JBL Tune 310C - Wired Hi-Res in-Ear Headphones, Tangle-Free Flat Cable, 3-Button Remote with Microphone (Black)

I tried out and returned several different headphones before settling on these. These work and sound great! Very comfortable and easy to use. Great quality, even though I had to replace them after a short time. I have a bad habit of catching the cord on things when I come home from my walk and don’t unplug them from my phone/take them out of my pocket so I damaged them several times before I had to buy new ones- but I didn’t hesitate to buy these again!

I have gotten into JBL recently in 2024 I have some of their wireless earbuds but I was looking for some wired earbuds because I tend to use my wireless earbuds and not charge them so I got these in case my wireless earbuds don’t have any charge and these wired earbuds sound so good they have a nice sound quality to it, it feels good to the ear and when you connect it to a usb-c device it has a strong grip as well makes you use some of your strength to take it out! has a nice bass to it as well and the volume control works so well as well!

Quick SummaryThe JBL Tune 310C earbuds are a great value for those seeking affordable, plug-and-play wired headphones. They deliver solid sound quality with a bass-heavy profile, work seamlessly across multiple devices, and handle high-resolution audio well on platforms like Tidal and Apple Music. The controls, including playback and volume, work well, but phone calls were not tested. However, they aren't ideal for running or intense workouts due to noticeable cable noise and limited cable length. For casual listening and stationary workouts, they perform well for the price.JBL Tune 310C Review: In lengthThe JBL Tune 310C earbuds, in my opinion, are a great value option for anyone looking for simple, plug-and-play wired headphones. I tested them with four devices: a Pixel 6a, Samsung A25, Pixel 9, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. On all of these devices, the headphones worked flawlessly—no extra apps, configurations, or tweaks required. I just plugged them in, pressed play, and got exactly what I expected out of them.Sound QualityThe sound quality is solid for the price especially on sale, but I do have a few gripes. Out of the box, these earbuds are very bass-heavy. While this is fine for apps with adjustable equalizers it becomes an issue for standard Android and iOS users using self libraries, where there are no built-in sound configuration options.For reference, I tested with Tidal, Spotify, and Apple Music. On Tidal and Apple Music, I was able to achieve 24-bit 192kHz playback, which really showcased the earbuds' capabilities when listening to high-quality tracks, like John Williams' compositions. Unfortunately, Spotify doesn’t support this quality, so the earbuds feel a bit wasted there compared to Bluetooth alternatives.Controls and PerformanceThe inline controls on the earbuds worked well for playback and volume adjustments during my testing. I didn’t test phone call functionality, so I can’t comment on call quality, but everything else performed as expected.There are a few trade-offs when compared to Bluetooth earbuds. The cable transfer noise is noticeable when the wire bounces around. While it’s not deal-breaking, it does make these earbuds unsuitable for running or high-intensity calisthenics. However, if you’re weightlifting or in more stationary positions where the cable isn’t moving too much, you’ll get by just fine.One issue I ran into was the cable length. I wish it were about 6 inches longer. While using an arm band helped, when I kept my phone in my gym shorts pocket, the earbuds got yanked out of my ears more often than I’d like. It’s not a huge issue, but it’s worth noting.Durability and Sweat ResistanceI can’t speak to the long-term durability of these earbuds just yet, but I did test them during a 3-hour workout session, and they held up without any issues. I didn’t notice any immediate problems related to sweat resistance.Final ThoughtsFor the price and sound quality, the JBL Tune 310C earbuds are an easy buy if you want something that just works and sounds great and won't break the bank and modern one cable solution. While the heavy bass and cable noise might not make them perfect for everyone, they are excellent for casual listening, hold up okay not great but enough for flights or stationary workouts. If you don’t need or want or can't afford the wireless convenience of Bluetooth earbuds, these offer a lot of value for their price.

Pretty decent sound for their price range. I personally wish it had a little more bass but I don't hold that against them. I also like the flat tangle-free cable.

Not bad for use in the office. Unfortunately for the promotion of bass it still doesn’t have very much. Yet for the lower price point I guess you can’t expect stunning sound. Comfortable in the ear and the volume controls are nice and easy.

Amazing headphones for an awesome price. Very comfortable as well.

At the beginning they were working good, but after only 5 months the right side wasn't working... So durability is not bad, the mic quality was OK.

It is very good, does not look silly when doing telehealth or conference, and the microphone is very clear without passing too much background noise. The sound is crisp, with tons of base (JBL!!!), and comfortable for hours. I would love a cable with a more solid feel and maybe 12 inches more in length so I don't have to have my laptop so close.
