JBL Tour One M3 Review: Amazing Noise Cancelling Headphones

There are plenty of Sonic-friendly features, including volume limiters to keep your hearing safe, smart talk to stop sounds when speaking smart talk, and personalized listening with built-in hearing tests. Spatial audio is also explained. This includes head tracking available for fixed 3D effects. Especially with regard to stereo sources, JBL’s interpretation has become particularly echoed, but I’m not a huge fan of these services anyway.

JBL’s app makes it easy to explore more bounties. There are also plenty of ways to customize, such as using a bass dynamic EQ switch to raise the bass when listening to bass, or a sound level optimizer for the evening voice of a call. You can use EQ presets on both sides of the call to further optimize the call, but leaving it in a natural setting should be enough to impress even a picky listener. On one test call, while I was in and out of the bathroom fan, my musician Buddy said it was the best I’d ever heard on the phone. Not bad, JBL.

JBL obviously paid special attention to the M3’s microphone. This is a sign tailored to your noise cancellation skills, but even if the noise cancellation is not engaged, the cozy ear cups offer impressive passive noise isolation. Turn off ANC and eliminate local sounds like keystrokes completely. When you turn it on, you will get almost disorientation of sound suppression.

While I was fixing lunch in the kitchen, I realized that virtually nothing had passed through. Setting a mayoger and sandwich toppings on the counter was silent. There was no fridge. Even just closing the garage doors made little noise when the podcast was playing.

It sounds like cars and birds passing by are slipping through, but the M3 did an amazing job of eliminating most of the trouble, including studio testing with videos such as vocal chats and airplane drones. Catch them in their rogue gallery The best noise cancellerBose’s Squiet Comfort Ultra only offers a notable advantage, with the M3 in the hair of Sony’s WH-1000XM5, his second favorite noise canceler in multiple tests.
