Of these, I listened to the new flagship TOUR PRO + TWS for a short time. He is working on the introduction of new diaphragm materials, ANC, external sound capture, and improvement of microphone quality. The mid-high range was beautiful and the texture of the main body was high, which made a good impression. JBL offers "CLUB PRO + TWS" for about 20,000 yen and is popular. Although the appearance is similar, it seems that the tuning is completely different from the CLUB PRO series that emphasizes low frequencies, so I would like to expect it as a product that plays a part in multifunctional complete wireless.
JBL boasts a high market share even for professional equipment. The EON ONE MK2 in the photo was exhibited as a reference exhibit as a column speaker for the event. In addition, KONAMI's eSports Ginza Studio, which was the venue, also introduced JBL audio equipment.
In addition to this, JBL's in-vehicle audio and other exhibits were also exhibited at the venue, and I was able to once again realize the depth of the JBL brand, which has a wide range of products.
The JBL system is also available as a manufacturer's option for the new Land Cruiser.
