JBL Tour One M3 drops to $299.99, plus a cheap Beats Pill

JBL's transmitter-equipped Tour One M3 headphones are $150 off at Best Buy, with deals on the Beats Pill and Apple's crossbody strap too.

In brief

JBL's transmitter-equipped Tour One M3 headphones are $150 off at Best Buy, with deals on the Beats Pill and Apple's crossbody strap too. At $299.99, the JBL Tour One M3 is a top-rated noise-cancelling headphone that also comes with a transmitter, so it works with almost any audio source. Originally reported by PCMAG.

A third off JBL's flagship

The JBL Tour One M3 headphones are down from $449.95 to $299.99 at Best Buy, a cut of 33%.

Almost $150 back

The exact saving is $149.96. That puts a premium noise-cancelling pair closer to midrange pricing.

“That's $150 in savings!”

The transmitter is the hook

What sets these apart is the JBL Smart Tx transmitter in the box. It lets the headphones connect to almost any source, not just your phone.

Three times the data

The Smart Tx sends three times more data than standard Bluetooth. More data means better audio quality over a wireless link.

Drivers built for bass

Inside are 40mm mica dome drivers tuned for booming bass and clear highs.

Concert-style spatial sound

JBL Spatial 360 widens the soundstage so music feels closer to a live show than a pair of speakers pressed to your ears.

Quiet outside, clear on calls

You get active noise cancellation plus a four-mic array that keeps your voice clear on calls.

Made for Android switching

Google Fast Pair and Google Audio Switch let the headphones pair quickly and move between Android devices without re-pairing.

The numbers that matter

Expect a 33-foot wireless range, up to 70 hours of battery life, and an 18-ohm impedance that phones and laptops drive easily.

Rated Excellent by PCMag

Reviewer Christian de Looper gave them an Excellent rating, praising the sound, the fit, the battery life and the transmitter.

“JBL's Tour One M3 noise-cancelling headphones offer rich sound, a comfortable fit, and great battery life”

Big-name rivals also discounted

Sony's WH-1000XM5 is $298, Beats Studio Pro is $169.95 (down from $349.99), and AirPods Max 2 are $449 after $100 off.

Cheaper noise cancelling options

On a tighter budget, the Soundcore Life Q30 is $55.99 and the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 is $218.

Beats Pill for $99.99

The second deal is the Beats Pill portable speaker, down $50 from $149.99 at Best Buy.

More punch, less distortion

The redesigned Pill has about 28% more motor force, which cuts low-end distortion so bass stays clean even at high volume.

Ready for the beach

It is IP67 dust and water resistant, weighs 1.5 pounds, has a removable lanyard, and its battery lasts up to 24 hours.

Big bass, smaller price

Audio reviewer Tim Gideon rated the 2024 Beats Pill Excellent, calling it durable, full of features, and stylish.

“delivers impressive bass for its size and costs much less than the original”

Other speakers worth a look

The UE Miniroll is $49.99, the second-gen Bose SoundLink Micro is $79.99, the JBL Flip 5 is $89.95, and the Bose SoundLink Plus is $199.

Apple's strap at 75% off

The Apple Crossbody Strap is $14.99, down from $58.99. It suits iPhone 17 and iPhone Air owners who use an official Apple case.

Hands-free phone carry

It is woven from recycled PET yarn and uses flexible magnets to adjust the length, up to 81.9 inches, so your phone hangs securely.

At a glance

At $299.99, the JBL Tour One M3 is a top-rated noise-cancelling headphone that also comes with a transmitter, so it works with almost any audio source.
