None of the expensive ones are as good as this one.Quality:Sounds quality is amazing with 3 presets Comfort:Ear piece fits comfortably Value for money:Great priceDesign:The wires are designed to be tangle free and the ear plugs are designed to fit properly.Weight:Lightweight.

I recently bought these headphones and I’m really impressed with the sound quality. The bass is deep, the mids are clear, and the highs don’t sound harsh at all. They’re also very comfortable to wear for long periods, which is a big plus for me since I use them at work and at the gym.

Quick SummaryThe JBL Tune 310C earbuds are a great value for those seeking affordable, plug-and-play wired headphones. They deliver solid sound quality with a bass-heavy profile, work seamlessly across multiple devices, and handle high-resolution audio well on platforms like Tidal and Apple Music. The controls, including playback and volume, work well, but phone calls were not tested. However, they aren't ideal for running or intense workouts due to noticeable cable noise and limited cable length. For casual listening and stationary workouts, they perform well for the price.JBL Tune 310C Review: In lengthThe JBL Tune 310C earbuds, in my opinion, are a great value option for anyone looking for simple, plug-and-play wired headphones. I tested them with four devices: a Pixel 6a, Samsung A25, Pixel 9, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. On all of these devices, the headphones worked flawlessly—no extra apps, configurations, or tweaks required. I just plugged them in, pressed play, and got exactly what I expected out of them.Sound QualityThe sound quality is solid for the price especially on sale, but I do have a few gripes. Out of the box, these earbuds are very bass-heavy. While this is fine for apps with adjustable equalizers it becomes an issue for standard Android and iOS users using self libraries, where there are no built-in sound configuration options.For reference, I tested with Tidal, Spotify, and Apple Music. On Tidal and Apple Music, I was able to achieve 24-bit 192kHz playback, which really showcased the earbuds' capabilities when listening to high-quality tracks, like John Williams' compositions. Unfortunately, Spotify doesn’t support this quality, so the earbuds feel a bit wasted there compared to Bluetooth alternatives.Controls and PerformanceThe inline controls on the earbuds worked well for playback and volume adjustments during my testing. I didn’t test phone call functionality, so I can’t comment on call quality, but everything else performed as expected.There are a few trade-offs when compared to Bluetooth earbuds. The cable transfer noise is noticeable when the wire bounces around. While it’s not deal-breaking, it does make these earbuds unsuitable for running or high-intensity calisthenics. However, if you’re weightlifting or in more stationary positions where the cable isn’t moving too much, you’ll get by just fine.One issue I ran into was the cable length. I wish it were about 6 inches longer. While using an arm band helped, when I kept my phone in my gym shorts pocket, the earbuds got yanked out of my ears more often than I’d like. It’s not a huge issue, but it’s worth noting.Durability and Sweat ResistanceI can’t speak to the long-term durability of these earbuds just yet, but I did test them during a 3-hour workout session, and they held up without any issues. I didn’t notice any immediate problems related to sweat resistance.Final ThoughtsFor the price and sound quality, the JBL Tune 310C earbuds are an easy buy if you want something that just works and sounds great and won't break the bank and modern one cable solution. While the heavy bass and cable noise might not make them perfect for everyone, they are excellent for casual listening, hold up okay not great but enough for flights or stationary workouts. If you don’t need or want or can't afford the wireless convenience of Bluetooth earbuds, these offer a lot of value for their price.

Wow these sound great -- very transparent sound. The first thing I noticed is the high end sound very open and airy. The bass is not exaggerated as some would like to have it, but what I think I'm hearing is a very tightly controlled bass, sort of mirrors the way the high end is sounds very precise. With my iPhone 16 volume turned all the way up, I can't detect any distortion, so good on JBL for that. These great little earbuds are proof to me why I've always preferred the sound quality of wired versus Bluetooth.

I've been using these earbuds for almost 3 months now. For the first month or so they were great, however over the last 2 to 3 weeks, I've noticed some issues with them. They still sound great and feel good in the ears, but every so often the sound started to cut out. There seems to be an issue the the USB Plug. If I pull out the USB and the Place it back in to my phone, it will work fine. This happens randomly while using them. I don't think its my phone, since I've haven't experienced this with any other pair or USB C earbuds or any other thing plugged into my phone.The other day while on a walk, One of the function buttons stopped working. I am unable to start, stop or skip to the next song any longer. Today, the Volume up button stopped working. Only the Volume down still works.All these issues after only 3 month of use has me questioning the build quality of these earbuds. Maybe I was just sent a bad pair, but I would have a hard time recommending these to any one else looking for decent inexpensive USB C earbuds.

These work pretty darn good I must say. Bought these to sleep with at night cause my wireless headphones have interference with my G7 glucose monitor. Bought an adapter to charge my iPhone and run these at the same time. Set it all up and it works perfectly. And these little earbuds will jam!.

I got tired of using 3.5m to USB-C adapters and wanted a good USB-C headphone set and hoped this was the one. The fit, the sound quality, the price were all good. However, after going through 3 pairs, I'm done with them.First pair the right earbud stopped producing sound. I went through the refund process with JBL and it was rather smooth and got the second pair for no extra cost. The second pair however the right earbud came completely detached this was my fault for pulling too hard but I've never had this happen to any other set. So I didn't do the warranty and bought the third pair. Then after a few months... the right earbud went out, no sound. I could probably do the warranty on this one but I'm done with it.I wear the wires up through my shirt and do a lot of walks but that's it. I'm not kayaking or mounting climbing with these things. There's something wrong design wise with the right earbud. It might be a good choice if you are using them only at your desk or something.

Like another reviewer said, these won't last you longer than 3 months before the sound buttons/mic & right ear bud all go out. It's a pity because I prefer to use the wired headphones to limit the EMF exposure.
