JBL Wave Beam 2 Features
You know the JBL Wave Beam 2 specs and can now assume what these earbuds offer. Let’s move forward with the review for a deeper understanding.
Fairly Good Design
We found that the design features green lights on the back of the earbuds, which blink to show they are activated, and blue lights on the case, which turn on when it’s on charging. Other than this, the design of these earbuds is pretty simple. They are made of plastic, look similar to other regular earbuds, and don’t have a brand logo.
Active Noise Cancellation
One of the major JBL Wave Beam 2 features is active noise cancellation. Due to this feature, you can enjoy music without any interruptions. Smart Ambient – one of the best features of JBL Wave Beam 2 – allows you to control how much of the outside world you hear. This means, now, you don’t need to take off your earbuds to talk to others or stay aware of your surroundings.
App Control for Convenience
These earbuds can be controlled with the JBL Headphones app. That means you can control the EQ for the audio quality that suits your taste. These earbuds also support voice prompts to inform you whether the battery is running low and in different modes, which we love in these earbuds. We also liked the 5 peaceful sounds of JBL Wave Beam 2. You can find sounds like crackling wood fire and gentle ocean waves relaxing your mind.
Decent Battery Life
The 50 mAh battery per earbud and 550 mAh case offer 40 hours of playback time, which is quite impressive. Earbuds alone offer 10 hours of battery life, while the case offers 30 hours. If you don’t have time to recharge your earbuds fully, 10 minutes of charging with a USB-C cable gives 3 hours of playtime with ANC off.
JBL Wave Beam 2 is a great set of earbuds but definitely has a few shortcomings, such as its stylish design. But those you consider sound quality can definitely purchase these earbuds. Moreover, these earbuds are water and dust-resistant, which is important for electronic products. JBL Wave Beam price is approx Rs 4,500, which can be costly for some people. But these earbuds also offer nice features so it’s worth paying. If you still can’t look for some affordable options, you definitely can. Just don’t compromise with your music listening experience.
