American audio pioneers JBL are known for constantly pushing the boundaries of audio technology, and their latest release, the JBL Tour PRO 3, is no exception. Building on the innovative legacy of the Tour PRO 2 — the world's first touchscreen headphones — JBL has created what they proudly call "the most advanced True Wireless Stereo headphones ever." So let's see what exactly makes the Tour PRO 3 so special in an already crowded market?
At first glance, the JBL Tour PRO 3 may seem like just a refined version of its predecessor. However, there's more to this update than meets the eye. The most noticeable upgrade is the smart charging case. JBL has increased the screen size by 30 %, which means that it now has a 1.45-inch LED touch screen that is not only bigger, but also smarter and more intuitive. Despite the larger screen, the case is more compact, demonstrating JBL's commitment to combining functionality with portability.
This upgraded screen isn't just a pretty facade. It's a command center for your headphones, allowing you to control music playback, calls, and even view caller ID information with a single swipe. But JBL didn't stop there. The case now doubles as a wireless audio transmitter, meaning you can plug it into an in-flight entertainment system or any other audio source and instantly connect your headphones — a feature sure to please frequent travelers.
Sound excellence with modern technology
Of course, what would headphones be without exceptional sound quality? JBL has equipped the Tour PRO 3 with many advanced audio technologies that place it at the top of its category. The inclusion of JBL Spatial 360 and Head Tracking technology promises an exceptional audio experience, where the sound dynamically adjusts according to the movements of your head. This technology creates the feeling of being in the middle of the action, whether you're watching a movie or getting lost in your favorite album.
Each earbud features a dual-speaker hybrid system that ensures both high and low frequencies are reproduced with precision and clarity. Whether you're listening to pounding bass lines or gentle vocals, the Tour PRO 3 are designed to reproduce sound in its purest form. In addition, JBL offers a wide selection of ear tips so that everyone can find the perfect fit, improving comfort and sound performance.
Price and availability
The JBL Tour PRO 3 will be officially launched on September 14 via JBL's UK website, and the headphones will be available in black and latte. The price is set at 280 GBP (approx. 367 USD). For those in the US, make a note of September 22 when the headset is expected to be available in the US.
