The JBL Live Buds 3 are premium-priced stemless earbuds with a closed enclosure design ensuring better passive noise isolation. They come equipped with wireless functionality but lack a wired option. Their overall sound quality is very good with good soundstage and imaging, and comfortably good along with strong build quality. These earbuds come with built-in controls that are very good, and LDAC support for better audio quality over Bluetooth, but they are not optimized for activities like gaming or watching TV due to latency issues. The Live Buds 3 are not the best for calls and meetings either. They are sweatproof and dustproof and boast active noise-cancelling feature, making them suitable for exercise and air travel with very good portability and noise isolation. They may not be the best choice for music lovers who prioritize sound quality above other features as other earbuds may have a better music score. The earbuds weigh 8.8 grams and are slightly on the larger side. These JBL earbuds have a fairly average battery life of 10 hours but with an additional 30 hours provided by the case, which supports wireless charging and can be fully charged within 2 hours. An intriguing feature is the Smart Charging Case with a 1.45-inch LED touch display that controls the earbuds' functions, such as volume adjustment and toggling ANC. Moreover, they support app customization with an equalizer and audio controls which is optimized for both Android and Apple devices. Ear detection is present, stopping the playback when you take them out. The earbuds are not foldable but come with an integrated mic and boast durability, making them a well-rounded choice for daily use and fitness activities, though they may be considerate of other models for use cases like gaming, TV, and critical music listening.
