Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been using these JBUDS PODS for several days, and I cannot seem to make much of a dent in the batteries. They were fully charged when I took the JBUDS out of their case, and I am still at 100 per cent as I type this. Bear in mind I am not a constant user. I don’t use these at work, but I do like to listen to music at night and use my tablet and laptop without disturbing others. They are comfortable, and the sound is excellent. Perhaps not the very best I’ve heard, but they are so comfortable to wear for long periods that I don’t feel like nitpicking on the sound. Nor does the sound grate on me after long periods of listening. The treble is defined without sounding edgy, and the bass adds plenty of body without sounding boomy for show. The balance is just right. And the JBUDS stay in place. Not once have they come loose with ordinary activity. You just forget they are there. One important point for first time users. You must make sure that the tips that fit in your ear canal are the proper size so that you get a complete seal when you put them on. This is important and not stressed or mentioned in the Quick Start Guide that comes in the box. The JBUDS seemed to fit nicely in my ear when I first put them on, but the sound was tinny with no bass at all. You get three pairs of tips in the box, so I switched out the ones that were installed at the factory with a larger pair which did make a nice seal in my ears, and made all the difference in the world with the sound. The bass was back, and the sound absolutely blossomed. JLAB offers an app for both Android and iPhone users which provides multiple ways to manipulate and control the sound of these buds. You will find it useful, but I recommend that you pair the buds with your phone first before installing the app. The quick start guide seems to suggest that the app should be installed first. When I did that, the iPhone would show up on the app as paired with the phone, but the buds were not in the phone’s Bluetooth list, and the sounds came through the phone’s speakers and not the buds. The only way I found to fix that was to uninstall the app, turn off the buds by putting them back in the case, and then reboot the phone. I then put the buds back in the pairing mode and paired them without installing the app. The buds paired and worked perfectly, and I was then able to download the app again, and everything worked perfectly. I tried the ANC and could hear its effect on background noise with varied results. If only the ANC could turn off the ringing in my ears caused by my tinnitus! These are fine ear pods with extra long battery life and great sound. I recommend them highly!

Pretty decent sound from these earbuds. They're relatively inexpensive (compared to others out there) and provide good sound quality for not that much money. I've used numerous earbuds in my time and price is always the big thing with these. New ones comes out all the time so putting in some money for decent buds can be a pain sometimes. While these aren't your high end brand, these are no slouch when it comes to sound quality vs $$$. Like most other earbuds, you get some different sized tips (only two sizes with these) as well as the charging cable. The earbuds are comfortable and don't slip out too easily but fit snug enough. With regards to the sound. Not quite as bass heavy as I like but that's a personal preference. Good mids and highs with these so sound quality is pretty clear. Bass could be a bit more but, again, that's a personal preference. Charge time seems pretty good although I haven't been able to use them from fully charged to empty. With these buds + case, you should have no issues with battery life over the course of a day.

Review of JLab JBudsPODS ANC TWE At first, the earbud JLAB JBudsPODS ANC deliver a quite nice sound experience for being its price category. Its surrounding and spatial effect while listening music or movie does come close to those higher category of audio. Another aspect to remark is having used it for about an hour doesn’t feel muscle fatigue in the ear as would happen with some other models and brands. To its specifications, 1. 56+ Hours of Playtime 2. BUILT In Lab Spatial AUDIO EQ 3. 6 Dedicated Microphones for ANC/Calls 4. Hybrid Active, Noise Cancelling, BE Aware Mode, For Safe Listening 5. IPS 55 Sweat and Splashproof 6. LAB Quality Sound for EQ Sound Modes 7. Customize Your Sound + Experience with JLAB App 8. Google Fast Pair for Android Devices The package includes 3 sets of Gel Eartips, charging cable, Buds Pods (10+ hours each), wireless charing case (46+ hours). Now, paring and connection have required several trial until it I got it working. The process although is standard and comment, somehow with JLab JBudd Pods in the beginning connected separately each earbud while trying with iPhone 16 Pro. Due to it from the Jlab App didn’t recognize both earbuds were connected and unable to perform software update. Within the app, it was showing either Left and the Case were connected, or Right and the Case were connected while from Bluetooth Connection was showing both connected. On the other hand, the controls on the JLab Applications didn’t work quite straight away. For instance Noise Control has four options from which one is the control the level of noise canceling if Noise Cancelling On. But all of them can be enabled for options that are contradictory from noise cancellation on / off. What I wish it worked better: 1. The connectivity to single device or multiple devices work better as can’t tell when it is connected at first attempt; 2. Controls from the APP does’t work well, as described above, the noise cancelling. 3. Multiple Connection: while using in one device like first with MacBook, then from the phone what ever incoming existing can’t switch easily making to take directly from the second device. The above list makes to the practicality and easy to use experience. However if it is listening musing or watching movie and its sound is remarkably good. The function to Volume Up/Down, Switch EQ by the action tap on earbud works well. But for switching between device and using for call and using its app feels a bit off. But once connected and usage of single purpose works well.

