JBL Tune 110

The JBL Tune 110 nails comfort and bass for a wired budget pair. Call quality is rough and build is below average, but the price is hard to beat. If you want simple, tangle-free earbuds that sound fun, grab these.

The 9mm driver pushes out the JBL Pure Bass sound, and owners consistently mention strong, punchy low end. Sound quality sits at the 47th percentile in our database, so it's about average overall, but the bass tuning gives it a fun, lively character that budget buyers tend to love. The mic is a weak spot at the 37th percentile, and calls score just 24.4 out of 100, which is rough. If you're mostly taking quick calls, it'll work, but don't expect much clarity in noisy environments. Comfort is where this thing shines, landing in the 93rd percentile, and the flat cable design gets real praise for staying knot-free.

Stacked against wireless options like the Soundcore P31i or JLab GO Pop ANC, the Tune 110 loses on features, no ANC, no Bluetooth, no battery to speak of. But it wins on simplicity and price. The Baseus Bass BP1 Pro and CMF Buds 2 both offer more modern conveniences, but they cost more and add charging hassle. If you want a wired pair that just works with your laptop or old MP3 player, the Tune 110 is a better fit than any of those. The TOZO Crystal Pods are also wireless and pricier, so they're not really in the same conversation.

For a wired pair of earbuds, the Tune 110 is cheap in the US, with prices ranging from USD 12 to USD 16 across 15 listings. The best deal we found is at the lower end of that spread, so shop around before you buy. In Canada, prices run CAD 13 to CAD 15, which is a tight range and basically a coin flip on where to grab them. For the sound and comfort you get, this is a solid value, especially if you just need a reliable backup pair or something for your commute.

The JBL Tune 110 is a wired in-ear headphone that keeps things simple. You get a 9mm dynamic driver, a one-button remote with a mic, and a flat cable that actually resists tangling. No app, no Bluetooth pairing, no charging case. Just plug in and go.

At this price, the Tune 110 is all about the basics done right. The sound leans heavy on bass, the fit is comfortable for most ears, and the whole thing weighs just 13 grams. It's not trying to compete with wireless earbuds, and that's kind of the point.

Skip these if you need reliable call quality or plan to use them for hours at a stretch. The mic is weak and some owners report earaches with prolonged wear. If you want wireless convenience or any kind of noise cancelling, look at the Soundcore P31i or JLab GO Pop ANC instead.

The JBL Tune 110 is for people who want a cheap, comfortable pair of wired earbuds with good bass and zero fuss. It's perfect for commuters, students, or anyone who keeps losing wireless buds. The call quality is a letdown, and durability is a question mark, but at this price, those are acceptable trade-offs.
