JLabJBuds Air ANC Bluetooth Earbuds, Active Noise Cancelling Earphones, Wireless Headphones with IP55 Sweat Resistance and Custom EQ3 Sound, In Ear Buds with Microphone and USB Charging Case

Sound has a nicely balanced quality which can be easily and effectively deepened in the bass or further balanced with the preset eq curves accessed via a touch interaction with either bud. Overall the sound is quite punchy with clear voices and instruments in any eq mode however the first 'signature' eq was preferable to my ear. Passive isolation is quite good and allows for music listening at moderate volumes and above without needing to engage anc. Engaging anc while listening to music appears to accentuate the upper mids and lower treble incidentally. This is quite common with the majority of anc headphones so this wasn't a problem for me. ANC is extremely effective, as you would expect low frequency sounds are easily eliminated but also does a surprisingly good job at usefully reducing mid range sounds and can also have a significant effect on voices. General traffic sounds are almost entirely removed. Case feels a bit...powdery and cheap in the hand with some audible plastic creak but the buds are well built and feel acceptably solid. Awareness mode is really well implemented..slight amplification of sounds but no delay or weird timbre; probably the most effective and useful version of this feature I've used so far. Well worth considering at full or discounted price.. excellent and reliable all-rounders that also make music sound enjoyable too. Recommended.

I like the fact that these have noise cancellation, but my main issue is with the mic. Whenever I am talking on phone wearing these, the other person can never hear me. The mic is not good at all.

Wow, i wasn't expecting such great sound form these. I mean they are not the Sony's or Sennheiser but really good. i listen to variety of music incl that with quiet vocals and bass and quite frankly I wasn't expecting this quality. A definite A+ from me! Also, the fit was very good and they have a real feel of quality in the hand not some cheap feel. Extremely pleasantly surprised all round.

Ordered these for Nightshift at work, have great sound quality, as well as the noise cancellation being a great bonus.However, quite disappointed in the battery length, seems to only last for an hour to a hour n half before needing charging.

I'm not going to complain... OK noise is a bit tinny. But for the price is buying a top brand pair worth it? Perfectly audible, easy to set up and not too uncomfortable. Are a bit bulky to look at when inside the ear.... as in they poke out a bit. But nothing to worry about. Bass is fine and plenty of options by pressing each or both buds. I would recommend looking at the manual as although you've plenty of settings it could get complicated.Overall I'd give them 7/8 -10

I realise these are budget earbuds but I've had several problems that are a major pain in the neck. Firstly the charging cable is attached, which means it's a 2 inch cable. That's a serious pain point if you're used to sticking a full length cable in for conveniently charging it wherever you want. As it is, I have to stick this thing in a charger or a USB slot on a PC directly. For me, that's a downside, not an upside.Secondly, the rubber seals that fit to the device, tend to slip off on my ones. Which means that they go slightly out of place, and then the buds don't properly seat in the charging case, and thus don't charge. If your buds don't charge, they're useless.Thirdly, when you change the noise cancelling mode it beeps at you. It doesn't say 'This type of NC' or something useful. Nor can I find a section in the manual that says, 'One beep means this, two beeps means this' and you can't control that through the app.I believe their higher level model does let you control the noise cancelling through the app so you can be sure what mode it's in. I honestly can't tell the difference between the modes but I don't have experience with noise cancelling.I do have experience with wireless earbuds though, and I can't recommend these for the flaws I've stated. If you are on a budget as I am right now, get something else.

Battery life good on one ear bud and the other ear bud it dies quickly

The claimed operating time, to me, was a work of fiction... not based on any reality.Before first use, I made sure that the buds AND the case were fully charged.Pairing was simple enough, but after about 20 minutes use, it was signalling low battery, and shut off soon after.I thought maybe I hadn't fully charged them the first time, so I fully charged them again.This time I paid attention to the actual operating time (thinking that maybe I had "miscalculated?").It was a repeat of the first experience... lasted about 30 minutes before shutting off.Some of the other reviewers seemed to have had a similar problem... if I were you, I'd believe then.

