True Wireless earbuds make it easier than ever to listen to music and podcasts. With no cable tethered to your phone or linking your earphones to each other, you can leave your phone in your bag, move completely freely as you listen, and answer the phone with a quick tap.

JBL’s range of True Wireless earphones look the business and sound it too. And with the power to keep going album after album, you won’t miss those wires.

Let’s take a closer look:

JBL Tune 120TWS

If you find yourself spending 10 minutes untangling cables before tuning into a new podcast episode, JBL Tune 120TWS put an end to that once and for all. The storage case means you can still keep them in your pocket, but without any wires getting scrunched up.

When you do switch them on, they’ll pair with your phone or tablet in seconds and give you 4 hours of brilliant, super-comfy, truly wireless listening. The case has the power to charge the earbuds three times over, so you can get through an entire discography without reaching for the USB cable.

When there’s a song you’re itching to hear, they won’t leave you hanging around. Just 15 minutes in the case will give you an hour of battery life, so it doesn’t matter if you forget to charge them at home.

The sound quality is impressive, too. Each earbud houses a large driver with all the punch of JBL Pure Bass sound. The bass is the star of the show, but it doesn’t overpower the mids and highs. That’s great news whether you’re a dance music fan with a soft spot for crisp percussion, or just someone who likes their music to sound a little fuller.

JBL Tune 220TWS

These trusty earphones are great for moving over from wired in-ears. They have that classic earphone design that will feel familiar. So you can pop them in just like a normal pair of earbuds and they feel comfy enough to wear all day. Combined with a sleek metallic finish in a choice of four colours, they’re stylish too.

Tune 220TWS earbuds give you an epic sound. The drivers are over double the size of the 120TWS, which means they’ve got serious oomph. They also sound particularly good when taking calls in stereo, which is easy whether you’re using an Apple or Android device. You’ll find on-ear controls that let you play, pause and skip without needing to dig out your phone.

With Bluetooth 5.0, Tune 220TWS deliver a reliably stable connection whether you’re listening, watching shows on your phone or chatting to mates. Fully charged they’ll go non-stop for 3 hours, and the charging case adds another 16 hours for good measure. That’s a long time before needing to charge.

JBL Live 300TWS

JBL Live 300TWS earbuds are all about power. Powerful sound, and a powerful battery to match.

While these are great earbuds for losing yourself in the music, there are times where you need to let the outside world in, i.e. when you’re crossing the road. Ambient Aware mode makes sure you’re aware of your surroundings even when you’re getting into a new pod or album release. You don’t even have to remove the earbuds when you get chatting to friends, colleagues, or people you meet. Simply swipe the earbud to activate TalkThru and you’ll hear them loud and clear.

These earbuds make a pretty epic workout companion. They’ve got ear tip wings that keep them stable in your ears whether you’re running, cycling or hitting the gym. No matter how long the session, their IPX5 sweat and water-resistant design means they keep comfy throughout, and you can take them out in all kinds of weather and know they can handle it.

They’re packed with more clever tricks too. In the JBL app, you can choose your phone’s voice assistant and get instant answers and help at the swipe of an earbud. You can make appointments, set reminders, or play a song just by asking!

Fully charged, there’s plenty of battery to get you through your playlists. JBL Live 300TWS earphones run for up to 6 hours and the charging case adds another 14 hours. When you’re in a rush, you’ll get an hour’s listening time from 10 minutes charging. So, you don’t ever have to wait to tune in.

If you need any more help finding the perfect JBL earbuds, you can pop in-store or chat to a tech expert via video call on ShopLive. They can even help you check out online if you're having any issues.
