JBL Vibe Beam 2 Review: The Ultimate Budget Noise Cancelling Earbuds?

Our JBL Vibe Beam 2 review breaks down why these budget earbuds are a game-changer. Featuring Active Noise Cancelling, 40-hour battery life, and JBL Pure Bass sound.

The JBL Vibe Beam 2 is a significant upgrade in the entry-level wireless earbud market, bringing Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) to a price point that was previously unthinkable. These earbuds are designed for users who want the reliable JBL Pure Bass sound without the premium price tag of the Live or Tour series.

Equipped with Smart Ambient technology, the Vibe Beam 2 allows you to stay aware of your surroundings or engage in quick conversations via TalkThru without removing the buds. With a total of 40 hours of battery life and a comfortable, ergonomic stick-closed design, they are built for all-day wear and long-distance travel. The inclusion of a 4-mic system ensures that your voice remains crisp and clear during hands-free calls, even in breezy environments.
