best among a lot
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.So here I am. Since Aug-2019, I am trying good earbuds under $50. I don’t wanna spend a fortune for apple earpods. I have used like 10-12 earbuds ( JBL 120, Free, those Chinese ones, even Jabra), but hands down, this is I found best so far that too under 50 bucks. I got it at $30 in BF sale. Cons I did not find so far, Pros 1- Fits good if not perfect. You need to change the tip, large fits me 2- Sound-wise, select the JLAB signature. It's best. You can change the setting by clicking 3 times on any earbuds. The bass mode in JBL is still best though 3- Though buds are a bit hard to press, but it works every time unline somewhere you don’t even know what you are doing 4- Battery, woohoo, what I tell about it – I am using it for 1 month and the battery still says “high”. Use time – 10-20 mins per day average 5- Every time it says, ‘connected’, battery status unlike big brand I can go on and on. In short, BEST among a lot also, Download manual from the JBL site. the best buy has outdated

Truly Wireless with Charging Case, Under $50!!
||Posted .Owned for 1 year when reviewed.Truly Wireless Earbuds! Been using over a year & they are still going strong! Great sound, bought these for our teenage son initially and he loved them. We’ve bought so many different types of earbuds over the years & must say these are probably the best wireless earbuds we’ve found for under $50! You simply cannot beat this price point for true wireless earbuds with EQ & charging case. Teen son uses used daily & liked because stayed in place. He has since upgraded his device, he’s a gamer. I’ve been using these for over a year now so I can confirm earbuds stay in place & no issues with buds getting loose or falling out, even after wearing few hours. Earbuds appear a little bulky but for under $50, these are the best wireless buds. Yes they are plastic but that is also what makes them so durable. Buds stay firmly in place when worn with included Cush Fins. JLab provides 2 pairs to combine with 3 varying ear tip sizes to create the perfect individual fit for 99% of users. Earbuds are IP55-certified so can withstand sweat or a minor spill, just don’t submerge them. Features include Bluetooth 5.0, 8mm drivers, Auto on & Auto Connect, Earbud Controls…There are 3 EQ settings without needing software or app. Only one minor drawback some users will have is batteries only last 3-4 hours before needing to recharge. However you can wear 1 bud while other charging so you can still use earbuds. Personally I rarely wear that long at one time so while it’s not a drawback for myself, I felt I should include info in my review. Granted you can balance this drawback with the 500 mAh charging case that comes with Earbuds. The charging case is really small, easy to pocket, and the integrated charging solution is handy. So you get about 10 hours extra battery life with case! Sound is well balanced. Noise isolation is pretty good as well. These aren’t noise cancelling, but turning up the volume at a reasonable level & you are isolated fairly well. Overall, for the price point, you cannot go wrong with these earbuds. The JBuds Air are simply the best sounding true-wireless headphones I’ve used at this price point! There are more expensive true-wireless headphones that sound a bit better, but they’re also four or five more times expensive. Quick Info: Adjust volume down: Left bud 1 click Adjust volume up: Right bud 1 click Track back: Left bud press and hold for 1 sec Track forward: Right bud press and hold for 1 sec Play/Pause: Left bud 2 clicks Siri/Google Assistant: Right bud 2 clicks EQ Settings: Left or right bud 3 clicks will cycle through 3 presets. Buy these, you won’t be disappointed for the money you invest.

