JBL Live Beam 3 True Wireless Stereo (TWS) Earphones

The JBL Live Beam 3 truly wireless stereo (TWS) has an in-ear design with a snug fit. The stem has a thick cylindrical shape and gesture controls are supported across the entire length. The charging case features a touch screen display with thick bezels, JBL branding, and a monochrome shimmery finish.

In day-to-day usage, the earphones offer an above-average active noise cancellation (ANC) effect. When indoors, the ANC can shut out the sound of most electronic equipment, including the TV playing at a moderate volume. Outdoors, it can block the sound of distant vehicles and general noises. But vehicles moving nearby or a loud horn will still be distinctively audible.

The battery performance of the JBL Live Beam 3 is quite impressive. In my experience, I was consistently able to get between seven to eight hours of playtime with ANC and upwards of nine hours without ANC. The sound level was consistently kept between 50 to 60 percent. The charging time from zero to 100 in the case takes roughly about two hours.
