THE NEWLY LAUNCHED JBL TOUR PRO 2 EARBUDS HAVE A SCREEN

Are we holding the future of wireless earbuds in my hands? Or are JBL’s Tour Pro 2 buds – with a charging case that has its own built-in display – a parlor trick negated by the smartwatch? The Tour Pro 2 are the first to come to market with an interactive case; HP has announced something similar and Apple patent filings suggest that the AirPods maker is at least exploring this concept. But JBL’s earbuds are here now and start shipping today in the US after launching in other markets earlier this year. The Tour Pro 2 include an exhaustive, well-rounded list of features. Their adaptive noise-cancellation, which adjusts in real time based on the loudness of your environment, is impressively strong and comparable to the upper tier of competition. Battery life is another highlight and rated at up to eight hours of continuous listening with ANC on or 10 with it off. JBL also notes that the earbuds are ready for LE Audio spec and will be updated to enable it once the spec goes mainstream.
