On the right side of the neckband earphone, we found the three buttons, a Type c charging port, a LED indicator light, and a mic. While on the left side, there is only a battery part inside the plastic. And it is also a lightweight neckband earphone of around 19g.
The JBL Tune 215BT has built with good plastic and tangle-free flat wire. Overall the build quality is good. The earbuds fit very well in the ear and you can use them for light workouts and sports activities but not for heavy sports activities.

The build quality and physical appearance of JBL Tune 215BT are the same as JBL Tune 205BT.
