JBuds Air ANC, True Wireless Earbuds, Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Earbuds, Black

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.

Well I'm the first reviewer of the Air ANC earbuds. I have tried MANY earbuds as I use them all day at work listening to Siriusxm, Spotify, Pocasts and the occasional phone call, you get the idea. I work in a noisy environment so Noise Cancelling is a big deal. Most wireless earbuds will get you maybe 6 hours max on a single charge, I have AirPos Pro and if get 5 hours, thats a good day. So I always need 2 pairs. I've tried many and they are too quiet, phone calls don't sound good, battery life was poor or the fit wasn't right. My current backup are Jlabs Air Icon, they're ok but I don't love them. Sorry for the long pre amble but I wanted to give you my expertise in this field, I would say I have my Masters in wireless earbuds! So the Air ANC are amazing!! First is the style, I'm not a fan of the hanging on the AirPods, these look great. Second, they fit really well, I wore them all day(It's my 2nd day using them). They didn't cause ear fatigue or become loose while talking or eating. they stayed in place. Third, the box says over 30 hours but thats with the extra charges you get from the case. I used them all day today and I got about 10 and 1/2 hours on a single charge! I haven't got that time since i had my LG Tone's! Amazing! Well thats all good but how to they sound? They sound great! Compared to AirPods Pro, I found them very compatible! Their noice cancelling worked very well too, I'm still learning the button pushes to turn NC on and off and the Be Aware mode, which lets outside noise in. Theres also a movie mode, I haven't tried that yet. Sound is good! Finally:price, these are only $69 bucks, the Pros are 250, you won't find many under 50 and if you do they probably aren't good and 50 bucks is probably the minimum you'd want to spend to get quality, trust me on that! 30 dollar earbuds will suck! These could easily be 100 or 125 but they're a steal at $69! I could not be happier with these earbuds, Jlabs has made a great product here! These, I think, are going be my go to earbuds, moving the Pros to 2nd place. Oh phone calls! I did use these make phone calls, Pros are still better i think but these are a very close 2nd and a major improvement from the Air Icons i have. Get these, you will not be disappointed in my opinion!

