The JBL Wave Beam are true wireless earbuds designed for everyday use, offering deep bass sound, a comfortable and secure fit, long battery life, water and dust resistance, ambient awareness, and Bluetooth 5.0. Priced more affordable compared to high-end earbuds but don't come with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology.

JBL Wave Beam's ergonomic stick-closed design conforms well to ears providing a comfortable fit, the Ambient Aware and TalkThru modes also allow you to stay aware of your surroundings and also have a conversation without the need to remove the earbuds first.

Ingress protection ratings refer to the rating of protection given by an enclosure, against solids and liquids. The letters 'IP' are followed by two values The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to resistance against liquids (water).

Having a value of IP54, the JBL Wave Beam's rating is read as, the first value of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and the second value of 4 means that they can withstand low pressure spray similar to that of a shower head when tilted at 180° for 10 minutes. JBL Wave Beam have a weight of 8.8g . We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.

True wireless devices have no wires connecting any part of the device together, JBL Wave Beam are true wireless for this case since they have no wires. This is an important difference since wireless earbuds have wires connecting the 2 earbuds together. JBL Wave Beam are resistant to sweat JBL Wave Beam have stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, this creates a richer sound and a better listening experience.

ANC utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. How it works, it studies the sound pattern of incoming noise and after inverts the soundwaves to cancel it out. In simple terms, it's like taking +1 (noise) then producing -1 (counter sound by the device) to make zero thus "diluting" the noise.



JBL Wave Beam have ANC enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, good for your ears as you don't have to crank up the earbuds volume to outcompete background sounds. The JBL Wave Beam sit tightly in place, this creates an acoustic covering that tones down your environment sounds well as preventing the earbuds sound from leaking out . JBL Wave Beam have a unit size of 8mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful, therefor producing better bass. The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the earbuds, its size dictates the loudness of the device.

The JBL Wave Beam's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, low-frequency response inidcates how well an audio device generates low frequencies that can be heard, and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. JBL Wave Beam's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response tells how well a particular audio device produces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal while at it. The sound pressure level, is the pressure level of sound, in decibels, dB, JBL Wave Beam's measurement is 100dB/mW.

Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. The JBL Wave Beam's battery life is 8 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often.

The battery life of the charging case is given by the vendor, and JBL Wave Beam's case is said to have a charge of 24 hours. A charging case with more battery hours allows you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. It requires 2 hours to fully charge the JBL Wave Beam's battery.

It is highly adivsable to fully charge the battery before using the earbuds when they have been unused for long periods. JBL Wave Beam have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging state of your earbuds and charging case.

The JBL Wave Beam have USB TYPE-C, a standard connector for transmitting both data and power through a single cable. The JBL Wave Beam have Bluetooth version of 5.2, Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data movement between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. JBL Wave Beam have a 10meters distance to connect via Bluetooth.

The JBL Wave Beam have 2 microphones. JBL Wave Beam use a noise-canceling type of microphone, these microphones are made to reduce noise from the desired sound. The JBL Wave Beam support ambient sound mode, which uses microphones to pass through ambient noises to still be heard even while wearing the earbuds When lost in a room, or can't easily find them in your bag, JBL Wave Beam have a find earbuds feature.

JBL Wave Beam support fast charging. Most often, technologies like MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to lower the amount of time it takes to fully charge the earbuds. JBL Wave Beam have a mute function, they support the feature to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the earbuds.

The JBL Wave Beam, so you can access the volume control, pause, play, mute, etc whichever functions are supported on the earbuds. JBL Wave Beam have voice prompts. With voice prompts, you receive information through audio messages, like if there is an issue with the connection.

The JBL Wave Beam come with their own special case. Carrying earphones openly, or placing them inside your pockets without a casing may easily put them at risk of getting damaged.
