JBL this week introduced a new lineup of earbuds that have similar advanced features and specs, in three different styles. The JBL Live 3 Earbuds series all come with a "Smart Charging Case" that includes a 1.45-inch touch display for controlling settings, music, calls, and more. All of the Live 3 models come in at $200, making them more affordable than the JBL Tour Pro 2 which first debuted the Smart Charging Case. Other features of the new series include True Adaptive Noise Cancelling, wireless Hi-Res audio (LDAC), JBL Spatial Sound, 6 mics, wireless charging, and IP55 or IP54 water resistance. JBL also promises a software update that will add Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio.

The JBL Live Buds 3 are standard "bud-style" and offer 10 hours of battery life (plus another 30 from the case).
The JBL Live Beam 3 are "closed type stick" style (like Apple AirPods Pro) and offer 12 hours of battery life (plus another 36 from the case).
The JBL Live Flex 3 are "open type stick" style (like standard Apple AirPods) and offer 10 hours of battery life (plus another 40 from the case). They also sport larger 12mm drivers (the other models are 10mm).

The JBL Live 3 Earbuds series will be available on JBL.com starting Summer 2024. All are available in either black or silver.
