As someone who has been a loyal user of the JBL Tour PRO 2, I didn’t think JBL could push the boundaries further—yet here I am, amazed and thrilled with the JBL Tour PRO 3. It’s not just a successor; it’s a full-blown revolution in True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds.
From the moment I unboxed the Tour PRO 3, I could feel that JBL had truly stepped up its game. The sleek design of the updated Smart Charging Case™ immediately caught my attention. It’s more compact, yet somehow it manages to pack in a 30% larger display. The new screen isn’t just for show—it offers control over music playback, calls, and even displays caller ID and song details. I barely had to touch my phone while using it.
But what truly blew me away was the ‘Everywhere Entertainment’ feature. The case doubles as a wireless audio transmitter—plug it into an airplane’s entertainment system or any USB or analog source, and it seamlessly connects to the earbuds. The stable, low-latency connection is a dream for gaming and movies. I tested it on a long-haul flight, and the experience was nothing short of incredible.
Then there’s the sound quality. With JBL’s first-ever hybrid dual driver system in TWS earbuds, the audio is nothing short of phenomenal. The high notes are crystal clear, thanks to the balanced armature driver, while the dynamic driver delivers bass that’s powerful yet clean. Whether I was jamming to music or watching a movie, the depth and clarity of the sound felt almost surreal. The addition of LDAC support (for Android users) takes the audio to Hi-Res levels, and trust me, you’ll notice the difference.
Another feature I loved was the JBL Spatial 360 with Head Tracking. It transforms stereo sound into a 3D-like immersive experience. I used this while watching an action-packed movie, and it felt like the sound was coming from all around me—even as I moved my head. Gaming enthusiasts will absolutely love this.
What really sets the Tour PRO 3 apart, though, is its customization. From the Personi-fi 3.0 hearing test, which tailors the sound profile to each ear, to the extensive ear tip options ensuring the perfect fit, it’s clear that JBL wants you to have an entirely personalized experience. I even got to customize the display lock screen with a photo of my dog—it’s the little things that make these earbuds feel truly mine.
Calls are another area where the Tour PRO 3 shines. With six microphones and JBL’s Crystal AI algorithm, my voice was clear even in bustling coffee shops and noisy environments. The smart call equalizer was a lifesaver, especially when dealing with loud talkers or quiet speakers.
Finally, let’s talk about noise cancellation. The True Adaptive Noise Cancellation 2.0 tech adapts to my surroundings seamlessly, making everything from office work to workouts more enjoyable. It even handles sudden noises like a pro.
I honestly thought the Tour PRO 2 was unbeatable, but the Tour PRO 3 has proven me wrong in the best way possible. From the incredible audio quality to the innovative Smart Charging Case™, these earbuds are a masterpiece of technology and design. If you’re considering an upgrade or diving into premium TWS earbuds, the JBL Tour PRO 3 is worth every peso.
Available now in Black and Latte, these are not just earbuds—they’re a ticket to a whole new world of sound.
JBL, you’ve outdone yourselves yet again.
