Worth the price!
Great pair of earbuds, with very clear sound! Some of the best noise canceling from earbuds that I’ve heard. I always have problems with how earbuds fit, so I was worried the they wouldn’t fit. However they’re the only pair that comfortably fit and don’t fall out. Shoutout to the foam tips! My only issue is that they’re not very loud (which is kind of made up for with the noise cancelling since they sound louder with it activated). The case features are an added bonus for when I don’t have my phone. It is on the bulky side, though it is to be expected since it is a Smart Case.

The best earbuds out of many that I've tried.
These earbuds are amazing, they will connect to basically anything. It even connects to the PlayStation 5 and is able to use the mics on the earbuds themselves with about 4 hours of playing time at full volume. These earbuds are absolutely fantastic as they solve all my needs. I highly recommend checking out the Tour One m3s that are coming out, they have the same technology but over the ears. I will be picking them up as soon as they launched this month. If you are having issues with the earbuds I highly recommend reviewing the user manual or resetting the earbuds. If all else fails order a replacement, you probably just got a lemon. These earbuds are quite fantastic with the wide variety of soundstage that are delivers!

One of the best
I was a little skeptical about whether to buy them but I did, the feeling at first is fantastic, they look great and everything fits in its place. As for the sound, it is excellent, if you have a little fun with the EQ it will be even better. The customization is excellent and one of the things why I use this brand. There are countless options, some of which may not be necessary but it is nice to have, one piece of advice if you have small ears you might have small problems with the fit, for me they are perfect, the noise cancellation is great, the battery is at the highest level as well as the sound, the price may be high but wait for the holidays and buy for less money

Display im case
Hi ich habe mir die Kopfhörer vor ca. 4 Wochen besorgt und bin echt begeistert. Anfangs dachte ich das mich das große case stört doch da es so Wertig ist habe ich es sehr gerne in der Hand. Durch das Display auch einfach zu bedienen und alle Infos parat zu haben wie Akku stand etc. auch im Klang performen die Kopfhörer wesentlich besser als meine alten Wireless Kopfhörer. Auch die Akkulaufzeit kann sich sehen lassen die versprochene Zeit wird plus minus 1 Stunde eingehalten. Ich würde die Kopfhörer auf jeden Fall meinen Freunden empfehlen.

