JBL introduces a wave of updates to its range-topping JBL Tour ONE M3 headphones and JBL Tour PRO 3 earbuds, delivering improvements in audio performance and user experience to new and existing listeners.

The combination of premium design, high-quality sound, and class-leading features has made the flagship Tour over-ear headphones and TWS standout performers since their introduction. The JBL sound curve reimagines the listening experience, delivering more accurate, clearer audio. This joins a powerful user-interface update, transforming how you interact with the Smart Charging CaseTM and JBL Smart TX.

A more natural, more accurate sound curve

JBL introduces an update to its sound curve for JBL Tour ONE M3. Based on the industry-leading Harman Curve and extensively evaluated by ‘Golden Ears’ and controlled listening panels, the refined tuning has also been independently validated by Force Technology’s SenseLab.

The new JBL sound curve is available via over the air updates for current Tour ONE M3 models. Listeners will discover more controlled, natural bass, along with subtle enhancements in the mid and high frequencies. The result is a sound that is clearer, more balanced, and truer to the artist. Immerse yourself in the music as voices feel cleaner, instruments more lifelike, and fine details easier to hear across the entire spectrum, setting a new benchmark for precision and clarity. 

"The way people listen has fundamentally shifted with better hardware, higher-quality content, and smarter streaming making today's ears more discerning than ever. We are always striving to push the boundaries of sound performance and saw this as the perfect moment refine the JBL sound curve for our premium headphones. The new curve makes its debut on our flagship JBL Tour ONE M3, designed to deliver the clearest, most natural listening experience we’ve ever created.” said Carsten Olesen, President of Consumer Audio at HARMAN.
