The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2026 - Issue 39

bitegadgets J BL introduces the Live 4 series, elevating its true‑wireless line-up with Hi‑Res Audio, improved noise cancellation and a leap forward in smart functionality. Building on the momentum of the previous generation, Live 4 becomes the first to run JBL Smart OS 3.0, the upgraded software powering the Smart Charging Case™, now redesigned with a larger screen, a new interface and deeper personalisation. Offered in Buds, Beam, and Flex wearing styles, and with an expanded palette of colours, the series is engineered to fit every preference while delivering JBL’s signature sound. New high‑fidelity drivers bring deeper bass and clearer de‑ tail, sharpening everything from bright pop choruses to late‑night ambient playlists. The upgraded ANC algorithms push noise reduction even further, quieting more of the outside world so music, podcasts and calls come through uninterrupted. The Smart Charging Case™ adds a layer of phone‑like convenience: swipe in any direction to check no‑ tifications, skip tracks or adjust EQ settings, and customise the home screen with your most‑used features or a favourite background image, without reaching for your handset. Call quality is enhanced by 6‑Mic Perfect Call 2.0, a wind‑re‑ sistant design, and an AI‑trained algorithm that suppresses intrusive sounds like traffic, fans, or even a slamming door. The three wearing styles ensure a tailored fit: Live Beam 4 offers an in‑ear, stem design with sealed ear tips; Live Flex 4 sits more openly in the outer ear for a relaxed feel; and Live Buds 4 provides a compact, classic bud profile. All JBL Live 4 models are available on the website. Live Beam 4 and Live Flex 4 come in black, blue, green, silver, orange, purple and sand, while Live Buds 4 arrive in black, blue, sil‑ ver and sand. https://uk.jbl.com JBL Announces JBL Live 4 Earbuds with Next-Gen Smart Charging™ Images courtesy of JBL
