The new Tour PRO 3 are, according to JBL, their most advanced True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds. That’s thanks to the introduction of dual drivers, JBL Spatial 360 with Head Tracking, True Adaptive Noise Cancellation 2.0 and a Smart Charging Case.
The new JBL Tour PRO 3 earbuds feature a number of notable innovations. For example, the second-generation Smart Charging Case provides full control over the earbuds’ functions and also functions as a wireless audio transmitter. This means you can experience ‘Anytime, Anywhere Entertainment’, whether via USB or an analogue source, such as an in-flight entertainment system. Simply plug in the charging case and your earbuds are instantly and automatically connected. Even better, the direct connection between the case and the earbuds is more stable and has less latency than Bluetooth, making it great for gaming, calling, watching movies and listening to music.
TWS with Auracast
The JBL Tour PRO 3 is JBL’s first True Wireless Stereo (TWS) model to feature full Auracast functionality. Share audio content to any Auracast-compatible device via the Auracast button on the Smart Charging Case’s display, or join an existing broadcast simply by using the case and its companion app.
The revamped Smart Charging Case now features a 30% larger display than its predecessor, all packed into a smaller, more portable case. The display offers control over music playback, call management, access to ID3 Tag, caller ID, and media file information, among other things.
JBL Spatial 360 with Head Tracking
The JBL Tour PRO 3 brings JBL Spatial 360 and Head Tracking technology to every audio signal, making it especially beneficial in stereo sound when watching movies or playing games. Head Tracking deepens the experience by making sounds seem like they’re coming from outside your head and stay in place, even when you move your head.
Dual drivers
The JBL Tour PRO 3 features a hybrid dual-driver system in each earbud that delivers JBL Pro Sound—a first for the JBL TWS. The balanced armature driver is designed to deliver crisp highs, while the 11mm dynamic driver can deliver powerful, clean bass and vibrant vocals. With a dedicated DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) for each driver, each reproducing a specific part of the 20Hz to 40kHz frequency range, you’ll experience every detail with clarity, according to JBL.
To further enhance audio quality, the Hi-Res certified wireless audio codec LDAC* delivers three times more data than standard Bluetooth codecs, resulting in high-resolution sound.
Personalized listening experience
Most features of the JBL Tour PRO 3 are fully customizable, including True Adaptive Noise Cancellation 2.0 technology. This system measures over 50,000 times per second and adapts to changes in the environment while also compensating for sound leakage.
For optimal comfort and performance, the JBL Tour PRO 3 comes with a comprehensive selection of ear tips: five different sizes of silicone ear tips and an additional set of foam ear tips.
With six microphones and a hydrodynamic wind-resistant design, the Tour PRO 3 should ensure clear and undistorted voice transmission during calls. The earbuds use a new, proprietary JBL Crystal AI call algorithm to improve clarity, even in noisy environments. Now your voice will be clear not only in environments with low, steady noises like traffic or the subway, but also in situations with sudden high-frequency sounds, such as in a cafe.
The new smart call equalizer Voice Call features a sound level optimizer that helps to reduce the volume of loud speakers or boost the volume of quiet speakers during calls
More personal
For personalized sound, the Personi-fi 3.0 hearing test provides a customized sound profile. This JBL algorithm accurately measures and adjusts to an individual hearing profile using 12 frequency bands for EQ compensation and 14 warble tones. Adjustments are made separately for each ear.
Users can further personalize the Tour PRO 3 by setting the lock screen and display wallpaper with any photo. The display language can be set to 13 languages.