Before I start, I'd like to say I have returned my purchase and I have not gotten a replacement. Details in the below review: I purchased these as I got tired of playing around with wires with my current wired earbuds and I saw good reviews by many reviewers. Comfort: At first, it was okay. They fit nice and the passive noise isolation was decent. After a while, however, they started getting a bit heavy, and because I have small ears, it started to hurt because the big chungus drivers were hitting the inside of my ears pretty tightly. Not sure if they'll be recommended for long term use. They do however stay in once you put them in. I've done simple workouts like pushups, situps, etc. but they stayed in place. Have not run in them. Audio quality: Audio quality was better than I thought, but in hindsight, I'm not sure I think that anymore considering the price. I currently daily the Sound Magic E50S earbuds and Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones and I will be using these as benchmarks - both around the same price (cheaper) and decent low-mid range headphones. Both of these have a very flat frequency response because I produce some music as a hobby and enjoy being able to hear all sounds evenly. Compared to these two, they have a bit more bass and the treble drops off sooner. The sounds are mushier than my current headphones but they were OK. Mic quality is laughable, from my experience, and doesn't always pick up your voice. Noise cancellation: These were my first experience with ANC and honestly I did not expect much. First thing that scared me was that a lady screams "ANC ON," "ANC OFF," and "BE AWARE" in your ears at loud volume regardless of your playback volume. You can tell which mode you're in when listening so I don't think that feature is necessary. ANC off is default which is annoying because you have to cycle through be aware and loud lady every time you want to take it out of the charging case into ANC on. For the cancellation quality itself, I think it's OK. I don't hear any EXTERIOR noise (more on that in the "Issue" paragraph) and it felt weird smacking my wooden desk and sounding like I was smacking concrete. Although they tend to make music/playback quieter with this mode on, the noise cancellation itself works quite well. Be aware cranks exterior sound and blasts it over the music and amplifies any noise that the earbuds are making as well. There is a slight latency between actual sound and what is played so it may be trippy. I personally don't see a use for that considering the horrible quality. Battery: This is the only plus for me. I think they last more than advertised - about 12 hours, albeit I do mostly listen at low volumes. The charging is quite quick with the case, and the case itself charges pretty quick as well. I think the integrated USB cable was very convenient and nice too as I don't have to worry about carrying a separate cord and the connection breaking or being damaged. Issue: One big issue I had was a constant static/white noise, regardless of ANC status. With ANC on and no music playing, you can't hear anything other than the static. With ANC off, you can hear the static. With be aware, the static is blasted into your brains. It's a constant static at constant pitch and volume. I often use headphones at low volume so this was very noticeable. I also tried the 40 hour burn-in, but it did not help (Why doesn't JLab do this from factory??). Wondering if this was a manufacturing defect, I contacted JLab to see if they can maybe find a solution or send me a replacement... They did neither - they told me to destroy them, send them a pic of the products destroyed, and they'll give me virtual money (exclusive store credit equivalent to the value of the product). Absolutely not :) I immediately issued a refund on Amazon and sent these back! Dumbest customer service I have experienced so far. Here's the email quoted verbatim for those who are curious: "All JLab Audio products come with a 2 year limited warranty that we fully honor and stand behind! A receipt or proof of purchase is required in order to take advantage of the 2-year warranty. *IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF THE US, PLEASE LET US KNOW AS WE HAVE A SEPARATE PROCESS FOR INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS.* Before you jump to send us back your headphones, please instead, send us a picture of the equipment physically destroyed and rendered inoperable (you will need to physically destroy both Earbuds and Charging Case or Headphones and send pic) When we receive your proof of disposal, if viable, we will issue you a store credit for the value of your item as currently listed on our site. This option is being offered as a courtesy in lieu of sending your item to us for inspection, which is our normal warranty process. We will require a picture of the item destroyed regardless of the actual issue. *PLEASE DO NOT THROW AWAY CONTENTS UNTIL THE CLAIM IS COMPLETE* Once your picture is received and processed by our Returns Department, our store credit system then will provide a code for the full price of this product as sold by JLabAudio.com. This provides the option to receive a replacement of your current product by using the code or to choose any other awesome JLab Audio product using the store credit." TL;DR - I can't really recommend them for audiophiles or for people who are picky with subtle sounds as you will go crazy. If you are able to tune out some noise and just want some wireless headphones, they're fine, but honestly you can find some with maybe even better overall quality for cheaper.

I'm no audiophile, but I could discern song lyrics that I never could before due to the audio quality. The noise cancelling is nice, and the Be Aware mode is super helpful. It uses the microphones to play ambient sounds through the speaker. After switching between NC and Be Aware for the greater part of my 8hr shift , the battery was still well above half While working on my car, I noticed that clanging metal and power tool noises would cut out, so the audio passthrough won't deafen you. I was, however, hoping for a selective feature that would allow me to hear voices louder while suppressing other noises. I'm not a fan of not having buttons, especially since my hair and jacket hood can get in the way of touch input. The charger isn't annoying per se, but I would have preferred something like a micro/C port on the dock to plug into, instead of being stuck with dangling the thing 2 inches from the front of my PC. Lastly, I'm not sure these things really ever turn off, even in the case. I've put them in and shut the lid while I had a video playing and they didn't disconnect, I had to turn off my phone's Bluetooth myself. Overall, pretty dang good

UPDATE: More than "3 years" later purchased March 2021 and these still work perfectly! My co worker tested them out last night and they were amazed how crazy good they sound! I use these almost everyday at work, park, gym, grocery, errands. Best earbuds ever....period! These met my expectations. I had purchased a Jlab wireless headset (neon) before and was amazed on the sound quality... i to think these were on clearance. So i gave the ANC true wireless a shot. At first, i wasnt impressed at the bass but then i rememebered that you need to let new speakers "break-in" for them to sound best. In short, give it time. And in no time my head was boppin to the sound. The battery life is also insanely long. I finish an entire shift and when i get home they still have power. They only thing i would say im not crazy about is the ANC when you are outdoors. It picks up wind and then becomes annoying. So the ANC works best on non windy conditions... The 'be aware' function though is actually pretty good. So when i have them on, i can hear my wife call me from the other room... all in all i dont know why anyone would pay insane amounts of money when prettt much this is the complete package and more.

