My Favorite Travel Headphones Are on Sale for $150.
As a headphone reviewer, I rarely review anything but flagship models from Sony, Bose, and Apple. However, the JBL Tour One M3 Smart Tx headphones not only impressed me when I first heard about them, but they’ve also become my go-to headphones, replacing the Sony 1000XM6 . The Tour One M3 have been reduced to $299.95 (originally $449.95), their lowest price ever, according to price tracking tools . This is a great deal for these headphones, which I named my favorite travel headphones in my review.
Everything about the Tour One M3 headphones, from their design to their functionality, is designed with travel in mind. The headphones are incredibly lightweight, which, combined with the comfortable, soft earpads and headband, makes them ideal for extended wear. I was able to wear them on a long flight without feeling any fatigue. Feeling like you’re not wearing headphones at all is the gold standard for comfort, and the Tour One M3 exceed all expectations. Battery life is also impressive: up to 70 hours with active noise cancellation turned off and 40 hours with it on.
The compact, convenient travel case has an additional compartment for the audio transmitter, which is the Tour One M3’s best feature. It’s a high-quality, low-latency audio transmitter. Essentially, you can wirelessly connect the Tour One M3 to any device with an AUX, USB, or USB-C port for high-quality 24-bit audio. Most people will primarily use these headphones by connecting them to the in-flight entertainment system, allowing them to watch movies in high-quality LDAC format with active noise cancellation. But I also used them for watching TV.
The Tour One M3 Smart Tx headphones are incredible travel headphones, especially for $300, and I recommend them to anyone who values comfort, battery life, simplicity, and who likes the idea of an audio transmitter.
