Despite some foibles, the JBL Tour One M3 is a great showcase for the future of wireless ANC headphones. Making the most of an internal DAC and Auracast, these headphones can be used with pretty much anything at any time. Its SMART Tx accessory can even share audio with other devices.

Overall, the JBL jumps to nearly the top for the sub-$600 wireless ANC headphone class for sound quality, but perhaps slightly below the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 and Cambridge Audio P100, which is nothing to be ashamed of.

The Tour One M3 have plenty of crowd-pleasing abilities, but they have entered a wildly competitive and fiercely talented field with more luxurious and more capable rivals
