JBL Live Beam 3 review: a strong case for stellar earbuds that easily outlast the rest

Screen time, but better this time.

TechRadar Verdict

There's plenty to like about JBL's Live Beam 3 – the second-gen offering of JBL's screen-on-case earbuds – besides the case. But what sets them apart is the leap in sound quality, which is now energetic and full-bodied, and also more dynamically agile, cohesive, nuanced and engaging. Oh, and the battery life is excellent, too.

Vastly improved audio

Screen does more – including lock-screen images

Excellent battery life

Somewhat weak spatial audio profiles

ANC is good, but beaten by class-leaders

JBL Live Beam 3: Two-minute review

There are lots of great options on our guide to the  best noise-cancelling earbuds , but there's one feature that none of those excellent buds offer: a screen on the case. And the screen on the JBL Live Beam 3 is so much more fun than the display of its predecessor, because now you can select a lock-screen wallpaper from any of the photos stored on your paired smartphone, and the image will even flip so it stays the right way up (so all your friends can see it) when you snap open the case. 

I still wouldn't describe it as a must-have – it still feels as if JBL could deliver greater more through this touchscreen, since it still doesn't present functionality that your smartwatch can, for example –  but given the fact that to tweak the volume by tapping the buds results in the loss of either playback control or ANC profile-scrolling (you don't have to sacrifice anything using the box), it's certainly useful. In addition, the lock-screen wallpaper personalization feature is a nice touch. 

However, the real improvements here aren't to do with the screen. No, the real star here is the improved audio quality. It's typically Harman curve-esque and meaty – but in the best way. There's an expansive soundstage; there's dynamic agility; there's cohesion across the frequencies this time around. 

Plus, battery life is excellent at up to 12 hours from the earbuds alone, minus noise cancellation, or 10 hours with it engaged (and nearer nine with adaptive ANC on –more on the efficacy of this later). The case, too, delivers three further charges, taking your total audio playback time up to a class-leading 48 hours. For clarity, Apple 's priciest Pro-suffixed AirPods only deliver 5.5 hours with its top-tier Spatial Audio deployed, or a maximum of 30 hours including the case. 

The JBL Live Beam 3 also boast a very well-rounded feature set, including auto-off when you remove one bud, a fit test, multipoint connectivity, plus a few novel bits and pieces – including "Personi-Fi", where a detailed hearing test of each ear enables you to better tailor the sound to your liking. 

I wasn't convinced by the spatial audio profiles, which is a shame, since JBL has offered a total of three immersive soundscapes for music, movies and games. If you're expecting sonic articles in a three-dimensional space here, you'll be disappointed – and although the ANC is fine, it isn't about to challenge Sony or Bose in the supreme bubble-of-silence stakes. Yes, low-level constants are massaged (my microwave humming away didn't filter through, for example), but the sound of cars outside simply floating away wasn't quite there. 

One truly valuable addition few competitors offer is something JBL is calling Smart Talk. It lowers the volume of your music and activates JBL's TalkThru mode as soon as you speak, then resumes to normal service either five, 15 or 20 seconds after you've stopped. It's a great little feature because you don't have to touch the buds to engage it  – for example, when someone in the office wants to know where that report is. And, of course, if you don't like it, it's easy enough to toggle it off in the JBL Headphones app. 

The fit is great, the battery is seemingly never-ending and, honestly, the JBL Beam 3 quickly became my go-to earbuds for confident, banging, thumping bass – and given my qualms over the audio in previous stablemates, it's a big leap forward for JBL, for which I commend the company. 

For the price, JBL offers a very reasonable sound-per-pound proposition here. Having said that, the price in the UK is currently £179.99 – not the initially reported £149.99. Nevertheless, the JBL Beam 3 still represent value for money, particularly if stamina is a priority in noise-cancelling earbuds. 

JBL Live Beam 3 review: Price & release date

• Unveiled January 2024 (but only available to buy from June 3, 2024)
• Priced $199.95 / £179.99 / AU$249

The keen-eyed will note that the prices above mean the JBL Live Beam 3 (thus called because of the "beams", or stems attached) retail for $50, £50 or AU$100 cheaper than the screen-on-case-enhanced earbuds they effectively replace, the JBL Tour Pro 2 .

