Post Cyber Monday savings: Take $50 off the JBL Tour Pro 3 at Best Buy
JBL Tour Pro 3 and Tour Pro 2 earbuds.

We here at Digital Trends have been covering noise-cancelling earbuds and headphones for years on end, and it’s an exciting field to stay on top of. Audio companies are all about ingenuity, and it’s been a thrill to watch in-ear and over-ear tech evolve so much, even in just the last year or so! Not long ago, we were able to test the JBL Tour Pro 3 Noise-Cancelling Earbuds, and AV expert Simon Cohen had the following to say: “For those who want it all, the JBL Tour Pro 3 have an unbeatable set of features.” Today, when you purchase the JBL Tour Pro 3 through Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart, you’ll only pay $250. At full price, these earbuds go for $300.

Why you should buy the JBL Tour Pro 3
We loved taking the JBL Tour Pro 2 earbuds for a test drive, and we had an even better experience with the Tour Pro 3. The dual-driver design helps to achieve a greater balance between highs, mids, and lows without overpowering any part of the mix you’re listening to. Throw in strong ANC, support for hi-res codecs (LDAC and LC3plus), optional wired listening, and an IP55 rating, and it becomes clear why we gave the Tour Pro 3 buds a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
