- The JBL Tour Pro 3 earbuds are built for listeners who demand rich audio, reliable noise cancellation, and long-lasting comfort. With up to 40 hours of total playtime, multipoint connectivity, and a customizable sound profile, they’re versatile enough for work, travel, or daily listening. But like many earbuds, the stock silicone tips don’t always provide the perfect seal — and that’s where Comply TWo-230-A Premium Memory Foam Tips come in. In this review, we’ll explore what makes the Tour Pro 3 a strong contender in its class, and how our foam tips transform the listening experience into something truly premium.
JBL Tour Pro 3 Review: Fit, Comfort, and Real-World Performance—How Memory Foam Tips Take Them Further
When JBL released the Tour Pro 3, it entered the premium true wireless space with a promise: studio-quality sound, active noise cancellation, and an elegant design that fits everyday life. Known for their expertise in audio engineering, JBL aimed to balance modern features with rich, detailed sound.
But does the Tour Pro 3 live up to the hype? And more importantly—does it deliver a fit that holds up to real-world use?
At Comply Foam, we put earbuds to the test—both with their stock tips and with our memory foam upgrades—to see how they perform in daily listening. Here’s what we found.
🎧 Design & Build: Sleek, Modern, and Premium
The Tour Pro 3 looks every bit like a flagship earbud. Its glossy finish and minimalist stemless profile give it a refined, understated appearance. The charging case is compact, pocket-friendly, and supports both USB-C and wireless charging—ideal for on-the-go users.
Touch controls are responsive and customizable through the JBL Headphones app, and the IPX5 water resistance rating means they’ll hold up well against sweat and light rain. Build quality feels solid, with a smooth hinge and magnets that keep the buds secure in the case.
🔊 Sound Quality: Balanced and Adaptive
Out of the box, the Tour Pro 3 delivers a rich, balanced sound signature. The bass is punchy without overpowering the mids, vocals are clear and present, and the highs have crisp detail without harshness.
What really sets them apart is JBL’s adaptive noise control. The earbuds adjust ANC levels based on your surroundings, and the transparency mode feels natural, letting in just enough outside sound when needed. The companion app’s EQ lets you fine-tune the sound to your preferences—something the Powerbeats Pro 2 lacked.
🎯 Comfort & Fit: Good, But Not for Every Ear
While the Tour Pro 3 is lightweight and ergonomic, the fit experience varies. The stock silicone tips provide a decent seal for some users, but others may experience small gaps or a feeling of looseness after long wear.
Because ANC performance depends heavily on a proper seal, a less-than-perfect fit means outside noise can creep in—and bass impact can suffer. Like most earbuds, the Tour Pro 3’s comfort level is highly personal and depends on ear shape and tip size.
🚀 How Comply Tips Improve the JBL Tour Pro 3
Pairing the Tour Pro 3 with our TW-230-A Comply Foam Tips transforms both comfort and performance:
✅ Superior Seal – Our heat-reactive memory foam expands to your ear shape, locking in sound and maximizing ANC performance.
✅ All-Day Comfort – Breathable foam reduces pressure buildup, making them ideal for workdays, travel, or long study sessions.
✅ Consistent Fit – No more subtle shifting or reseating during wear—the foam keeps them secure through movement.
With Comply tips, the Tour Pro 3’s already-strong sound becomes fuller, bass response tightens, and the noise cancellation works at its true potential.
🔋 Battery & Features: Long-Lasting and Feature-Rich
The Tour Pro 3 boasts up to 10 hours of playback with ANC off (8 with ANC on), plus an additional 24 hours in the case. Fast charging delivers around 4 hours of use from just 15 minutes plugged in.
Other standout features include multi-point Bluetooth pairing, Google Fast Pair, and a “find my buds” function through the app. Voice assistant support works smoothly, and call quality is clear thanks to beamforming mics.
🔍 What Could Improve
While the Tour Pro 3 is an excellent all-around performer, we noted a few areas for potential improvement:
Tip Fit Variability – Including premium foam tips in the box would help more users get a perfect seal from day one.
Touch Sensitivity – Occasionally registers accidental taps when adjusting the earbuds.
App Complexity – The companion app offers many options, but the sheer number of settings can feel overwhelming to casual users.
🧠 Final Verdict: Premium Performance, Perfected with the Right Fit
The JBL Tour Pro 3 offers a polished mix of style, sound, and smart features, making it a strong competitor in the premium earbud space. Its balanced sound, adaptive ANC, and comfortable design make it versatile for work, travel, or workouts.
However, like many earbuds, its performance is only as good as the seal you can achieve. That’s where Comply Foam Tips come in—turning a great set of earbuds into a truly exceptional listening experience with enhanced comfort, stability, and sound isolation.
If you own or are considering the JBL Tour Pro 3, upgrading to memory foam tips is one of the simplest, most effective ways to unlock their full potential.
