People today expect the best from their headphones — whether working remotely, jogging through the city, or traveling long haul. The demand for studio-level sound, reliable connectivity, and all-day comfort has never been higher.

Answering that call is the new Tour One M3 Series, a next-generation lineup of over-ear headphones built to deliver premium audio performance wherever life happens.
At the forefront is the Tour One M3 Smart Tx, the first in the series to feature JBL’s Smart Tx audio transmitter.

Unlike traditional Bluetooth-only headphones, this model can wirelessly connect to almost any device — from airplane entertainment screens and game consoles to laptops and TVs — via USB-C or analog input. The result is a seamless, stable, and low-latency audio experience that works across multiple platforms without limitations.

Inside, custom-engineered 40mm Mica Dome drivers power a detailed soundstage, balancing deep bass, clear mids, and crisp highs. Whether listening through high-resolution Bluetooth or via a lossless USB-C connection with an onboard DAC, users get accurate, dynamic sound tuned for critical listening or immersive entertainment.

The experience goes deeper with JBL Spatial 360 audio and head tracking, which anchors audio in a virtual space that shifts naturally with head movement — ideal for movies, music, and gaming.

Personalization is also front and center. Through the updated Personi-Fi 3.0 platform, users can generate a unique hearing profile based on an app-guided sound test. EQ and left/right audio balance are adjusted automatically for a sound signature tailored to individual hearing.

Noise control is powered by True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0, which uses eight built-in microphones to scan and adjust in real time based on the surrounding environment. From crowded cafes to airplane cabins, the headphones intelligently isolate sound.
Users can also activate Ambient Aware and TalkThru modes to stay connected to their surroundings when needed.

Voice clarity during calls is enhanced through adaptive beamforming and AI-driven noise filtering. The Tour One M3 is Zoom-certified over wired connection, ensuring consistent performance for virtual meetings and professional calls.

Comfort meets durability in the design, with ultra-soft foam cushions that improve passive noise cancellation and support long listening sessions. A lightweight, ergonomic build rounds out the all-day wear experience.

Battery life reaches up to 70 hours on a full charge, and a quick 5-minute boost provides an additional 5 hours of playback — perfect for users constantly on the move.
The Tour One M3 Series is available in two models. The Tour One M3 Smart Tx, which includes the Smart Transmitter, is priced at P26,999.

The standard Tour One M3, with the same core audio features but without the transmitter, is priced at P19,999. Both models are available in Black, Latte, and Blue through JBL stores, official retail partners, and online at JBL.com.ph.
