The JBL Live Beam 3 Is a steal at \u00a399"},"content":{"rendered":"

“A smart display case, an avalanche of customisable features and easy-going, smooth sound”. That’s the verdict we gave the JBL Live Beam 3<\/a> alongside a respectable four-star rating.<\/p>\n

Being able to bag all this for \u00a3150 is impressive, but I’m here to tell you that Amazon<\/a> has slashed the price of the Live Beam 3 to just \u00a399<\/a>. The 34 per cent discount sees the friendly wireless in-ears drop back to their lowest-ever price.<\/p>\n

The Live Beam 3 is proof that buds don’t have to be boring. If you like the sound of clever and fun buds that don’t cost the earth, then this deal on JBL<\/a>‘s budget offering could be just for you.<\/p>\n

Today’s best JBL Live Beam 3 deals<\/p>\n

One of the most notable features of the Live Beam 3 is its smart display case. While it won\u2019t be everyone\u2019s cup of tea, it features an interactive 1.45-inch touchscreen display where you can access volume and playback controls, different sound and ANC modes and various other options, without firing up the JBL Headphones app on a smartphone.<\/p>\n

The build quality is decent for wireless buds at this price, and the IP55 rating<\/a> means they have some protection against dust and water ingress.<\/p>\n

They are also supplied with four sizes of eartips, ensuring a comfortable fit for most ear canals. During testing, most of our review team had no issue with the Live Beam 3\u2019s comfort and fit.<\/p>\n

Wireless connectivity is provided via Bluetooth 5.3<\/a>, while Bluetooth multipoint is present for switching seamlessly between multiple audio sources.<\/p>\n

You can listen to your favourite audio for long periods too, thanks to a battery life that extends to a whopping 48 hours with the charging case. And that\u2019s with ANC turned on, too.<\/p>\n

Soundwise, the JBLs are easy-going, smooth and fluid. When we tested them last year, we found \u201cthere\u2019s liveliness and punch, a good helping of detail and a full-bodied approach that\u2019s very appealing to listen to for hours\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Award-winning Sony WF-C700N<\/a> rivals offer more in the way of precision and dynamics, but this doesn\u2019t detract from how enjoyable the Live Beam 3 are to listen to.<\/p>\n

Plus, for \u00a351 off, they represent even better value. So, if you\u2019re after a great deal on a feature-packed, friendly pair of wireless earbuds, we encourage you to check out the JBL Live Beam 3 for \u00a399 at Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n
