I just got my wave buds and I am really thankful for this review. About the no lid design, yeah it sucks but I just bought a shock proof case and thankfully it has a lid!
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 got my Samsung buds 2 for 5900 but i compared them with jbl 230nc . jbl has more wider sound staging and has more air in it then Samsung buds 2 but bass is more better in Samsungs . go for jbl simply
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.
Give the call chapter a look in this video. It'll give you a good idea about how your voice will be carried over to your recipient. There are a few earphones here that will fit in your budget. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-02oj56RyONs.html
Oppo enco air 3 vs JBL wave beam. Which one should I prefer for the below mentioned purposes: 1. Good sound quality with high bass experience. 2. Good calling experience while traveling in busy public transport. Thank you in advance for your response 🙂
Bass wise, the JBL is heftier in delivery. Call Quality wise, give a listen to their call demo's I've provided in their indepth reviews. It'll give you a good idea as to which one you'd prefer.
Have a look at the manual for how to reset these buds. A reset should sort out issues is has. If it doesn't, it's worthwhile getting in touch with customer care.
I wouldn't recommend using any in ear earphones while riding. There is equipment you can use that's made to fit within helmets, which also ensures you can hear your surroundings. That's significantly safer to use.
#HeyPaulsPOV My question is which one should I take, tell me from these three wired earphones? 1. MI Dual Driver Earphone 2. OnePlus Nord Earphone 3. Realme Buds 2 Earphone I want good sound quality and voice call quality and vocals should also be good and fitting should be good while running and bass quality should also be good. If you were alive, which one would you have selected or chosen?
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.
That seems odd. Consider resetting your unit. The instructions should be in the literature about how to follow through. If thames continue to do the same thing, it's worthwhile getting in touch with customer care. It should be carrying your voice over more than the background noises, as you can see from the call quality demo.
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.
@@PaulsPOV i guess am going with the enco buds 2. and thanks for the advise tho, u are like one of the first RU-vidrs that really react too his viewer questions. And thats like a great plus point so keep up the great work mate. And love ur videos sir, the amount of information u giving is very helpful.
Do the buds fall out of the case without a roof? I know that there are magnets but it looks like it would fall out after bumping around in my pockets/falling places
They're strong enough for most bumps and bangs and shouldn't fall out. If they're in a bag they can get plucked out with something else since there's no lid. Should be fine in a pocket.
@@PaulsPOV I reckon it might become annoying for me eventually, I might go for the JBL endurance race TWS ones because they seem to have no flaws and look really good
I remember the Salnotes having a good bass response. The KZ ZSN Pro X also performs well with its bass, but I haven't had a chance to do any A-B listening between the two. I think you'll most likely prefer the Salnotes bass response and overall delivery.
Hey paul how are you? Just wan a share you something i bought jbl 230NC just 2 weeks ago everything is good i m happy with the product specially battery backup but in jbl app the case battery precentage is not showing may i know why what’s the reason I already did factory reset also
How many hours of usage are you getting from them? I just checked my set, it only updates the case battery life in the app if both buds are in the case and the lid is open. But the case battery life does show...it only updates when the buds are inserted to close that circuit. Software Earbuds v3.4.0 Case v1.2.2 (Software up to date) - it states. Are yours also on the same software version?
@@PaulsPOV my also mention same thing in a app case battery precentage will indicate when both earbuds inside and lid opened but when i did what mention in the app but still not showing anything
That's very odd, but the good news is, you have a one year warranty on the product. So it's worthwhile giving JBL customer support a call and finding out what the issue could he and if they can sort it out for you.
@@PaulsPOV i bought this product from india i mean one of my friend brought me from there but i m staying in dubai i saw here is one shop of jbl so do you know can i claim my warranty here
Great detailed review as always! Paul Can you please suggest me a tws which best suits for Acapella music with details in the highs? And has good stage and virtical stage as well? Within 10k price range!!
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 !
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.
No one else is going to reply to comments 🤣 Let me know how your audio journey goes. I hope you have fun. I'm thinking of making a video about TWS vs IEMs sometime. That may get you a little more inquisitive about the audiophile hobby.
Hey there, great video! I am deciding between these ones and the jbl tune 230, i feel like maybe the tune 230 may have better bass quality? Which do you think are better? I enjoy pure bass and noice cancelation. Thanks in advance!
Do these last long? I used to have different JBL ones but they lost their sound after a year even tho the lights still indicated that they were still turned on.
That's very odd. I have had one JBL product for over a year, which is the JBL 230 NC. It still performs pretty well. There are people who have faced issues, no doubt. Not every product holds 100% well in the long run.
I havent tested the 130NC so won't be able to comment on it. Between the other two, the 230NC is a more premium sounding set to own for sure. This video below should give you a little more clarity about them. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-02oj56RyONs.html Feel free to give my indepth reviews on them a look as well.
@@PaulsPOV Aren't 130nc and 230nc almost same with just different build? Also, oppo enco air 2 pro has got comparatively more positive reviews on the internet. Damn it's quite confusing I just cannot decide if I should really invest 6k and will I look stupid if relatively cheaper tws offer better quality. Please suggest me one I mostly listen to podcasts, watch movies and like metal music.
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.
@@PaulsPOV Thanks for the reply but I'm going for jbl as I never liked those Chinese brands with weird names. Their features seem gimmicky too, I don't like much bass and I surely don't want a girl to sound like a man when I listen to someone speak through my earphones. Please do tell me if ANC on JBL 230nc is okay if not the best, i just don't want to hear the random screeching noises those tables and chairs make in a study room.
Hey Paul. Here my complete review I'm using JBL tune 230 since 7 months it's work amazing 💗 OMG the sound quality 👌battery backup 👍 😍 sound better & Lauder even it has 6 mm driver i don't know how as compared to 10 / 12 mm driver shocking 😱 😘 ANC 👍 BASS ❤️ special audio effect 🔥 the app control by JBL🤘 everything perfect product it's works best with iphone 13 🌟 and Asus 5z 🤳 My personal rating 9 ⭐out of 10 and why losing 1 point the answer is there no multi connection setup but it's not major issue
@@PaulsPOV I have expirienced that! and it broke too. For me it was the right one (right bud lol). Im using warranty to change them for either the JBL Endurance Race, the JBL Wave Buds or wait and argue for them to give me another tune 230. What would you guys recommend?
It broke? How did that happen? The wave buds are a nice set to own minus the ANC and clarity in sound compared to the 230NC. Ideally, JBL should replace these faulty units that have one bud not charging. I dont know why they aren't doing that
@@PaulsPOV At first i noticed a slight downgrade on the volume level of the right bud, then it started to not turn on whenever i opened the case (i had to close and open until it recongized that it had to turn on). When i realized, that bud sounded like a cheap airplane earphones, and i did not throw them from a cliff or anything . I thought it was a water related problem but with what you mention, i guess it wasnt.
