JBL CES 2024: Updated version of ‘world’s first’ smart touchscreen earbud charging case, speakers, more

The JBL CES 2024 announcements have arrived with loads of new additions to the brand’s growing lineup of headphones, wireless earbuds, and speakers. The brand has been a mainstay around here for years with notable options in the portable Bluetooth and party speaker lineup, both of which are landing with next-generation devices on tap for CES 2024, but JBL is also debuting an updated version of “the world’s first Smart Charging Case” on its Live TWS 3 wireless earbuds. Head below for a closer look at the most exciting releasing coming from JBL at CES 2024. 

JBL CES 2024 – New speakers, headphones, and smart charging earbuds case

As mentioned above, JBL is delivering the next-generation of its PartBox speaker lineup as well as the new JBL Go 3, Clip 5, and Xtreme 4 Bluetooth speakers, not to mention a host of new on- and over-ear headphones, but it’s the latest version of the world’s first Smart Charging Case on its Live TWS 3 wireless earbuds that has really caught our attention. 

Described by the brand as the “future of audio,” the new Live 3 earbuds apparently set new audio benchmarks and make “cutting-edge technology more widely accessible across various products at more attainable price points.” 

The JBL Live 3 Earbuds series, including the Buds, Beam, and Flex models, feature the latest version of JBL’s industry-leading Smart Charging Case – it gives consumers “full control of their mobile device in real time without actually having to take it out.” Adorned with a 1.45-inch LED touch display, the Smart Charging Case features a more visual control over the audio system without having to pull a phone out. 

The JBL Live 3 series features True Adaptive Noise Cancelling as well as Ear Canal Test from within the dedicated JBL Headphones app, “ensuring pure, personalized, uninterrupted sound in any environment.” From there, you’ll find hi-res audio and JBL Signature Sound alongside Bluetooth 5.3 up to 12mm dynamic drivers, a waterproof design, wireless charging and as much as 50 hours of total playtime. 

The JBL Live 3 Earbuds series will be available from $199.95 starting Summer 2024. That’s not all that affordable as far I can tell, but that charging case touch screen is pretty wild.

Now let’s take a look at breakdown of the headphones and speaker lineups debuting for CES 2024.
