JBL introduces a new pair of true wireless earbuds with an LED touchscreen display on the charging case. (Yes, similar to what we've seen on the HP Poly Voyager Free 60 Plus!) The new Tour Pro 2 earbuds have what JBL claims is the "world's first smart charging case." The 1.45-inch LED touchscreen on the case offers music and call control and access to social media and message notifications. JBL says this will keep you from looking at your phone. Of course, that's thinking you have the case within reach.
Meanwhile, the earbuds themselves are built as flagship earbuds. The Tour Pro 2 has adaptive active noise cancellation with an ambient sound mode, 10mm drivers, spatial audio, and JBL's Pro sound. Personi-fi 2.0 lets you customize the audio profile to suit your listening habit. And there's an ear tip fit test to ensure proper fit. For calls, there are six microphones onboard with JBL's VoiceAware tech.
According to JBL, you can expect up to eight hours of use with ANC on or 10 with it off. Plus, three extra chargers with the case. It has a quick-charge feature that can give you four hours of listening in 15 minutes. You don't have to worry about getting the earbuds a bit wet with its IPX5 rating.
The JBL Tour Pro 2 is coming in the spring in black and champagne colour options for US$250 (around CA$335).
