Should I use the analog AUX connection or Optical to connect to Boost TV?

An optical connection will assure better audio performance and will accept Dolby Digital audio from an HDTV. However, there are times when TV apps may not transmit audio through the digital optical output on the TV. In cases such as these, it would be necessary to use the analog AUX connection.

SilentNow and My Alarm Feature

The JBL TOUR range helps you create an ideal world where you can entirely focus on your tasks.
With the JBL Tour One and Tour Pro+ TWS, you can get silent moments with SilentNow. Noise Cancelling is activated without Bluetooth, just by pressing a dedicated button on the headphones (or tapping the earbud) or controlling via the My JBL Headphones app. It also helps you save battery time.
Or get help in waking up with My Alarm, which allows sleep and wake times to be set and is controlled via the My JBL Headphones app. You can set a sleep and wake timer to gradually lower the volume of the headphones for sleep, switch into SilentNow mode for a specific amount of time and then wake you up at a specified time.
