Review on JBL Tune 215 - Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds with Mic/Remote and Flat Cable - White - Enhanced Audio Experience! by Agata Roguska ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Money down the drain, poor quality product.

As for me, I use a JBL Tune 205bt headset, and I know they've been using JBL goods for quite some time. Her simplicity and dependability made my time with her enjoyable, and I haven't even mentioned the pads that occasionally fell off the plugs themselves. A newer model, the tune 215bt, caught my eye one day; it was nearly identical to the one I already owned, but it supported type-c charging (so I could use the cable that came with my phone to recharge it, rather than bringing a separate microUSB cable) and had a battery life that was 1.5 times as long ( apparently mainly due to version 5 of bluetooth). Take-e-eat! Friends, that was a miserable failure. Overall, it's a more refined design than the 205th. The actual sound quality is unknown to me because it was indistinguishable from the 205th. If you want to hear this sound, though, you have to give it a shot. As an example, say you have your phone on the table and your music is playing in the headphones; you go for the headset to increase the volume, but the audio abruptly stops. Attempting to take a seat, I had the signal cut off completely and my headset fall off. Just clenching your fist around the control unit (the one with the buttons) or turning your back on the source will cut off the connection. Hence, locate yourself and stay put if you value a steady link. A wire clip was also attached to the second wire so that the two may be joined when worn around the neck. Throw away years of knowledge and start afresh. After several days of misery, I discarded the new headset and went back to the tried-and-true 205th. What I really want to ask JBL at this point is: why are you doing this?

Pros
  • 5.0 Bluetooth USB-C Power Adapter Sustaining power for a long time
Cons
  • Integrity of the Link
