. When outdoors or in noisy areas, the microphones tend to pick up quite a bit of ambient noise like that of traffic or people talking. Some could even hear crows cawing a fair distance away. JBL probably needs to decrease the sensitivity of the microphones a little. The wind noise suppression works well though. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD JBL Tune Beam 2: Battery life (8.5/10) The battery backup of the JBL Tune Beam 2 is quite impressive. The company claims figures of 10 and 12 hours for the buds with ANC on and off respectively, while the charging case can provide three more top-ups. With the loudness over 75% at all times, the earbuds managed to go on for close to 9 hours with intermittent use of ANC and TalkThru. With the 590 mAh battery in the charging case, the overall battery backup figure reaches 36 hours, which is quite impressive. Without using ANC at all and with minimal calling, the battery backup can easily breach the 40-hour mark. The product can be fully charged in about two hours with a standard USB-C charger. Fast charging numbers aren't specified but a 10-minute charge gives you close to two hours of playtime, which can be handy. JBL Tune Beam 2: Price and verdict STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The JBL Tune Beam 2 is priced at Rs 5,999 with a one year warranty, and can often be spotted for Rs 5,499. For that price, you get a pair of lightweight and comfortable TWS earphones with a lively sound output that can be tweaked further from the companion app, more than useful transparency modes and excellent battery backup. The outdoor call quality and ANC need a bit of improvement and features like wear detection sensors should have been present. But its energetic sound output does make up for some of its shortcomings. The earbuds are fairly lightweight and fit well into the ears without any discomfort While the JBL Tune Beam 2 is a good addition to the near-5K segment in India, it is a highly competitive space here. There are several excellent TWS earbuds one can buy around Rs 5,000 like the OnePlus Buds 3, EarFun Free Pro 3 and CMF (Nothing) Buds Pro 2 to name a few. They offer superior codec support in addition to comparable sound quality and comfort. Take your pick. Neither will disappoint you.

JBL Tune Beam 2 review: Dapper looks, clear sound for less than Rs 6,000
Getting a decent pair of wireless earphones at around Rs 5,000-Rs 6,000 is a tricky affair. Brands usually promise big but end up skimping on the basics. Options galore but none stand out as true value for money. JBL wants to change this notion with the new Tune Beam 2. These earphones pack a lot of cool technology including active noise cancellation (ANC), LDAC support, dual device pairing, and guarantee of outstanding battery life, at a price of Rs 5,999. But does the new JBL audio product deliver something special in the real world or add to the crowd, we try to find out in this India Today Tech and fit: Clean, functional, comfortableThe JBL Tune Beam 2 earphones have a clean and functional design, a far cry from competition, most of which are loud and flashy. The charging case has a rounded rectangular shape with soft, curved edges. It is compact and fits comfortably in the palm, making it easy to carry around — whether in your hand or slipped into a pocket. JBL is using plastic, but the build quality feels surprisingly robust. It showed no visible signs of wear and tear even after multiple drops. The lid offers a secure grip holding up well to prevent the buds from popping out in the event you drop it accidentally. You get a trio of LEDs on the front, to indicate the battery level which is a nice touch that adds much-needed convenience otherwise missing on most of the competing products. On the flip side, the case is prone to smudging easily. advertisement The earbuds themselves offer a snug fit staying firmly put even during workout and brisk runs. The default silicone tips provide a comfortable seal. Three additional tip sizes are included in the box so most users should be able find the right fit. These can be worn for hours at a stretch without any significant discomfort. Touch sensors onboard let you play, pause, skip tracks, and even activate the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature. They are a bit overtly sensitive in my experience but not to the extent of being a deal-breaker. Lastly, the JBL earbuds come with an IP54 rating, meaning they can survive a light drizzle or sweat (as well as dust) without any trouble. However, this ability is not extended to the case. This is fine because cases in its price range don't offer an IP about sound quality?For a pair of wireless earphones that cost under Rs 6,000, the Beam 2 can crank out pretty enjoyable sound. The inclusion of LDAC support is a big win for those seeking more detail and less compression, provided your phone supports this Bluetooth codec. On compatible devices, you will notice sharper instrument separation and finer textures in vocals and background elements. Even when falling back to AAC or SBC, which most phones use by default, the earphones deliver a consistently pleasing audio experience. The sound profile is balanced when using JBL's preset equalizer modes which are accessible through the JBL Headphones app. Modes like Extreme Bass and Club instantly add extra punch and energy to tracks like Martin Garrix's "Animals" or "Carry You," Alphaville's "Forever Young," and Major Lazer's "Lean On." If you enjoy EDM or hip-hop, these presets make these earphones a satisfying choice in the sub-Rs 6,000 bass hits well enough for casual listening without overpowering the soundstage, making these earphones great for genres like house, trance, or pop-EDM. However, if you prefer heavy trap or dubstep with deep sub-bass, these earphones may feel a little light at the lowest my