These Refurbished JBL Headphones Are Now Selling for $45
If you’re looking for a pair of noise-canceling headphones that won’t break the bank, you might want to check out these refurbished Class A JBL Tune Buds. They’re currently on sale at Woot for $44.99 (for the next week or until they go on sale), which is about $65 cheaper than a new pair on Amazon. Shipping is free with a Prime membership (otherwise, shipping is $6), and they’re backed by eReplacements’ one-year limited warranty. And because they’re refurbished Class A headphones, you get a full diagnostic check to make sure they’re functional and free of visible damage.
By default, the Tune Buds are tuned for powerful bass, but the companion app lets you tweak the equalizer for a more balanced sound. They also support Bluetooth 5.3, AAC, SBC codecs , and multipoint pairing, making it easy to switch between your laptop and phone without any hassle. As for the active noise cancellation, it’s decent for the price, helping to muffle most everyday background noise, and the IP54 rating makes them sweat- and splash-resistant enough for light workouts or walks in the rain, according to this PCMag review . You also get customizable touch controls and built-in Alexa support, though you’ll need to set that up in the app.
Battery life is surprisingly good: JBL claims up to 10 hours of battery life with noise cancellation on (12 hours without), and the charging case provides another 30 to 36 hours, depending on usage. That’s enough for a full weekend of listening without having to hunt for a charger. The 10mm drivers offer a standard 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range, and the earbuds come with three sizes of silicone ear tips to help you find the perfect fit. While the stock sound quality may not appeal to purists, the combination of features, comfort, and price make the Tune Buds a great buy, especially if you’re looking for budget-friendly active noise-cancelling, bass-heavy earbuds.
