The JBL Tour PRO 2 true wireless headphone is engineered with the world’s first smart charging case. This technology transforms the TWS experience beyond audio - just tap the 1.45” LED touch display to manage music, receive calls, message and social media notifications in real time without having to view on a phone or from the JBL Headphones app.

Built for productivity and designed to inspire, listeners can optimize the ANC performance by taking the Ear Canal Test (in the dedicated JBL headphone app) in a noisy environment then relax, or work in pure silence, as the software does the rest. Need to take a call? The 6 mic design guarantees crystal clear audio, while the ANC blocks out any unwanted sounds.

With up to 40 hours of playtime (10 hours + 30 hours or 8 hours + 24 hours with ANC) these hi-res audio certified IPX5 water resistant true wireless headphones are made for on-the-go, at-home and work environments. Need a charge quickly? No worries as users can expect 4 hours in just 15 minutes.

The JBL Tour ONE M2 over-ear headphone combines JBL’s best-ever hybrid True Adaptive ANC with JBL Pro-tuned drivers to fill ears with only the best sound whether on-the-go, at work or at home. True Adaptive ANC technology automatically adjusts to the surroundings in real time, eliminating distractions and maximizing the listening experience. The built-in Smart Talk voice recognition reacts to voice commands, pauses the music and enables Ambient Aware. Ready to get back to it? Music and JBL’s next level True Adaptive ANC automatically resume once the conversation is over.

With up to 50 hours of playtime, or 30 hours with ANC activated, they’ll outlast even the longest trip. Forgot to charge and need to dash? Fast charge means 10 minutes plugged in and you’ll be free for 5 hours of legendary JBL Pro Sound. Set up a customized hearing profile with HARMAN’s advanced Personi-Fi 2.0 for the ultimate personalized sound performance.

In our pursuit of new user-centric features, we haven’t ignored the essentials but have elevated the audio experience with the new JBL Tour Series,” said Dave Rogers, President, HARMAN Lifestyle Division.
