Show up for the screen, stay for the premium earbuds

The JBL Tour Pro 2 earbuds include a touchscreen charging case that gives you control over music, noise cancellation, and more.

You could look at the JBL Tour Pro 2 earbuds in one of two ways: earbuds with a cool touchscreen case that happen to be terrific, or top-notch earbuds that happen to have a handy touchscreen case. Either way, the complete package is an all-around great choice for travel, work, workouts, and more. I've used these sweatproof earbuds as my day-to-day headphones for about a month and they check all the right boxes — long battery life, above-average noise cancellation, and well-tuned, linear sound with quick, powerful bass punch.

And then there's the eye-catching, headline-grabbing touchscreen case. I found it more useful and convenient than I expected — the case let me play, pause, and skip tracks, adjust volume, choose from different sound settings, select the level of noise cancellation or ambient sound, and more. I could swipe through a plethora of features and settings with my phone out of reach, plus keep tabs on the battery life at a glance.

Strong, reliable wireless connection

The initial pairing with my Android phone was straightforward. Once I was synched up, the earbuds would automatically connect as soon as I snapped open the case. You can use both earbuds together or one at a time in mono mode. And "multipoint connection" allows you to pair to two devices simultaneously — so you can move back and forth from your laptop and phone.

The earbuds connect to your devices via Bluetooth 5.3 — a newer, more reliable version of the popular wireless technology. At work, I could leave my phone on my desk and roam around our open-space office and down the long hallway without dropouts.

The JBL Tour Pro 2's built-in mics and processors also help ensure phone calls are clear.

Adaptable and effective noise-canceling circuitry

JBL uses a series of built-in mics and advanced algorithms to "read the room" then adjust the amount of noise cancellation in real time. Using my usual lawn mower test, I found the noise-canceling circuitry highly effective. I'd put it a notch below the top-tier level of the Bose QC Earbuds II and Sony WF-1000XM4s, but I was still able to mow the grass and listen to podcast conversations at low volume levels.

More on-the-go controls and mobile app

Along with the touchscreen case, there are a few other ways to control these earbuds. You have touch control on the earbuds themselves and the free, downloadable JBL Headphone app. It's available for Apple® and Android™.

The app gives you more fine control over noise cancellation, ambient modes, and sound settings. It also opens up more features, including JBL's Personi-fi 2.0. This personal sound calibration checks your fit and assesses your hearing profile, then tailors the sound accordingly.

Listening impressions: well-tuned sound with detail and thump

JBL has developed a distinct sound signature, honed over the years by exhaustive user testing. This special balance of frequencies known as the Harman Target curve has been scientifically proven to satisfy most listeners — and informs the sound of these headphones. Out of the box, the Tour Pro 2 offers an overall linear sound, with a touch of extra muscle in the bass.

These earbuds delivered enough thump to keep the head nodding through the hazy hip-hop accompaniment of El Michels Affair & Black Thought's "Miracle." Still, the emcee's flow blends seamlessly with the funk-fused boom-bap of the backing band. The bass had strong presence but wasn't overbearing. And I never got that dreaded "rapping over a backtrack" effect that you hear when certain frequencies are overemphasized.

Soaring sound for spatial audio, too

The JBL sound signature also worked well for Apple Music spatial audio tracks mixed for Dolby Atmos. On the epic Atmos mix of Henry Brandt's Ice Field, the sonic scope and directionality were uncanny.

JBL's "Spatial Sound" settings allowed me to add even more width to certain tracks.

Through low-profile earbuds, I was able to grasp the full magnitude of this sprawling symphony hall with orchestra members strategically placed around the building. JBL's accurate, linear tuning is crucial for delivering the proper sound localization cues for our ears and brains.

You pick up all those subtleties that give you a sense of the space, and "where" instruments and vocals are located. And the music doesn't have to be on a scale that grand. I was taken by the intimate Atmos mix of the debut boygenius record, particularly the Phoebe Bridgers-led track, "Emily I'm Sorry." Haunting harmonies occupy the bulk of the soundstage, while minimalist instrumentation fills in the gaps.

With these earbuds, the gentle, yearning, yet biting lead vocals dagger toward me from the center. When Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker join in, it's as if they're standing on either side of my head, turned 90 degrees. A chamber music effect on their voices helps stretch out the overall presentation, but still preserves the claustrophobic urgency and immediacy of the song.

Long-lasting battery life

You get about eight hours of listening and noise cancellation on a single charge, which is pretty strong battery life for true wireless earbuds. The case banks up to 30 hours of power to recharge the earbuds on the move. And to me, the ability to see the percentage of battery life left for each earbud and the case right on its screen was — yet another — game changer.
