JBL launched the LIVE FLEX 3 TWS last week in China for 1,399 yuan ($212) with 12mm dynamic drivers and a built-in touch screen. The company has now launched another TWS earphone with a similar touch screen called the LIVE BUDS 3. You can learn more about the LIVE FLEX 3 here. Let’s check out the latter one here.
The LIVE BUDS 3 will go on sale at 0:00 tomorrow in China with an initial price tag of 1,299 Yuan (~$179).
JBL LIVE BUDS 3 specs and features:
Audio and ANC
This pair of TWS earphones offer 10mm composite diaphragm driver units with neodymium magnets that present a concert-like sense of presence with crisp and clear audio. This product also offers 3D spatial audio.
The earbuds equip an in-ear detection feature that can take certain steps on its own such as pausing the audio as you remove the earbuds or automatically receiving a phone call when you are wearing them. It adds convenience and can also save some battery power. You can also customize the sound output using the equalizer to adjust the base to your preference. It is designed to offer a balanced sound output.
This earphone has an Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature and it can switch between 7 levels of noise cancellation based on the environment. You can also control it yourself via the JBL Headphones app.
The microphone matrix inside and outside the headset is also equipped with a digital noise reduction software engine, which helps the earbuds generate reverse sound waves with high precision to achieve noise reduction and noise cancellation. The earplugs are also reportedly soundproof, which means they are designed to prevent environmental noise from getting inside your ear canal.
Battery life and charging
The LIVE BUDS 3 offers 10 hours of battery life on a single session and 30 hours of battery life with the charging case. It also supports fast charging and offers 4 hours of playback with 10 minutes of charging. Notably the battery life the company has mentioned is likely tested with ANC turned off and turning it on will consume additional power and result in a relatively lower battery backup.
Something special
As you can see from the image, there is a 1.5″ LCD color screen that supports one-finger touch control. You can also change the wallpaper on the screen.
Sometimes it can be more convenient to utilize the case rather than the touch controls on the earbuds. This is where the screen on the case comes handy. It lets the user switch between noise reduction, spatial audio, sound effect modes, and sleep aid mode from the charging case.
