JBL Live Beam 3

Slick earphones with a touch-screen case; Extensive battery life; Premium sound quality; Good active noise cancellation (ANC); Comprehensive companion app; PCMag Editor's Choice

Earphones don't quite fit perfectly for everyone; Plastic finish makes earpieces prone to shifting with heavy movements; ANC not on the same level as class leaders; AmbientAware mode doesn't sound very natural; Spatial Sound profiles not compelling for...

JBL's Live Beam 3 earbuds deliver enjoyable audio, great battery life, a good range of codecs, and a slick companion app. They don't compete with class leaders on the ANC front, but then again, they cost substantially less. A slightly finicky fit and...

Vastly improved audio ; Screen does more – including lock-screen images ; Excellent battery life

Somewhat weak spatial audio profiles ; ANC is good, but beaten by class-leaders

There's so much more to like about JBL's Live Beam 3 – the second-gen offering of JBL's screen-on-case earbuds – besides the case. What actually sets them apart is the leap in sound quality, which is now energetic and full-bodied, but also more...

Case screen is brilliantly useful ; Neat design ; App is concise

Sound is just fine ; ANC falls a little short ; Gestures lag behind competitors

If you want to own a futuristic pair of earbuds without breaking the bank, look no further. I still maintain that the case screen is a magnificent idea which can totally transform the user experience, and the overall package here is really enticing.

Case with screen a dream for multi-device users ; Excellent battery life, with ANC and without ; Engaging, entertaining sound

No major new screen-friendly software additions ; LDAC Bluetooth restricts sound customisation

Makes JBL’s clever touchscreen case that much more mainstream, no matter your preferred flavour of wireless earphones.

Adaptiv ANC (støjreduktion) ; Touch skærm og dens “evner” ; Lydkvalitet

Skærm på etui kan føles som gimmick til tider

JBL Live Beam 3 er et af mine bedre oplevelser med et par true wireless. De leverer en fantastisk lydoplevelse, der er et hav af features og batteritiden er ekseptionel. Der er ikke meget man kan klandre dem for andet end at touch skærmen måske ikke...
