JBL’s next generation Flip 7 and Charge 6 portable bluetooth speakers have launched, with a bold new look and new audio features to deliver bigger sound, deeper bass and better performance.

Built to improve on the listener experience, both speakers feature JBL’s proprietary AI Sound Boost technology to analyse music in real-time and optimise the speaker driver without distortion.

“The Flip and Charge series have always been popular in New Zealand, thanks to their ability to pump out big sound from a compact, ultra-portable and robust speaker design. In this latest iteration, we’ve packed in even more audio technology to give listeners a best-in-class sound experience. There are also some new design and connectivity features, such as Auracast, and new options for straps and carabiners, to make it easier to share and take your tunes with you on the go,” says Michael Sherman, Senior Strategy Manager at JBL New Zealand.

Whether you’re chilling in the garden or meeting up with friends at the park, the new Flip 7 has been redesigned with an interchangeable finger loop and carabiner hook making it easier to take your music anywhere. Equipped with AI Sound Boost for powerful bass without distortion and an upgraded tweeter with a dome design, Flip 7 offers clear and crisp sounds at higher volumes, no matter the setting.

Out and about? The new IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating makes it easier to carry your tunes with you, without worrying about spills or drops. Other new features include increased battery life for up to 16 hours with Playtime Boost, the latest Bluetooth 5.4 capabilities for improved wireless connectivity, and Auracast pairing with other JBL Auracast enabled speakers.

The Charge 6, now equipped with a detachable and versatile handle strap, has evolved to make high-quality audio more accessible than ever. With the introduction of AI Sound Boost and an upgraded woofer for deeper bass, prepare to feel the beat across any room. The introduction of Auracast allows friends to sync their compatible speakers for even more sound. Keep the party going for longer with up to 28 hours of battery when using Playtime Boost. Remaining true to the name, the speaker not only electrifies the dancefloor, but comes equipped with the built-in USB-C powerbank for charging devices at a moment’s notice.

JBL has launched the JBL Tour PRO 3, the brand’s most advanced True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds yet.

With the introduction of dual drivers, JBL Spatial 360 with Head Tracking, True Adaptive Noise Cancellation 2.0, and an improved Smart Charging CaseTM packing truly unique features, JBL Tour PRO 3 redefines the TWS listening and user experience and leads the way in TWS Smart technology

“The JBL Tour PRO 3 sets new standards in customisation, performance, and convenience. New Zealanders will be particularly excited by the new generation Smart Charging Case. The new audio transmitter technology unlocks so many potential scenarios for improving the listening experience, from air travel to group listening sessions,” says Michael Sherman, Senior Strategy Manager at JBL New Zealand.

At the forefront of the JBL Tour PRO 3’s innovations is the second-generation Smart Charging Case. The case not only provides full control of the earbud features, but also acts as a wireless audio transmitter, enabling ‘Everywhere Entertainment’ from any USB or analogue source such as an inflight entertainment system. Simply plug in the charging case for an instant and automatic connection to your earbuds.

Better yet, the direct connection between case and earbuds is more stable, and lower latency, than Bluetooth, making it the perfect companion for gaming, calls*, movies and music.

JBL Tour PRO 3 is JBL’s first TWS model with full Auracast functionality. Easily share audio content with any Auracast-enabled device using the AuracastTM button on the Smart Charging Case display. Or join an existing broadcast by simply tapping in with the case and accompanying app so you can listen to the same content as your friends and family.

The redesigned Smart Charging Case now features a 30% larger screen than its predecessor, all wrapped in a smaller, more pocketable package. The screen provides seamless control over music playback, call management, access to ID3 Tag, caller ID and media file information, and more without needing to access your phone.

The JBL Tour PRO 3 brings JBL Spatial 360 and Head Tracking technology from any audio source. This feature transforms stereo sound into a fully immersive experience – particularly beneficial when watching movies or playing games. Head Tracking deepens the immersive experience by making sounds appear to come from outside your head and stay fixed in space, even when you move your head.

No matter what you are listening to, enjoy it in excellent quality. JBL Tour PRO 3 boasts a hybrid dual driver system in each earbud, a first for JBL TWS, delivering JBL’s legendary Pro Sound. The balanced armature driver handles the high notes with enhanced clarity, freeing the 11mm dynamic driver to provide powerful, cleaner bass and vivid vocals. With a dedicated DAC for each driver reproducing a specific part of the frequency range from 20Hz to 40kHz, enjoy every detail in stunning definition, closer than ever to studio sound reproduction.

Further enhancing audio quality, the Hi-Res certified wireless audio codec LDAC, delivers three times more data than the standard Bluetooth codecs, resulting in exceptional high-resolution sound.

