They promise 3 hours of use on a single charge and their included storage case provides 16 hours of charging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JBL also announced their new LIVE 300TWS earbuds. For just $50 more the 300&#8217;s come with many more advanced features, such as: Voice AI control using Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, IPX5 water resistance rating for sweat and rain, and better ear placement for a firmer hold when on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"468\" src=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JBL_LIVE-300TWS-1000x668-700x468.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18012 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JBL_LIVE-300TWS-1000x668-700x468.jpg 700w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JBL_LIVE-300TWS-1000x668-577x385.jpg 577w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JBL_LIVE-300TWS-1000x668-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JBL_LIVE-300TWS-1000x668.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/JBL_LIVE-300TWS-1000x668-800x534.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto\" \/><figcaption><em><strong>JBL&#8217;s LIVE 300TWS earbuds<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 300TWS model comes with JBL&#8217;s TalkThru technology, which can detect voices and allow them to cut through your phone&#8217;s audio.

The similar AmbientAware function allows you to hear background noises so you don&#8217;t get too distracted from your surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition JBL&#8217;s new 300TWS earbuds have 4 hours of active battery usage and an additional 14 hours from their charging case. JBL may be looking to take on Apple&#8217;s trendy AirPods with the TUNE 220TWS but it looks like the LIVE 300TWS pairs are much better value for money. Both will be released this Spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple are getting more competition every day as JBL announce their cheaper alternative to AirPods coming this year.
