……
Harman International Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Takuma Kuwabara) is the flagship of completely wireless earphones equipped with high-resolution wireless compatible hybrid noise canceling from JBL, one of the world’s largest audio brands originating from California, USA. The model “JBL TOUR PRO 3” will be released from October 3, 2024 (Thursday).
The completely wireless earphone market has expanded rapidly since around 2018, and has expanded with the spread of smartphones and tablets, and after the coronavirus pandemic, in recent years it has become popular not only for listening to music, but also for watching videos and SNS, and as a high-performance conference audio device. We are now in an era where “versatile” products that require performance are required. In fact, survey results show that the number of people who have “experienced purchasing two or more completely wireless earphones” is increasing year by year, increasing from approximately 31% in 2019 to approximately 55% in 2023. As a result, we believe that an increasing number of people are replacing their first completely wireless earphones or purchasing additional earphones for specific purposes. In addition, when asked about the “purchase price for completely wireless earphones,” the number of people who answered “30,000 yen or more” increased from 6% in 2019 to 17% in 2023. This suggests that people are looking for more mature and complete models when purchasing new fully wireless earphones. *1
Against this background, the JBL TOUR PRO 2, which was released as a flagship model in 2023 with the concept of “perfected wearing comfort and a new dimension of absolute sound quality,” has been developed with a focus on sound and design. , it attracted a lot of attention due to its high level of overall innovation in terms of functionality and fit, and received high praise, winning numerous awards including the Nikkei Trendy Hit Award and the DIME Hit Award.
The “TOUR PRO 3” to be released this time is a new JBL flagship model that has improved sound quality, noise canceling performance, new spatial sound, microphone performance, convenience, expandability, and more than the previous model. The most notable feature is that they are equipped with JBL’s first dual driver, achieving a dramatic improvement in sound quality from previous JBL completely wireless earphones and delivering the live-feeling sound that is unique to JBL. Aiming for even greater heights, “TOUR PRO 3” is an evolved flagship model that is generously equipped with overwhelming sound quality and a variety of advanced technologies, unleashing the conventional wisdom and possibilities of completely wireless earphones and creating a new audio experience.

Product overview/points
▲Black
▲Latte
– JBL’s first dual driver and LDAC compatible sound technology Equipped with JBL’s first “balanced armature driver” + “10mm diameter dynamic driver” dual drivers to reproduce deep bass, balanced midrange, and sophisticated treble. In addition, it is the first in the JBL TOUR series to support LDAC, and by connecting to a compatible smartphone or device, it is possible to transmit high-quality sound of up to 96kHz/24bit at a communication speed of up to 990kbps.
●Further advanced hybrid noise canceling 2.0 with new real-time correction function
We have further strengthened the filter calculation that corrects in real time according to the surrounding environment, and now support real-time adaptation according to the person wearing it. By adapting to all ear canal shapes and wearing conditions, it instantly achieves the optimal and best active noise canceling performance to suit each user. Furthermore, this is the first time for JBL to use foam ear tips. When inserted into the ear, the material swells to create a high seal, which enhances noise attenuation, especially in the high frequency range.
●Evolved new space sound & newly equipped head tracking function Compared to the previous model, the algorithm has been optimized using a chipset with higher processing power, achieving even more realistic and accurate spatial sound such as reverberation. Different tuning designs are applied to each of the three modes: Movie, Music, and Gaming. Furthermore, it is equipped with a new head tracking function, providing an immersive experience with easy calibration settings. It gives a sense of realism to the content you watch while enjoying the direction of the sound, such as live videos and sports viewing.
●Equipped with JBL’s first AI noise reduction algorithm and 6 microphones for calls for a clearer voice experience
Equipped with six call microphones, it ensures clear call quality by accurately collecting and analyzing the caller’s voice and
environmental noise. First use of AI noise reduction algorithm trained on various types of noise. By combining it with the conventional noise reduction algorithm, it achieves an average noise reduction effect of about 18dB compared to the previous model that only uses the noise reduction algorithm. In addition to “steady noise” that continues to occur for a certain period of time, such as from cars, crowds, and subways, it is now possible to more accurately suppress “transient noise” that suddenly occurs, such as the sound of a baby crying or chewing.
●Smart charging case that has evolved and become easier to use The much-talked-about smart charging case has a screen size
approximately 29% larger than the previous model. In addition, new functions such as “battery status display on the standby screen”, “display of album name and song name (including Japanese)”, “contact display when receiving a call”, “multipoint control”, “AURACAST connection”, and “codec display” are now available. The menu of the dedicated app “JBL Headphones” has also become more extensive, making it much easier to use.
●Expand your entertainment with transmitter function and AURACAST Equipped with a “transmitter function” that allows audio signals to be sent to earphones by connecting the “TOUR PRO 3” smart charging case to a φ3.5mm AUX connection or USB-C connection. In addition, by combining with “AURACAST”, it is also possible to send to multiple earphones and speakers at the same time. You can enjoy in-flight entertainment by sharing it with family and friends sitting next to you on the plane, enjoy powerful sound on a large screen even at night in your living room, or connect it to your PC and use it while charging the charging case. This expands the usage scenarios.
