STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JBL, a trailblazer in audio technology, has announced the new JBL Tour PRO 3, the most advanced True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds yet. With the introduction of dual drivers, JBL Spatial 360 with Head Tracking, True Adaptive Noise Cancellation 2.0, and a Smart Charging CaseTM packing truly unique features, JBL Tour PRO 3 redefines the TWS listening and user experience.
Seamless Convenience with ‘Everywhere Entertainment’
At the forefront of the JBL Tour PRO 3's innovations is the second-generation Smart Charging CaseTM. The case not only provides full control of the earbud features, but also acts as a wireless audio transmitter, enabling 'Everywhere Entertainment’ from any USB or analog source such as an inflight entertainment system. Simply plug in the charging case for an instant and automatic connection to your earbuds.
Better yet, the direct connection between case and earbuds is more stable, and lower latency, than Bluetooth, making it the perfect companion for gaming, calls*, movies and music.
JBL Tour PRO 3 is JBL's first TWS model with full AuracastTM functionality. Easily share audio content with any AuracastTM-enabled device using the AuracastTM button on the Smart Charging CaseTM display. Or join an existing broadcast by simply tapping in with the case and accompanying app.
The redesigned Smart Charging CaseTM now features a 30% larger screen than its predecessor, all wrapped in a smaller, more pocketable package. The screen provides seamless control over music playback, call management, access to ID3 Tag, caller ID and media file information, and more without needing to access your phone.
Immersive JBL Spatial 360 with Head Tracking
The JBL Tour PRO 3 has also been upgraded to include new JBL Spatial 360 and Head Tracking technology from any audio source. Whether watching a movie or playing video games, this technology transforms stereo sound into a fully immersive and lifelike audio experience.
Legendary JBL Pro Sound
No matter what you are listening to, enjoy it in excellent quality. JBL Tour PRO 3 boasts a hybrid dual driver system in each earbud, a first for JBL TWS, delivering JBL's legendary Pro Sound. The balanced armature driver handles the high notes with enhanced clarity, freeing the 11mm dynamic driver to provide powerful, cleaner bass and vivid vocals. With a dedicated DAC for each driver reproducing a specific part of the frequency range from 20Hz to 40kHz, enjoy every detail in stunning definition, closer than ever to studio sound reproduction.
Further enhancing audio quality, the Hi-Res certified wireless audio codec LDAC**, delivers three times more data than the standard Bluetooth codecs, resulting in exceptional high resolution sound.
“JBL Tour PRO 3 introduces a brand-new audio platform developed for sonic excellence as it sets new standards in customization, performance, and convenience. I am particularly excited by the new generation Smart Charging CaseTM because the new audio transmitter technology is unique as it unlocks so many potential scenarios for improving audio quality and enhancing the listening experience,” said Carsten Olesen, President of Consumer Audio at HARMAN.
Adaptive Listening Experience
Designed to deliver excellent audio quality no matter the setting, the JBL Tour PRO 3 comes equipped with JBL’s newest True Adaptive Noise Cancellation 2.0 technology. This advanced system measures noise levels at a rate of over 50,000 times per second and adapts to environmental changes while compensating for sound leakage.
For the best comfort and performance, JBL Tour PRO 3 ships with an extensive selection of ear tip options. Find your perfect fit with five different sized silicon and one additional set of foam ear tips.
With six microphones and a hydrodynamic windproof design, Tour PRO 3 ensures clear and undistorted voice transmission during calls. The earbuds use a new, proprietary, JBL Crystal AI call algorithm to enhance clarity even in noisy environments. Your voice will now not only be clear in places with low frequency stationary noises such as traffic and in a subway, but also in situations with more sudden high frequency noises such as coffee shops.
Further enhance your calling experience with the new smart call equalizer, Voice Call. This features a sound level optimizer which helps reduce the volume of loud talkers or amplify quiet talkers.
Personalized, Inside and Out
For a fully personalized sound, the Personi-fi 3.0 hearing test offers a customized sound profile. This JBL algorithm accurately measures and adjusts for individual hearing profiles using 12 bands for EQ compensation and 14 warble tones. The adjustments are now made separately for each ear, providing the most personalized listening experience to date.
Additionally, JBL Tour PRO 3 allows users to personalize the display lock screen and wallpaper with any photo and supports display commands in 13 languages.
The JBL Tour PRO 3 will be available on JBL.com in Black and Latte starting September 22, 2024, retailing for $299.99.
