How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a familiar, lightweight everyday pair of true wireless earbuds with deep bass and a bundled compact USB-C fast charger, choose JBL Vibe Beam True; if you need ear-hook stability, waterproofing and marathon battery life for workouts, choose Berufexp Earbuds. That one sentence is the whole decision. Everything below is just the reasoning behind it.
• JBL Vibe Beam True — biggest strength: a straightforward in-ear design with JBL Deep Bass Sound, touch media controls, Bluetooth wireless and up to 32 hours of total battery life (8h in the buds + 24h in the case), with speed charging. It also ships as a bundle with a compact 20W USB-C PD wall charger.
• JBL Vibe Beam True — biggest trade-off: there is no active noise cancelling at all, and the earbuds sit as a rounded-tip in-ear rather than a hooked, locked-in sport fit.
• Berufexp Earbuds — biggest strength: an over-ear hook sport design rated IPX7, Bluetooth 5.4, ENC noise cancelling mics that cut background noise for calls, and up to 75 hours of total playback with a dual LED battery display.
• Berufexp Earbuds — biggest trade-off: no charger is included in the box, the controls are physical buttons rather than touch, and the case is bulkier (about 3.15 inches wide, 2.04 ounces on its own).
• Pick JBL Vibe Beam True if you want simple, pocket-friendly earbuds for commuting, calls and casual listening, and you like the idea of a small fast charger coming along with them.
• Pick Berufexp Earbuds if you want a workout-first pair that will not budge during a run, survives sweat and rain, and goes for days between charges.
The JBL Vibe Beam True is the simpler, more conventional product of the two. It is a true wireless in-ear pair in black, with rounded-tip earpieces, a black carrying case, Bluetooth wireless connectivity with a 10-metre range, and touch controls for media. The audio side leans on a dynamic driver tuned for JBL Deep Bass Sound, which is the classic consumer-friendly signature — a little extra low end under pop, hip-hop and podcasts. Calls are handled hands-free with VoiceAware, which is JBL's way of balancing your voice against what the microphones pick up around you.
Battery is the headline number here: up to 32 total hours, split as roughly 8 hours in the earbuds and 24 hours in the case, plus speed charging when you need to top up quickly. That is a perfectly reasonable rhythm for normal life — a few hours of commuting and calls a day, a charge every few days.
Who should buy it? Someone who wants one box that covers both listening and charging, who mostly listens in transit, at a desk or around the house, and who prefers touch controls and a slim in-ear shape. Who should skip it? Anyone who needs active noise cancelling — the noise control field is literally "None" — and anyone who wants a locked-in, sweat-proof fit for hard training. If your ears have ever spat out a rounded-tip earbud mid-run, this is not the pair for that job.
Berufexp Earbuds: Who It's For
The Berufexp Earbuds are built around a different idea: stay put, stay dry, stay charged. The defining feature is the over-ear hook design in medical-grade TPU, which wraps the earbud around your ear rather than relying on the tip alone to hold it in place. That is the single biggest practical difference between these two products, and it is the reason a lot of people end up here rather than with a standard in-ear pair.
Around that hook you get a sport-focused spec sheet. IPX7 waterproofing covers sweat, rain and splashes. Bluetooth 5.4 handles connectivity with a 33-foot (10-metre) range, auto-reconnect, and support for the usual profiles — HSP, HFP, A2DP, AVRCP — so it plays nicely with iOS, Android, laptops and tablets. The drivers are 13.7mm dynamic units (the measurement field lists 13.4mm, so treat the "13.7mm" figure as the marketing round number) with a 20Hz–20kHz frequency range, 32-ohm impedance, 98dB sensitivity and about 50ms of audio latency. In plain terms: a full-range, easy-to-drive sound with deep bass and clear highs, and latency low enough that video audio stays reasonably in sync.
Battery is where Berufexp runs away with it: 7–8 hours per charge, up to 75 hours total with the case, a 2-hour charge time, and a 750mAh case battery. Dual LED screens show the battery status of both the earbuds and the case, which sounds like a small thing until you have owned a pair that dies without warning. ENC noise cancelling microphones are tuned to cut around 80% of background noise on calls, so you are audible on a windy street or in a gym.
Two honest caveats. First, no charger is included — the earbuds and the case come with a cable, but you supply the wall adapter. Second, the controls are physical push buttons with voice assistant support rather than touch, which some people love for accuracy with sweaty or gloved hands and others find clicky. The case is also bigger and heavier than a slim pocket case.
Who should buy it? Runners, gym-goers, cyclists, anyone who works outside or sweats a lot, and anyone who hates charging earbuds every other day. Who should skip it? Someone who wants the smallest possible case, touch controls, or a charger in the box.

• Best for battery life → Berufexp Earbuds. Up to 75 hours total versus up to 32 hours on the JBL.
• Best for calls in noisy places → Berufexp Earbuds. ENC mics are specified to reduce background noise by around 80%; the JBL uses VoiceAware on hands-free calls but has no noise cancelling.
• Best for a simple, familiar everyday fit → JBL Vibe Beam True. Rounded-tip in-ear, touch media controls, slim black case.
• Best for getting a charger in the box → JBL Vibe Beam True. The bundle includes a compact 20W USB-C PD charger with surge and overheat protection.
• Best for the newest Bluetooth → Berufexp Earbuds. Bluetooth 5.4 with auto-reconnect and a 33-foot range, against Bluetooth 5 on the JBL.
• Best for precise, no-mistake controls → Berufexp Earbuds. Physical buttons beat touch when your fingers are wet or moving.
• Best for buyers who want to grab and go with zero extras → JBL Vibe Beam True. Nothing to remember, nothing to plug in separately.

If I were buying for myself and my week looked like commuting, desk work and calls, I would take the JBL Vibe Beam True — the 32-hour total battery, touch controls and the bundled fast charger make it the more effortless daily companion, and JBL is a brand with a long track record in exactly this category. But if I trained regularly, ran outdoors or worked up a sweat most days, I would buy the Berufexp Earbuds instead, because the ear hooks, IPX7 rating, ENC call clarity and 75-hour total battery solve problems the JBL simply does not address. In my opinion, the deciding question is not which is better — it is whether your ears need to be rained on and shaken around. If yes, Berufexp. If no, JBL. Either way, check the current price on Amazon before you commit, since that is the one variable this comparison cannot speak to.
FAQ
No. The spec sheet states plainly that no charger is included. You get the earbuds, the charging case, a cable, ear cushions and eartips, so you will need your own USB wall adapter.
Berufexp. It is rated at 7–8 hours per charge and up to 75 hours total with the case, versus up to 32 total hours on the JBL Vibe Beam True (about 8 hours in the buds plus 24 in the case).
You can, but they are a rounded-tip in-ear design with no ear hook and no waterproofing rating, so they are not built for heavy sweat or rain. If running is your main use, the hooked, IPX7-rated Berufexp Earbuds are the safer pick.
Berufexp, on paper. Its ENC microphones are specified to reduce background noise by around 80%, which matters on a street or in a gym. The JBL handles hands-free calls with VoiceAware but has no noise cancelling.
