JBL's Tour PRO 3 Is the Brand's Most Advanced Earbuds to Date

American audio equipment specialists JBL introduced the world’s first earbuds with a touchscreen case at the beginning of last year, presenting the Tour PRO 2 with a 1.45-inch LED touch display. Now, the 78-year-old brand is back with its latest iteration in the series — the JBL Tour PRO 3.

Dubbed the brand’s “most advanced True Wireless Stereo earbuds yet,” the Tour PRO 3 takes what made the Tour PRO 2 stand out and has elevated it. For example, the Smart Charging Case’s screen is now 30% larger while being wrapped in a smaller package. Key features of the screen range from music playback management, navigating phone calls, caller ID detailing and more. The case also serves as a wireless audio transmitter, which enables functionality with the earbuds upon plugging the case into the audio source, such as an in-flight entertainment system. Key specifications for the earbuds involve JBL Spatial 360 and Head Tracking technology for emphasized immersion, a hybrid dual driver system in each earbud and an extensive selection of ear tip options ensuring the right fit.

Release for the JBL Tour PRO 3 earbuds begins on September 14 via JBL’s UK website, where pairs will be made available in both the black and latte colorways at a starting price of £280 GBP (approx. $367 USD). As for a stateside release, early reports are indicating that the new earbuds will be dropping on September 22.
