JBL announced eight new Tune headphone models for 2026 at CES: the 780NC, 680NC, 730BT, 530BT, 530 Wired, 530C (USB-C), 235BT, and 135BT. These models fall into four clear tiers, ranging from premium noise-canceling options to entry-level earbuds.
At the top of the lineup are the Tune 780NC and 680NC, which introduce active noise cancellation to the Tune series. The 780NC uses 40mm drivers, while the 680NC opts for slightly smaller 32mm drivers. Both support Bluetooth 6.0 with multipoint connectivity and LE Audio using the LC3 codec, offering better sound quality and efficiency than SBC. Battery life is rated at up to 76 hours, and call quality is improved via dual beamforming microphones.
The mid-range models include the Tune 730BT and 530BT. The 730BT features 40mm drivers and supports Bluetooth 6.0 with LE Audio and the LC3 codec. The 530BT uses 33mm drivers but is limited to the standard SBC Bluetooth codec.

For users who prefer wired audio, JBL offers two options. The 530 Wired replaces wireless connectivity with a traditional cable and supports Hi-Res Audio. The 530C (USB-C) uses smaller 12.5mm drivers and adds IPX4 water resistance, an in-line three-button control with a microphone, and a USB-C connection.
At the entry level are the 235BT and 135BT. The 235BT includes 12.5mm drivers and IPX4-rated water resistance, while the 135BT uses smaller 8.6mm drivers. Both models offer up to 25 hours of battery life.
Pricing across the lineup ranges from $34.95 to $149.95. The entry-level 135BT and 235BT are set to launch in January 2026, with the remaining models arriving in June 2026.
