JBL always brings tons of new products to CES, and CES 2024 is no exception. In addition to new wireless earbuds and Bluetooth speakers, the Harman-owned brand has debuted six new Live and Tune wireless headphones models in both on-ear and over-ear designs.
Many have improved features like true active noise cancellation and a planned future update to Bluetooth LE Audio, but it’s JBL’s huge battery life claims that are especially noteworthy, with some models offering as many as 76 hours of playtime before needing to be recharged. Here’s the full list.
JBL Live series
JBL’s Live series of headphones offer the company’s newest adaptive version of active noise cancellation (ANC) known as True Adaptive, in addition to virtual spatial sound technology that can transform any stereo sound into a more immersive, 3D-like presentation. They also have customization tools like Personi-Fi 2.0, which JBL says can create custom sound experiences that suit the unique needs of each listener. It’s accessed through the JBL Headphones app.
Both models come in black, white, blue, and Sandstorm colors and will be available in March 2024.
