In the current market of audio accessories there are not many variants in terms of headphone models, because if you want a more powerful and robust experience you will probably opt for a helmet-type design, while for greater portability aim for TWS, it\u00a0is say independent ends that eliminate all sorts of cables\u00a0in your setup.\u00a0Today it is the turn to talk about one of them with the name of\u00a0JBL Wave 300.<\/p>\n

JBL Wave 300 are mid-range wireless headphones\u00a0that respond not only to market trends but also to the manufacturer’s essence of combining\u00a0good technical features with a price that is accessible to most users.\u00a0The final result?\u00a0A very comfortable model to wear that will give you around six hours of uninterrupted playback.<\/p>\n

Comfort of use as a hallmark<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

JBL Wave 300 is also available in white<\/p>\n

The first thing that can be noted about this model is that you will not find eccentricities if you compare it with other headphones for sale in stores, either in its general aesthetics or in its available colors that include black and white versions.\u00a0However,\u00a0its maximum lightness and comfort of use for extended periods has allowed it to obtain the renowned “reddot design award”\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Among its benefits it can be indicated that the\u00a0JBL Wave 300 have a total weight of 7.7 grams each,\u00a0among the lowest figures in the industry, so you probably forget that you are wearing them after several hours, at a time that their\u00a0IPX2 certification makes them resistant to contact with water\u00a0so that if you are doing physical activity or it just starts to rain while you are away from home, you do not risk damaging them.<\/p>\n

In addition to the headphones, we appreciate the inclusion of a small circular case that is compact and light enough so that it does not take up much space or be uncomfortable if you take it with you during trips or simply keep it in your backpack or bag.\u00a0By not using the Wave 300 you can not only store it safely there but also recharge its battery automatically.<\/p>\n

As is logical in this type of option, the complete absence of cables leads to the\u00a0use of the Bluetooth 5.0 wireless standard\u00a0to synchronize with all types of mobile devices as well as computers and other equipment in a more efficient experience in signal stability as well as in consumption. energetic.\u00a0It is appreciated that it includes a\u00a0mono\/stereo function that allows you to enjoy the sound with both ends or only use one\u00a0to also be aware of your surroundings when you are on public roads.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the\u00a0JBL Wave 300\u00a0arrive with a built-in microphone so that you can make or receive voice communications directly without having to take your mobile out of your pocket, as well as automatically\u00a0activate the voice assistant such as Google Assistant or Siri to receive information\u00a0or execute voice commands in real time.\u00a0If you do not see buttons on the outside of the headphones, it is due to the presence of touch controls on its surface.<\/p>\n

Regarding the playback experience, there is a guaranteed sound power from some\u00a012 mm drivers incorporated as well as the house technology “JBL Pure Bass”\u00a0that optimizes the bass levels to gain repercussion in certain musical genres.\u00a0Unfortunately there is no presence of other features such as noise cancellation, but it is understood in its final contained price.<\/p>\n

Finally, for its battery an average autonomy of six hours of uninterrupted playback can be indicated\u00a0, in addition to its charging case that stores around 20 additional hours\u00a0so that you are able to fully recharge them at least three times before needing a power outlet. by hand.<\/p>\n

Comparison with JBL Tune 230NC<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

JBL Wave 300 last around six hours on a single charge<\/p>\n

A model from the same manufacturer that targets a similar audience is the\u00a0JBL Tune 230NC\u00a0, a version to seriously consider if you are one of those people who spends a large part of the day in crowded places or simply prioritize immersion in your music.\u00a0And it is that the addition of a total of\u00a0four microphones allows you to block outside noise thanks to the \u201cActive Noise Canceling\u201d technology with \u201cSmart Ambient\u201d\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Likewise, in the battery section they also have an interesting\u00a0autonomy improvement that is around 8 hours of playback with active noise cancellation or up to 10 hours in standard mode,\u00a0as well as support for fast charging (2 additional hours after only 10 minutes within their case) and the ability to recharge them up to three times completely.<\/p>\n
