JBL Live Buds 4 Launched in India With 10mm Dynamic Drivers, Live Beam 4 Tags Along: Price, Features

The JBL Live Buds 4 and JBL Live Beam 4 bring 10mm drivers, touchscreen Smart Charging Cases, and True Adaptive ANC 2.0 to Indian consumers at Rs 24,999, offering up to 48 hours of battery life and seamless multi-device connectivity

Audio giant JBL has officially expanded its premium true wireless stereo (TWS) portfolio in India with the launch of the JBL Live Buds 4 alongside the JBL Live Beam 4. Engineered to combine high-fidelity acoustics with smart hardware controls, both models feature 10mm dynamic drivers, Hi-Res Audio certification, True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0, and JBL’s redesigned Smart Charging Case™ running JBL Smart OS 3.0.

While both TWS models share identical audio hardware, driver tuning, and smart processing capabilities, they cater to different ergonomic preferences—the JBL Live Buds 4 sports a flush, in-ear design with silicone tips, whereas the JBL Live Beam 4 uses an in-ear stem design.

The JBL Live Buds 4 and JBL Live Beam 4 have been introduced at an official Maximum Retail Price (MRP) of Rs 24,999 each. Both products are available for purchase via the JBL India online store, major e-commerce platforms, and leading retail chains.

Smart Charging Case™ and JBL Smart OS 3.0

The standout physical highlight for both the JBL Live Buds 4 and Live Beam 4 is the integrated touchscreen display built directly into the pebble-shaped Smart Charging Case™. Operating on JBL Smart OS 3.0, the intuitive touchscreen allows users to:

1. Adjust playback volume and skip audio tracks directly.
2. Toggle Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Ambient Sound modes.
3. Fine-tune equalizer (EQ) profiles and view notifications without reaching for their smartphone.
4. Customize lock-screen wallpapers with personal photographs or preset themes via the JBL Headphones companion app.

Key Audio Features and Noise Cancellation

Both TWS models are built around 10mm dynamic drivers delivering JBL Signature Sound tuning with deep bass response and high-frequency balance.

• Acoustic Features: Certified Hi-Res Audio Wireless support, JBL Spatial Sound, Personi-Fi 3.0 custom hearing profiling, Personal Sound Amplification, and Low Volume EQ tuning.
• True Adaptive Noise Cancelling 2.0: Uses a four-microphone system that calibrates environmental noise in real time to filter out ambient distractions.
• Smart Talk Technology: Automatically pauses music playback when the user begins speaking, allowing for seamless quick conversations.
• AI-Enhanced Calls: Employs a six-microphone array paired with an AI-trained noise-reduction algorithm (Perfect Calls 2.0) to isolate vocal tones and suppress background clutter like wind, traffic, or office commotion.