Fantastic alternative to Airpods.
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Tl;dr: The Jbuds are a must buy if you're looking for an affordable alternative to Apple Airpods while still maintaining good sound quality. They are comfortable/secure in the ear, and possess a decent charge time/battery life. My only nitpick when it comes to these earbuds is the button function inputs - it took a while for me to learn, and even then I find it easier to use my phone to pause/skip songs than the buds's buttons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Price: This is the Jbuds' biggest draw. Most of its competitors go for $100+ retail, but the Jbuds are sold for a fair $50. Heck, I was lucky enough to nab it for $30 during Best Buy's Black Friday sale week. It's an absolute steal and a great investment. Sound: While nothing worthy of praise, the Jbuds' sound quality is slightly better than the pair of headphones that likely came packaged with your smartphone. There are 3 equalizer options to cycle through - Balanced, Bass Boost, and JLab Signature. I found Balanced to be the worst of the three, it made most of my music sound washed out, however Bass Boost & Signature really brought out the best in my music library. Genre of music definitely matters when picking an equalizer, so you'll have to play around to match your preferences. Comfort: This comes packaged with 3 ear rubber ear tips of varying sizes and 2 rubber cushions to make it more comfortable and fitting in your ear. They remain in my ear while I workout and I do not feel any discomfort during the 2 hours I have them on each session. The only nitpick one may have with these is that they might be clunky to some people. Battery Life: Thankfully, these come with a pill shaped charging case that can juice your earbuds for 14 hours on full charge. The earbuds themselves last around 4 hours of consistent use, and since you have to pop them back in the case, they're almost always at full charge. So essentially, I've only had to charge the case once a week on average. Accessibility: Pairing the earbuds to your phone is a piece of cake. However, the button functions can take a while to get used to. For example, to play or pause a song, you need to double click the button on the LEFT earbud. If you do it on the right earbud, it activates Siri on an iPhone. While double clicking a button on a typical headphone would probably skip the song. It's a minor nitpick not a flaw, so don't let that discourage you from this product.

Adequate for the price
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I purchased these as an inexpensive Apple alternative for my iPhone 8. Pairing was easy and sound quality is great—for listening to music etc. They are sweat resistant as I use these for workouts. Case is chargeable and magnetically holds buds. Two drawbacks if you don’t position properly in your ears callers will have difficulty hearing you. Also right earbud is master. You can’t charge the right and listen on the left. If right bud is in case left one does not operate. But they can work independently. Also if using in bed in a dark room at night the blue tooth light on the buds are very bright.

Great product!
||Posted .I’ve had these for about two months and I haven’t had a single problem with these. The only thing that I would point out is that after a few hours of wearing them, they can begin to become kind of uncomfortable. But this problem happens across virtually all earbuds so I wouldn’t worry about it much.

Q: QuestionMy jlabs jbuds air are not linking with eachother . when paired with my phone only one ear piece pairs...
Asked by Valenzuela.
- A:Answer Here’s what you do. Hold the left button down for 3 seconds, right button down for 3 seconds. Once they’re both flashing blue/white and connecting to your phone as two different devices, you then forget the Bluetooth device to both of them. Then, find the nearest river/lake/swamp and use them and the charging case in a rock skipping competition because I’ve tried literally everything and nothing works. The right and left chambers of US congress pair better than the right and left jlab earbuds.

Q: QuestionIs it possible to just use one?
Asked by runlikethedr.
- A:Answer You can set up which ear bud you want as the primary earbud. By factory the right ear bud will be the one to connect to your phone. Let's say you loose the Right earbud like me. And think the whole thing is now useless. BUT BEHOLD!!!! Get the left earbud and hold down the power button for about 6 seconds till it blinks blue and white. Go to Bluetooth on your phone and WALLLAAA!!! YOUR LEFT EARBUD IS NOW PRIMARY. DOWNFALL:/ NO VOLUME UP:/

Q: QuestionIf you lose only one of the earbuds, can I replace it somehow without getting a whole new earbud set?
Asked by Nat.
- A:Answer You can go to the JLab website and purchase a single replacement earbud for the right and left. You can even get a new case.

Q: QuestionShould I put the earbuds back in the case when I’m not using them or leave them out? I’m worried that it will overcharge the battery. Thanks!
Asked by Gabby87.
- A:Answer I put mine back in the case at work when I go to break and leave them in it overnight as well. The case itself is a smart charger, once they reach 100% the case will stop charging. I usually just use the right one at work and when I put it back in the case it only charges that one, not the left because it's already charged. Hope this helps
