JBL Wave Buds In-Depth Review | Call Quality & Sound Tested | Best Earbuds Under 4K?

Ғылым және технология

The new JBL Wave Buds seem to want to target a larger crowed but don't have certain features a lot of people are looking for in a set of earphones that cost as much as these.
They aren't a slouch when it comes to the way they sound and I can see these being targeted at a specific kind of person.

    Thanks for the review. I wish I had seen it before buying. These earbuda have 2 mics only and that's why calls are so terrible if there's ambient noise. Buy something a little better if you need to have many meetings or calls in any environment.

    The sound is great. When you get then the build quality seems good. But only seems good. I have been using them for about two months and when I put them in the case they sometimes don't start charging and don't disconnect from my device. I have to fiddle them in the case and sometimes they start charging and disconnect from my device. But then I come back 30-45 minutes later and I see they have connected do my device and aren't charging. I don't know if that is a feature or not so evaluate my experience as you want. The sound is great and when fully charged they can play music non-stop for a long time. It's just this one issue.

    I haven't tested any of these recently. I tested a Mi dual drivers years ago and quite liked it, but I wouldn't know how it would fair against the other two. I'm still alive and prefer using IEMs instead of earphones like these. They offer much better detail in their music since they're directed at the audiophile community. Consider giving some of my reviews on IEMs a look if they're in your budget.

    Of the few I’ve tested, I’ve been enjoying the LG FP5 quite a lot. It’s got a very premium sound to it and handles imaging quite well for a set of TWS earphones. Vertical stage is usually lacking in TWS earphones. Have you considered getting a good set of IEMs?

    ​@@PaulsPOVyeah! I tried a budget set of iems it's called 7hz zero! But it doesn't seems it has so much of vertical staging and also lacks energy and bass in some genres! And I heard Iems also needs external power Like a Dac amp or so! So I haven't tried more yet !

  • @PaulsPOV

    @PaulsPOV

    The 7Hz are great for the price. Bass is usually on the thinner side with most IEMs, the 7Hz has a more prominent bass response than most other IEMs I've tested. Yes, they usually perform better with a good DAC & Amp. IEMs will do better with imaging and staging compared to TWS earphones. Over all music enjoyment is alot more fun if you prefer to listen to the details in your audio. I recently tested the CCA CXS, it does surprisingly well for its price too and has good bass response. It isn't over exaggerated there but has more presents than some other IEMs. If you're open to spending that kind of budget on a set of IEMs + DAC + Amp, I'm sure the guys at HeadphoneZone.in will be able to guide you much better than I can. I've tested a limited amount of gear while they have access to a whole lot of things. Feel free to hit them up if you're open to trying out IEMs, they're sweet folk to talk to.

    I haven't tested the enco buds 2, so I wouldn't want to give you any wrong information, but the one thing I'd say can be a negative for the JBL, as much as I like it, is the fact that the case doesn't have a lid, so it can hold a lot of dust or lint in time which could cause contact issues for charging. I haven't heard of this happening yet, but it's not as protected as having a closed case. But otherwise, I quite like how it performs overall. Nice set to own.

    I wouldn’t know about the 130NC. What I do know for sure about the OPPO is that it’s a great set to own because it does everything it needs to and it does it well. I’ve never had any issues with any OPPO earphones I’ve owned and they seem to last a long time if looked after. The JBL 230NC, I have gotten some people writing in telling me they’ve had a few issues with their units, so obviously it may not be a stress free ownership like the OPPO. Yes it does sound better detailed and has better structured bass but if it’s going to give you issues in the long run, it could be a pain to deal with. So if you want a no nonsense set of earphones, the OPPO is the way to go. Hope this helps.
