JBL Vibe Beam
Score: 75/100
Kurdene Wireless Earbuds
Score: 75/100Rankings
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.
Kurdene S8 earbuds provide deep bass, ultra-light comfort and IPX7 water resistance with wireless charging. Drawbacks include a bulky case, less balanced mids/treble and variable fit for larger ears. Best for budget-conscious active users who prioritize lightweight design and long battery life.