The Live Beam 3 are actually one of three earbuds propositions with cases that JBL unveiled simultaneously in January 2024. The Live 3 range comprises the Buds, Flex and Beam, the latter of which we're reviewing here. The Buds 3 look most like standard earbuds; the Flex 3 are akin to the shape of regular Apple AirPods, with a stick design but no silicone tip that sits in the ear canal; and the Beam 3 are similar to Apple's AirPods Pro, with a stick design plus an in-ear fit and ear tips. 

All three options boast JBL's smart screen case, True Adaptive Noise Cancelling,  Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio , JBL Spatial Sound, LDAC Hi-Res Audio for compatible phones, multi-point connectivity, wireless charging, and six external mics to facilitate noise cancellation and to help with calls. Also, all are similarly priced. 

There are a few differences to quickly scoot through: Buds and Beam are certified IP55 for water-resistance, while the Flex are IP54; the Buds and Beam have 10mm dynamic drivers compared to 12mm for the Flex; and the quoted battery life is up to 40 hours on the Buds, 48 on the Beam, and 50 on the Flex (for the buds and case combined).

JBL Live Beam 3 review: Specs

JBL Live Beam 3 review: Features

• Excellent call quality features
• Personal amplification and Personi-Fi add value
• The case – you can't ignore it

JBL has thrown everything it has at these earbuds – and that's putting the charging case to one side for a moment, concentrating on the various audio augmentations and fixes instead. 

Call-handling is ace, thanks in no small part to the numerous options you have available to enhance the experience, including Sound Level Optimiser, which balances the volume of the voice on the other end of the line; Sound Setting, with which you can increase the bass or treble of that voice, or keep things "natural"; Voice Setting, which is the same thing, but for your own voice; VoiceAware, which is a slider to control how much of your own voice you'd like to hear during calls; and Private Call Mode, which actually lets you remove one bud and use it as a mic, so you might lower your voice a little and keep the convo private. During tests, the majority of folk on the other end said that I sounded as if I was just talking on the phone – which certainly can't be said of every set of earphones I've ever tested. 

This level of attention to detail continues across the board. You have six EQ presets or the option to create your own, plus Adaptive EQ for real-time adjustments, with the option of toggling on "Low Volume EQ" to boost highs and lows, even if you're listening at low volumes. There's even "Leakage Compensation", to sort the sonics if the tips you've fitted don't offer an optimal seal. 

The ANC has similar scope. Deploy ANC (over Ambient Aware, TalkThru or off all together) and you can customize functionality by toggling Adaptive ANC – which adjusts the level of cancellation based on your surroundings – and Auto Compensation, which adjusts things based on your ear canal and wearing status once more. 

But we're not done: if you switch Adaptive ANC off, you're presented with a slider that offers seven increments of noise-nixing, irrespective of your location. On paper, it sounds exceptional – and in reality it's good. The seventh level nixes most low-level thrums happily; it certainly doesn't color or negatively impact the presentation. Nevertheless, I think Adaptive is the way to go, because I felt it did a fair job of making adjustments when I was at the beach, on the street, and at home. Does it lower the noise floor in your noggin as deftly as the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds or the AirPods Pro 2 can? Not quite. And that goes for the JBL Beam 3's spatial audio profiles (movies, music or gaming have been supplied), too. Things feel a little warmer, more bass-centric and cosier for sure; but it isn't the eyebrow-raising, bullets-over-my-head performance I might have dreamt of. 

That's the reason I knocked half a star off the score for this section, but I maintain that there's still so much here to love – and I haven't even spoken about Personi-Fi yet! This involves a lengthy hearing test of ever-quieter tones at various frequencies dealt to each ear (after an initial fit test). But it's worth it. 

