JLab Audio - Go Air True Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Black

The JLab GoAir headphones are my first pair of JLabs and I'm pretty impressed with them. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find another pair of wireless headphones in this price range that offer this many features. Unboxing the GoAir headphones is pretty standard. Inside the box, you'll find the charging/ storage case, headphones themselves, and large and small gel (silicone) cushion tips. The medium tips are already attached. Build quality is good with attention given to important components. Almost everything is plastic, but two magnets were used instead of one to keep the headphones inside the charging case during charging and storage. I was concerned that an open case design would be a bit risky, but I can confirm the two magnets are STRONG and you have to try aggressively to get the headphones to pop out of the case when you don't intentionally want them to come out. Fit-wise for me, the medium gel cushion tips work well. The shape of the earphones places the tips at a comfortable depth in my ear canals that does a pretty good job of noise isolation. ANC is not a feature these headphones have, but I wouldn't expect it at this price point. Features on the headphones themselves are impressive. JLab claims 5 hours of playtime on each earbud and an additional 15 hours of playtime with the charging case that has a built-in USB charging cable. That's a nice feature that eliminates one additional charging cord you might have to carry around with you. The earbuds are rocking Bluetooth 5.0, which creates a super strong connection with your phone or other Bluetooth device. I haven't noticed any lag with video audio on my iPhone 8+. Touch controls on the buds are responsive and allow you to change volume, track, EQ settings, play/ pause music, and access Google/ Siri. Sound quality is definitely better than I expected at this price point. While JLab's novel feature is custom EQ3 sound (basically you can change between signature, balanced, or bass boosted sound with 3 taps on either earbud), I find myself only using JLab's signature mode. To me, the balanced mode seems too bland and the bass boost makes the bass feel too synthetic. The signature mode strikes the right middle ground, but again that's very subjective and just my take. One other little gripe I have about these headphones is volume. I find myself listening at 80-90% volume and that is not ear-piercingly loud. You need that much volume just to get to normal jamming volume. Not a deal-breaker, but definitely causes battery life to take a hit. Overall, if you want some quality, super portable earbuds that you wouldn't cry over losing because hundreds of dollars went down the drain, I would absolutely recommend you pick these up.

These are nice little wireless earbuds. I will also say that I never use earbuds since they never stay in my ears. These fit perfectly and stay in place extremely well. These do come with different sized tips for different fits. Both the earbuds and the charging case seem to be constructed well and feel like a nice quality product. These are very easy to pair and connect very well every time. The instructions are simple. It takes a little to remember the touch operations, but once you do, it becomes more fluid. The touch controls are responsive and placed perfectly for ease of use without having to think about it much. The sound could be a bit more full all around, but for the price point is not bad. There are 3 preset equalizer options to help accessible via touch option on the earbuds. Some neat features are the ability to dual connect so you can use one or both earbuds at a time, utilizing smart assistants with apple (siri) and android. These have a 2 year warranty, are sweat resistant, and come with a nice charging case. It would be nice if it came with a USB wall plug adapter, though. Battery life is good. It is pretty close to the 5 hour life for the buds. Overall, these are pretty nice earbuds at their price point. Just don't expect audio file level sound.

Recently I acquired a nice higher end set of wireless in-ear headphones. So nice, that I have been hesitant to use them while biking or doing outside yard work due to their replacement cost. When I saw these JLAB GoAir True Wireless in-ear headphones for about 1/7 the price, I was curious as to how they would perform. In addition, if by chance I did drop them or lose them outside, maybe I would not cry. Many of the features of the premium set were similar to those on the JLAB GoAir – at least in theory. Simple taps of either the right or left ear piece controls volume, music tracks, sound equalization, phone functions, and virtual assistants. I struggled quite a bit trying all the features, as the “touch” or “tap” – especially applied in single, double, or triple applications can be quite tricky. At first I thought the features were not working correctly, until I realized it takes a “practiced” touch to make them operate as intended. That said, something like the multiple equalization settings allow you to make subtle differences in the sound output, so subtle that they are almost indistinguishable from one another. I must admit that my premium in-ear headphone controls operate much nicer. (BUT – keep in mind that they cost 7 times as much.) The packaging for the JLAB GoAir is quite acceptable, especially at this price point. The carrying case allows for remote charging and I believe holds the individual earbuds in via a magnet. The case has an integrated USB charging cord, and is quite attractive and well designed – especially considering the price. The earbuds paired quite quickly and easily to my Samsung Galaxy S9. I used them both inside around the house, as well as outside for several hours while doing yard work. After a couple of hours my ear canals started hurting a bit. Then I took a big risk for me – keep in mind that I have this fear of them falling out – I tried replacing the ear gel cushions with the smaller ones. No pain and they seemed to stay in just fine. At this price, I can face my fear of them falling out. And although I am not a fan of the control buttons, I can live with them and be very happy with the price of the headphones. I recommend them to anyone looking for a good go to set of wireless in-ear headphones. Like a nice pair of worn jeans, I think you will be happy with them.

