The JBL Tour Pro+ TWS True Wireless are in-ears designed for business professionals. They have an active noise cancelling (ANC) system that offers good overall performance, especially if you're trying to block out chatting coworkers. They also have a neutral sound profile, and while they lack a bit of low-bass, you can customize them to your liking using their companion app's parametric EQ and presets. On the downside, their roughly four hours of continuous playback time is fairly short, and their integrated mic offers a sub-par recording quality.
Our Verdict
The JBL Tour Pro Plus are good for neutral sound. They have a very neutral sound, although they lack a bit of low-bass. A dip in the mid-mid also pushes vocals and lead instruments to the back of the mix. However, they have a less-than-immersive passive soundstage due to their closed-back, in-ear design.
- Comfortable and well-built design.
- Parametric EQ and presets available.
- Bad passive soundstage.
The JBL Tour Pro Plus are good for commute and travel. Thanks to their ANC, they can block out a fair amount of noise like the low rumble of bus or plane engines. They also have a comfortable, well-built design, and their small size makes it easy to put them in most pockets or bags. However, their roughly four hours of continuous playback time may not be enough for long trips.
- Comfortable and well-built design.
- ANC with good noise isolation performance.
- 4.2-hour continuous battery life.
The JBL Tour Pro Plus are great for sports and fitness. They have a comfortable, breathable fit, and thanks to their stability fins, they should stay in your ear during moderate physical exercise. They also have an IPX5 rating for water resistance, but we don't currently test for that.
- Comfortable and well-built design.
- Stable fit.
- 4.2-hour continuous battery life.
The JBL Tour Pro Plus are decent for office use. They have a comfortable, breathable fit, and their ANC can block out office chatter around you. However, their continuous playback time of just over four hours may not be enough to get you through your shift without pausing to recharge them.

- ANC with good noise isolation performance.
- 4.2-hour continuous battery life.

The JBL Tour Pro Plus aren't recommended for wireless gaming. While you can connect them to a Bluetooth-enabled PC, the latency is likely to be too high for gaming. They also aren't compatible with PlayStation or Xbox consoles.
The JBL Tour Pro Plus are Bluetooth-only headphones that can't be used on a wired connection.
The JBL Tour Pro TWS are fair for phone calls. Their integrated mic does a sub-par job of recording your voice, so you sound unnatural. The mic also struggles to separate your voice from moderate background noise, which may be a problem if you're taking a call from a busy street. Luckily, their ANC cuts down a good amount of noise so that you can focus on your call.
- Comfortable and well-built design.
- ANC with good noise isolation performance.

Popular Headphones Comparisons
The JBL Tour Pro Plus are in-ears designed for business professionals. They're similar in overall performance to the JBL CLUB PRO+ TWS True Wireless but now come with five differently-sized ear tips and stability fins. They can block out a good amount of ambient noise around you, although their passive capabilities outweigh their ANC system beyond the bass range. On the downside, their continuous battery life of just over four hours is short and probably won't get you through a long day at work without recharging them again.
