What we like about JBL Tune 310C

  • Affordable price and excellent value for money
  • Hi-Res Audio certification with clear treble and deep bass
  • Built-in DAC improves audio quality over standard wired connections
  • Three built-in EQ presets (Default, Bass, Vocal) toggleable via remote
  • Tangle-free flat cable design for easy storage
  • Lightweight and generally comfortable for long-term wear
  • USB-C connectivity offers wide compatibility with modern devices

What we don't like about JBL Tune 310C

  • Prominent cable noise (microphonics) when moving
  • Inconsistent long-term durability; some reports of one side failing
  • Plastic build feels somewhat fragile
  • Microphone quality is considered average or poor by some users
  • Lack of waterproofing makes them unsuitable for intense workouts
  • Weak passive noise isolation
  • Fit can be unstable for some ear shapes, causing them to fall out

Verdict

The JBL Tune 310C is a pair of Hi-Res Audio certified, wired in-ear headphones featuring 9mm dynamic drivers and a built-in DAC for superior digital sound quality. They offer a frequency response of 20Hz–40kHz, 16-ohm impedance, and a 98dB sensitivity, delivering the signature JBL Pure Bass sound. Main characteristics include a 1.2m tangle-free flat cable, a USB-C connector for modern device compatibility, and an in-line three-button remote with a microphone that toggles between three EQ presets (Default, Bass, Vocal). Pros include its lightweight 14.3g build, affordable high-resolution performance, and zero-latency wired connection suitable for gaming. Notable cons are the lack of water resistance, noticeable cable noise during movement, and the absence of active noise cancellation.
