The new JBL Live Buds 3, Beam 3, and Flex 3 are all the same headphones with different designs. The Buds 3 are dot-style earbuds where the whole body of the earbuds sits inside the ear.
The pebble-shaped charging case features a 1.45-inch LED display that first appeared on the JBL Tour Pro 2 in 2023. The display is meant for easy access to features like ANC, ambient sound, EQ, volume, skipping/repeating tracks, and the battery life of buds and cases.
