How to Find Your Lost JBL Tune Buds in Minutes
The JBL Tune Buds are one of the best-selling budget earbuds globally, with their stem design closely mimicking the AirPods silhouette at less than half the price — but JBL offers absolutely zero find functionality in their Headphones app, not even a last-connected timestamp. Their IP54 rating provides decent dust and splash protection, so they'll likely survive being lost on a rainy sidewalk. EarBuddy detects their BLE 5.3 signal at a reliable 30 feet, and their 32-hour total battery life gives you a generous window to search before the signal dies.

Why JBL Headphones Can't Find Your Tune Buds
The JBL Headphones app has no find-my feature at all. There's no way to play a sound or see a last known location for Tune Buds.
Step-by-Step: Find Your JBL Tune Buds With EarBuddy
Your Tune Buds uses BLE 5.3, broadcasting at 2.4 GHz with a typical range of 30 feet indoors. With up to 8 hours (32 with case) of battery life, there's a good chance it's still transmitting. Here's how to track it down:
Open EarBuddy and start scanning for Bluetooth devices.
JBL Tune Buds emit a standard BLE advertisement signal.
Walk around the area where you last had them.
The radar will show signal strength increasing as you approach.
Search bags, pockets, desks, and couch cushions when signal is strongest.