I was fairly happy with these earbuds when they arrived. One negative is they are bigger and bulkier than their competitor, Raycon earbuds (my son chose to purchase those). I chose the JLab's over the Raycon's because of JLab's claim of "noise cancelling". I was hoping to run the vacuum and still hear my podcasts. While the sound is different when using the "noise cancelling" feature, the outside noise is still loud and I do not hear the podcasts with the clarity I was hoping. I would not consider these earbuds noise cancelling. Because the ear buds themselves are fairly large, even though you can switch out eartips, the buds do not fit well in my ears and will sometimes fall out. My biggest complaint is that the left earbud stopped working and they are not yet 2 months old. JLab is taking them back and replacing them, but you should know that you are responsible for shipping costs and you have to send the old ones in first, then they send you a coupon to purchase new ones and then you can make your purchase. So I will be out of earbuds during the time it takes for JLab to receive my old buds, for them to process the return and issue a coupon and then once I place my order, I will be waiting to receive the replacement buds.

I bought these earbuds a little over 2 years ago for around $50, and I can say without a doubt these are an absolute steal even at full retail price which is $70. For $50, these have really good sound quality with excellent noise cancelling. I do have one issue with them though. My biggest problem with these earbuds is that they stick out a good bit past the inside of my ears and seem to have a fair bit of weight in that part of the earbud. This results in them slowly pulling themselves downward and eventually falling out of my ear. I believe the provided winglets are meant to help fix this issue, however the mating surfaces for these winglets (These surfaces are glossy rubber and smooth plastic) do not provide enough grip for them, causing the earbud to just slip off and leave the winglet behind in my ear. These issues are partially due to my left ear being kind of oddly shaped, and I experience similar issues with a lot of other earbuds, plus everybody's ears are shaped different, so take the fitment issues with a grain of salt. Other than the fitment issues, these earbuds are great, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering them!

I really like these headphones because of the battery life , portability, quality and features. I’ve had these for 9 months now and I have beat the crap out of them and they keep kicking . I’ve dropped them multiple times and they sound new , the battery last all day at work ,gym and the charger is built into the case so no carrying around a wire if i gotta charge the case , Genius! So now onto something i don't like as much , The case. It feels like it was made from melted down barbie dolls , kind of cheap feeling and the hinge isn’t as satisfying as something like the airpods case . although much more comfortable than airpods ,I much prefer to wear these all day

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

Ottimo audio! Ho acquistato questi auricolari da appena una settimana e data la mia esperienza con altri modelli acquistati su Amazon, ho deciso di scegliere quelli più performanti. Devo dire che il suono è eccezionale, la possibilità di scegliere tra i vari equalizzatori è davvero importante come anche la cancellazione del rumore, oltre alla modalità cinema/musica. Non so ancora usarle al 100% perché non ho ancora familiarizzato con i sensori touch e le varie modalità. Spero di poter sfruttare presto al massimo delle loro potenzialità, soprattutto per lo sport. Un punto a sfavore è la comodità. Devo provare se facendo sport indossandole per lungo tempo, danno fastidio o cadono. Una mancanza tanto importante è l’assenza di un set aggiuntivo di finn di diversa misura. Sarebbe stato gradito, viste le grandi qualità del suono ed il presso un po’ più al di sopra della media. Le consiglio nonostante tutto. Ottima la qualità del suono.

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.

Buena

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.