Best JBL Earbuds Hands Down
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to start this review by saying that the JBL tour pro 3 are the best in ear headphones that JBL has ever made. They’re super comfortable, packed with features, and the sound is fantastic - which is why we’re buying headphones in the first place.
The headphones have all the bells and whistles of JBL's top over ear headphones - noise cancelling, Ambient Aware, TalkThru, adaptive EQ, and Personi-Fi (which is one of my favorite features). Most of the controls are handled through JBL's headphone app, and some of them can be set on the Smart Charging Case. I also like the find my buds option for those times when one of your earbuds falls in the couch cushions. Bluetooth 5.3 is standard, with AAC support. For those with Android devices, LDAC and the new LC3plus hi-res codecs are supported. Sadly, my iPhone doesn’t support any hi-res codecs so I wasn’t able to test these.
One of the things that I fell in love with on my Club One over ear headphones is the Personi-Fi setting. Once you have the earbuds fit properly in your ears (I found the best fit with the included foam tips – thank you, JBL), the full-featured headphone app has a hearing test which plays tones at different frequencies. Based on the results of this test, JBL adapts the sound to your personal hearing. I, for example, have significant hearing loss in the upper mids and highs in my left ear. After running the test, the app recognized that and boosted those frequencies in the left side bud. It sounds so much better then running the headphones without Personi-Fi.
Something new for me was JBL Spatial Sound, which I think would be good for gamers, but less impactful with music. I can see this being pretty cool if I was playing some sort of first-person shooter game where you hear the sounds as if they were coming from behind you or the left or right. They have two settings - fixed or head tracking. The head tracking was kind of cool because as you turn your head the sound moves just like as if you were out in the real world. Again, probably less useful when you're listening to music but definitely a pretty cool feature.
Noise canceling was very good, better than on-ear headphones though not as good as what you get with over-ear cans like the Club One. It’s certainly the best from all in-ear buds I’ve ever owned. The three settings - Noise Cancelling, Ambient Aware, and TalkThru - all worked as advertised. As luck would have it, I had to take a flight a few days after I got these and my experience on the plane was better than I expected. Noise Cancelling took care of most of the ambient engine noise and allowed me to enjoy my music. Ambient Aware was great when I was on my bike because it blocked most of the wind noise that you typically get with earbuds but still allowed me to hear what was going on around me in traffic. I also like the TalkThru feature at the gym – when somebody walks up to me, I don't need to take an earbud out.
Sound wise, like I said, these are terrific. My first test here at home was the Immersion edition of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. It's my favorite album and I'm very familiar with it. I enjoyed every second listening to it through the Tour Pro 3. After that, I went with Porcupine Tree’s Fear of a Blank Planet to get something a bit more intense. The bass is strong, with plenty of pump for kick drums, the treble is tight, and the mids fill out the sound beautifully. This is classic “JBL sound.” I tried all types of genres and artists, and I couldn’t find anything to complain about when it comes to the sound.
Let's talk about the Smart Charging Case. Obviously, it's going to be heavier than your standard charging case because of the screen and all the other features they packed into it. You can control music from the screen, it has a flashlight, set the EQ, and you can control which features appear on the smart charging case (from the features that are available, of course.) The case shows battery percentage remaining in the left and right earbuds plus the battery remaining on the case itself, which is extremely useful. They also have the find my case option which is great for those of us who tend to misplace these things. The coolest thing about the case is the new Auracast setting, which allows you to connect the case via its USB C port to a device with a 1/8 inch headphone jack, essentially turning the case into a Bluetooth transmitter. I tried this on the plane, and it worked just as advertised. I was able to watch an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm through my earbuds with my case connected to the seat headphone jack. You can see a lot of thought went into the design and execution of this case, and I’m certainly impressed.
Battery life was good, but not great. I was able to get a little over 8 hours with ANC on, just shy of 11 with ANC off. And those are with the standard AAC codecs – hi-res playback tends to be power hungry. I think playback time that’s a fair tradeoff for the sound quality and features you’re getting.
There’s so much more I could say about the Tour Pro 3. They’re at the upper end of the price spectrum, but I don’t think you’ll find anything better or with more features where they are.

Amazing little package with some big surprises.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL Tour Pro 3 ear buds are like no other. These ear buds have many features that are fun and useful. The JBL Tour Pro 3 comes with a usb-c plug. You can connect to your digital device with the ear buds right in the case when using blue tooth. When I downloaded the app I was able to take a hearing test. There is adjustments between hearing in video to movie, ambulant, talk through, noise canceling all to aid in the best hearing available with out hurting my hearing. The smart sound feature is nice so the sound does not suddenly let sound blast in my ears. These did come with extra sized silicone buds for the best fit.
There is a tiny screen build right into the charging case. You can change the picture shown, turn on a flash light, control the ear buds, see how charged the entire case is as well as each bud. The time is also shown as well as messages, email and more. When this times out the lock screen pops up.
Phone mode is amazing. You can of course talk through the ear buds. You can use gestures to answer the phone and disconnect. You can have the music lower and return with preset timing that starts at 5 seconds to 20 seconds. The spatial sound features head tracking for the best sound.
Now I know at times I fall asleep with my ear buds in my ears. JBL Tour Pro 3 ear buds have a stress releasing white noise sounds There is a Forrest, Ocean, night time sounds. Last but not least with the app the JBL Tour Pro 3 let’s you find your ear bud if you lose one or both. That is one of the best features anyone can ask for.

Great little Earbuds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After receiving these JBL Earbuds I had to charge up the case. They were easy to connect to my IPhone through the Bluetooth function. Each time when I pulled the earbuds from the case, they were connecting when I put them in my ears. My old cheep earbuds, I had to play with it several minutes for them to connect. These are well made and fit into my ears very well. It comes with several size ear pieces that can be exchanged so they will fit your ears perfectly. I’m very satisfied with the way they fit in my ears.
Quality sound: the quality of these earbuds is that they have a deep rich sound. You can distinguish the difference sounds between the instruments. If you download the JBL app you can also adjust the sounds for your own listening pleasures. After a week of using them, the case charge is down to 55%. Anytime you place the earbuds in the case they will recharge so when you need them they are fully charged and ready to go.

