Credit: Daniel Oropeza Table of Contents As a headphone reviewer, not many headphones outside of the flagship Sony, Bose, and Apple models get me excited. However, the JBL Tour One M3 Smart Tx headphones became the exception to that rule when I started using them over my Sony 1000XM6 as my go-to headphones. And right now, the Tour One M3s are down to $199.95 (originally $449.95), their lowest price ever, according to price-tracking tools. This is a great deal for these headphones, which I deemed my favorite travel headphones in my review. Everything from design to the features on the Tour One M3 was made with travel in mind. The headphones are very light, which, along with the comfortable soft earcups and headband, makes them great for wearing for long periods of time. I was able to wear these on a long flight without feeling any discomfort. Feeling like you're not wearing any headphones is the gold standard for comfort, and the Tour One M3 nails that aspect. The battery life is also impressive, with up to 70 hours with ANC off and 40 hours with it on. The travel case is compact, convenient, and has extra storage for the audio transmitter, which is the best feature of the Tour One M3. This is a high-quality, low-latency audio transmitter. Anything that you can plug an AUX cable, USB, or USB-C port into can stream high-quality, 24-bit audio wirelessly to the Tour One M3. The main way most people will use these headphones is by plugging them into the in-flight entertainment, which lets you watch movies in high-quality LDAC with ANC. But I've also been able to use them to watch TV. What do you think so far? The Tour One M3 Smart Tx are incredible traveling headphones, especially at $199.95, and I recommend them to anyone who values comfort, battery life, simplicity, and likes the idea of the audio transmitter.
