Adjust volume and EQ, control your music, take phone calls, see messages—you can even customize the screensaver with your favorite photos. And that’s before you get to enjoy the monumental JBL Signature Sound of the Live Flex 3 earbuds themselves. Best-in-class True Adaptive Noise Cancelling tunes out distractions. JBL Spatial Sound makes movies and music truly immersive. And if you have to take a call, 6 mics ensure perfect sound quality even in the noisiest surroundings. All this, plus a 50-hour charge: 10 hours in the buds* and another 40 in the case—and they can charge wirelessly. The charging case features a loop to attach a lanyard for even more convenience. Great sound has never been simpler. (*with ANC off)

The JBL Live Flex 3's 12mm dynamic drivers are perfectly tuned to deliver deep bass, balanced mid-range, and refined high frequencies—all at any volume level. JBL Spatial Sound makes you feel like you're at a concert as the sound comes from virtually everywhere around you. This is JBL Signature Sound at its best.
You can customize every aspect of your JBL Live Flex 3 earbuds with the 1.45-inch touchscreen display on the Smart Charging Case™. The display gives you full control of your sound on any devices - laptop, TV, smartphones, or tablets -, without needing to access the JBL App on your smartphone.
Tune out the outside world entirely or customize just how much ambient sound you decide to let in, with four noise-sensing mics that automatically adapt to your surroundings in real time. The audio compensation filter in the JBL Headphones App even allows you to customize and fine-tune the Adaptive Noise Cancelling level to your ear canal's unique shape.
Enjoy 10 hours of playtime, plus another 40 in the charging case.* Need to recharge even faster? 10 minutes on a USB type-C charging cable will give you another four hours of playtime. You can also recharge them wirelessly. (*with ANC off)

FAQs & How-Tos

  • Can my headphones be connected to two devices simultaneously?
    Yes, the headphones have Multipoint Connection, which allows you to switch seamlessly between the connected devices. 
  • How to Factory Reset True Wireless Stereo Earbuds
    Double-tap the button on the right earbud, then on the third tap - press and hold the button for more than 5 seconds (until the unit shuts off). 
    This restores the earbuds to the factory defaults.
    TWS must be connected to perform the reset, so neither of the earbuds should be off or in the charging case.
    It also may be necessary to remove or forget the earbuds from the list of paired Bluetooth devices in order to pair again.
  • JBL Headphones App: Personal Sound Amplification (PSAP)

    PSAP (Personal Sound Amplification) is a new feature accessible within the JBL Headphones App. When this feature is turned on, it works similar to Ambient Aware, but it focuses on picking up vocal frequencies in front of you. 

     

    1. GAIN: The Personal Sound Amplification function is designed to amplify sound in the vocal range, it can assist users with (limited) hearing loss to maintain conversations more easily, especially in noisy environments. It should then amplify the speech of the person sitting across from you, not the general ambient sound as with Ambient Aware. The algorithm uses beamforming to pick out the voice from the other sounds, much like what happens during a phone call, but instead of focusing on your own voice it focuses on the voice further away from you. The gain setting allows you to amplify those vocal frequencies.

     

    2. BALANCE: The balance setting adjusts the amplification effect between your left and right ears using the slider. When set to 0 (in the middle), both ears will receive the same amplification, but depending on the user’s personal needs/preferences, they can focus the amplification more towards either the left or right ear.