Product with the amazing features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In absolutely love for this product! It's a definite upgrade from previous versions of buds or headphones. I've been a fan of these products ever since I first used a JBL speaker. The charging case is larger this time, and the earbuds themselves look fantastic. After unboxing, I needed a little help with the Bluetooth setup since the user guide wasn't very detailed, but the instructions in the app worked perfectly. Once everything was set up, the music quality was noticeably better. The noise cancellation feature, paired with the easy touch controls on the earbuds, is a game-changer. Overall, these earbuds offer a great experience with plenty of features to explore!

Great quality and sound for any use!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As far as ear buds go, these are an elite option. Sound quality, design, and ambient mode make these one of the best products on the market. I commute on public transportation for working 3-5 days a week. The train gets noisy and often, I am listening to music or a podcast to pass the time. The Tour Pro 3 fit in my ears snuggly and the clear sound I get make it so the volume of the train isn't competing with the volume of my music. With one tap, I can take in the sound from the train for announcements and stops, and with another tap, I can shut it out. I also use these in the gym and when I am doing cardio on the stair master or lifting weights, these stay in my ears nicely and produce the sound to keep me focused on my workout and motivated for the next set. A favorite feature of mine is the ability to change the track from on the case or see what the battery life is looking like.
I have gotten complimented on how cool they look and asked where one can find them. The look is sleek. The feel is secure. The price is competitive. I really enjoy these ear buds and highly recommend them to anyone who is in the market to upgrade their sound experience.

Loved these at the gym!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones worked great at the gym! Sound quality was exceptional, especially while doing quick moves it was like I didn’t even have them in it sounded so real. The ear pieces were easy to adjust when needed with a simple touch. They fit well too as I appreciate 4 sizes of ear buds. The best part, I didn’t have to carry my phone from station to station and could use the case to see incoming calls, messages, or change the music. My only suggestion would be more written instruction in quick guide.

Love JBL Sound of Tour Pro 3 and it's Tradition
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a set of JBL Lancer 77 speakers in 1971 because of their sound reproduction capabilities, and JBL’s reliability and technology leadership. Here I am fifty-three years later amazed at these new JBL Tour Pro 3 earbuds capabilities, reliability, and technology. The Tour Pro 3 earbuds are my first venture into the Bluetooth earbud universe so I cannot review them as an earbud aficionado, but as a person who appreciates excellent sound. Upon opening the box my initial response was nice earbuds but how do I make them work? I, for one, needed additional instructions and streaming videos” for the technology had advanced beyond the days of just connecting a couple of color-coded wires or plugging in a speaker or headphone, for we now live in a world of pairing, downloading, setup and sound framing your music. So, for me homework work was necessary after I open the box, and my initial setup. I had to give the Quick Start Guide a second and even a third review and reading and then search the internet for any Tour Pro 3 streaming videos that could be helpful. Once I achieved the basic understanding how to make the earbuds work, I had to learn to crawl by using the earbuds with my mobile device. Then it was on to learning to walk with the Tour Pro 3s, as I used the earbuds with different operating systems and devices. I found them easily adoptable and dependable across platforms. I found the earbuds surprisingly comfortable and well positioned in my ears. The battery life was excellent. Their clarity was outstanding, and as my knowledge improved, I then discovered the JBL Pro Tour 3 secret weapon the “charging case”. Yes, the charging case! Once I understood it was just not a simple charging station but a handy control, sound framing and Bluetooth enabling tool! I was off and running and extremely impressed as I explored and fine-tuned the sound framing and capabilities of the Tour Pro 3s. I will note that the ability to use the charging case as a Bluetooth source also opened a new delivery option for my pre-Bluetooth sound sources. Which in turn opens new doors to private listening, much, to the enjoyment of my significant other. The earbud build quality, hardware and software engineering makes the JBL Tour Pro 3 a welcome addition to my evolving 53-year JBL sound library. I have no doubt the JBL Tour Pro 3 will be a welcome addition to your sound library be it your first step or next step.

