JBL Signature Sound for Clear, Balanced Audio

JBL is internationally known for its powerful, dynamic audio signature—and the T280TWS X3 continues that tradition with crisp highs, full mids, and strong bass. The semi-in-ear design gives an open soundstage feel, allowing users to enjoy music, podcasts, videos and calls without feeling “sealed off”.

The audio profile is perfectly suited for New Zealanders who enjoy multi-genre listening—from hip-hop, pop, rock and electronic, to podcasts, audiobooks, phone calls, ASMR or YouTube content. Whether you want motivational music during workouts, peaceful background audio while working, or high-clarity voice calls, the T280TWS X3 delivers consistent, satisfying performance.

Semi-In-Ear Comfort for Long-Term Wear

Unlike deep silicon tips that can cause discomfort or ear fatigue, these earbuds use a semi-in-ear ergonomic design, making them ideal for:

• Long workdays
  
• Extended commute hours
  
• Studying
  
• Multi-hour Zoom meetings
  
• Gym and sports sessions
  
• Walking or jogging
  
• Casual entertainment
  
• Sensitive or Light Beige ears
  

They sit securely and lightly, providing stability without the “plugged” sensation of traditional in-ear earbuds. This makes them perfect for users who dislike intrusive ear tips or who require ventilation while listening.

Intelligent Call Noise Cancellation for Clear Conversations

The T280TWS X3 earbuds include advanced call noise cancellation technology, which helps filter background noise such as:

• Crowded urban streets
  
• Public transport
  
• Office chatter
  
• Coffee shop noise
  
• Road noise
  
• Wind
  

Combined with a semi-open condenser microphone, voice clarity increases significantly for callers on the other end. This makes the earbuds practical for business calls, online meetings, interviews, and hands-free chatting—even when you’re out and about.

32-Hour Combined Playtime for All-Day Performance

Battery life is essential for NZ users who multitask through work, travel, study, and leisure. The T280TWS X3 provides:

• Up to 6–8 hours per full charge (earbuds)
  
• Up to 32 hours total with the charging case
  

The Type-C wireless charging case ensures fast, convenient recharging anytime, anywhere, with modern compatibility for laptops, power banks, and USB-C chargers commonly used across New Zealand. For those who are always moving—road trips, gym sessions, long workdays—this means uninterrupted audio throughout the day.

Touch Controls for Easy, Intuitive Operation

No more fumbling for buttons. With smart touch controls, you can operate the earbuds with a single tap:

• Play / Pause
  
• Answer / Reject calls
  
• Adjust volume
  
• Skip tracks
  
• Activate voice assistant
  
• Switch noise modes (if supported)
  

This allows for smooth hands-free operation whether you're at the gym, cooking, commuting, or working.

• Pockets
