The JBL Live Buds 3 wireless earbuds are sitting at $140 right now, which knocks $90 off their usual $230 price. That's a solid drop, especially if you've been waiting for them to dip. One catch: this deal is for the purple pair. Other colors are priced higher. Still, the purple actually looks great and saving $90 makes it easier to commit.
The Live Buds 3 earbuds have plenty going for them, but the most obvious standout feature is the display. Built into the side of the charging case, the touchscreen can be used to switch EQ on the fly. It also provides important information, such as the current charge state, and it lets you manage music and calls. You can even view messages.
As for the earbuds themselves, you can expect up to 40 hours of listening time when using the aforementioned charging case, and wireless charging is also supported. A full charge of the earbuds should get you up to 10 hours of listening time.
The earbuds are dust- and water-proof, so you can use your new earbuds by the pool and anywhere else your outdoor adventures take you. And with six built-in microphones, you can make crystal-clear phone calls on the go. Support for multipoint connectivity means you can pair the earbuds with multiple devices without having to fuss with pairing and unpairing all the time.
Like all good earbuds in this price range, JBL offers adaptive noise-canceling technology on these. That means the earbuds can adapt to the world around you, offering you the chance to customize how much you hear and when.
