JBL’s sensible, touchscreen-equipped charging case is coming to the corporate’s newest era of Reside wi-fi earbuds. JBL says that the $250 Tour Professional 2 — the wi-fi earbuds that debuted the sensible charging case in 2023 — quickly bought out after they went on sale, proof, maybe, that there’s an untapped want that the touchscreen case meets.
The Reside 3 have been introduced at CES 2024 alongside JBL’s new Bluetooth audio system, wi-fi headphones, and get together audio system and can promote for $200 after they’re launched in summer time 2024. Like earlier JBL Reside wi-fi earbuds, the Reside 3 are available in three variations, however JBL has modified the naming conference to match its Tune household of wi-fi earbuds. The brand new fashions are the Reside Flex 3, the Reside Beam 3, and the Reside Buds 3. Every is available in a alternative of two colours: black and silver.

JBL Reside Flex 3 in silver. - 2.
JBL Reside Buds 3 in black.
The three variations provide a barely totally different match. The Beam is a completely closed stem-based design, the Flex makes use of a semi-open stem-based form, and the Buds are a completely closed stemless mannequin. The Beam and Buds fashions have an IP55 score for mud and water, whereas the Flex is IP54, making all three appropriate for exercises.
The one different main distinction between them is battery life: The Beam has the best per-charge stamina with a claimed 12 hours of playtime (plus 36 hours within the case) with ANC off, adopted by the Flex, which will get the very best complete time (10+40 hours), with the Buds at lowest general energy (10+30).
The sensible charging case is the largest change to the Reside collection in 2024, with a 1.45-inch touchscreen embedded within the entrance. You should use it to entry nearly any characteristic or setting the earbuds (or the JBL Headphones app) help. After I tried it throughout my evaluation of the Tour Professional 2, I discovered it enjoyable and simple to make use of however not massively helpful — it was no extra handy to make use of the case’s display than it was to make use of the app (or the earbuds’ contact controls).
Along with the sensible charging case, the JBL Reside 3 fashions get higher battery life, Bluetooth 5.3, and wi-fi hi-res audio courtesy of Sony’s LDAC Bluetooth codec. A deliberate future replace may also make the earbuds suitable with LE Audio for higher power effectivity and decrease latency.
The one characteristic that intrigues me most is the provision of JBL’s true lively noise cancellation (ANC) on the Reside Flex 3. Semi-open earbuds just like the Flex not often provide ANC as a result of, and not using a tight seal offered by silicone ideas, it may be very laborious for the ANC algorithms to cancel undesirable sounds — they have a tendency to leak into your ear anyway.
Actually, JBL has by no means supplied ANC on any of its earlier Flex earbuds, so simply how nicely it performs on the Reside Flex 3 is an open query. If ANC is a high precedence, I think that the Beam and Buds will nonetheless be a more sensible choice.
Rounding out their characteristic set is wi-fi charging, Bluetooth Multipoint, JBL’s spatial sound possibility, and 6 mics (three per earbud) for calls.