SOUND (3/5) The sound quality does leave a fair bit to be desired.I find their "signature" setting is best, and bass boost is ok, even the best setting isn't stellar. Their "balanced" setting is trash though. Super tinny and flat sounding. Cannot recommend that setting at all. Make no mistake, you're not getting hifi buds for $30. FORM FACTOR (4/5) The buds feel nice, fit well and are small. The case is just ok, no lid, but magnets hold it in pretty well. You can shake them out, but it takes a pretty deliberate, tough shake. A lid wouldve gotten it 5/5 because everything else feels good. I also like the built in USB charger on the bottom of the case. nice to not have to find a cord. BATTERY LIFE (5/5) Pretty solid compared to many other, nicer buds. Longer than airpods and other buds that are WAY more expensive. Case and buds carry something like 22 hours. Other notes: bluetooth v5, which is good. Allows for use of one bud at a time.Touch controls work well and there's quite a bevy of stuff you can do. The things that get it up to 4 stars are the facts that they're only $30. You can't really go wrong so they make great backups if you have nicer buds. They're IP44 rated so they should stand up to sweat when working out, which is also nice considering a lot of higher end ones aren't water resistant at all. I would recommend them, just don't expect to get audiophile sound. Have these be your workout buds that you leave in your gym bag and i think you'll be satisfied.

Overall, these JLab wireless earbuds sound good but they are occasionally uncomfortable and have sensitive ‘tap’ features for volume and skipping. Start up is nice, it gives me pertinent information by saying “Hello. Bluetooth Connected. Battery Full”. The Bluetooth needs to be activated on the device first, and then the ear buds start to connect automatically once using the same device again. The ear buds automatically connected and even started up Spotify from where I left off the previous time I used the device. The Sound Quality was good. This set has 3 Equalizer Modes: JLab Signature, Balanced, and Bass Boost. I prefer the JLab Signature. This package comes with multiple earbud inserts of different sizes. Looks, Comfort, Fit: The look is sleek, white and grey. The case comes with a short USB charging cable attached. It tucks away neatly. I can’t say these earbuds are the most comfortable and they’re a little hard to fit to get used to. I used these while working out and they fell out once or twice, took me a little while to figure out the best angle to place them for my ears. When using them just to lay around and watch YouTube on my phone, my ears started to hurt after about 20 minutes. I would like to use them for longer periods of time. The “buttons” or “tap” features on the ear buds are a little sensitive. It might take a few taps before it registers to start once you’ve been using them. When watching YouTube, I wanted to use one earbud or I would take one out to hear something else, the ear buds would activate the “next” feature and it would skip to another video before I was done. I find that turning the volume up directly on my phone is simpler than tapping the ear buds, but I can see how it may be helpful if you’re far enough away from the phone that you would need to use the volume single tap feature. The battery seems to be healthy within the first week of use and it’s easy to charge with the charging cable attached on the case. The magnets seem to be strong enough to stay in the case without risk of falling out. The case does not have a cover so removal and restoring the earbuds is accessible. The earbuds and the case have a clear L and R labeling.

This is a nice versatile set of earbuds, at home and especially on the go. They are currently in use as I am writing this review. Bluetooth pairing went without a hitch and once you adjust the right size ear tips for your ears, there is a lot of natural noise cancellation. The buds come with 3 EQ settings but the JLab signature is so good that I don't even bother with the others. I wish this EQ setting was configured to all my other headphones. Maybe you can tinker with EQ settings yourself, but out of the box I love this setting for all my music genres with no need for me to personally adjust it any further. Tapping and holding the ends of the buds to select settings and functions works extremely well. Not perfect (never had a pair that senses all presses 100% of the time) but the best I've used so far. Calls are clear and you can use both as a pair or a single bud. I use these for work with a single bud and both for music and other media. They are comfortable for me, but ergonomics will depend on the individual. Charging is easy and doesn't take too long. The only thing I wish it had was an overall louder volume ceiling. The pair is not low sounding at all, I just wish it was a tad more loud. This is an overall great set of buds. With the JLab EQ setting particularly standing out.

First off I will tell you these are the best earbuds I've ever used. They have an awesome compact magnetic storage rechargeable base that's easy to store or carry around with you. A lot of earbuds tend to be uncomfortable, but these fit perfectly in my ear and had no problem wearing them for over 3 hours. One of the biggest things that are the most disappointing is the sound quality in most earbuds. These by far have the best sound quality. They have 3 equalizer settings you can choose from, I prefer the one with the most base. but the sound quality is clear and balanced with no distortion in all settings. If you've had trouble finding the right earbuds in the past, look no further. I highly recommend giving these a shot. You won't be disappointed!
