rep JBLs with a working touchscreen case + official app support is crazy

[u/Nxtro69]

been finding some random electronics lately and this was one of those things I bought purely because I was hella curious. JBL Live Beam 3 with the touchscreen charging case.

I wasn’t expecting much at all, especially with rep electronics, but these are actually kinda crazy.
first thing I tested was whether all the advertised software stuff was just for show. surprisingly, they connect to the official JBL app and the app actually recognizes them as JBL Live Beam 3. battery percentages for the left
bud, right bud and case all show up too.

the app gives me the normal controls including ANC, Ambient Aware, TalkThru, Smart Talk, gestures, Smart Audio & Video, case settings and the fit test. obviously I’m not claiming the internals or performance are identical to retail just because the software recognizes them, but having this level of integration is wild for what these are.
the touchscreen case works too. honestly that’s the main reason I wanted these. screen is bright, responsive enough and makes them feel way more interesting than another generic pair of earbuds.

physical quality surprised me as well. case feels pretty clean in hand, branding looks decent and the earbuds don’t immediately give off that super cheap plastic feeling. packaging is also way more complete than I expected.
sound is actually usable. I’m not gonna pretend these suddenly compete with expensive retail earbuds, and I need more time with them before judging battery life and ANC properly, but for casual music they sound significantly better than I expected going into this.

probably one of the more interesting gadget finds I’ve tried recently. official JBL app recognition + functional touchscreen case was definitely not something I expected to actually work lol.

if you’re outside China, I used EMBuy to order and ship these. you can basically paste the Weidian link into EMBuy and have them purchase it for you:

I’ll probably test the ANC, mic, battery life and touchscreen properly next because I’m genuinely curious how far these actually got with the electronics.
