Real-time noise cancellation
JBL has long been known for competitive noise cancellation, but the Tour One M3 Smart TX raises the bar with Adaptive Noise Canceling 2.0. Adaptive Noise Canceling 2.0 is designed to give users ultimate control, with multiple settings easily managed through the JBL Headphones App.

Ambient Aware lets in just the right amount of outside sound so you can stay aware of your surroundings without removing your headphones. TalkThru automatically lowers the volume when it detects your voice, making it easy to have a quick conversation without hitting pause or taking the headphones off.

| There's a lot of audio customization features to explore on the JBL Headpones app. |
One of the Tour One M3 Smart TX’s biggest strengths is its adaptive noise cancelling, capable of blocking out even something as loud as an airplane engine. With an 8-microphone system, it makes real-time adjustments to instantly adapt to changing noise levels.
What's that little touchscreen transmitter for?
Every JBL Tour One M3 Smart TX package comes with a compact smart transmitter or a Smart TX. Despite its tiny body, it works wonders.
