JBL Unveils Live 3 Earbuds Series with Smart Charging Cases and Bluetooth LE Audio

Harman presented a complete expansion of its headphone and true wireless earbuds range at CES 2024, under the JBL brand. The 2024 offerings will include the expansion of the innovative Smart Charging Case - a connected case featuring a color screen - to the three models in the new JBL Live 3 Earbuds series. The well-rounded JBL Live 3 Earbuds series, includes the Buds, Beam and Flex models, covering the most popular form-factors, all using Bluetooth 5.3, with a promised LE Audio update.

Poly, the company that resulted from the merger of Plantronics and Polycom and is now part of HP, launched a range of three true wireless earbuds designed for work-from-anywhere, all with active noise cancellation, top notch features, and a unique design. Following the unveiling of two models earlier in 2023, Poly now also introduced an entry-level version Voyager Free 60. All are Bluetooth 5.3 Class 1 designs with innovative features.

It's never a small claim to announce "world’s first," but that was precisely one of the highlights from Harman's press conference at IFA 2022. JBL launched its most powerful and feature-rich headphones yet, the JBL Tour ONE M2 headphones, at the same time as it unveiled the JBL Tour PRO 2 True Wireless Earbuds. The new JBL Tour models combine improved audio, immersive sound, personalization, and improved ANC. The JBL Tour PRO 2 are the first true wireless earbuds to be encased in JBL’s innovative smart case.
