Ever since I started YouTube and my channel went really tech focused, I wanted
to make a video on wireless earbuds. So, that brings us to today. Hey guys my name
is Tom. Welcome to the channel! Today we are going to be talking about what I
have in this bag...(drum roll) oh it's exciting. Here they are, the JBL tune 120 true wireless
earbuds. I've never actually owned earbuds before,... no I lied... because I
bought these. These are ten dollar wireless earbuds I mean they're wireless
and they're definitely just an Air Bud ripoff but they're terrible I currently
have an iPhone so the one thing that I've noticed with cheap everybody's like
this is they're terrible to connect to an iPhone so we're gonna actually open
these guys up right now and I'm gonna show you what's exactly in the box so
let me just put this here and okay so here you go as you can see we have the
JBL buds right here this is the case which is significantly nicer which I'm
not shocked about significantly nicer than my $10 earbud clone case it's got a
magnetic click we're gonna take a better look at that in a minute we also have
three different sizes of ear tips we have small medium and large we have an
orange charging cable we also have our warranty and warning as well as the
safety sheet and Quick Start Guide so let's get rid of these guys and take a
better look at our earbuds so left and right they click in magnetic that's
magnetic as well the case is a micro USB to charge metal hinge is visible in the
back ah doesn't stay open that well not that that's an important feature but
it's cool it's very sleek looking it says JBL on the front
each earbud is branded with an R or an L for right and left
it also says JBL on each one front facing then there's an LED on the side
so I really don't know a lot about earbuds so I'm gonna take this whole
review in stride and we're just gonna see how easy the setup is with these
particular earbuds okay so after taking a quick
look at the QuickStart guide I do believe that once the earbuds are
plugged into the case you're able to connect to the Bluetooth that they put
out so let's see if we can find them we are currently searching for other
devices and there we are JBL tune one 20 t WS currently
connecting and we're connected that was actually pretty painless so protip use
the Quick Start Guide all right let's plug in this other one instantly
connected they both paired at the same time I'm so not used to that with that
old air pod clone you had to pair separately and it was a total nightmare
okay so we're connected JBL tune 120 TW s beautiful I will say I'm not used to
having rubber tipped your ear plugs and can't I can't hear anything let's uh
let's play some music oh my god it's great I'm not gonna lie they sound a lot
better than I thought they were going to so let's talk first impressions so my
only other comparison to a an earbud air pod are those that I've had right there
any wireless earbuds that I've ever used are very tinny
and nice sound very good the song that I was playing has a decent amount of bass
in it it came through really well with these little guys so let's talk loudness
so right here I have a decibel reader headphones that I use I sometimes want
to be louder because I actually plan on using these while I'm like mowing my
lawn or going for a jog or something I want it I want to be able to hear well
so right now around us right now it's without me talking so as you guys can
see when I talk it goes up to about 75 and what we're gonna do is we're gonna
play the earbuds and I'm gonna tell you what it reads let me make sure that I'm
at full volume
the other thing to keep in mind is the kind of music you're listening to if
you're listening to slow jazz chances are your your audio is gonna be a little
bit quieter too right I mean that's how slow jazz is so while these are your
buds charge let's go back to my office we can take a better look at the specs
that these earbuds offer boom continuity all right so here's here's
what we're gonna do I'm back in my room and you can see a couple things first
you can see that there are three LED lights on the actual case itself so it
came probably fully charged these have been in here probably about 45 minutes
on my way back to my office and the lights on each ear but are also lit up
so kind of cool to know that everything's working as it should so
there's a couple things I want to show you first how small this case actually
is we're looking at just about two inches by two inches a little bit more
than two inches no let's get accurate two point three by two point seven so
fairly small they're also pretty light now I don't know who's complaining about
heavy earbuds but here we are they only weighed 2.6 ounces each earbud
I mean come on Oh point point - they're super light so
a couple things I did want to talk about was how important the startup guide
actually is upon looking at a little bit more you can see that it really walks
you through every process you'll need to start up use and continue to use the
earbuds from what's in the box how to wear them first time use power and
connect pairing power off manual controls button commands charging and
the led behaviors I don't need to go over it I just showed it to you there it
is pause the video so it's nice to know that these little your buds are said to
last four hours which is a decent amount of time the case is meant to last twelve
so you can get a couple charges out of the case being right along with you
super nice so here's a question for you guys watching what do you find more
important sound quality or operation time personally I'm more concerned with
sound quality because I want to be able to
these on the go like I said mowing my lawn but I'm also gonna try using them
while editing videos I'm curious to how the pairing will be with a computer and
just how they sound in general well let me know in the comments below what's
more important to you time performance or sound quality I'm very curious so
there's a couple things that I wanted to share that I didn't touch on in the last
part of this video one of which being the price at the time of recording you
can grab these awesome earbuds for just under $80 they also come in a variety of
colors including white black green yellow pink and blue a couple other
things worth mentioning spec wise is that these buds run on Bluetooth 4.2
Bluetooth 4.2 typically operates within a 50-meter radius of open space and a 10
meter radius indoors just know that 4.2 isn't the worst and it isn't the best
now let's go back to the office so I can share with you how the microphone would
sound on a call with the JBL 120s so first I'm gonna pull out the earbud
connected very easy should be an auto pair and it auto paired on this side as
well very very easy probably my favorite pairing experience I've ever had I love
it I love it testing one two three hey guys what's going on I'm pretty sure
that this is my you JBL earbuds but uh we'll see in a second it definitely was
recording so we're gonna do another one mm-hmm gotta clear the throat this is a
test of the 2:120 JBL pure bass zero cables
true wireless earbuds you can use these to call your mother call for pizza or
you know what else can you do with your phone I don't know you can listen to
music while you're in the Walmart alright cool Test complete these are
actually pretty good I like it I'm not gonna lie I'm really I'm really happy
with the quality of these I mean if I was to critique them at all knowing that
there's only a four-hour listening period I would like them to I'd like
them to have more I could go for a six to eight hour year but
but a 4-hour will get me by you know especially having a case that can
recharge them you can use them on the go while you travel or I hate keep equated
into that but you can move along with these it's perfect and they're good for
phone calls and that's it you guys do me good for my first ever wireless earbud