I own a decent number of true wireless in-earbuds from JLab and these are among the latest. The obvious paralleles to airpods will be obvious, except the price point. $60 for a pair of long lasting, noise cancelling ear pods is nothing to sneeze at. These can fit into tiny pockets and be brough with you and work right as you open and connect them. No hassel, no overthinking. Just put them in and listen to whatever you want. It's that easy. Sure, sound quality does not blow you out of the water, but they do what they need to and that's enough for me.

Spatial sound could better, excellent sound quality

They were easy to get connected to device but they dont fit well in my ears ,sound is great and stay charged a long time

I’ve been using the JLab JBuds ANC Pods in black for a bit now, and for the price, they actually hold up better than expected—especially if you’re someone who values solid ANC and a comfortable, low-profile design. Right out of the box, the carry case is compact and clean, with a built-in USB charging cable tucked underneath, which I actually appreciate when I don’t want to go digging around for a separate cable. It charges via USB-C too, so it’s modern and convenient. Battery life is more than decent. I was getting around 8 hours on a full charge with ANC off, and just under that with it on. The case adds a couple more charges, so I rarely found myself running low. I’ve used them throughout the day—Zoom calls, music sessions, even while running errands—and battery anxiety wasn’t a thing. As for sound quality, it's good for casual listening. Mids are balanced, the low-end gives just enough thump, and vocals come through clearly. That said, things can get a bit sharp at higher volumes. It's not a deal-breaker, but I found myself keeping the volume a couple clicks lower than max to avoid fatigue. Thankfully, there's an onboard EQ built into the touch controls—three modes you can cycle through without needing an app: JLab Signature, Balanced, and Bass Boost. I stuck with the Balanced mode most of the time. Fit was tricky at first. The default medium tips kept slipping out during walks, but once I switched to the smaller ear tips, they stayed locked in way better. Once you get the fit right, the ANC kicks in impressively well. It does a solid job at knocking out most ambient noise—AC hum, street sounds, even background chatter at the coffee shop. For something in this price range, the noise cancellation surprised me in the best way. There’s also a Be Aware mode that uses the external mics to let in outside sound, which came in handy when I was walking around downtown or waiting for my name at a cafe. It doesn’t sound too artificial or hissy like some other budget earbuds I’ve tried. One small thing I wish they included is auto play/pause when you remove an earbud. That feature’s missing here, so your music or podcast keeps playing even if you pop one out to talk to someone. But on the bright side, you can use either earbud independently, which is great for calls or just keeping one ear free while multitasking. Overall, the JBuds ANC Pods deliver on value. They’re not tuned for audiophiles, but they sound solid, the ANC is better than expected, and the case is sleek and pocketable. If you’re after everyday earbuds that can block out noise, give you control over your sound, and last through the day, these are easy to recommend—just swap the tips to find the right fit, and you’re good to go.

Really good so far. I really like the hybrid noise cancelling. My only issue with it is that there is a small delay of the music. Like a 0.7 second delay.

These are a decent set of earbuds if you are looking for something simple to toss in your bag and take with you. These aren't crazy bass heavy or over the top exciting in terms of listening to music but more so good for the price point. Sound is very clear and the app has a few preset EQ to choose from or a custom setting if you are using them for music. I appreciate the ability to use the app and flip between the different ANC options. These also offer spatial audio which is a nice addition. The app makes it easy to make changed quickly but it does seem to take a little bit to download and update when there is a firmware change. These charge quickly and hold a charge pretty well. I like the option to wirelessly charge as well as this coming with a cord. I can easily charge these in my vehicle on the go with the included cord. I like the small size of the case they come in and the included ear gels. They are pretty comfortable and on the smaller side which I personally prefer. They fit securely in the charging case. Sound is decent for music and podcasts. I haven't used them for watching movies yet but they do just fine with scrolling social media too. Solid offering for the price point.

