Our take on the JBL Live Buds 3

The JBL Live Buds 3 are true wireless earbuds with adaptive active noise cancelling, a smart charging case with a color touchscreen, and JBL's Personi-Fi hearing profile. They last up to 10 hours per charge (8 with ANC on) and carry an IP55 rating, so sweat and light rain are fine. The touchscreen case is the standout feature against rivals like the AirPods Pro and Sony WF-C700N, which rely on a phone app for control. Reviewers like the sound and battery life but find the case bulky and the touchscreen of limited use.

Questions and answers

How long does the battery last?
JBL rates the buds at 10 hours per charge, or 8 hours with noise cancelling on. The case adds extra charges on top of that.
Does the touchscreen case work without a phone?
Yes. You can change volume, tracks, ANC modes and settings from the case itself, so the phone app is optional.
Can I connect two devices at once?
Yes. Multipoint lets the buds stay connected to two devices, such as a laptop and a phone, and switch between them.
Are they good for running and workouts?
They have an IP55 rating for dust and water, so sweat and light rain are fine. JBL does not market them for training, and some owners report the fit loosens during hard movement.
Do they support wireless charging?
No. The case charges over USB-C only.
How do they compare with the AirPods Pro?
The Live Buds 3 cost less and offer the touchscreen case and longer battery life. The AirPods Pro have stronger noise cancelling and tighter iPhone integration.
