JBL Vibe Beam
Score: 75/100
Btootos Wireless Earbuds
Score: 73/100Rankings
The JBL Vibe Beam are true-wireless earbuds delivering deep-bass sound and up to 32 hours of total playback with quick-charge capability. They lack active noise cancellation and have only a splash-resistant rating, which may limit use in heavy-sweat conditions. Ideal for casual listeners and gym-goers who prioritize bass and battery life.
Btootos Wireless Earbuds deliver a comfortable, secure fit with strong bass and IPX7 waterproofing, backed by a long 36-hour total battery life. Their ANC is weak, touch controls are finicky, and the charging case feels fragile. Best suited for budget-conscious active users who prioritize fit and battery over premium sound and features.