First off, the ANC on these is isn't quite up to the litmus test of..."The Bathroom Exhaust Fan". As such I would use them on my daily walks with the ANC on as I was still quite aware of my surroundings, e.g., traffic noise. The ANC will quiet the sound of a regular fan at a low to medium speed in my main listening room while I listen to music via the JLabs. In other words, different horses for different courses and for a handicapped senior such as myself who takes daily walks and uses IEMs (In Ear Monitors) for taking and receiving phone calls and listening to low level music? These are great! It is important to be aware of what is going on around you and the relatively low amount of noise reduction works well enough to take the edge of background noise all while allowing you to listen to music and take calls during your walks. The JLab's JBuds easily paired to my iPhone 16 Pro Max and their touch controls were easy to use to turn on/off ANC as well as for adjusting the volume, skipping songs and taking calls! In the real world, this is all one can ask of a genuine work horse of a product and that is what JLab's JBuds are! They are a QUALITY made, AFFORDABLE workhorse that does the job they were designed for! The carrying case (which when charged will also recharge the units should you need to do son when on the go!) is small and upon initially receiving them I charged it and the IEMs (by placing them within the case) overnight while I slept. The supplied USB-C cable is rather short but that wasn't a problm for me and I also charged them using a portable powerbank with USB-C capability! I used them throughout the day (you can even use just 1 JBud at a time if you are so inclined!) and the longest period of time I had them in continuous, uninterrupted use was just over 4 hours at a low but easily heard volume in my home while exercising in my garage gym and cleaning the house. That is the real world in which I live. I have no doubt they will last longer than that but for me that is pretty much the limit at this time in my life. The JLabs ANC JBuds were comfortable to wear and they really do reproduce music very well. Again, their ANC isn't their strong point but it is fine for general use such as I have described here, i.e., talking walks, exercising, cleaning your home, etc. They are quite the value in a comfortable and capable pair of earbuds. They are easily paired, charged and a delight in use! I have no problem recommending for someone that lives in the real world such as I.

These are actually some really great, affordable earbuds where the sound quality is solid. The noise cancellation is great while listening to music. If you are using them to block out noise with no sound, they are good. You can still hear people chatting, but their voices are more muffled than without the earbuds. Still good though. While listening to music, the sound quality and cancellation are great because you can get lost in the music without disruption. My son, who is 14, thought the bass quality could be better, but I thought it was great. Just enough bass without overpowering the sound of the song. Different age groups and different perspectives, so the bass and sound expectations are different for everyone. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the earbuds didn't stay put in my ears or my son's ears. We tried every single earbud attachment, and every so often, while wearing the earbuds, it would slip out a little. That can be quite annoying if you're walking, working out, or even while sitting. It only took a little over an hour to charge the earbuds, and if using them most of the day, it lasted about 2-3 days. The earbud quality feels long-lasting, and other than it slipping out of my ear every so often, it is comfy to wear for a few hours. I would def recommend these earbuds.

I picked these buds over paying an outrageous price to the same brand as my phone. When I opened the box everything was packaged as you would expect from a premium brand. The quick-start guide made connecting very easy. Once connected, I did jerk around and move as if I was running or working out and I did have issues with the buds coming loose. The comfort pads they come with are one size and I felt you have to push them in well to keep them in. The pros are if I am taking a meeting on my phone they are a great alternative however I would not recommend these if you are working out. They also are charged by my earbud charger that I have but never used. Another thing I noticed is that I can’t seem to hear any difference between the sound modes with noise canceling. I honestly can’t tell when it’s on or off. Once you download the app, you do have different modes however they don’t seal well enough to your ear canal to tell a difference, or at least my ear canals. The app also lets you adjust the EQ however without the good seal in the canal, the bass/treble seems to have little to no difference when adjusting. Overall, I think they are a good alternative to taking calls/meetings however if you are looking for workout buds or high quality sound I would look elsewhere.
