JBL is raising the bar for audio enthusiasts with its latest offerings: the JBL Tour One M3 headphones and the PartyBox 520 speaker. Designed to meet the needs of the most discerning fans, these products combine cutting-edge technology with premium sound quality. However, fans should brace themselves for an investment, as these devices are set to hit the market with price tags that reflect their advanced features.
Unmatched Sound and Innovative Features
Gone are the days when headphones required a charging case. The JBL Tour One M3 headphones stand out with the inclusion of a wireless audio transmitter, featuring a user-friendly touchscreen, and priced at $399.95. This revolutionary JBL Smart Tx transmitter is a game changer, significantly diminishing the lag typically seen with Bluetooth technology, ensuring a seamless connection to various audio sources, including in-flight entertainment systems, PCs, tablets, and TVs.
While the exact standalone price for the Tour One M3 headphones remains undisclosed, their predecessor, the JBL Tour One M2, is usually sold for $300 without any smart transmitting accessory. The new flagship model boasts impressive upgrades, including an extended battery life of 70 hours (up from 50 hours), and second-generation True Adaptive Noise Cancelling technology.
The JBL Tour One M3 headphones feature eight noise-cancelling microphones and a sophisticated four-microphone adaptive beamforming system that ensures exceptional call clarity. With large 40mm Mica drivers, these headphones promise to deliver outstanding sound quality, along with spatial audio capabilities and head-tracking support, all enhanced by the latest Bluetooth 5.3 standards. They will be available in black, mocha, and blue starting April 13.
Finding the Perfect Party Speaker
JBL recognizes that its customers come with different needs, and it has crafted the PartyBox 520 speaker for those who demand power at a price of $799. This impressive speaker delivers a maximum output of 400 watts, designed for the ultimate party experience. Meanwhile, the PartyBox Encore 2 and Encore Essential 2, priced at $399 and $299 respectively, offer a more budget-friendly option with 100W output, appealing to more modest partygoers looking for quality without breaking the bank.
All three models feature AI Sound Boost technology, provide Bluetooth 5.4 with Low Energy audio support, and boast IPX4 water resistance for durability. Each speaker also has built-in handles for easy transportation and is equipped with sizable batteries to keep the party going for up to 15 hours. The downside? Interested buyers will have to wait until June for the launch just in time for summer festivities.
