Detailed Comparison

Sound Quality

JBL Tour Pro 3

Excellent JBL-tuned audio with spatial sound support.

JBL Pro Sound with 10mm drivers delivers punchy, detailed audio across all genres
Head tracking spatial audio adds immersion for movies and gaming

Nothing Ear (open)

Surprisingly capable audio for an open-ear design, with good clarity and a wider soundstage than sealed earbuds.

14.2mm titanium-coated driver delivers clear mids and treble with a natural, airy soundstage
Bass is present but noticeably reduced compared to sealed earbuds — a fundamental limitation of open-ear design
Sound leakage is noticeable at higher volumes — people nearby can hear your music in quiet environments
