JBL has elevated audio technology with the introduction of the Tour ONE M3 headphones, featuring a perfect blend of innovative audio functions and seamless connectivity. Equipped with the industry’s first JBL SMART Tx audio transmitter, these headphones are setting a new benchmark for over-ear audio devices, designed for music lovers, audio enthusiasts, travelers, and anyone demanding premium sound experiences.
Revolutionary JBL SMART Tx Technology
At the forefront of the Tour ONE M3 enhancements is the groundbreaking JBL SMART Tx technology. This compact wireless audio transmitter, equipped with a touchscreen, allows users to enjoy their favorite entertainment from virtually any location. It connects seamlessly to USB-C or analog audio sources such as inflight entertainment systems, PCs, tablets, or televisions. The direct wireless link between the transmitter and headphones not only enhances stability but also minimizes latency, ensuring exceptional audio quality during calls. 
The first JBL SMART Tx audio transmitter grants the Tour ONE M3 total device, source, and content independence, breaking down barriers for wireless headphone connectivity. Additionally, it provides complete control over headphone functions, allowing users to manage music playback, calls, EQ settings, and stream audio to an unlimited number of devices using Auracast™. The headphones are also available without the SMART Tx audio transmitter.
“With the JBL Tour ONE M3, we take a significant leap forward in audio innovation,” said Carsten Olesen, President of Consumer Audio at HARMAN. “This launch not only introduces JBL’s first integrated Smart Tx Audio Transmitter in an over-ear headphone but also sets a new industry standard, demonstrating JBL’s commitment to enhancing sound technology and redefining the listening experience.”
Personalized Listening Experience
The JBL Tour ONE M3 is designed with the latest 40mm Mica Dome drivers, meticulously tuned to deliver deep bass, balanced mids, and clear highs. This attention to detail ensures that every note and nuance comes to life, whether enjoying Hi-Res Bluetooth or a wired USB-C connection without compromising quality.
Personalization is taken to the next level with JBL Personi-Fi 3.0, allowing listeners to create a custom hearing profile by participating in a hearing test within the JBL Headphones app. The updated algorithm and refreshed user experience make Personi-Fi 3.0 more accurate than ever, complete with a 12-band EQ and separate optimization for left and right channels.
Immersive Sound Experience
JBL’s next-generation Spatial 360 technology transforms film and gaming content into a cinematic experience. Integrated head tracking enhances immersion by keeping sound fixed even as the listener turns their head, making it feel as though they are truly within the action.
Unmatched Noise Cancelling and Comfort
The JBL Tour ONE M3 features JBL True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0, which creates a responsive listening experience by adapting to external noise in real-time. Utilizing an advanced system of eight microphones, it effectively blocks distractions, whether it be urban chaos or airplane engines. For those who wish to remain aware of their surroundings, the Ambient Aware and TalkThru modes can be customized through the JBL Headphones app.
Designed for all-day use, the JBL Tour ONE M3 combines comfort and performance with a lightweight frame and soft ear cushions padded with specialized foam that enhances passive noise cancellation. With a playtime of up to 70 hours, a quick five-minute charge provides an additional five hours of use, minimizing interruptions to the listening experience.
The JBL Tour ONE M3, featuring JBL SMART Tx technology, is priced at €399.99 and is expected to launch on April 15, 2025, through select retailers and on JBL.com. It will be available in Black, Mocha, and Blue. The headphone model without JBL SMART Tx will also be available on the same date for €349.99.
