JBL Tune Beam 2 TWS Review: Blends audio performance with affordability

JBL, a well-established name in audio, targets everyday users looking for reliable earbuds for music, calls, and general use. The latest offering from the company follows the same line. The Tune Beam 2 earbuds seek to provide a balance of "JBL Pure Bass Sound," adaptive noise cancellation, and a comfortable design. Priced under Rs 6000, the JBL Tune Beam 2 promises to deliver clear vocals, punchy beats and extended battery life. But do they truly live up to the expectations? Let's find out in our complete review.
JBL has tried to give a modern and minimalistic design to the JBL Tune Beam 2 TWS. The earbuds come with an ergonomic and lightweight design which makes them ideal for extended listening sessions. The JBL Tune Beam 2 earbuds offer a comfortable, secure fit, and their smooth matte finish adds to their stylish design. The company has also included multiple sizes of silicone ear tips with the TWS. This allows users to find a secure and comfortable fit, which is important for both passive noise isolation and optimal sound quality. The JBL Tune Beam 2 features the short-stem design, which is a common style for TWS earbuds. The clean plastic finish and the shinny accents on the touch panels makes the design simple and functional. The JBL Beam 2 comes with IP54 rating which makes it durable for outdoor activities such as running, workouts and more.

The JBL Tune Beam 2 includes a small but somewhat bulky charging case with a matte finish. Compared to other TWS cases, it's noticeably large and creates an uncomfortable bulge when carried in a pocket. The front of the charging case has the JBL branding and LED indicators which offer. quick updates on battery status. The charging port is placed at the bottom, while the rear of the charging case consists of the Tune Beam 2 branding. Open the flap and you will find the earbuds strongly tucked into the respective slots with the help of magnets.
JBL has created a well-built TWS, though a sleeker charging case would have been preferable. Otherwise, the JBL Tune Beam 2 easily fits into any lifestyle.
The JBL Tune Beam 2 TWS earbuds come packed with features that enhance the overall user experience.The JBL Tune Beam 2 features a 10mm driver unit and it comes with Adaptive Noise Cancellation. The Adaptive Noise Cancellation on the earbuds manages to completely tune out surrounding noises offering an immersive sound experience. The earbuds also come with an Ambient Aware mode which adapts to how much of the outside noise you want to hear. Along with this, the TWS also comes with a TalkThru feature which allows you to talk with those around you without taking the earbuds out. With Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, pairing is quick and seamless, ensuring a stable wireless experience. Additional features include customisable touch controls via the JBL app, support for voice assistants, and compatibility with both Android and iOS devices.
The performance of the JBL Tune Beam 2 TWS lives up to its premium branding. The earbuds deliver JBL Pure Bass Sound, known for its deep, punchy bass that adds richness to music playback. The mids and highs are well-balanced, ensuring clarity across genres, from pop to classical. Bollywood songs often feature strong bass lines and expressive vocals, and the Tune Beam 2 handles both impressively. For example, the deep, resonant beats in "Malang" (Malang) or the intense rhythmic bass in "Badtameez Dil" (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani) sound punchy and immersive. Meanwhile, soulful melodies like "Tera Ban Jaunga" (Kabir Singh) showcase the earbuds’ ability to deliver smooth, clear vocal performance without distortion.

The ANC works effectively to minimise distractions, while call quality is commendable, supported by microphones designed to pick up voices clearly. Whether you're listening to music, podcasts, or making calls, the Tune Beam 2 provides consistent and satisfying audio output. Beyond music, the Tune Beam 2 TWS provides crystal-clear call quality, ensuring conversations remain smooth.
