The JBL Tour One M2 nomadic headphones go under €200 at Boulanger.com i.e. a drop of about 33% on the price usually observed. It is currently one of our best value for money.
The Tour One M2 is the second iteration of JBL’s premium headphones. It embeds all the latest technologies from the American manufacturer: adaptive noise reduction, spatial audio, Smart Talk…
The spearhead of JBL’s range of mobile headphones, the Tour One M2 had to be exemplary. A successful bet since the helmet manages to rise to the level of the best on the market. High-level noise reduction, extreme comfort sensations, daunting autonomy, controlled sound reproduction… nothing is missing. Good job!

Weak points
- Coloration in the treble (slightly tight soundstage, nasal voices, etc.).
- Accuracy just correct mids / high mids.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
An alternative
The QuietComfort Special Edition has almost everything identical to its big brother, the QuietComfort 45. It is extremely comfortable, very easy to use, offers a top level of active insulation and good sound quality. It therefore presents itself as a perfect alternative, in addition to being less expensive, for those who would be ready to sacrifice 2 hours of autonomy and a less solid carrying case.
