The New JBL Headphones Arrive on the Market with Exclusive Wireless Transmitter, 360 Spatial Sound, and Detailed Audio Personalization. They Promise High Performance in Travel, Calls, and Daily Use, with Long Battery Life and Smart Features.
JBL has expanded its premium line with the Tour One M3 and Tour One M3 SMART Tx, presented as the most comprehensive over-ear models from the brand.
The models feature adaptive noise cancellation 2.0 with eight microphones, 360 spatial sound with head tracking, and audio personalization via app, along with long battery life and a wireless transmitter that solves connectivity in airplane screens and other non-Bluetooth sources.
Noise Cancellation with Eight Microphones
In both headphones, the strategy is to combine advanced features with uncomplicated use.
-
Greenland is already losing 30 million tons of ice per hour; scientists see a risk of an irreversible tipping point and warn that sea levels could still rise for centuries even if emissions stop today.
-
Scientists are studying GJ 1214 b, a planet 40 light-years away that may concentrate water on a much larger scale than Earth, and this “ocean world” helps to understand how to store, protect, and maintain the planet’s most valuable resource under extreme conditions.
-
Scientists are investigating Ganymede, a moon larger than Mercury that may hide a global ocean under kilometers of ice, containing more water than all of Earth’s oceans and transforming the largest satellite in the Solar System into a colossal, yet inaccessible, reservoir.

18 scientists issue a warning in a new study: extreme events could affect 36% of terrestrial habitats by 2085 and subject species to heat, fires, droughts, and floods in succession.
The True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0 identifies the environment in real-time and automatically adjusts the isolation.
There are four microphones in each earcup to capture external noises and apply inverse phase, reducing wind, traffic, and other voices without requiring user intervention.
Meanwhile, the JBL Spatial 360 processes stereo content and creates a more realistic soundstage.
With the head tracking, the position of sound sources remains fixed in space as the user moves, enhancing the immersive feeling in music, movies, series, and games.
Custom Sound with Personi-Fi 3.0
Sound personalization has been highlighted with Personi-Fi 3.0.
Through the JBL Headphones app, the user takes a hearing test and generates a personalized profile.
Then, they can refine the signature with 12-band equalization and L/R balancing.
The goal is to tailor the headphones to individual audio preferences and characteristics without losing JBL’s signature sound.
40 mm Drivers and Hi-Res Audio
Internally, the models feature 40 mm drivers tuned to the brand’s signature sound.
They support Hi-Res in different modes: via USB-C, thanks to the integrated DAC that delivers accurate conversion with low distortion; via Bluetooth 5.3, with high-resolution codecs like LDAC; and also via P2 (3.5 mm) cable for analog connections.
The aim is to ensure consistent quality in any scenario, from smartphones to laptops, including non-wireless sources.
Smart Tx: Wireless Transmitter for Airplane and Beyond
The standout feature of the SMART Tx package is the dedicated wireless transmitter.
Small and featuring a touchscreen, it connects via USB-C or 3.5 mm and sends audio directly to the headphones, creating a stable link designed for low latency.
On flights, this allows the use of in-flight entertainment without dangling cables.
At home or work, it enables calls to TVs, consoles, old PCs, and other equipment that lack Bluetooth or have unstable connections.
The accessory is also compatible with Auracast, a feature that allows transmission to multiple compatible devices simultaneously.
The transmitter’s battery lasts for up to 18 hours, sufficient for long journeys.
Clearer Calls and Smart Features
In addition to the eight microphones for ANC, there are four beamforming microphones dedicated to calls, supported by echo and noise reduction algorithms.
The app allows users to adjust how much of their own voice they hear during a call (VoiceAware) and balance the volumes of the interlocutors.
Features like Smart Talk automatically pause the music when the headphones detect the user speaking, resuming playback once the conversation ends.
Battery with Up to 70 Hours of Playback
The Tour One M3 reaches up to 70 hours of playback with ANC off and up to 40 hours with ANC active.
For emergencies, fast charging provides 5 hours of use in just 5 minutes of charging.
A full charge takes about 2 hours via USB-C, according to JBL’s specifications.
Advanced Connectivity with Bluetooth 5.3
The headphones operate with Bluetooth 5.3 and support LE Audio and Auracast, which enhances stability and energy efficiency.
The first connection on Android is simplified by Google Fast Pair.
Those switching between tablet and phone benefit from Google Audio Switch for automatic switching.
All settings — ANC, ambient modes, EQ, and smart functions — are concentrated in the JBL Headphones app, both for Bluetooth use and wired calls.
Complete Package for Different Profiles
For travelers, the Smart Tx transmitter eliminates hassles and maintains headphone quality on airplane screens or older sources.
For those seeking immersion, the Spatial 360 with head tracking and the curve recalibrated by Personi-Fi 3.0 deliver a more engaging and tailored experience.
In parallel, the combination of 40 mm drivers, USB-C DAC, and LDAC completes the high-resolution package, while the long-lasting battery reduces charging anxiety throughout the week.
With this set, JBL positions the Tour One M3 and Tour One M3 SMART Tx among the most comprehensive models available, targeting users who value versatility without sacrificing silence, power, and convenience.
