JBL Beam Tune 2 Looks And Delivers Like A Reliable TWS Earbuds
Last Updated:
JBL Beam Tune 2 is the latest TWS earbuds in the market priced under Rs 6000 and promises features like ANC, calling support and more.
JBL is a known name in the audio space and most of its focus is in the affordable to mid-range segment. The JBL Beam Tune 2 is another addition to its catalogue of products that try to punch above their weight, especially for the price. Most people looking for TWS earbuds need three things: reliable ANC, good sound output and decent battery life.
The design aspect does not feature much in their checklist and understandably so. But can the Beam Tune 2 priced under Rs 6,000 offer most of these basics and offer a compelling product? We tested the device for a week to give you the answer.
Keeping It Compact
The Beam Tune 2 has a compact form at least with the charging case which suggests JBL has given it a lot of thought while developing the product. You get the standard LED charging status next to the lid and the earbuds sit comfortably inside the case.
The JBL and Beam Tune 2 branding at the front and back, respectively is hard to miss and the textured finish makes us believe in its long-term durability. The USB C charging port sits at the bottom of the case which could have easily been accommodated on the side.
The earbuds have the ideal size and weight that can be worn for long duration, even though we highly recommend you to avoid that for health reasons. The buds have touch controls that activate with the voice message when you wear them.
Speaking of which, the earbuds are comfortable to wear and they do not threaten to fall off at any time. Having said that, the materials used on the buds can be slippery, especially when you take them out of the case.
What It Offers
The Beam Tune 2 supports ANC with varied levels that you can activate from the buds. It has some of the basic features covered for a TWS earbuds but in-ear detection is missing which could have been added. Gesture controls are also available and if you want to try them, the JBL Headphones app is the place to be.
The earbuds get 6 mics in total which is essential for calling purposes and JBL is ensuring that people have that available with the Beam Tune 2. You can even change the equaliser settings or activate spatial sound for different content and genre. So, yeah, the Beam Tune 2 has a loaded feature list and covers most of them.
How It Sounds
Does the Beam Tune 2 match its features with the right sound profile? Most people will like its balanced audio output which is neither too heavy on bass or loses out the mids to fit in the voices. The use of 10mm drivers did surprise us a bit but the results were positive.
The ANC levels are good as long as you are in an office space but venture out wearing them and you notice some noise creeping through. Even at the highest ANC settings those earbuds do a good job but not the best we've seen lately.
The use of three mics each means the calling quality is good and you can hear the person speaking or hearing quite nicely. The pairing of the device is also seamless, both for phones and laptops. And like we mentioned, not having in-ear detection means you have to wear the buds and play the content yourself which is not a real deal breaker.
Does It Last?
The charging case packs a 590mAh battery that is claimed to last for around 10 hours of playback with ANC enabled. We did not have a tough time with the Beam Tune 2 and got it running on a single charge for well over 8 hours and close to JBL's claimed figures.

You have support for fast-charging which gives you 4 hours of support with 15 minutes of charging. The full tank does take more than an hour and then runs long.
JBL Beam Tune 2 is a hard-core TWS earbuds for under 6,000 that everyone should consider if they are happy to stretch the budget. It gets ANC, a reliable option for calls and the battery life is decent. The compact design makes it easy to carry but not having in-ear detection feels like a con that needs to be highlighted.

Navy set to induct 1st of 16 desi shallow water craft on June 18
NEW DELHI: The Navy is now set to commission the first of the 16 specialised small warships, designed for anti-submarine warfare and low-intensity maritime operations along the coast, being built at Indian shipyards at an overall cost of Rs 12,622 crore. The first anti-submarine warfare shallow water craft, built by Kolkata-based defence shipyard Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) in collaboration with L&T Shipbuilders, will be commissioned as INS Arnala at Visakhapatnam in the presence of chief of defence staff General Anil Chauhan on June 18. The 77-metre-long craft, with a displacement of 1,490 tonne and equipped with state-of-the-art underwater sensors, is the largest Indian warship till now to be propelled by a diesel engine-waterjet combination. "The warship incorporates over 80% indigenous content and integrates advanced systems from leading Indian defence firms, including Bharat Electronics Limited, L&T and Mahindra Defence," an officer said.

Rs 21700 crore weapon: India to get much stronger as this project..., bad news for Pakistan, China due to...
Rs 21700 crore weapon: India to get much stronger as this project..., bad news for Pakistan, China due to... A leading Indian defence company — Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), known for making Akashteer — is once again making headlines by playing a crucial role in Project Kusha – an initiative to develop a powerful air defence system like the Russian-made S-400. The ambitious project aims to neutralise aerial threats like missiles, suicide drones, and aircraft attacks. Notably, Project Kusha is led by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). As a development partner, BEL is working closely with the DRDO and sharing its insights to the design and production of crucial subsystems like – radars and control systems. BEL Chairman and Managing Director Manoj Jain, during the company's March quarter earnings call, confirmed that BEL is jointly developing several components of Project Kusha. 'We are jointly developing many components of Project Kusha,' he said. Project Kusha: Prototype Phase To Begin Soon As per reports, the prototype phase of Project Kusha is likely to begin in the coming months with BEL is working to build the first working model within 12-18 months. Once developed, the system will undergo severe trials and testing which will take 1-3 years. A decision on the system integrator(s) is yet to be made. BEL expressed confidence in their selection, should the authorities opt for two integrators. Project Kusha is designed to fill the gap between India's MR-SAM (Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missile), and Russian-made S-400. MR-SAM has a range of 80 km, whereas S-400 covers up to 400 km. Project Kusha: Three Types Of Interceptor Missiles India plans to deploy a three-tiered missile defence system by 2028-2029. This system will comprise interceptor missiles with ranges of 150km, 250km, and 350km, intended for use by both the Indian Air Force and Navy. Project Kusha: Standout Feature Kusha's major feature includes its ability to intercept high-speed anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs) which can travel at speeds of Mach 7, as per a report by Project Kusha: High-Speed Naval Defence Project Kusha's key feature is a naval adaptation of the M2 missile, capable of intercepting anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs) travelling at speeds up to Mach 7 (approximately 8,645 km/h). This capability provides crucial protection for naval vessels against high-speed, sea-based missile attacks. Project Kusha: Strengthening India's Air Defence Another key feature of the project includes its ability to work smoothly with existing systems such as IAF's Integrated Air Command and Control System (IACCS) and Russian made S-400 missile system. Project Kusha can achieve an 80 percent single-missile kill rate. It can exceed 90 percent when using multiple missiles simultaneously. Once inducted, the system will enhance India's layered air defences against any aerial threat. Project Kusha: Budget-Backed and Battle-Ready It is worth mentioning that the project was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Security in 2022. The budget of the project was Rs 21,700 crore. The budget was sanctioned to build five squadrons for the IAF. Another major feature of the project is its naval version, which is capable of destroying anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs). With this the Indian Navy will have a powerful tool to protect its frontline warships. This new system will enhance the navy's defences by complementing existing systems like Barak-8 and the Naval Ballistic Missile Defence System, creating a more robust overall defence.
