In the fiercely competitive ₹5,999 segment, JBL’s Tune Beam 2 emerges as a surprisingly polished contender. True to JBL’s mid-range legacy, these earbuds deliver punchy sound, effective smart features, and serious stamina, all without blowing a hole in your wallet.

The Tune Beam 2 follows the familiar “short-stem” TWS look but keeps it simple with a clean plastic finish and shiny accents on the touch panels. Available in black, white, and teal, the matte case stays fingerprint-free and easily slides into a pocket. Thanks to an IP54 rating, the earbuds are ready for dusty commutes and sweaty workouts.

Fit is comfortable out of the box, and the three sizes of silicone tips help lock in a good seal, critical for both passive isolation and effective ANC.

Straight out of the box, the 10mm drivers pump out JBL’s signature Pure Bass and Spatial Sound magic. The tuning leans slightly bass-heavy, but the mids and highs stay surprisingly clean, making it a fun listen across genres. If you love tweaking, the JBL Headphones app unlocks EQ settings, Personi-Fi 3.0 personalisation, and gesture customisation, a lot more control than you’d expect at this price.