Great sounding headset(right size!)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL Pro was great upgrade over my Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro. JBL Tour Pro 3 was fell just right when I compare to my Samsung Buds3 Pro which is also great but always felt bulky and heavy.
Tour Pro is light weight and very impressive sounds with default setting without any EQ adjustment. I am not an audiophile but I can definitely appreciate of sounds and earbuds fit very comfortably.
Charging case LCD touch screen needs bit of learning/getting use to but appreciate informative display.

Great sound quality & well thought through design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm pretty mixed on these earbuds. I can tell that they are absolutely high quality and made with care towards the design with the case screen being a cool concept, but unfortunately to get the display to do what it does, it has in my opinion made the overall size of case a tab too big. The surface of the case has quality touch but also is slippery enough that I question its longevity .
The headphones fitment has several tips to fit but my wife has found all to be not comfortable enough to be worn over 8 hours that the battery could support. My wife commented that her competitors Pro 2 has superior fit to her smaller ear canal. the ear pieces also did not stay in place as well with a lot of movement. The sound quality for the pass-through is lower than competitors Pro 2 with a bit more metallic harshness with firmware 3.5. I have not been fully adjusting all the available EQs; however, given the vast amount of setting possibilities. I love the easy switch between pass-through and noise cancellation on the fly by simply tap my left bud while it's in. The microphone does need to be switched to voice aware during call for the sound to be not muffled in my car speakers.
The supplied USB-C to 3.5mm cable to connect to an audio out on anything you want to be able to stream audio from, basically turning the case into a Bluetooth dongle for any legacy device. The case screen replicates what you see in the app and more, including being able to use the screen as a flashlight. The case tells you the battery level of each of the earbuds and the case as well. The case will auto-pause your earbuds by default, but this can be changed.

JBL again lives up to their reputation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I have to say about this product is exceptional! I have tried many earbuds over the last several years and these beat them all. The first thing that struck me was the fit. I used the setup the way it was shipped and it was a perfect fit for my ears. They come with assorted size earpieces but the ones that shipped were perfect for me. After going out walking in hot humid weather the earbuds stayed in place. Next was the sound. The treble and bass are what I’ve been looking for. You could hear notes you normally won’t hear in other earbuds. Using the JBL app allows you to make several adjustments. For me I have a slight hearing loss in my left ear. It allowed me to equalize the volume. I bought my first JBL product in 1975. Some l100 speakers which to this day are the best speakers I’ve ever owned.

Great PRO pair of earbuds!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a frequent user of the JBL Pro Tour 3 earbuds, especially in combination with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I've had a great experience with these earbuds, and they quickly became a staple in my daily routine.
What I Love:
1. Versatility as In-Ear Monitors: One of the standout features is their versatility. I’ve been able to use them as in-ear monitors through Auracast, utilizing a Bluetooth dongle. This is particularly helpful when working with older equipment, such as PCs that don’t have built-in Bluetooth support. The ability to use them where you’d normally plug in wired headphones makes them incredibly convenient for both modern and legacy systems.
2. Convenient Case and Customization: The case itself is sleek and functional, making it easy to change settings on the earbuds on the go. I also really enjoy the customizability of the screen on the case. The option to personalize it by adding my own photos gives it a unique touch and makes the user experience even more enjoyable.
3. Impressive Battery Life: The battery life is phenomenal. Compared to AirPods, which I’ve used in the past, the JBL Pro Tour 3 earbuds last significantly longer on a single charge. This is a huge plus, especially when traveling or working for long hours without access to a charger.
4. Smart Pause Feature: Another feature I’ve found helpful is the auto-pause function when the earbuds detect that you’re speaking. This mode saves me from manually pausing when I need to talk to someone, adding a layer of convenience, especially in busy or professional settings.
Some Drawbacks:
1. Touch Controls: While touch controls are generally intuitive, they can be a little too sensitive at times. I’ve found myself accidentally pausing or skipping tracks while adjusting the earbuds in my ears. It’s a minor inconvenience but worth noting.
2. Apple Ecosystem Integration: The connectivity with Apple devices, while solid, isn’t as seamless as with AirPods. There’s a slight lack of integration that Apple users might miss, such as the instant pairing and deep integration with Siri. However, it hasn’t been a major issue, and overall, the performance is still top-notch.
Final Thoughts:
The JBL Pro Tour 3 earbuds are a fantastic choice for anyone looking for versatility, customization, and battery longevity in their wireless earbuds. While they don’t integrate quite as smoothly with Apple devices as AirPods, the benefits—especially for those using them across different devices—far outweigh the minor drawbacks. These earbuds strike an excellent balance between functionality and convenience, making them a great investment.

