They’ll see the charger once every three weeks

JBL promises up to 76 hours of listening on a single charge. At three hours a day, that works out to more than three weeks before the headphones ask for a cable. For calls, the manufacturer states 45 hours. And if the battery does run out, a five-minute charge is said by JBL to be enough for about five hours of music.

Inside, 40mm drivers tuned for more prominent bass, which JBL sells under the name Pure Bass, are at work. Those who don’t want them to be prominent can lower them with the equalizer in the JBL Headphones app. For calls, the headphones have two microphones with directional voice pickup.

Connectivity is newer. Bluetooth 6.0 with LE Audio support and connection to two devices at once mean you can have both a laptop and a phone paired simultaneously, and a call from your mobile will switch to the headphones even in the middle of a video on your computer. With Android and Windows, they pair via a pop-up window thanks to Google Fast Pair and Microsoft Swift Pair. However, LE Audio requires a phone that supports it – with older models, the headphones will run on classic Bluetooth.

You’ll have to get silence elsewhere

But for 894 Kč, you won’t get silence. The Tune 730BT do not have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), and ambient noise is only dampened by the closed earcups. This is sufficient in an office or on a tram, but the hum of engines on an airplane or long-distance bus will pass through them.

Those who want ANC must reach for a higher tier. The JBL Live 770NC headphones with adaptive noise cancellation now cost 1 874 Kč on Alza with a code, almost a thousand crowns more.

You won’t find a case or fabric pouch in the box. According to JBL, the package only contains the headphones and documentation, so you’ll charge them with your own USB-C cable. On Alza, the Tune 730BT have a rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 27 customers.

For commuting, not for airplanes

The Tune 730BT make sense for someone who wants branded headphones for daily commutes to work or school, for home office, and doesn’t want to charge them every week. They fold into a backpack, pair with both a phone and a laptop at once, and with code 2026ALZAEXTRA40, they cost 894 Kč on Alza. For frequent flying or working in a noisy open-plan office, it’s better to pay extra for a model with ANC.

Are headphones without ANC enough for your travels, or do you not buy without noise cancellation?
