While I’m unsure which brand first invented the touchscreen charging case, I’ve seen many lesser-known brands featuring this at exhibitions. According to Business Insider, JBL launched the world’s first TWS earbuds with this feature – the Tour Pro 2 in 2022, followed by the Tour PRO 3 in 2024. Personally, the touchscreen seems like an add-on; I’m more interested in the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) performance

A month at a consumer electronics exhibition, we saw earbuds with touchscreens, AI translation, and other added features, highlighting how earbuds are evolving beyond just audio. 😂
