Representative Director: Takuma Kuwabara) is pleased to announce that JBL, one of the world’s largest audio brands originating in California and the No. 1 wireless speaker seller in Japan for seven consecutive years, will begin accepting donations for the flagship open-ear, completely wireless earphone model, “JBL Sense Pro,” from JBL, a California-based company that has been the No. 1 seller of wireless speakers in Japan for seven consecutive years.*1 The company will begin accepting donations for the project to introduce the product to Japan on CCC Group’s crowdfunding site, “GREEN FUNDING,” starting at 10:00 AM on Friday, August 29th. In recent years, the spread of smartphones and other mobile devices has dramatically changed our lives. In entertainment, such as listening to music and watching videos, sound quality not only determines the satisfaction of the experience, but audio information also plays such an important role in business, influencing decision-making. These changes have led to a diversification of situations in which earphones and headphones are used, and accompanying longer wear times. Amid this, earphones that allow you to listen to other things while naturally taking in the sounds of your surroundings have become a hot trend. Open-ear, truly wireless earphones in particular are gaining popularity across a wide range of generations, thanks to their comfort and safety, thanks to their design that doesn’t block the ears. Another reason for their popularity is their ability to be used in everyday life, ensuring safety when out and about and not interfering with conversations with family. This product features an open-ear design that leaves your ears uncovered, while featuring a dynamic driver with a 16.2mm Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) diaphragm. This delivers not only the clear, powerful sound you expect from JBL, but also high resolution and extended high frequencies. It also supports the high-quality Bluetooth audio codec “LDAC” and is “Hi-Res Audio Wireless” certified. Additionally, the unique JBL Spatial Sound technology enhances the spatial expression of movies and music, bringing the same immersive experience as a live concert or movie theater right to your home.

The driver unit vibrates back and forth, generating out-of-phase sound waves with a 180-degree phase difference. By intentionally directing this sound, sound dispersion is suppressed. This minimizes sound leakage while also providing consideration for those around you and protecting your privacy. We paid careful attention to fit and developed unique, ergonomically designed three-dimensional ear hooks. They fit snugly to a variety of ear shapes, providing both comfort and stability. The lightweight titanium alloy wire and soft, supple liquid silicone material combine to create the ultimate fit, ensuring stress-free wear even over long periods of time. In addition, the angle adjustment function that was highly praised in the previous model, “Soundgear Sense,” has been retained. The adjustment mechanism has a range of motion of up to 20 degrees, allowing you to fine-tune the direction of the speaker holes to suit the shape of your ears and the position of the earphones, delivering a balanced sound from low to high frequencies. This prevents you from turning up the volume more than necessary and reduces the risk of sound leakage. The design not only provides comfort, but also takes into consideration both sound quality and privacy.

Both have a matte coating finish that retains a refined sheen and metallic texture while making fingerprints less noticeable. The sophisticated design gives a sense of luxury the moment you pick it up. The charging case features a smooth, rounded form and a
beautifully curved silhouette. It fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, creating a design you’ll love and want to carry with you. Together with the earphones themselves, they combine functionality and beauty to create a product that blends naturally into your everyday life. This product also features innovative features that make it useful in a wide range of situations, from business to entertainment. Equipped with a total of four beamforming microphones (one on each side) and a bone conduction audio pickup sensor, it accurately distinguishes between ambient sounds and the caller’s voice while picking up only the caller’s voice, making it ideal for business situations that require high-quality audio communication, such as calls and video conferences. The aerodynamic design of the microphone area also effectively reduces air turbulence around the microphone, suppressing wind noise and ensuring clear calls even during exercise or on the move. These are also the first JBL open-ear earphones to support Auracast™. By using them in combination with an Auracast™ transmitter, sound can be transmitted to multiple units
simultaneously, enabling unprecedented use cases, such as group dance practice in environments where loud noises are not permitted, or watching videos with multiple people while traveling on trains or bullet trains.

Not only can you adjust the sound quality to your liking with the 10-band EQ, but “Personi-Fi(TM) 3.0” accurately measures your left and right hearing in nine frequency bands to create an acoustic profile tailored to your individual hearing. This optimized sound reproduces music with greater clarity and impact, even while blending in with surrounding sounds, a feature unique to open-ear headphones. It also supports multi-point connection, allowing simultaneous connection of two devices, such as a smartphone and a tablet.
