JBL’s latest flagship over‑ear headphones, the Tour One M3, are now available in the Philippines. The cans feature True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0, Hi-Res audio (24-bit) over Bluetooth 5.3, and JBL Spatial 360 with head-tracking. The weight is listed as 278 g, and colour options include Black, Blue, and Latte. Battery life is rated up to 70 hours with ANC off (up to 40 hours with ANC on).
Pricing & availability (Philippines): The Tour One M3 retails at ₱19,999 for the headphones alone, or ₱26,999 when bundled with the JBL Smart Tx touchscreen transmitter. Units are available via JBL stores and authorized retailers nationwide, with online availability also noted.
What Smart Tx adds: The optional Smart Tx is a pocketable transmitter with a screen that lets the headphones connect wirelessly to sources that don’t natively support Bluetooth—think in‑flight entertainment, TVs, PCs, and more via USB‑C or 3.5 mm. It also supports Auracast for group listening and provides quick access to playback and ANC controls.
Hardware highlights: The Tour One M3 employs 40 mm mica‑dome drivers and a 10‑mic array (eight of which power the adaptive ANC system) to enhance call clarity and noise suppression. The package also supports personalization features through the JBL app, including Personi-Fi 3.0, EQ tuning, and Smart Talk.
Context: Internationally, the Tour One M3 launched at $349 for the headphones and $399 with Smart Tx, positioning them against travel‑friendly ANC flagships from Sony and Bose, while the transmitter gives JBL a unique angle for low‑latency listening from wired sources
