CES 2023, LAS VEGAS – January 4, 2023 – The JBL TUNE and JBL VIBE Series expands to now include three new true wireless style options - buds, open sticks and closed sticks for consumers looking to get more out of their audio experience with high quality sound and convenient features. For the ultimate listening experience, choose from the variety of ear tip options included in each package and access the JBL Headphone app to learn how to achieve the best seal and fit for all ear types.

“JBL lives at the center of innovation and style, and our new true wireless headphones deliver on both,” said Dave Rogers, President, HARMAN Lifestyle Division. “JBL is committed to pushing boundaries in the audio industry with design concepts and products that elevate the user experience through superior audio at an affordable price point.”

JBL TUNE Series

Engineered with JBL Pure Bass sound, the new JBL TUNE Buds, JBL TUNE Flex and JBL TUNE Beam feature Active Noise Cancelling with Smart Ambient technologies to allow listeners to control the amount of outside noise they want to allow in without removing the earbuds.

These true wireless headphones also support multi-point connection so users can seamlessly switch between Bluetooth devices as well as talk to their native voice assistants. Hands-free calling is simple with user-controlled sound on the earcup or in-line buttons, and crystal-clear audio from built in mics. JBL TUNE Buds and JBL TUNE Beam are outfitted with Bluetooth 5.3, enabling each earbud to independently synchronize audio streams, as well as seamlessly broadcasting audio streams to multiple listeners.