listening tests with Metallica's "All Nightmare Long," the earbuds handled fast guitar riffs, aggressive drums, and intense vocals quite well. While not targeting audiophiles craving every detail and spatial nuance (which larger over-the-ear headphones excel at), these earphones offer an energetic and enjoyable experience in their price range. They are also well-suited for modern Bollywood tracks with punchy beats and rich and call qualityActive Noise Cancellation (ANC) on these earphones works mostly as advertised. It's not class-leading, but it does a good job of cutting out office chatter, AC hums, and low-level street noise. The JBL app gives you control over ANC levels and includes Ambient Aware and TalkThru modes. The former lets in environmental sounds, so you are not completely cut off, while the latter lowers the volume and amplifies speech, which is handy for quick conversations. Call quality is another area where JBL has made improvements. The Tune Beam 2 earphones have six microphones, up from four on the previous model, and the difference is noticeable. Background noise like wind or honking autos is handled impressively. Even during outdoor walks and rides, my voice came through clean and clear, with minimal interruption from the life: Surprisingly dependableBattery life is another area where the JBL Tune Beam 2 earphones quietly excel. With ANC turned off, the earbuds (with the case) easily lasted me about 9 days on a single charge, with an average of 3 to 3.5 hours of daily use. Even with ANC enabled, I got a solid 7 days of usage, impressive for a pair of budget wireless earbuds. My listening volume mostly hovered around 50 to 60 per cent, which is the sweet spot for both sound clarity and battery charging is supported too, and it works well. A quick 15-minute top-up delivers about 4 to 5 hours of playback time, making it perfect for those last-minute dashes out of the door. There is no wireless charging which is understandable given the price point. JBL also includes power-saving features like auto-standby and auto power-off, though in daily use, I rarely found the need to manually toggle and JBL App: Reliable and user-friendlyWhen it comes to connectivity, these earphones get most of the basics right. Pairing is straightforward; just open your phone's Bluetooth settings, flip open the lid with the earbuds inside, and you are ready to connect. There is no dedicated pairing button though which could have made things easier for non-tech-savvy users. Once paired, the earphones automatically connect to the phone without any problem. advertisementThere is no in-ear detection feature, which means your music won't automatically pause when you remove the earbuds. That might disappoint some, but JBL redeems itself with a handy dual connection feature. You can stay connected to your phone and laptop simultaneously without constantly switching or unpairing devices. During my time using it, this feature worked flawlessly with no dropouts or JBL Headphones app ties everything together with a clean, intuitive user interface. It gives you access to all the expected features, customisable touch controls for playback and calls, ANC adjustment, and even a "Find My Buds" option. The EQ section deserves a mention too. JBL offers a few presets like Jazz, Vocal, Extreme Bass, Studio, and Bass but you can also create your own custom EQ by tweaking frequency Tune Beam 2: Should you buy them?For Rs 5,999, the JBL Tune Beam 2 gets all the basics right — good sound, strong ANC, solid battery life, and reliable call quality. The support for LDAC is a big plus, while the dual device pairing and responsive app controls add real value. It skips a few extras like wireless charging and in-ear detection, but those are easy to live with, considering their price. If you want dependable earbuds with great audio and everyday convenience, the JBL Tune Beam 2 is an easy recommendation.

JBL Tune Beam 2 review: Feature-rich wireless earphones with great sound
Audio accessories maker JBL has recently launched the Tune 2 series of wireless earphones in India. Leading the lineup is the Tune Beam 2, a pair of true wireless earbuds featuring adaptive noise cancelling and spatial sound support. On the connectivity front, the Tune Beam 2 comes with Bluetooth v5.3 (LE Audio supported) and Google Fast Pair for swift pairing with supported devices. JBL claims up to 48 hours of total battery life and a six-microphone setup to ensure clearer voice calls. The earbuds are compatible with both Android and iOS devices. On paper, the Tune Beam 2 appears to be a strong contender in its segment — but how does it perform in real-world use? Let us find out. Design and fit The JBL Tune Beam 2 comes in a compact box, which includes the charging case and earbuds, a USB-C charging cable, a user manual, and two additional pairs of silicone ear tips in different sizes. The charging case has a compact design with matte-finish to resist smudges. While the case is portable, it is on the heavier side even when empty. The front of the case features the JBL logo, just above a row of three LEDs that indicate the remaining battery level. A USB-C charging port is placed at the bottom. Opening the lid reveals a glossy interior with clearly marked left and right indicators. The earbuds are secured with strong magnets and remain firmly in place, but you can pick them out without any efforts. The earbuds themselves feature a stem-style design with soft silicone ear tips that provide a snug fit. They sit securely in the ears, remain stable during movement, and feel sturdy overall. However, extended use may lead to some ear fatigue. The earbuds have a clean, solid-colour body, while the touch surface sports a glossy finish. This area allows you to control playback, manage calls, and toggle ANC and ambient awareness modes. Connectivity and pairing