High Tech Ear Buds!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the JBL Tour Pro 3 earbuds for a few weeks now.
First impression is that they seem to be a quality product with excellent
comfort,sound and features.
Most features can be controlled from the charging case.
Battery life is excellent.Battery case to earbud recharge speed is fast!
I have been looking for a comfortable way to walk around
with the ability to listen to my music and answer my phone without
looking like I'm an Airline Flight Controller.
These earbuds work great for that purpose. The noise cancelling
feature blocks out many background noise,such as a fan,car engine,
ambient noise. You can put these in and select noise cancelling mode to just block out everything so you can take a nap.
Various size ear tips are included (a foam tip as well) so take your time to find the right ones.
They do fit comfortably once you choose the right size.
I have used these while working construction.Cuts down on some power tool sounds.
Easy to just tap one of the earbuds to pause the music and hear what someone is saying.
These earbuds are great when you're just relaxing or traveling and using
your phone. Two way audio is great. The other party on phone never knows
I'm talking through earbuds. Noise cancelling while talking to someone
works great! I have hearing issues and the noise cancelling makes the
other person's voice stand out and much easier to understand. "HUH?" and "what?" are slowly disappearing from my vocabulary.
Bottom line,
You have to read the instruction guide as there are many functions you can access by just tapping the left or right earbud to do things such as pause,change noise cancelling,skip to the next song etc etc.
Seems I am still finding features on these even after a few weeks of use!
Great earbuds,many features,excellent sound and build quality.
Learning curve to access some of the more in depth features.

Loads of features packed into such a small pkg. Love the fact the charge case can be charged wirelessly!

Great earbuds noise cancellation earbuds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Probably one of my favorite earbuds. They fit well in my ear and the option of noise cancellation or passive listening is awesome. People can clearly hear me when I'm talking to them on the phone or games and I'm able to hear my surroundings while listening to music while I'm walking is fantastic. So far the battery life has lasted longer than I've needed, I've always charged them every couple days after use just so they don't die on me. The rechargeable case is fantastic and being able to pause my music from the case is nice so I don't have to pull out my phone.

Bass Bass Bass
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a gorgeous and sophisticated set of earbuds that can take on everyday life from commuting to work to getting an intensive workout in! The JBL Tour Pro 3 earbuds sound so good and clear out of the box and is super customizable with the help of the JBL Headphones App or even the screen on the wireless charging capable case!! These earbuds might be the first ones I havent used the extra bass setting and said "thats too much bass!" (and I like a lot of bass) Theres so many good features these small but mighty earphones have! My favorite feature by far is the ability to go from no surround sound to Spacial 360° surround sound! Basically when you move your head around the music moves with you and it is a really great and immersive experience for those who love music like I do! Even with all the features turned on to include auto detecting talk thru, the battery life is great and can last me the entire week no doubt! The JBL Tour Pro 3's are capable of all kinds of grenes from classical to heavy bass hip hop. With the various ear tip sizes provided, these are not coming out of my ear even when going on the tredmill, sprinting on the track, or sweating it out in the sauna. I would highly recommend anyone this product because of the versatility and customizable EQ settings!

