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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are pros and cons, think before buying.

I will compare it to the model 205; they are lower quality in terms of sound (including due to a decrease in resistance from 32 ohms to 20 ohms). The battery life has been extended, and a type C connector has been added, both of which are notable advancements. Among the drawbacks, in my view, are the fact that they have not improved the sound quality or the ergonomics, nor have they enhanced the microphone (everything also gurgles and disappears, although everything is ok on other headphones). My advice is that you do not use it for listening to music or as a headset because it does not have sufficient low frequencies for bass fans. However, you can use it for everything else (watch videos, games, etc.). In any event, you should double verify everything before making a purchase, including whether or not the size matches your ears. A good number of people have expressed their unease in their writing. 205 You are able to search for more, and you will find that they are less expensive and more handy. And the sound quality has been slightly improved (though the battery is 6 hours)

Pros
  • - a life expectancy of the battery of up to 16 hours - charging using type-c ports as opposed to micro USB ports - bluetooth 5.0
Cons
  • - I did not enjoy the way the music sounded (even worse than in the 205 model - a lot of highs, few lows) - a mediocre microphone for taking calls; in comparison to previous generations of the 205, it has not been upgraded. - SBC connection protocol (JBL does not install aptx even in expensive headphones) - 20 ohm as opposed to 32 ohm (longer operating time but lower quality) - raw firmware provided by the manufacturer, which requires installation of the firmware via the application. - An failed attempt to link the headphones to each other on the neck (the reason for avoiding the use of magnets is unclear; perhaps they cause interference; I'm not sure). - a huge size, in my opinion, they are inferior to the 205th in ergonomics, there are no ear pads of varied sizes, like there are in some Samsung headphones and some Huawei headphones, for example. It would appear that JBL is under the impression that everybody has the same ears; - the headphone case does not offer any protection against wetness; where are the buttons and where is the battery? may not hold up well in damp and muggy settings. If you are going to use them for sports, it is recommended that you get versions that have moisture protection or tws that do not have cables and have a battery built into the earpiece itself; if you buy it without discounts, the price will be higher. 2190 in-store total without applying discounts.