Most features of the JBL Tour PRO 3 are fully customisable, including the True Adaptive Noise Cancellation 2.0 technology. This advanced system measures over 50,000 times per second, adapting to environmental changes and compensating for sound leakage.

For the best comfort and performance, JBL Tour PRO 3 ships with an extensive selection of ear tip options. Find your perfect fit with five different sized silicon and one additional set of foam ear tips.

With six microphones and a hydrodynamic windproof design, the Tour PRO 3 ensures clear and undistorted voice transmission during calls. The earbuds use a new, proprietary, JBL Crystal AI call algorithm to enhance clarity even in noisy environments. Your voice will now not only be clear in places with low frequency stationary noises such as traffic or at a train station, but also in situations with more sudden high frequency noises such as coffee shops.

Further enhance your calling experience with the new smart call equalizer, Voice Call. This features a sound level optimiser which helps reduce the volume of loud talkers or amplify quiet talkers.

For a fully personalised sound, the Personi-fi 3.0 hearing test offers a customised sound profile. This JBL algorithm accurately measures and adjusts for individual hearing profiles using 12 bands for EQ compensation and 14 warble tones. The adjustments are now made separately for each ear, providing the most personalised listening experience to date.

Additionally, Tour PRO 3 allows users to personalise the display lock screen and wallpaper with any photo and supports display commands in 13 languages.

JBL Tour PRO 3 will be available in Black and Latte colourway.

Seamlessly integrating into your active lifestyle, the IP54 rating guarantees resistance to sweat, dust, and rainfall.

Kiwis looking for a headphone that keeps them connected to their surroundings, especially while performing outdoor activities like running or cycling, will appreciate the functionality of the Soundgear Sense,” says Sherman.

JBL has breathed new life into classic hifi design with its latest product pairing, the JBL Authentics speaker range and the JBL Spinner BT turntable.

Perfectly complementing each other, the speakers and turntable update JBL’s heritage products with modern technologies that take nostalgic audio experiences to new heights with immersive sound, wireless connectivity, and sleek finishes.

Inspired by the brand’s rich history which spans over 75 years, the Authentics range features elements from iconic JBL designs such as the Quadrex grille pattern, from the phenomenally popular JBL L100 home speakers that were first released in 1970.

Blended with contemporary touches like softer flowing edges and a subtle convex form that references the force of powerful sound waves, the JBL Authentics range symbolises the best of JBL’s illustrious past and innovative present.

“JBL’s heritage is a huge part of our brand story. JBL was the speaker brand that powered Woodstock in ‘69; we have been the brand of choice for music studios since the golden age of rock. Being part of musical history has always been important to us, and the JBL Authentics range pays homage to our origins, while delivering the best audio quality, unique design, and features of the modern era,” says Michael Sherman, Senior Strategy Manager at JBL New Zealand.

“The classics never grow old. The JBL Authentics range draws from our iconic past with its retro design while delivering superior sound and technology such as Dolby Atmos and simultaneous voice assistants.”

The JBL Authentics speaker range draws on JBL’s storied history with a modern twist, with its design paying homage to the legendary JBL L100 speaker from the 1970s. With a premium aluminium frame, custom synthetic leather-wrapped enclosure, and a reimagined Quadrex grille, the JBL Authentics range is designed to impress.

The JBL Authentics speaker range allows listeners to experience superior audio performance. Available in three variations, the JBL Authentics 500 is the most feature-packed in the series: a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart speaker delivering Dolby Atmos to envelop listeners in immersive room-filling sound.

The JBL Authentics 300 offers portable, high-performance sound with a built-in 8-hour battery, while the JBL Authentics 200 fills any space with powerful well-balanced stereo sound thanks to its 1” tweeters, full-range 5” woofers and downfiring 6” passive radiator.

Designed with seamless user experience in mind, the JBL Authentics speakers feature a new integration built in collaboration with Amazon and Google that provides listeners simultaneous access to their voice assistants.

The JBL Spinner BT’s sleek design consists of an aluminium platter and tonearm, black MDF plinth with JBL orange or gold accents, a contemporary front panel, and a hinged dust cover that makes the unit an aesthetically pleasing sight.

Driven by a belt drive and motor with an optical sensor underneath, the die cast aluminium platter ensures records are played perfectly in time at 33⅓ RPM for albums, or 45 RPM for EPs and singles. The black MDF plinth enhances sound tonality for uncompromised playback.

The JBL Authentics speaker range and the JBL Spinner BT turntable will be available for purchase online and electronic retail stores.
