JBL’s 17 Newest Earbuds: 11 List Noise Cancelling

JBL’s US store listed 17 newest-generation true-wireless earbuds on 29 October 2026, and 11 of them list noise cancelling. Every in-ear model except Vibe Flex 2 lists noise cancelling; the five open-ear models list none.

The names follow a pattern on JBL’s own listing. Tour, Live, Tune and Vibe are everyday in-ear lines, Endurance marks sport models, and Soundgear and Sense mark open-ear designs. Within a line, Buds, Beam and Flex name the shape: JBL calls Live Buds 3 “bud-type”, Live Beam 3 “stick-closed” and Live Flex 3 “open-stick”. Every figure here is JBL’s own, from its US product pages.

In the ear: Tour, Live, Tune, Vibe and Endurance

Twelve models, eleven of which list noise cancelling. Vibe Flex 2 is the exception: its spec list carries no noise-cancelling field, and JBL’s listing describes it only with “Smart Ambient technology”.

Model	Noise cancelling, as JBL lists it	Earbuds, ANC on / off	Total with case	Water	Bluetooth
Tour Pro 3 (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab)	True Adaptive 2.0	8 / 11 h	44 h	IP55	5.3
Live Buds 3	True Adaptive	8 / 10 h	40 h	IP55	5.3
Live Beam 3 (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab)	True Adaptive	12 h, mode not stated	48 h	IP55	Not listed
Live Flex 3	True Adaptive	7 / 10 h	50 h	IP54	5.3
Tune Buds 2	Adaptive	10 / 12 h	48 h	IP54	5.3
Tune Beam 2	Adaptive	10 / 12 h	48 h	IP54	5.3
Tune Flex 2	Adaptive	8 h / not listed	48 h	IP54	5.3
Vibe Buds 2 (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab)	Active	8 / 10 h	40 h	IP54	5.3
Vibe Beam 2	Active	8 / 10 h	40 h	IP54	5.3
Vibe Flex 2	None listed	Not listed	40 h	IP54	5.3
Endurance Race 2	Active	Not listed	48 h	IP68	5.3
Endurance Peak 4	Adaptive	8 / 12 h	48 h	IP68	5.4

Tour Pro 3’s case doubles as a transmitter. JBL says its Smart Charging Case works “as an audio transmitter dongle” on a flight, lists Auracast support and JBL Spatial 360 head tracking, and its page names LDAC, which matters only on Android phones that support it; our guide to Bluetooth codecs explains what that badge promises.

The three Live 3 models share a Smart Charging Case and JBL’s “True Adaptive Noise Cancelling”, and their pages say “Hi-Res Audio Wireless” without naming a codec. What separates them is shape and battery: the open-stick Live Flex 3 lists the shortest earbud figure with noise cancelling on, 7 hours, and the longest total, 50. Fit affects how much an earbud can cancel, as we set out in how noise cancelling works, and JBL publishes no figure comparing the three shapes.

Tune against Vibe: JBL lists Adaptive Noise Cancelling and 48 hours in total for the Tune 2 models, and Active Noise Cancelling and 40 hours for Vibe Buds 2 and Vibe Beam 2. Tune Flex 2 ships with one size of open ear tips alongside three sizes of standard tips.

Endurance is the sport line. Endurance Race 2 and Endurance Peak 4 both list IP68; JBL says Race 2 has “optimum sealing, stability in your ears”. Peak 4’s spec list also carries an IPX2 figure without saying which part it applies to.

Open-ear: Soundgear and Sense

Five models leave the ear open, and JBL lists noise cancelling for none of them.

Model	Fit, in JBL’s words	Total battery	Water	Bluetooth	Codec named
Soundgear Sense	Open-ear, rotating earhooks	24 h	IP54	5.3	None named
Soundgear Clips	“Fashionable earwear”	32 h	IP54	5.4	None named
Sense Pro	Open-ear, ear hook	38 h	IP54	6.0	LDAC
Sense Lite	Open-ear, ear hook	32 h (8 h “battery life”)	IP54	5.4	None named
Endurance Zone	Open-ear sport, earhook	32 h	IP68	5.3	None named

Sense Pro is the one open-ear model here that lists LDAC and Bluetooth 6.0, along with wireless charging and 38 hours in total. Endurance Zone is the open-ear model with IP68. JBL says Soundgear Sense’s earhooks rotate, so you choose between “your music or calls” and letting in more sound.
