Mascom International stocks the JBL Tour One M2 at KSh 30,500, brand new and sealed, with True Adaptive Noise Cancelling, 40mm drivers and up to 50 hours of listening per charge. The JBL Tour One M2 sits in JBL's Tour range, the brand's travel and business headphone line, and carries Hi-Res certified sound. It folds into the supplied carrying case and ships with a flight adaptor for aircraft seat sockets. You can test the JBL Tour One M2 at our Kimathi Street showroom in the Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD, and hear the noise cancelling for yourself before you pay.
Built for executives, lawyers, consultants and NGO field staff who travel often, the JBL Tour One M2 turns long trips into quiet working time. The usual complaint we hear is fatigue after a red-eye from JKIA, when engine roar leaves you drained before the first meeting. True Adaptive Noise Cancelling tracks that noise constantly and adjusts to the shape of your ears and the way the headphones sit. Calls go through a four-microphone system, so colleagues in Upper Hill hear you rather than the airport. The JBL Tour One M2 also links to Hey Google or Alexa for hands-free requests.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops keep headphones locked behind glass, Mascom International lets you wear the JBL Tour One M2 in store, run the noise cancelling and make a test call. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the carry case and flight adaptor save them buying travel extras separately. If you want the newer generation, the JBL Tour One M3 sits on the same shelf at KSh 39,000, so you can compare both. Visit us on Kimathi Street, or order on WhatsApp and pay when the parcel reaches your door anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the JBL Tour One M2
How much is the JBL Tour One M2 in Kenya?
The JBL Tour One M2 costs KSh 30,500 brand new at Mascom International, Old Mutual Building, Nairobi CBD. That price covers the headphones, carrying case, flight adaptor, both cables, the 12-month Mascom International warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. The JBL Tour One M3 is KSh 39,000, so the older pair saves you KSh 8,500. Across a year of daily use, the JBL Tour One M2 comes to about KSh 84 a day, roughly the cost of a short boda boda ride.
Is the JBL Tour One M2 worth KSh 20,500 more than the JBL Tune 780NC?
The JBL Tour One M2 is worth the extra if you fly often or care about audio detail, but the JBL Tune 780NC wins on battery and weight. The Tour pair adds True Adaptive Noise Cancelling, Hi-Res certification, a carrying case, a flight adaptor and voice assistant support. The Tune pair runs 76 hours against 50, weighs 225.2g against 278g, and costs KSh 10,000. Frequent travellers should choose the JBL Tour One M2; commuters and students will be happy with the Tune.
Is the JBL Tour One M2 good for flights, the SGR and Kenyan road trips?
Yes, the JBL Tour One M2 suits Kenyan travel because its noise cancelling targets steady engine and track noise, and 30 hours with cancelling on covers several journeys. The Madaraka Express to Mombasa, a night bus to Kisumu or a flight from JKIA all pass quietly. The supplied flight adaptor fits twin-pin aircraft sockets, and wired mode plays from the seat screen. If KPLC cuts the power before a trip, the 50-hour battery means you still leave fully ready to listen.
How long does the JBL Tour One M2 battery last?
The JBL Tour One M2 gives up to 50 hours of music with noise cancelling off and up to 30 hours with it on, according to JBL. A full recharge takes about 2 hours over USB Type-C, and speed charging gives you useful playtime from a short top-up. For a consultant on a weekly return flight of eight hours each way, that is close to two round trips with cancelling running before a recharge. Pack the included cable in the case and any phone charger will do.
What does True Adaptive Noise Cancelling do on the JBL Tour One M2?
True Adaptive Noise Cancelling on the JBL Tour One M2 keeps adjusting to the noise around you and to how the earcups fit your head. Hair, glasses or a loose fit can let sound leak in, and the system compensates for that in real time. JBL uses four noise-sensing microphones for this job. The result is steadier quiet across changing places, from an open office to an aircraft cabin, without you having to switch modes by hand each time.
Can I take calls and use voice assistants on the JBL Tour One M2?
Yes, the JBL Tour One M2 handles calls through a four-microphone call system and supports Hey Google and Alexa for voice requests. You can ask for directions, set reminders or start a playlist without reaching for your phone. Multipoint keeps it connected to two devices at once, so a call on your phone interrupts laptop audio cleanly. Ambient Aware and TalkThru let you hear gate announcements or speak to a flight attendant while the headphones stay on your head.
What do Hi-Res sound, Spatial Sound and Personi-Fi 2.0 mean on the JBL Tour One M2?
Hi-Res certification means the JBL Tour One M2 can reproduce detail beyond CD quality, reaching up to 40kHz when used with the 3.5mm cable. JBL Spatial Sound spreads music and films around you so they feel less boxed inside your head. Personi-Fi 2.0 runs a hearing check in the JBL Headphones app and tunes the sound to your ears. Together they help music producers, podcast editors and serious listeners hear recordings more accurately than most everyday headphones allow.
Who should buy the JBL Tour One M2, and who should skip it?
The JBL Tour One M2 is right for frequent flyers, executives and audio-focused listeners who want strong noise cancelling and a full travel kit for KSh 30,500. Students and daily commuters on a budget should skip it; the JBL Tune 770NC at KSh 9,000 covers buses and lectures well. Gamers wanting a headset with a boom microphone should look at the JBL Quantum 650 at KSh 27,500. Buyers who want JBL's newer generation should choose the JBL Tour One M3 at KSh 39,000.
