Just in time for autumn, JBL's new Tour Pro 3 earbuds bring top-tier sound with dual drivers for enhanced quality and clarity. The standout feature is the innovative Smart Charging Case, offering game-changing connectivity options, some being industry firsts. We've been testing them at Gamereactor over the past weeks.
"Just released for the autumn season, the Tour Pro 3 represent JBL's next step into top-of-the-line consumer earbuds.
The units themselves provide signature JBL sound at the highest level so far with their embedded dual drivers producing better quality, clarity and separation.
However, the biggest innovation comes with the groundbreaking connectivity features introduced by the earphones' evolved Smart Charging Case, some of them an absolute first in the field, and for the past couple of weeks we've been trying them out at Gamereactor."
"The JBL Tour Pro 3 Smart Charging Case can now act as a wireless transmitter and an analogue-to-digital converter.
And what does that mean, you might be wondering?
Well, while we were familiar with its handy touchscreen features, this new addition means you can now listen to any source, anywhere, and share it with everyone, wirelessly.
Say you want to dust off your good old Walkman, the included mini-jack adapter allows you to listen to your favourite analogue sources with the comfort, quality and isolation that JBL's TWS earbuds offer."
"Need to plug into your legacy analogue amplifier or a DJ mixer? You're covered.
Even better, if you fancy watching a movie or listening to music on a train or plane, where you can't always play your own content, just plug the Smart Charging Case into the in-flight entertainment system.
You'll get the best possible sound quality while simultaneously noise-cancelling the loud environment."
"You can do the same with more modern devices via USB-C if you want minimal latency or if you'd rather not link them via Bluetooth.
Take the Nintendo Switch, for instance. You can choose to go digital or analogue when in handheld mode and then transmit the sound from the stereo mini-jack plug directly when the console is resting on its Dock.
And what was that about sharing audio with others?
The JBL Tour Pro 3 fully supports Auracast, not just by connecting to an emitting device under the new standard, but also by acting as an emitter itself."
"With the Smart Charging Case, we've been able to listen to the same music simultaneously or to allow a couple to watch an episode of a series together on the same tablet, each person with their own Auracast-enabled earbuds.
With an unlimited number of receivers, just think of the possibilities this Smart Charging Case offers as the main transmitter at a party or during a group call for an entire team.
We've answered calls from the Smart Charging Case itself, received notifications, configured our listening experience or customised its wallpaper."
"Then, the JBL Tour Pro 3 have provided us with cutting-edge features such as seeing how their adaptive noise cancelling adjusts in real-time as you enter new environments, and enjoying spatial audio that keeps our stereo source fixed within relative space.
While much of this sounds futuristic yet celebrates the vintage, our time with the JBL Tour Pro 3 and its Smart Charging Case is already showing us how listening experiences will be forever changed in the near future."