After the tests, you're presented with a written report, which offers a mini verdict on the compensation required for each ear and the option to "have a try" by toggling it on and off. Suffice to say, it's not just parlour tricks or fun graphics (although there is one); it does genuinely make the music ever-so-slightly more detailed, the leading edges of notes more impactful, and the overall presentation is layered with greater precision – to my ears, at any rate. I tended to deploy this, but leave spatial audio to one side when wearing the JBL Live Beam 3. 

Lastly, to the case. I used it much more than I did when testing the JBL Tour Pro 2. It's responsive and far easier to navigate than the previous iteration, plus you can hide features you won't use in the app – the flashlight feature is fun, but it essentially just turns the screen a bright white; my iPhone's torch feature is better. I also really liked the lock-screen wallpaper. Yes, it might be the high-tech equivalent of a Polaroid sticker on your earbuds case; but so what? We're allowed to want that.

JBL Live Beam 3 review: Sound quality

• LDAC tracks are beautifully relayed 
• Bass is resolute; treble well handled
• Greatly improved audio 

No matter what you listen to, the JBL Live Beam 3 will sound rather good, but it seems a shame to listen to lowly compressed Spotify streams when Sony's LDAC (from a compatible device – a Sony Xperia smartphone, for instance) is on the menu with these JBLs. Apple Music tracks are handled with zeal and flair, as are my trusted Qobuz tracks. 

Melissa Etheridge's' I'm the Only One is a bass-walking, axe-talking country romp. Etheridge's textured vocal is central and emotive in a mix that shines a light on each solo, riff or musical passage; it will have you dancing wherever you listen to it. 

Baby Lasagna's Rim Tim Tagi Dim is a tough ask for the driver-snap, dynamic nuance and musical cohesion in any set of earbuds, but the JBL Live Beam 3 don't shy away from it. This is techno, and it can easily be muddied in lesser earbuds. Here, though,  I felt every cymbal as it darted from my left to right ear, but never at the expense of the vocal. 

The JBL Live Beam 3 are able to unearth an extra ounce of detail through the strummed guitars and vocal in Noah Kahan's acoustic Stick Season, too, and the fact that I was tapping my foot along is proof that the timing here and agility through the low end is greatly improved over the JBL Tour Pro 2, which I felt were a tad treble-centric, even tinny on occasion. 

The sound is typically JBL at its best again, and you love to see it – sonically, they're a big hit. Want big, exuberant sound that knows when to deliver large, but also when to pull back just a little, allowing the detail to shine through? That's the sonic recipe the JBL Beam 3 present – and I like it for the money. 

• Sound quality score: 5/5

JBL Live Beam 3 review: Design

• Earpieces fit snugly and securely
• On-ear functions require compromise
• The case is very likeable

I found these earbuds easy to wear – despite my small ears. However, it's worth noting that the Live Beam 3's earpiece design does sit rather far into your ear canals. Those who find this type of fit claustrophobic – think AirPods Pro 2 – may want to look at JBL's other designs, although I can't vouch for those. Again, it won't be an issue for most, just worth noting. 

The on-ear touch functions respond well and can be customised, but this does lead me to a minor negative: you need to ditch a set of functions. To explain, your command options are Playback Control, Ambient Sound Control, and Volume Control, but you have only two ears – and only two earbuds to assign jobs to. I often criticize earbuds that don't offer a way to tweak the volume of music without having to dig out a phone (or ask Siri); while the JBL Beam 3 do offer volume control, assigning that to the left earbud and Playback Control to the right meant I had to forego on-ear ANC. Yes, the touchscreen enabled me to quickly access the ANC, Ambient or TalkThru modes (although not the extra adaptive toggles), but at this level I don't think it's churlish to expect your earbuds to be able to handle all three – because other options, such as the Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 , do. 

However, that's where the criticism ends; because the case is very fun. Where the JBL Tour Pro 2 felt like a prototype, the JBL Beam 3 feel every millimeter a second-gen upgrade. They've been refined, made more sleek – and more svelte, too. Yes, the case is still deeper than your average case at 3.25cm (or just over one-and-a-quarter inches) thick, but the little lanyard spot on the top right (as you look at the screen) is quite delightful – because you've now got lock-screen wallpaper to show off. 

