1. Appearance​


The front rendering of the new JBL TUNE 130NC TWS headphones uses a three-dimensional physical map with excellent texture. This headset is currently available in 4 new colors, namely Obsidian Black, Desert Rose, Pearl White and Deep Sea Blue. The color we got this time is rose color, which is fashionable and compact, with fresh color matching, which is more suitable for young groups who are pursuing fashion.

In addition, the hollow design on the back allows us to directly see the body of the headset, and some key parameters are printed on the back. For example, the battery life, when only Bluetooth is turned on, is 10 hours of earphones and the charging box provides an additional 30 hours of battery life. After the noise reduction is turned on, the battery life of the earphone is 8 hours, and the earphone charging box can provide an additional 24 hours of battery life.

When we opened the package, we saw that the JBL TUNE 130NC true wireless noise-cancelling headphones provided users with two additional pairs of silicone earplugs of different specifications, as well as an orange dazzling Tpye-C charging cable.

The charging compartment of the JBL TUNE 130NC earphones is very cute. The front of the headphone compartment is a large "JBL" brand LOGO, which is highly recognizable. In terms of earphone shape, the elongated earphones are more ergonomically designed, which can fit our ear canal well and are not easy to fall off. And the headset also supports IPX4 level waterproof, which is convenient for users to wear when exercising.

Active Noise Cancellation:
The headset also supports the function of active noise reduction, and users can turn on and off the left ear with a single click. We chose two scenarios, office and commuter subway, respectively, for actual experience.

First of all, in the office environment, the ambient noise at this time is about 55dB. After wearing both headphones, turn on the noise canceling function. The headphones can basically filter most of the low-frequency noise, especially the rumbling sound of the central air conditioner, and the noise reduction effect is still very obvious. When the volume of the music is turned on to about 30%, the surrounding ambient sound is basically inaudible.

The overall experience on the commuter subway is still very good. First of all, most of the low frequencies are well filtered, and part of the mid and high frequencies can be heard. On the subway, the volume of the headphones needs to be turned up to between 50-60%, so that the surrounding sound can not be heard at all. When the noise reduction is turned on and the music is not turned on, the sound of the station announcement can still be heard. In general, the noise reduction performance of this headset is sufficient for most daily use scenarios, especially commuting.

Sound quality:
In terms of sound quality performance, JBL TUNE 130 NC headphones inherit the excellent bass effect of JBL, which is very suitable for listening to music. The actual sense of hearing is very good, and the sound of various drums and bass can be restored very well.

3. Summary​
