JBL Tune 245NC
A 48-hour total battery life (12 hours per charge) and IP54 dust/water resistance give these earbuds all-day durability and weatherproofing. Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio and Multipoint enables independent earbud use and reliable connections, while adaptive ANC and smart ambient modes provide versatile noise control. They are best suited for budget buyers who prioritize call clarity via the 4-mic VoiceAware system and long-lasting endurance over critical music listening.