The JBL Tune Beam 2 supports Bluetooth 5.3 and is compatible with both Android and iOS devices. It also features multi-point connectivity, allowing it to stay connected to two devices at once. Google Fast Pair is supported on Android, enabling quick and seamless pairing. Pairing with smartphones is straightforward and hassle-free. However, connecting to a Windows laptop occasionally required multiple attempts. The earbuds are supported by the JBL Headphones companion app, which offers a user-friendly experience across platforms. Audio and features The sound performance of the JBL Tune Beam 2 is above average for mid-range earbuds, offering clear highs and dynamic, punchy bass. While the default tuning is decent, the sound quality improves noticeably with customisation through the JBL Headphones app. The app includes several useful audio settings like equalizers, spatial sound modes, Personi-Fi, and sound balance controls—giving users the freedom to tailor their listening experience in depth. Personi-Fi 3.0: This feature lets users personalise the sound based on their individual hearing profile. It runs a quick hearing test and then generates a custom sound profile to optimise the audio experience. I personally found this feature effective—after enabling it, the overall clarity improved, and the bass felt strong but never overpowering. The earbuds handled different music genres like jazz and rock with ease, and sound remained balanced even at higher volumes. Smart Audio & Video Mode: This setting lets you switch between Audio and Video modes depending on your content. 'Audio mode' enhances the music listening experience, while 'Video mode' reduces latency to ensure better lip-sync accuracy when watching videos or streaming content. Spatial Sound: For a more immersive experience, Spatial Sound offers three presets—Movie, Music, and Game. Each mode tweaks the surround sound field slightly to match the type of content being consumed, adding depth to the audio output. Gesture control: The earbuds support touch controls, which can be customised through the companion app. You can assign gestures like single tap, double tap, or tap-and-hold to functions such as switching between ANC and Ambient Aware, activating TalkThru, or summoning a voice assistant. For example, my setup includes a single tap to toggle ANC and Ambient Aware, double tap for TalkThru, and tap-and-hold to activate Siri. Equalizers: The EQ section includes several presets like Studio, Bass, Club, Extreme Bass, Vocal, and Jazz. There's also an option to create your own custom EQ profile. This detailed control is great for more demanding listeners and helps fine-tune the sound to personal preference. Relax Mode: The app also includes a Relax Mode, featuring calming nature sounds such as crackling fire, ocean waves, birdsong, and rain. You can mix multiple sounds and set a timer for up to 60 minutes, making it a nice addition for winding down or meditating. Noise cancelling The JBL Tune Beam 2 features adaptive noise cancellation (ANC), which performs reasonably well for everyday use. In typical environments like busy streets or noisy indoor spaces, the earbuds manage to filter out much of the background noise, allowing for an immersive listening experience. However, in louder settings—such as heavy traffic or construction zones—some ambient sound still seeps through. ANC can be toggled directly from the earbuds, and its effectiveness also depends heavily on getting the right ear tip size and adjusting the volume appropriately. The transitions between phone calls and listening on the earbuds are seamless. The JBL Headphones app enhances the noise control experience with manual settings for ANC, Ambient Aware, and TalkThru modes. These options let you fine-tune how much external sound you want to let in. I found the ability to customise the ANC level particularly useful, especially when I didn't want to be completely isolated from my surroundings. The TalkThru feature came in handy during face-to-face conversations, allowing voices to pass through clearly without needing to remove the earbuds. Calling Call quality on the JBL Tune Beam 2 is solid, thanks in part to the well-placed microphones on the stem-style earbuds. Even in noisy environments, voice clarity remains strong, and background sounds are mostly filtered out, preventing the caller's voice from sounding muffled or drowned. Each earbud features a triple-microphone setup—six microphones in total—which delivers noticeably better performance compared to many other earbuds in this range. Voices on both ends of the call come through clearly, and the connection remains stable. The JBL Headphones app also includes dedicated sound and voice settings, allowing me to fine-tune both how I sound and how the caller's voice comes through. This adds a nice layer of customisation to the calling experience. Battery Life The battery life on the JBL Tune Beam 2 varies based on usage patterns, but in general, the earbuds easily last multiple days on moderate use when combined with the charging case. JBL claims up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge with ANC enabled, and up to 12 hours without ANC. The case provides an additional three full charges, bringing the total battery life to up to 40 hours without ANC or 30 hours with ANC. In practice, this holds up well for daily use and makes the earbuds a reliable option for travel or long listening sessions. Verdict Priced at Rs 11,999, the JBL Tune Beam 2 offers dynamic sound along with useful features like spatial sound and adaptive sound control. Its strong app integration allows for deep customisation of audio preferences, and the impressive battery life adds to its overall value. That said, there are a few trade-offs such as lack of auto play/pause functionality, which is offered by some competitors in this price range.
