Listen Up! The Noice-Cancelling JBL Tune Buds Are Just $45 Right Now

This is your chance to save a whopping 55% off a new pair of wireless earbuds.

A new pair of wireless earbuds can upgrade your music-listening game. The same goes for fans of podcasts and audiobooks, and you don’t always have to spend big money to get some great features, either.

Today it’s your chance to pick up a pair of JBL Tune Buds with active noise-canceling technology for just $45. And if that sounds cheap, it’s because it is — these earbuds normally sell for $100. I’m not sure how long this deal will last for, so make sure you shop sooner rather than later if you are interested.

This price is available on the black and white versions, while an extra few dollars will get you the blue one if that’s more your style. All of these earbuds are the same on the inside, though, so just pick the color that best fits your look and budget.

In terms of features, the active noise cancelling tech is the standout, with a smart ambient sound feature also available for those times that you need to hear your surroundings.

Connectivity is taken care of by Bluetooth 5.3 low-energy support, and the built-in mics make these earbuds a solid option for taking calls and joining online meetings.

Battery life is strong at up to 48 hours per charge, while a single 15-minute top-up will get you an additional four hours of playtime.

Why this deal matters

It can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that you have to buy the latest AirPods Pro 3 to get top-notch features, but that isn’t always the case. These earbuds are now available for around $200 less than Apple’s, and that’s money you can use elsewhere instead. Just make sure to order your JBL Tune Buds soon before this deal ends.