Versatile and with a Great Sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an older pair of Bluetooth earbuds these replaced, and these remedied pretty much every issue I've had with wireless earbuds.
These sound genuinely powerful and punchy, something wireless earbuds haven't really delivered on yet.
Despite their sound, their form factor is quite slim and comfy. They are perhaps slightly too large to sleep in, but are definitely comfortable to exercise in.
The touch controls work alright. They didn't frustrate me. The instructions were easy to follow.
The variety of cables included for every situation is very nice.

You Ever Fell In Love With Some Earbuds? I Have.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So you know that feeling of excitement that parents feel about their newborns? Something so tiny – yet so amazing that they could just go on and on and on about? That’s how I feel about my Tour Pro 3’s. If you’re a JBL fan like me – let me just say they’ve done it again. And to anyone who’s never experienced their perfect blend of revolutionizing sound + technology, take my word for it as I assure you that you won’t be disappointed with the Tour Pro 3’s. JBL’s technology impressed me before, but this is next level! Where do I even begin? There’s just so much to say that I don’t want to leave anything out yet I don’t want to bore you with a 10-page essay, so please – bear with me.
Let’s just start with the sound: Clear… pristine… captivating. I even believe JBL managed to push the sound amplification to a new height with these compared to some of their previous earbuds. The natural sound itself is clean, but one of the coolest things about these (as well as many of their other products) is that you have the option to select from six different genre EQ presets, or you can create and customize your own EQ specific to your taste with the JBL Headphones’ app built-in 10-band Equalizer. Being able to tailor the sound to your preference is the ultimate luxury.
My favorite thing about these, though, has to be its three very impressive noise cancelling features. There’s “Noise Cancelling” which drowns out anything not playing through the earbuds, “Ambient Aware” which allows you hear sounds in your immediate surroundings while still achieving clear and perfect sound from whatever you’re listening to, and finally – there’s “Talk Thru” that allows you to engage in a conversation with someone without the hassle of having to take your earbuds out. The greatest part about “Ambient Aware” and “Talk Thru” to me is that you can hear yourself and others perfectly – it doesn’t sound muffled at all.
Let’s talk comfort: These, for me, are the most comfortable earbuds I’ve ever worn. I’m sure we’ve all worn ‘buds that became irritating after a while. I haven’t experienced that with these. In fact, these are so lightweight and comfortable that I took a nap with them in (on the “Noise Cancelling” mode – try it!). I don’t find myself having to constantly adjust them by turning them of trying to push them back into my ears – they’re that comfy. Included in the box are different sizes of extra silicon ear tips as well as some foam ear tips. Mind you, I haven’t tried the foam tips yet as the silicon tips are described as most ideal for everyday use – although the foam tips are described to perform better in terms of the “Noise Cancelling”.
Now that we’ve talked about sound and comfort – let’s get into the tech features which I consider brilliance at its finest. Probably the most unique thing about these is their technology-based touchscreen charging case. The case is light in weight but so very interactive and powerful to the experience. There’s 17 screens (18 if you include it’s sliding “Unlock” screen so you don’t accidently tap a button if carrying these in your pocket) of various amazing features. The main screen shows you the current time, case battery percentage and the battery percentage of bot the left and right earbud. These show at the top of each screen.
Once unlocked, the default screen displays what you’re listening to and displays the song title with the artist/band/group name. You can pause what you’re listening to, skip forward/back a song or restart the song you’re currently on (and this applies to videos, too). You may also skip forward/back or pause your song/video by tapping the side of the right earbud.
If you swipe left, you’ll go to the next screen which allows you to adjust the volume up or down. Unlike other earbuds, there’s no physical button on the earbuds to adjust the volume, so you must do this from the case or from your Bluetooth device (though you can tap the side of the left earbud to switch between the different noise cancelling sound modes).
There are screens to switch between the different noise cancelling sound modes as well as to enable VoiceAware or Spatial Sound. The Spatial Sound allows you to choose between music, video or gaming modes. There are also screens to adjust the EQ and enable “Auto Play & Pause” – a feature that will pause what you’re listening to for your choice of duration at the sound of your voice if you were to have a quick conversation with someone.
The case has a screen that displays a built-in timer that you can set as a reminder as well as a feature called SilentNow that can be set to automatically activate the Noise Cancelling feature in a certain time. You can also adjust the screen brightness on the charging case and whether or not push-button notifications or message previews for text messages show up on the case. The case also has a flashlight feature that illuminates a brightly lit white screen.
A feature I absolutely love is that the charging case comes with 5 Lock Screen preloaded screen savers, including the ability to personalize your case with your own custom screensaver. You’ll need the JBL Headphones app for this feature and it takes about 30 seconds for it to sync your chosen picture to your case. I love love love this feature!
A feature I hope not to have to use – yet I’m super grateful it’s there – is the Find My Buds feature. Tap this (while you buds are out of your ears, of course) and the buds will make a beep sound loud enough for you to locate them.
The case also allows you to select your language preference and has 13 options to choose from. I’m not sure of the official time needed to charge the case, but I can say that I don’t believe it is very long and the case seems to hold a really good charge for quite a while. I don’t think I’ve seen my battery percentage dip under 50 yet.
Included in the box are also two USB-C to USB-C charging cables (one short, one longer), as well as a USB-C to Aux cable.
I recommend installing the JBL Headphones app which is available on both iOS and Android devices. The app gives you more a few more features with the ability to customize and personalize your earbuds and charging case even more. There are even features to adjust how you sound to people you’re on a phone call with and separate features to adjust how they sound to you! Really cool if you ask me.
All in all – I give these a 10. They are literally perfect in my most honest opinion. Salute to the team of genius minds at JBL for this – I‘m truly in love here.

