We rated these JBL Live Beam 3 earbuds a 9/10 when we initially reviewed them. And to be honest, we didn’t have that many complaints at that time. These earbuds deliver a solid experience, producing excellent sound, great ANC performance, and good EQ control.
Now, most higher-end earbuds are going to provide that experience, but where the Live Beam 3 differs is the screen that’s featured on the charging case. You can use this screen to control your media, along with other things, without having to pull your phone out.
The discount makes this easy to pick up
If you’re looking to grab a solid pair of earbuds that’s a little different from the rest, the JBL Live Beam 3 are going to be it. The original retail price of the Live Beam 3 earbuds were $200. But, we’re now seeing a steep discount, dropping them down to just $100.
As mentioned before, you’re getting solid audio quality with ample customization. Furthermore, the ANC is great for blocking out external sounds, and you even get support for multipoint connectivity. The earbuds also support most hi-res codes, and you can get up to 12 hours of battery life with a single charge.
The screen makes audio adjustments easier to adjust on the fly, which means more focus on the music, less time on your phone. There’s very little to complain about here, and we think that anyone will be happy with these earbuds, especially at their new price of $100.
