JBL announced three new true wireless headphones at CES today: the JBL Live Pro 2 ($150), the JBL Live Free 2 ($150), and the JBL Reflect Aero ($150). All will be available Spring 2022.
Each of the three models include JBL’s True Adaptive noise cancelling with smart ambient noise features, improved battery life, and six microphones for voice-call quality.
JBL says its True Adaptive noise cancelling allows users to adjust the amount of background noise coming into the headphone, so they can stay aware of surroundings or hold conversations without needing to remove the earbuds. All models offer hands-free voice control and access to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