Features to love.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Use earbuds while doing activities like working on the yard/garage. The noise canceling features are awesome with jobs that produce high decibels, lawnmower, edgers, weed wackers and the leaf blowers. The real treats are the attached pictures that are new to earbuds, at least to me. Sound is pure JBL and the touch pads on the buds make it easy to switch modes of listening.

Auracast Earbuds with Most Advanced Charging Case
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL Tour Pro 3 has the largest touch screen charging case. Does a charging case really needs to be touch screen? The screen provides control for music playback/information, phone call management and caller ID. The display lets me access my phone controls and info without having to take the phone out of my purse! Auracast button on the screen enables sharing audio content with other Auracast-enabled devices. Spatial 360 with head tracking technology makes me enjoy my music more while I am cooking, walking the dog or doing chores. I like the noise cancelling feature and the battery life is amazing like any other JBL headphones I own!

Small package A lot of features.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the obvious I noticed right away was the screen it had and even more impressed with the features it has from finding your earbuds to changing the equalizer to your liking. My personal favorite was the flashlight feature. Overall a great gift to yourself or someone highly recommend.

I’m in Love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These new earbuds offer a professional aural experience with extreme noise cancellation and very satisfying bass boost features. No one has to be quiet because the sound isolation solves the problem of enduring speaking or crying noises that can occur during the time that you are playing music for your own enjoyment. Every song with its own sound and sonic features sounded amazing. I liked all of the tapping functions, touch response on the earbuds, blue lighting and the digital charging case with a tv-like picture of New York City on the front. I’m in love with the earbuds and the quality material of the tips. There are several customizable ear tip options. You can also do an eq with the app and make adjustments to get the sound you want using Bluetooth or the included cables connection. There is even a privacy feature for taking phone calls and equalizing your audio so that when you speak the listener can hear more distinctive voice sounds from the caller. So tell your professional friends and colleagues about these earbuds. Don’t get me wrong—among the good sounding earbuds out there these are exceptionally good quality earbuds that are fitting for listeners with busy lives. Enjoy your on-the-go musical journey complemented by a carrying case that lets you view the charge percentage. You have the option to change the wallpaper of the outside screen of the case to other interesting wallpapers. These earbuds are not tinny and the drivers offer a robust range and movie theater in-ear experience. The quick setup is easily done in a few minutes. Unboxing, you don’t have to wait a long time to do full charging before you start using the app and earbuds together. Just follow the setup steps included in the quick setup instructions inside the box. The smart wireless features are super enjoyable with your smartphone devices. So immerse yourself in your favorite music as you are on the go or sitting still at home. You’ll fall in love with the sound quality immediately and you’ll love the comfort and joy of wearing your new earbuds everyday.
