Why we love this deal

We love a good deal on some nice new headphones all year long, but if you’re doing some holiday shopping or browsing for great deals on new electronics right now, retailers like Amazon have plenty to offer. And who wants to go through life without a little music or a good book at their fingertips? If you need active noise cancellation, you can find a good deal on a pair of headphones with ANC; if you need supreme audio fidelity at a budget-friendly price, you ought to be able to find that, too.

But if you just need some great all-arounders at a fantastic price to match — say, a new pair of JBL Tune Flex Wireless Earbuds with Active Noise Cancelling — Amazon has the perfect deal for you. Normally priced at $100, the JBL Tune Flexes can be had for just $40 as of this writing. That’s a whopping 60% off, or $60 in this instance. It’s hard to beat the value here.

Why do shoppers love it?

Shoppers can be picky about their headphones — especially when you’re looking at the $100 range — but reviewers have plenty of great things to say about the JBL Tune Flex earbuds. The touch controls are responsive and intuitive to operate, but they’re not so sensitive that you’re going to bump them with your pillow and change them accidentally. The sound quality is excellent, especially when making use of the flexibility of the EQ presets and dedicated music mode. And they’re plenty comfortable thanks to the inclusion of three different sizes of earcaps.

“I’m very happy with these headphones,” one reviewer wrote. “The sound quality is excellent; I’d expect no less from the JBL brand. They offer crisp treble, solid bass, and make even phone calls sound pleasant. They’re also very comfortable to the ear, even after hours of use, and they don’t slip around when I’m moving. The battery life is impressive, lasting a long time on a single charge, and the charging case makes it easy to keep them powered all day long. Overall, these headphones offer excellent value for your money, with an excellent balance of performance, comfort, and reliability.”

Details to know

Sizes available: All three sizes of eartips (small, medium, and large) are included.
Color options: black, blue, and white.
Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.2 (no headphone jack).

Enjoy JBL Pure Bass Sound with 12-millimeter audio drivers, Smart Ambient technology, Ambient Aware, sealed tips, and more. These Tune Flex earbuds offer up to 32 hours of continuous playback, or 24 hours with noise cancellation enabled, and they’re loaded with calling features like VoiceAware and a set of four microphones to make them as useful for work as they are for leisure. With IPX4 water resistance, they’re also well-protected from sweat, precipitation, and splashes, so you can enjoy them just about anywhere.

The earcaps come in three selectable sizes — effectively small, medium, and large — while the earbuds themselves are available in black, blue, and white, without any change in price from one color to the next. If you’re wondering what the drawbacks are, you may be annoyed to learn that they don’t feature a headphone jack, for example, but must be connected to your devices wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.2. And you’ll have to use the charging case to power on and connect them; you can’t do that with the companion app.
