SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 17, 2025 – If your headphones are the one accessory you use every single day—on commutes, at your desk, in the gym bag, and late-night scrolling—JBL wants its refreshed Tune lineup to feel like a noticeable step up without turning into a luxury splurge. Presented in Garching, the new generation brings clearer model choices for different listening habits: two options focused on Adaptive Noise Cancelling (ANC) plus JBL Spatial Sound, and two more built around JBL Pure Bass for straightforward, budget-friendly everyday use.
Four Models, Two Clear Listening “Types”
JBL splits the new Tune family into two groups, which makes shopping (and gifting) a lot easier.
- JBL Tune 780NC and JBL Tune 680NC: built for quieter focus and a more immersive feel, combining Adaptive Noise Cancelling with JBL Spatial Sound.
- JBL Tune 730BT and JBL Tune 530BT: designed for daily listening with JBL Pure Bass, without the ANC-focused feature set.
All four are positioned as a style-and-comfort update too, with fresh colors and both on-ear and over-ear options depending on how you like your fit.
Tune 780NC and 680NC: Noise Cancelling Meets Spatial Sound
The Tune 780NC (over-ear) and Tune 680NC (on-ear) are the “shut out distractions” choices. JBL frames them as ideal for everything from concentrated work in a library to calls on a crowded train—basically, the real-life moments when you want your audio to stay yours.
Key highlights JBL calls out include:
- Personi-Fi 3.0 to tailor sound to your personal hearing profile
- Adaptive Noise-Cancelling plus Smart Ambient to adjust based on your surroundings
- Two beamforming microphones and JBL noise-reduction algorithms to help keep your voice clear on calls
Pricing is also clearly tiered: the Tune 780NC is listed at €129.99 (CHF 129.90), while the Tune 680NC comes in at €99.99 (CHF 99.90).
Tune 730BT and 530BT: Pure Bass for Everyday Value
For people who simply want strong, fun sound without overthinking it, JBL positions the Tune 730BT (over-ear) and Tune 530BT (on-ear) as the “best upgrade for the money” picks. Both focus on JBL Pure Bass and are pitched as a practical step up that doesn’t force compromises on quality.
Prices are set to be especially accessible:
- Tune 730BT: €79.99 (CHF 79.90)
- Tune 530BT: €59.99 (CHF 59.90)
Color options across the range include black, white, blue, and beige, and JBL adds that the Tune 530BT is also available in lavender—a small detail, but one that matters if you want your headphones to match your style instead of disappearing into it.
Editorial Extra: Quick “Which One Should You Buy?” Guide
- You want ANC + a more immersive vibe for work/commute: go Tune 780NC (over-ear) or Tune 680NC (on-ear).
- You want the best everyday sound-for-money: go Tune 730BT (over-ear) or Tune 530BT (on-ear).
- You prefer compact, lighter on-ear comfort: lean 680NC or 530BT.
- You want the “wrap-around” over-ear feel: lean 780NC or 730BT.
The Big Lifestyle Win: Long Battery and Easy Switching
Across the new Tune models, JBL emphasizes convenience features that actually show up in daily use: up to 76 hours of battery life, a speed-charge function, multipoint connection, an adjustable EQ, voice prompts, and call-focused mic performance. That mix fits a very modern “one device, many moments” lifestyle—music at the desk, calls in between, podcasts on the way home, and a playlist again later.
As HARMAN’s Carsten Olesen puts it: “JBL Tune is our best-selling headphone series – and for good reason,” said Carsten Olesen, President of Consumer Audio at HARMAN. “At JBL, our ambition is to bring innovation into every product, including our more affordable models. The JBL Tune series has earned a reputation for delivering great sound without a premium price, and has become a real favorite—especially among the younger generation.”
