True Adaptive Noise Cancelling (ANC)

The earbuds feature best-in-class True Adaptive Noise Cancelling, which uses four noise-sensing microphones to automatically adjust to your surroundings in real-time. This allows you to either completely block out external distractions or control the amount of ambient sound you wish to hear. The JBL Headphones App includes an audio compensation filter to fine-tune ANC levels based on your ear canal's unique shape.

Personal Sound Amplification allows for customized ambient sound levels, and a voice equalizer and voice level optimizer provide full control over your outgoing voice and incoming audio levels.

Battery Life and Charging

The JBL Live Beam 3 offers up to 12 hours of playback on a single charge (with ANC off), with an additional 36 hours provided by the charging case, totaling 48 hours of combined playback.
