JBL Introduces Tour Pro 3 True Wireless

JBL has launched the JBL Tour PRO 3 in New Zealand, the brand’s 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 an improved Smart Charging Case packing unique features, JBL Tour PRO 3 redefines the TWS listening and user experience.

 

“The JBL Tour PRO 3 sets new standards in customisation, performance, and convenience. New Zealanders will be particularly excited by the new generation Smart Charging Case. The new audio transmitter technology unlocks so many potential scenarios for improving the listening experience, from air travel to group listening sessions,” says Michael Sherman, Senior Strategy Manager at JBL New Zealand.

 

At the forefront of the JBL Tour PRO 3's innovations is the second-generation Smart Charging Case. The case provides full control of the earbud features and works as a wireless audio transmitter, enabling 'Everywhere Entertainment’ from any USB or analogue source, such as an inflight entertainment system. Plug in the charging case for an instant and automatic connection to your earbuds.

 

Better yet, the direct connection between the case and earbuds is more stable and has 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 Auracast functionality. Using the Auracast button on the Smart Charging Case display, you can easily share audio content with any Auracast-enabled device. 

 

The redesigned Smart Charging Case 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.

 

The JBL Tour PRO 3 brings JBL Spatial 360 and Head Tracking technology from any audio source. This feature transforms stereo sound into a fully immersive experience - particularly beneficial when watching movies or playing games. Head Tracking deepens the immersive experience by making sounds appear outside your head and stay fixed in space, even when you move your head.

 

JBL Tour PRO 3 boasts a hybrid dual-driver system in each earbud, the first for JBL TWS. The balanced armature driver handles the high notes with enhanced clarity, freeing the 11mm dynamic driver to provide 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.

 

Most JBL Tour PRO 3 features are fully customisable, including the True Adaptive Noise Cancellation 2.0 technology. This advanced system measures over 50,000 times per second, adapting to environmental changes and compensating for sound leakage.

 

The Personi-fi 3.0 hearing test offers a customised sound profile for a fully personalised sound. This JBL algorithm accurately measures and adjusts individual hearing profiles using 12 bands for EQ compensation and 14 warble tones. The adjustments are made separately for each ear, providing the most personalised listening experience.

 

Additionally, Tour PRO 3 allows users to personalise the display lock screen and wallpaper with any photo and supports display commands in 13 languages.

 

JBL Tour PRO 3 has an RRP of NZ$429.95 and will be available in Black and Latte colourways from JBL.co.nz and authorised retailers, including PB Tech, Spark, JB HiFi, Harvey Norman, Noel Leeming, Smiths City, Heathcotes and Mighty Ape.