These JLAB ANC earbud are fantastic so far. I've had them for about 6 months now and as my first pair of wireless earbuds and my first set of Active Noise Cancellation of any sort they are fantastic. I've wanted an active noise cancellation headset or earbuds for quite a while and finally jumped into the pool. There are dozens of options that provide a wide range of price points and consumer ratings. I read a lot of reviews and settled on these from JLAB and I am glad I did.I get very reasonable noise cancellation. They won't completely block out a lawn mower or a crying baby on an airplane but will make those sounds tolerable. When I cut the grass, I wear the earbuds and a cheap pair of over the ear sound protectors and get great results. I have tested the $200+ noise cancelling headsets but only in the store and I think these perform very nearly as well for an affordable price.As they are my first earbuds of any kind, I can only say that they stay put. The memory foam tips come in 3 sizes and are comfortable. I can't say if they are heavy or light. I can tell that I am wearing them for sure but they do not grow bothersome or painful after several hours of continuous use. I've gone 4 or 5 hours with them in and found no discomfort.That leads to battery life. Advertised as 10 hour capacity, I can't see ever wearing them that long at a stretch. My longest session was about 7 hours. I think I have heard the "low battery" alert just one time. Between uses, I pop the earbuds back into the carrying case (included with the earbuds) and that tops up the earbud charge. So, it is difficult to say just how long a single charge will last. I carry the case in my jeans pocket or a day pack to use the earbuds several times a day totaling maybe 3 or 4 hours per day. The LED lights on the case let you know charge lever remaining and I pop them into a USB port on a laptop or wall when I see the LED dots drop a light or two. That isn't test to failure kind of report but is what I get with my normal use.My only regret is that I didn't look to see if they are offered in colors other than black. I have left them laying on a counter or bedside table and the dark color can make them difficult to find. But then they aren't white or some other stand-out color when I am wearing them. I guess it is a fair tradeoff and I will take the look when I am wearing them.I don't recall just what I paid for the earbuds here on Amazon.com but I think it was in the $50 neighborhood. I am very pleased with the performance, durability and functionality for that price point. I could afford the higher price for the big-name earbuds but can't see why I need to. They certainly offer style points if that is your goal. I prefer very good sound quality, battery life, water resistance and the rest while keeping an extra $100 in my pocket. That fits nicely alongside the JLAB charging case that comes with the earbuds.

Ik was zeer tevreden met de geluidskwaliteit en de Active Noise Cancellation vond ik verbazingwekkend goed werken.Echter er zit een groot nadeel aan de oortjes, en dat zijn de zogenaamde "cush fins". Dit zijn rubberen bandjes die zorgen voor een betere aansluiting op het oor, waardoor de dopjes beter blijven zitten en geluid isoleren. Helaas blijven deze niet goed vast zitten aan de oordopjes en verschuiven ze makkelijk. Als een cush fin net niet goed zit past het dopje niet goed in de oplaadcase waardoor het opladen niet werkt.Erger nog, zonder dat ik het in eerste instantie doorhad is de cush fin van mijn rechter oordopje ergens eraf gevallen en kwijt geraakt. Zonder dit onderdeel valt het oordopje makkelijk uit mijn oor, en dit is daarna ook meermaals gebeurd. Er worden helaas geen extra cush fins meegeleverd.

Unfortunately one earbud failed after 2months. Will be too costly to send it to the US for "repair".//Anders

Nutze die Kopfhörer schon ein halbes Jahr und bin eigentlich recht zufrieden. Die Laufzeit der Batterie ist super und sind schnell geladen. Sitzen gut im Ohr und schalten sich in der Box automatisch aus. Die Gummiringe, die zum halt im Ohr sorgen fangen nach 6 Monaten an den halt an den Kopfhörern zu verlieren. Zum Glück gibt es ein ersatzpaar.
