Regrettably, I found it challenging to achieve a proper fit with the JBL Tune Buds — and it seems I’m not the only one. User reviews on Amazon frequently cite fit issues as the primary drawback of the JBL Tune Buds. If the earbuds do not fit well in your ears, they will frequently slip out of your ear canal, significantly detracting from the overall experience.

How do you operate the JBL Tune Buds?

The tap controls located on the exterior of each earbud manage listening modes, music playback, call answering, and more. However, I opted to disable the tap controls to avoid accidentally triggering an action whenever I adjust the fit of the earbuds in my ears.
