A Fully Functional Display on the Case
The charging case here is the highlight. It features a built-in 1.45-inch touchscreen display that lets you tweak volume, adjust sound settings, control music, see your messages, customize the screensaver, and even take calls, without even pulling your phone out.
Now for the earbuds; you’re getting Adaptive Noise Canceling, which automatically adjusts to your surroundings in real time using four built-in mics. This is fully customizable, so you can also fine-tune how much ambient noise you want to let in, and the audio compensation filter in the JBL headphones app lets you adjust it further based on the shape of your ear canal.
Regardless of the mode, sound quality is top-notch. The 10mm dynamic drivers powered by JBL Signature Sound capture all the highs and lows perfectly, delivering a deep, yet balanced audio at every volume level. JBL spatial sound surrounds you from all sides, making it feel like you’re right in the middle of a concert. Podcasts will be crystal clear, movies are going to pull you in, and all your favorite songs will come to life with every beat.
Calls get a boost, too. There are six beamforming microphones that reduce background interference, and you can also create your ideal calling environment by tweaking ambient sound levels as per your preferences. Battery-wise, you’re looking at 12 hours of playtime from the earbuds, and the charging case holds another 36 hours. Best of all, a 10-minute fast charge gives you an extra 4 hours of playback. Plus, these play nicely with both wired and wireless chargers.
Multi-point connection lets you switch between devices within seconds. And since JBL Live Beam 3 earbuds are IP55-rated, occasional water splashes and dust won’t hurt them.
All in all, these JBL earbuds pack an impressive performance in a compact, minimal build. The touchscreen on the case lets you manage sound settings without needing your phone, which is quite rare to see in a pair this affordable.
