Gadget Tune 245NC True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds

When you’re shopping for a pair of wireless earbuds, it’s not uncommon to come across models that promise excellent sound quality, solid noise cancellation, and impressive battery life. But let’s be honest—not all of them actually deliver on those claims. That said, there’s one pair that recently entered the market with exactly that kind of promise, and it comes from one of the most recognizable names in the audio industry: The model in question is the Tune 245 NC, and it just landed on my review desk.

The Tune 245NC are True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds designed for all-day use, combining the make's signature audio quality with advanced noise control features and a durable design.

Its Pure Bass Sound: Equipped with smartly designed 6mm dynamic drivers, the earbuds deliver the signature of the product sound with deep, punchy bass.

Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) with Smart Ambient: You can choose to tune out distractions with Active Noise Cancelling or stay aware of your surroundings using Ambient Aware and TalkThru modes for quick conversations without removing the earbuds.

Long Battery Life: Enjoy up to 48 hours of total playtime (12 hours in the earbuds + 36 hours in the charging case with ANC off). With ANC on, you get up to 40 hours total (10 hours in the buds + 30 hours in the case).

Clear Calls (4-Mic Technology): The earbuds are equipped with four microphones to ensure crisp, clear calls even in noisy environments, along with VoiceAware to control how much of your own voice you hear.

Water and Dust Resistant (IP54): The IP54 rating makes them resistant to water splashes and dust, making them suitable for workouts and outdoor use.

Bluetooth 5.3: Features the latest Bluetooth technology, including support for LE audio (available via OTA update), allowing for stable, high-quality streaming and independent use of either earbud.

JBL Headphones App Support: The companion app allows you to customize your listening experience by adjusting the EQ settings, fine-tuning ANC/Ambient modes, and customizing touch controls.

Sound

J.B.L. is not just an abbreviation; it stands for truly quality sound. The bass is powerful, yet it doesn’t overpower the mids and highs. Vocals are clean and clear. However, the sound quality also depends on the track itself. In my playlist, there are some old-school songs that aren’t mixed well and don’t deliver the desired sound quality from the start. So, it’s important not to immediately blame the headphones. They perform well, and the earbuds do their best to “enhance” the sound quality, even in the most challenging situations.

The Tune 245 NC adapts well to any music genre, delivering excellent performance across the board (especially if you tweak the equalizer settings within the headphones).

When it comes to watching movies and videos, there’s also nothing to complain about. Despite their small size, the headphones handle sound range and depth exceptionally well, creating a subtle sense of immersion, almost like being in a cinema. Overall, they’re not only great for enjoying your favorite tracks but also perfect for watching movies or shows in the evening. Seriously, you won’t regret this purchase.
