JBL Tour Pro 2

JBL's flagship wireless earbuds have high ambitions

In-ear headphones £250 whf.cm/TourPro2

Neat innovation or short-lived gimmick? That's the question we are asking about the touchscreen control panel on the charging case of the new JBL Tour Pro 2 wireless buds. Time will tell if the idea catches on but, either way, we are more concerned about high-quality sound than a touchscreen in a place we have never seen before.

At this price, there is serious competition from the likes of Bose's QuietComfort Earbuds II, Sony's WF-100XM4 and Apple's AirPods Pro 2, so - fancy charging case or not - the Tour Pro 2 have their work cut out.

Style and comfort

These in-ears are as stylish and comfortable as you would expect at this price. There are three size choices of ear tips, and while some of our team had a little trouble making a full seal, others find the JBLs nestle happily in their ears.