The build quality of this case feels resoundingly expensive – and I maintain that Apple is watching from afar, to implement in future AirPods designs . And while the screen isn't an essential yet for functionality, the resolution, responsiveness and brightness – which can be adjusted; you get three levels – is spot on. 

• Design score: 4/5

JBL Live Beam 3 review: Value

• Exceptional battery life; great sound
• The classy finish feels expensive
• Spatial audio performance is the only issue 

The JBL Live Beam 3's battery life, sound quality (with its smorgasbord of customisations), build and finish are more than worthy of the money here. And the noise cancellation will please all but the most picky of noise-nixers. Oh, and you also get a screen – which in no way affects the stellar stamina. 

My only real gripes are the compromises relating to on-ear functionality, plus the somewhat disappointing spatial audio trio JBL offers here. If you're after buds that are great for movies, for example, I'd point you to the (much more expensive) Sonos Ace headphones, or the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds . 

But given the competitive asking price of the JBL Live Beam 3 (the Bose alternative listed above cost $299 / £299 / AU$449, which is $100 / £120 or AU$200 more than the JBLs), there's so, so much still to enjoy for the money. 

• Value score: 5/5

Should I buy the JBL Live Beam 3?

Buy them if....

You're taking long trips These earbuds offer a class-leading maximum battery life of 48 hours – two whole days of playback. During testing, these claims proved genuine, too (and no, the case doesn't drain it… but yes, that's surprising!)

You have a Sony phone – or you just want great sound LDAC is lovely to see on the spec sheet, but even if you don't have a Sony handset, the sound here is very good indeed: punchy, vibrant, but also agile and detailed. 

You wear your heart on your sleeve You can stick a photo of your beloved right there on your earbuds' case – and when you open the box, it flips the other way up so everyone will still see it correctly. 

Don't buy them if...

You prioritize spatial audio There are three options here for movies, music and gaming, but, sadly, I wasn't able to glean a fully immersive, Dolby Atmos-type omnidirectional presentation from the Beam 3s. 

You find some in-ears intrusive or nauseating While not too big (they fit my small ears just fine) there's a small chance these units may sit a little too far into your ear. For those who don't like this kind of thing, look elsewhere.

You need the full complement of on-ear functionality Here, you have to select two out of three – volume, playback and ANC – options. You can't have all three. 

JBL Live Beam 3 review: Also consider

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds Want device-agnostic, head-tracked spatial audio, plus some of the best ANC in the business? It's here in this latest set of earbuds from Bose. You'll have to pay more (and be prepared to forego multi-point connectivity, super stamina, wireless charging support, and a fraction of detail from the sound quality), but maybe that's no issue for you…  Read more in our Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds review

Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 Another pricier option (although not as pricy as the Bose), but the ANC here is very good indeed – as is the sound quality. And to top it all off, you also get the option of Matt Berry on voice prompts (his "Waiting to pair!" is the best you've ever heard). No screen on the case, mind, and the overall aesthetic is far more shy and retiring. Make your choice by reading our Cambridge Audio Melomania M100 review

How I tested the JBL Live Beam 3

• Tested for two weeks; listened against the Cambridge Audio Melomania M100, AirPods Pro 2 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra
• Used at work (in the office, walking through London, on a train), at home and on the beach
• Listened to Tidal Masters, Apple Music Lossless tracks and Spotify on an iPhone 13 Pro, a Sony Xperia 1 V and a MacBook Pro

The JBL Live Beam became my musical companions for two weeks – after a thorough 48-hour run-in period (during which I loaded many lock-screen wallpaper options to the case). 

They accompanied me to work on weekdays (walking brusquely to the station; on the London Underground network; at the office), and throughout a week in Dorset, with regular trips along the promenade and to the beach at low tide – which is a great way to test any wind-interference from mics during calls.

To better test the comfort levels and security of the JBL Live Beam 3, I wore them to the gym – and they certainly did not budge during training. 

