JBL Launches Premium Tour One M3 Wireless Headphones in India

JBL Tour One M3 Wireless Headphones Now Available in India

JBL, a well-known name in audio products, has launched its premium wireless headphones, the Tour One M3, in India. First revealed at CES 2025, these headphones bring several upgrades over their predecessors, including better noise cancellation and extended battery life. The model is also expected to reach Nepal soon, and we outline its specs, features, and anticipated pricing below.

Design and Comfort

The Tour One M3 retains JBL’s classic over-ear design with cushioned ear cups and a lightweight frame. It sports a mostly matte finish and comes in three color options: Mocha, Blue, and Black. The visual design remains similar to the previous Tour One M2, so users familiar with earlier models will find the layout unchanged.

Audio Performance and Features

Equipped with 40mm dynamic drivers, the Tour One M3 uses the same drivers as the M2 but adds a built-in DAC for lossless audio via USB-C. It also supports the LDAC codec, enabling up to 24-bit high-resolution streaming over Bluetooth. The headphones feature JBL Spatial 360 with head tracking for an immersive sound experience and True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0, powered by an eight-microphone array for improved noise reduction.

Additional features include Ambient Aware, which lets users stay aware of their surroundings, and SmartTalk, which pauses playback when the user begins speaking. The JBL Headphones app offers Personi-Fi 3.0, allowing users to tailor the audio to their unique hearing profile. An optional Smart Tx audio transmitter accessory enables connections to various audio sources and streaming to Auracast-enabled devices.

Battery Life

JBL has improved battery performance with the Tour One M3, offering up to 70 hours of playback on a single charge without noise cancellation active. With ANC enabled, the headphones provide around 40 hours of continuous use. A full charge takes just 2 hours via USB-C.
