Bag JBL’s Tune 720BT Wireless Headphones With a 76-Hour Battery for Just $70

Amazon is selling four different colors of these excellent headphones with a 22% discount — but only if you’re quick.

A pair of wireless headphones can make all the difference, whether you’re commuting or locking in at work. Being able to listen to your favorite music, podcasts and audiobooks anywhere, anytime is worth its weight in gold — but you don’t have to spend that kind of money to do so.

Right now, Amazon is selling the popular JBL Tune 720BT wireless headphones for just $70. That’s a $20 discount, and you don’t even have to enter any codes or clip any coupons to get it.

Plus, this deal is available on all four colors, but you’ll need to act fast. This is a limited-time offer, which means that I can’t vouch for how long it’ll last. I suggest ordering sooner rather than later.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

The JBL Tune 720BT headphones can run for up to 76 hours before you need to reach for the charger. When you do, a short 5-minute charge will have you up and running for around three hours.

JBL’s Pure Bass feature is present, so you can expect strong audio, while Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity means you won’t have to deal with messy cables or a spotty connection.

Other features include support for making hands-free calls, as well as the option to customize the audio using the free JBL Headphones app.

Why this deal matters

A great pair of headphones can make it easier to deal with the morning commute to work, among other things. Can you put a price on that? Probably, but why not make that price smaller? This deal does that, and you can even choose from some lovely colors, too.
