The well-known brand of audio devices JBL also has One foot on the compact wireless audio, the one that surrounds the mobile ecosystem with the famous TWS surname that indicates that we are talking about really small headphones that hide (almost) completely in our ear. Except for the cane-shaped models, we accept that.
The brand has put into circulation three new active noise canceling headphones added to their catalog starting from 99.99 euros in two of its models. The JBL Reflect Flow PRO arrive at the highest level and the JBL Tune 130 and JBL Tune 230 TWS at a lower step.
This is what the new JBL releases are like
We start with the JBL Reflect Flow Pro and its active noise cancellation that also automatically adapts to our environment thanks to the Smart Ambient function. The headphones promise about 30 hours of playback in total (10 hours for the headphones and another 20 hours thanks to two charges in the carrying case) without active cancellation and about 20 hours with active cancellation.
The Reflect Flow Pro have 6.8 mm drivers, six microphones in total (two directional, one for wind suppression and the rest external) and IP68 certification against dust and water that makes them virtually submersible. The brand indicates that they also support salt water, by the way. The Reflect Flow Pro are compatible with Bluetooth 5.0 and hit the market for 179.99 euros.
In addition to the Reflect Flow Pro, JBL puts on the market the new Tune 130NC and 230NC with few differences between them. The 130NC have 10 millimeters drivers compared to the 5.8 millimeters of the 230NC while both offer 40 hours of playback (10 + 30) with cancellation off and 32 hours (8 + 24) with active cancellation. Both have Bluetooth 5.2 and IPX4 support against splashes of water, making them ideal for sports by withstanding sweat.
The two headphones implement the Smart Ambient to detect ambient sound and adapt the sound inside the ear, in addition to fast pairing thanks to the Google Fast Pair. Both headphones have touch control and come at the same price, 99.99 euros.
