Wireless earbuds with smart cases are growing in popularity. Leading the charge is JBL. The legacy audio brand previously launched the Tour Pro 2 to mild success. I say mild because, while the buds and their touchscreen case were well received, the product wasn’t viewed as a legit threat to the true wireless throne.
