In-ear headphones are inserted directly into the ear canal. The resulting pressure chamber effect allows for a powerful sound experience without needing to turn the music up too loud. This is gentle on your ears and also extends the battery life of your playback device. Additionally, in-ear headphones have excellent noise-canceling properties, significantly reducing the perception of distracting ambient sounds. Thanks to their compact size, they can be easily stored in any pocket, making them the ideal companion for on-the-go. This semi-open headphone offers a compromise between closed and open designs, providing both spatial sound and a degree of sound isolation both externally and internally, positioning itself between the two main designs.

The high-quality ear buds offer a clean and intelligible sound image and sit comfortably on the ear. However, the bass advertised by the manufacturer remains discreetly in the background.

- Bass
- Fast charging mechanism
- Volume control must be done on the unit
JBL's Tune 225TWS are a great addition. Highly functional, well equipped and the great sound are the plus points of the affordable sound-phone combo.
- Good battery life
- Design
- Insulation against environmental noise
With the Tune 22TWS, JBL presents us with a pair of shapely True Wireless earphones that impress with their beautiful design, good battery life and stable audio performance. The rather low isolation against environmental noise can be problematic in noisy environments, but the fact that earphones perform less well here than in-ears should not surprise anyone.
