Our Verdict

Beats Studio Buds True Wireless

JBL Tune Flex True Wireless

The JBL Tune Flex Wireless are better than the Beats Studio Buds True Wireless. The JBL have a more neutral, versatile default sound profile and an app with sound customization features. They also have a longer continuous battery life and an auto-off timer to save power. However, the Beats have a quick pairing feature that works with Android and iOS. They support Apple's Spatial Audio feature, which works with apps like Apple Music and is meant to create a more immersive listening experience.
