Specifications & Features

JBL Pure Bass Sound

The JBL Tune 305C features JBL Pure Bass Sound, delivering the bass-focused audio signature associated with JBL's Tune range.

The earphones are suitable for:

• Music
• Podcasts
• Movies
• Videos
• Gaming
• Calls
• Everyday entertainment

Hi-Res Audio Certified

The Tune 305C supports High-Resolution Audio with an extended frequency response of:

20Hz to 40kHz

This provides the headphones with the ability to reproduce a broader frequency range when used with compatible equipment and audio content.

12.5mm Dynamic Drivers

The Tune 305C incorporates 12.5mm dynamic drivers.

Key audio specifications include:

• Driver Size: 12.5mm
• Frequency Response: 20Hz – 40kHz
• Sensitivity: 102dB SPL @ 1kHz / 1mW
• Impedance: 32 Ohms

The drivers combine JBL's Pure Bass tuning with the extended frequency range required for Hi-Res Audio certification.

Direct USB-C Connection

Instead of using a traditional 3.5mm headphone plug, the JBL Tune 305C connects through USB Type-C.

It is designed for use with compatible USB-C devices such as:

• Smartphones
• Tablets
• Laptops
• Desktop computers
• Gaming devices

USB-C audio support varies between devices, so the host device must support compatible USB-C audio output.

No Bluetooth Pairing Required

The Tune 305C is completely wired.

Simply connect it to a compatible USB-C device rather than going through Bluetooth pairing.

This is useful for users who prefer a direct wired connection for everyday listening.

No Battery or Charging Required

Unlike wireless earphones, the JBL Tune 305C does not contain a rechargeable headphone battery.

There is therefore:

• No battery life to monitor
• No charging case
• No charging routine
• No Bluetooth battery drain

The headphones draw the power required for operation through the connected USB-C device.

Three EQ Presets

The Tune 305C includes built-in EQ preset controls.

Three sound profiles can be selected:

• Default
• Bass
• Vocal

The EQ modes allow the sound character to be changed according to the type of content or personal listening preference.

Bass EQ Preset

The Bass preset emphasizes low-frequency performance for listeners who prefer stronger bass.

It can be useful for bass-heavy genres and entertainment where low-end impact is preferred.

Vocal EQ Preset

The Vocal preset focuses more heavily on voice reproduction.

It can be useful when listening to:

• Podcasts
• Audiobooks
• Dialogue-heavy videos
• Voice recordings
• Spoken content

Three-Button In-Line Remote

The Tune 305C incorporates a three-button remote directly into the cable.

The controls can be used for supported functions including:

• Music playback
• Volume adjustment
• EQ preset selection
• Call management

This makes commonly used controls accessible without repeatedly reaching for the connected device.

Built-In Microphone

The Tune 305C has a built-in microphone for voice communication.

Microphone sensitivity is rated at:

-42dBV/Pa @ 1kHz

The microphone enables the headphones to be used for:

• Phone calls
• Online meetings
• Voice chats
• Gaming communication
• Other supported voice applications

Hands-Free Calling

Incoming calls can be answered using the in-line controls.

This allows the Tune 305C to function as an everyday headset when connected to a compatible USB-C smartphone or computer.

Tangle-Free Flat Cable

JBL uses a flat cable design intended to resist tangling when the earphones are stored in a pocket or bag.

The flat construction helps make the headphones easier to organize than conventional thin round cables.

Lightweight Earbud Design

The JBL Tune 305C weighs approximately:

15.3g

Its lightweight construction makes it convenient for everyday carrying and extended listening.

The earbud-style fit also avoids the larger housings associated with over-ear headphones.

Suitable for PCs and Laptops

The USB-C interface allows the Tune 305C to work with compatible computers that support USB-C audio.

This makes the earphones useful for:

• Music
• Video conferencing
• Online classes
• Video streaming
• Voice calls
• Casual gaming

Smartphone Compatibility

The Tune 305C can work with compatible USB-C smartphones.

This makes it particularly useful with modern phones that no longer include a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack.

Compatibility depends on the USB-C implementation of the particular smartphone.

Gaming Device Compatibility

JBL also positions the Tune 305C for compatible USB-C gaming devices.

The direct wired connection provides a simple way to obtain game audio without relying on Bluetooth.

Exact microphone, button and audio functionality can vary according to the connected gaming device.

No Separate Adapter Required on Compatible USB-C Devices

When the host device natively supports compatible USB-C audio, the Tune 305C plugs directly into its USB-C port.

This eliminates the need to carry a separate USB-C-to-3.5mm adapter for conventional analog headphones.
