JBL is a household name in the world of audio products. From speakers to headphones, wireless earbuds, to soundbars, the company makes all sorts of devices. And back at CES 2025, JBL announced its premium wireless headphones, the Tour One M3, with an optional smart audio transmitter. And it has finally arrived in India as well. So in this article, I will discuss everything about the JBL Tour One M3, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
JBL Tour One M3 Overview
Design and Comfort
The Tour One M3 sticks to the familiar over-ear design JBL has used before. Cushioned ear cups, a fairly light frame, and a mostly matte finish. It comes in "Mocha", "Blue", and "Black" finishes. Not much has changed visually from the M2, so if you’ve seen a Tour One before, you already know what to expect here.
Sound and other features
According to JBL, they have used the same 40mm dynamic drivers here as on the Tour One M2. But it now has a built-in DAC (Digital-Analog Converter) to let you enjoy lossless sound via the USB-C connection. Whereas it also supports the LDAC codec for up to 24-bit high-res streaming via Bluetooth.
Other than this, the Tour One M3 brings JBL Spatial 360 with head tracking for an immersive listening experience. Its new True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0 is now powered by an eight-microphone array for even more effective ANC.
Ambient Aware lets you hear your surroundings, and SmartTalk pauses playback when you start talking. You can tweak sound through the JBL Headphones app using Personi-Fi 3.0, which adjusts audio based on your hearing profile. And with the Smart Tx audio transmitter accessory, you can connect these headphones to any audio source or stream to any Auracast-enabled speakers or headphones.
