JBL has unveiled its 2026 Tune headphone line-up at CES 2026, featuring two wireless entry-level models, two mid-range models, and two active noise-cancelling models, along with two wired models.
JBL has announced 2026 CES products with 8 tune headphone models: 780NC, 680NC, 730BT, 530BT, 530 Wired, 530C – USB-C, 235BT, and 135BT that can be grouped into 4 categories.
At the high end of the range the active noise-cancellation of the Tune line is introduced with the upper-end 780NC and 680NC models, which are priced at the high end. The latter has 40mm drivers and the former has 32 mm drivers. Both have a top rated power of up to 76 hours under charge. The headphones are Bluetooth 6.0 and support multipoint, LE Audio, which is based on the lower-power, better-quality LC3 codec, rather than SBC. They also have two beamforming microphones that minimise background noise when making calls.
The mid-range 730BT comes with 40 mm drivers and the 530BT comes with 33 mm drivers. The former has Bluetooth 6.0 and LE Audio and LC3 codec, where the latter is limited to the traditional SBC Bluetooth codec.
There are two models that are targeted at users who would like to use a cabled connection. The 530 Wired model replaces the wireless connection of the 530BT with a wired one to enable it to carry the Hi-Res Audio. The 530C – USB-C edition has smaller 12.5 mm drivers, and has added IPX4 rated water protection, a three-button in-line control with a mic and a USB-C cable.
There are two entry-level modesl that have the least features. The 235BT has 12.5 mm drivers with IPX4 water resistance and the 135BT has 8.6 mm drivers. They both have as much as 25 hours of charge time.
The wired and wireless models cost between $34.95 and $149.95. The new entry-level 135BT and 235BT will be offered in January 2026, the rest in June 2026. The 730BT had been mentioned earlier last November in Japan and was already in sale there.