To check the audio quality across the frequencies, I listened to various playlists (spanning everything from classical to crunk) on Apple Music, Qobuz and Tidal , but also to podcasts and albums on Spotify – and YouTube tutorials (mostly about soldering sterling silver bezels to make jewelry from the sea glass collected at the beach, if you're curious) on my MacBook Pro. 

I’ve been testing audio products for over five years now. As a dancer, aerialist and musical theater performer in another life, sound quality, fit and the user experience have always taken priority for me – but having heard how wonderful ANC can be when done well, I know what to look for.

JBL Live Beam 3: Styr uppspelningen med laddningsdosan

Expertbetyg

Fördelar.

• Bekväma och sitter säkert
• Uppspelningsljud och brusreducering
• Omfattande anpassningsmöjligheter
• Kan styras via laddningsdosan
• Den ”knubbiga” laddningsdosan tar upp en hel del plats i byxfickan
• Endast IP55-klassad (inte helt damm- och vattenskyddade)

Omdöme

JBL Live Beam 3 låter riktigt bra och filtrerar effektivt bort störade brus. Passformen är perfekt och batteritiden klart godkänd. Nyhetsvärdet är förvisso lägre nu än när JBL lanserade den första modellen med Smart Charging Case för drygt ett år sedan men konceptet känns ändå fortfarande unikt. Att kunna styra hörlurarnas funktioner via laddningsdosan är smidigt och något konkurrenterna garanterat kommer att ta efter framöver.    

True wireless, det vill säga helt trådlösa hörlurar, är knappast ett köpargument som biter. Inte heller aktiv brusreducering, som snarare får anses som standard i de flesta nya modeller numera.

En smart laddningsdosa kanske kan vara något som faller dig i smaken? Det hoppas i alla fall JBL som nyligen lanserade tre modeller som kommer med just en sådan. Det är förvisso inte tillverkarens första hörlurar som levereras med ett smart fodral med integrerade funktioner, redan förra årets testade vi modellen Tour Pro 2 som trots den saftiga prislappen förärades med ett riktigt högt betyg.

Tre nya modeller lanserade

Drygt ett år senare lanserade JBL nyligen Live TWS 3-serien som består av hörlurarna Buds 3, Beam 3 och Flex 3. Samtliga levereras med det tillhörande Smart Charging Case och modellerna är snarlika sett till tekniska specifikationer. Det som skiljer dem åt är passform, design och batteritid (Flex 3 har därutöver något större element, 12 mm jämfört med 10 mm i de övriga två). Jag väljer att testa modellen Beam 3 av den enkla anledningen att de har enligt mig den snyggaste designen. Det som sticker ut med de nya modellerna är den medföljande, ”smarta” laddningsdosan. Och visst upplevs den som speciell och unik – även om det som tidigare nämnts inte är första gången vi stöter på fenomenet.

Flertalet funktioner kan styra från den smarta laddningsdosan. 

Andreas Bergsman

Laddningsdosa med pekskärm

Tanken med dessa dosor är att du enkelt ska kunna styra uppspelningen liksom aktivera olika funktioner via den 1,45 tum stora pekskärmen istället för, eller som komplement, till hörlurarnas touch-kontroller eller via appen i din telefon. Med andra är laddningsdosans pekskärm en nödvändighet för att allt ska lira friktionsfritt, snarare en cool extra-feature som säkert kan tilltala en och annan användare.

Installationen är via appen snabbt avklarad varpå jag kan börja leka med laddningsdosan. En kul funktion är du kan ladda upp en valfri bakgrundsbild som visas i den lilla skärmen när denna aktiveras (när locket öppnas samt om du petar på skärmen). Vidare har du flertalet menyer som du när genom att svepa med fingret mot ytan åt endera höger eller vänster; Equalizer, timerfunktion, aktivera den aktiv brusreduceringen, förstärka omgivningsljudet, byta ljudspår, justera volymen etcetera.

Du kan ladda upp en egen bild och använda som bakgrund.

