JBL Tour One M3 Smart Tx Headphones With Transmitter

The first thing that sets the JBL Tour One M3 Smart Tx apart sits in the box before you even put the headphones on — a small transmitter with its own touchscreen. Plug it into a TV or laptop and suddenly a non-Bluetooth source becomes wireless, no app fumbling required, just a tap on the screen to switch inputs. It’s the kind of thing you don’t think you need until a flight with in-flight entertainment makes the case for you.

Sound Built for Detail

The 40mm mica-dome dynamic drivers with Hi-Res Audio support deliver a clean, layered sound, and the built-in DAC lets you run lossless audio over USB-C when you want the cleanest signal path. Over Bluetooth, LDAC keeps wireless listening close to that same standard, so you’re rarely making a real trade-off switching between wired and wireless.

Noise Cancelling That Adapts

8-mic True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0 reads the room continuously — a quiet office barely triggers it, a busy terminal pushes it harder — and Ambient Aware or TalkThru let you step back into the world without removing the headphones, which turns out to be one of those features you reach for more often than expected.

Spatial Sound That Moves With You

JBL Spatial 360 with head tracking keeps audio anchored in space as you turn your head during a film, adding a sense of place that flat stereo just doesn’t manage. Four beamforming microphones handle calls, while Smart Talk quietly lowers your music the moment you start talking.

Built for Long Sessions

At 278 grams and foldable, with a carrying case for travel, the headphones offer up to 70 hours of total playback — enough for a long-haul flight without watching the battery indicator. Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio, Auracast, and Google Fast Pair round out a connectivity set built for switching between devices without friction, and the whole package is competitively positioned given what the Smart Tx transmitter adds on its own.
