Like • Premium earbuds with sharp color touchscreen embedded in charging case to control playback and access key settings and features • Good sound, noise canceling and voice-calling performance • Robust feature set • Strong battery life • LE Audio compatible Don't like • Sound could be slightly better for the price • No head-tracking for spatial sound mode When JBL first announced its After testing the Tour Pro 2 buds for several days, I'd say the answer is a little bit of both. But before I dig into that dichotomy, I'm going to start with how the buds sound, perform and fit, which is what most people want to know about when buying earbuds. Powerful bass The JBL sound signature tends to accentuate the bass. Not to the point where it overpowers everything, but at their default setting, the Tour Pro 2s' bass is what jumps out at you along with a pretty wide soundstage. They exhibit decent clarity, but these aren't the most detailed sounding earbuds and can't quite measure up to some of the best-sounding buds like the Sony WF-1000XM4 deliver in terms...

I've been a contributing editor for PCMag since 2011. Before that, I was PCMag's lead audio analyst from 2006 to 2011. Even though I'm a freelancer now, PCMag has been my home for well over a decade, and audio gear reviews are still my primary focus. Prior to my career in reviewing tech, I worked as an audio engineer—my love of recording audio eventually led me to writing about audio gear. JBL’s products never seem to skimp on features, and the Tour Pro 2 A Secure Fit and Good Battery Life The stem-style Tour Pro 2 earbuds, which are available in black or champagne models, fit securely and ship with three pairs of silicone eartips. Their somewhat chunky enclosures house 10mm dynamic drivers that deliver a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz, with an impedance of 16 ohms. They are compatible with Bluetooth 5.3 and work with just the AAC and SBC (Credit: Tim Gideon) Each earpiece features a capacitive touch control panel and you can adjust the functions to a degree via the companion app. By default, a single tap on the left earbud switches between the ANC and Ambient Aware modes (you can add an Off option to this cycle), while the same gesture on the right controls playback. A double-tap on the left side toggles the TalkThru ambient mode or takes you to the next track on the right. Triple-taps don't do anything on the left earbud out of the box, but on the right it takes you to the previous track. A tap-and-hold on either earpiece summons your device's voice assistant. $279.95 ...

It’s shameful to admit that we spent much of the time before composing this review trying to think of puns revolving around the word “case”. After all, there’s no escaping the exciting novelty that JBL’s Tour Pro 2 bring to the party with their cute display that gives full touchscreen functionality from the front of the earbuds’ charging case. Gimmick or not, it’s something unique to Time will tell if that sort of thing catches on, and while such an innovation may be the first thing to grab your attention, we’re more concerned about high-quality sound than a touchscreen in a place we’ve never seen before. There’s little use in recommending a pair of This is the standard that the JBL Tour Pro 2 must live up to, and it’s a high one. At this price, there’s serious competition from the likes of (Image credit: What Hi-Fi?) The JBL Tour Pro 2 are as stylish and comfortable as you’d expect at this price. Some of our team had a little more trouble making a full seal, while others found these new earbuds nestled happily in their ears after a little perseverance. If you don’t manage to get a perfect fit first time, you may find yourself limited by the fact that JBL only offers three choices of ear tips to accompany its latest pair of wireless buds. General build quality, though, is good, and while the earbuds themselves aren’t particularly remarkable to look at, their ridged edge pattern and neat, short stems are far from offensive to the eye. That case is a lovely item, robust and ...

$249.95 View product I've used these sweatproof earbuds as my day-to-day headphones for about a month and they check all the right boxes — long battery life, above-average noise cancellation, and well-tuned, linear sound with quick, powerful bass punch. And then there's the eye-catching, headline-grabbing touchscreen case. I found it more useful and convenient than I expected — the case let me play, pause, and skip tracks, adjust volume, choose from different sound settings, select the level of noise cancellation or ambient sound, and more. I could swipe through a plethora of features and settings with my phone out of reach, plus keep tabs on the battery life at a glance. So, do you really need a touchscreen on the case? When I first laid eyes on the JBL Tour Pro 2's smart case, I admired its sleek, ultramodern look. But to be totally honest, I wasn't sure a touchscreen was entirely necessary. I mean, there is no shortage of screens in our lives already — and there are several ways to control these earbuds. JBL's smart case gave me touchscreen control over music, calls, noise cancellation, ambient modes, and sound presets out of the box — all before I downloaded the app to unlock more features. I became officially sold at an Outer Banks beach house when I was on vacation. One morning, I got up before all the kids, popped in the earbuds to listen to a podcast and made my coffee. Then I headed out to the deck to watch the sunrise over the ocean. I stepped out in the crisp ea...