Du kan även välja att få notiser för meddelanden och epost liksom använda dosans skärm som en ficklampa. Kort och gott – funktioner du kan styra via appen eller från hörlurarna kan du även hantera här. Jag måste medge att jag till en början var något skeptiskt till upplägget, men efter ett par dagars användande inser jag nu att dosan faktiskt har ett existensberättigande då den är träffsäkrare och enklare att använda än hörlurarnas touchkontroller. Baksidan av myntet är att den är större, mer skrymmande och tyngre än många andra ”dumma” laddningsdosor.  

Bra passform, smidig app

JBL skickar med fyra par pluppar i silikon för att du ska hitta den perfekta passformen. När du väl hittat de du trivs bäst med kan du via en funktion i appen kontrollera att hörlurarna sitter optimalt, med minimalt ljudläckage.

Totalt 4 par pluppar i olika storlekar medföljer.

Appen är för övrigt riktigt bra, här finns en mängd olika inställningsmöjligheter att utforska för en så bra ljudupplevelse som möjligt. Dels kan du välja om den aktiva brusreduceringen ska vara adaptiv och automatiskt anpassa sig efter det omgivande ljudet liksom om den i realtid ska justeras efter passformen i vartdera örat. Vidare har du här en omfattande equalizer, som i adaptivt läge kan kompensera för aktuell passform.

Omfattande inställningsmöjligheter i den tillhörande appen. 

Brusreduceringen är riktigt effektiv. De fyra brusregistrerande mikrofonerna anpassar ljudet automatiskt efter omgivningen i realtid och de gör det med bravur. Jag gillar även att det snabbt och enkelt går att förstärka det omgivande ljudet (Ambient Aware) liksom Talkthru-funktionen vid konversationer med personer i din närhet.

Även uppspelningsljudet får med beröm godkänt, de dynamiska 10 mm-elementen känns väl avvägda vilket resulterar i en källardjup båsåtergivning, ett balanserat och engagerande mellanregister liksom en krispig diskant med hög närvarokänsla.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

Kievskaya Metro Station

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

Moscow Metro 2019

Will it be easy to find my way in the Moscow Metro? It is a question many visitors ask themselves before hitting the streets of the Russian capital. As metro is the main means of transport in Moscow – fast, reliable and safe – having some skills in using it will help make your visit more successful and smooth. On top of this, it is the most beautiful metro in the world !

. There are over 220 stations and 15 lines in the Moscow Metro. It is open from 6 am to 1 am. Trains come very frequently: during the rush hour you won't wait for more than 90 seconds! Distances between stations are quite long – 1,5 to 2 or even 3 kilometers. Metro runs inside the city borders only. To get to the airport you will need to take an onground train - Aeroexpress.

RATES AND TICKETS

Paper ticket A fee is fixed and does not depend on how far you go. There are tickets for a number of trips: 1, 2 or 60 trips; or for a number of days: 1, 3 days or a month. Your trips are recorded on a paper ticket. Ifyou buy a ticket for several trips you can share it with your traveling partner passing it from one to the other at the turnstile.

On every station there is cashier and machines (you can switch it to English). Cards and cash are accepted. 1 trip - 55 RUB 2 trips - 110 RUB

Tickets for 60 trips and day passes are available only at the cashier's.

60 rides - 1900 RUB

1 day - 230 RUB 3 days - 438 RUB 30 days - 2170 RUB.

The cheapest way to travel is buying Troyka card . It is a plastic card you can top up for any amount at the machine or at the ticket office. With it every trip costs 38 RUB in the metro and 21 RUB in a bus. You can get the card in any ticket office. Be prepared to leave a deposit of 50 RUB. You can get it back returning the card to the cashier.

SamsungPay, ApplePay and PayPass cards.

One turnstile at every station accept PayPass and payments with phones. It has a sticker with the logos and located next to the security's cabin.

GETTING ORIENTED

At the platfrom you will see one of these signs.

It indicates the line you are at now (line 6), shows the direction train run and the final stations. Numbers below there are of those lines you can change from this line.

In trains, stations are announced in Russian and English. In newer trains there are also visual indication of there you are on the line.

To change lines look for these signs. This one shows the way to line 2.

There are also signs on the platfrom. They will help you to havigate yourself. (To the lines 3 and 5 in this case).
