JLab - JBuds Frames Wireless Audio for Your Glasses - Black

Great set to listening tool while still having your ears free and open, fits my RayBan's well - best to use for thick frames. I cannot use with eyeglass frames/arms that are slim/thin because the JBuds will slide along your temples. Also, can a slight bit of weight to your glasses so if you are sensitive to pressure on your nose bridge, might be an issue. I'd still try them out. I like to have my ears open to since I have 2 younger children that I have the ability to hear them call me/open environment for my ears and still able to listen to audio books or music.

Perfect for hearing aid users or cochlear users I myself use a cochlear and this is literally the perfect product it works so well if you position it correctly it's got really good sound

Sound quality is good, it's very easy to set up, and you can still talk with people while listening to music. My only issue is the clips to attach to the glasses. They're a hard plastic that feels like it doesn't grip well into the frames (my frames are the thick plastic kind.) They seem to stay fine once i get them there, but it feels like the smells bump could send them flying. Perhaps consider a firm but flexible rubber that you slide you glasses through? If your frames aren't thick like mine then it'll be perfect.

I loved the idea of these Buds. I wear glasses all day, everyday, and the thought of having buds snap on to my glasses sounded great. I have tried some other buds that looped around your ear and rested just outside of your ear, but the loops would feel uncomfortable when it got sandwiched between my glasses and ears. This sounded like a great compromise. Let me start off with the disclaimer that obviously everyone’s experience might be different from mine, this is just what I took away after using these for a couple of days. First, the fit and build. These are well built, feel solid, have some nice accessories. They have little grips you can slide on to the buds to make them grip onto your glasses frames a little more secure. I did not need the grips for them to fit on my frames. After using these for about half an hour around the house, I noticed one thing almost immediately; it felt like it was causing my glasses to slide down my nose more. As I was doing chores and moving around my home, I kept feeling like my glasses were going to slide off my face. This sensation of dropping my glasses persisted as I continued using the buds. I am guessing the only way to avoid this is to perhaps purchase one of those glasses lanyards that attach to the ends of your glasses and secure them around your head. I wouldn’t use one of these lanyards but perhaps these buds would feel a little better if you already use one. Secondly, sound quality was not quite what I expected. I have a variety of headphones, and earbuds and normally I keep my music volume between 25 - 50% depending on the genre, my environment, and wether I am using ANC on some of the headphones. With these buds I had to crank the volume up to around 75% in order to hear the music clearly. Listening to podcasts or audiobooks was a little difficult as well since the volume doesn’t get very high. Now, I understand that these are not in your ears and the speaker is hanging off of your glasses and pointing at your ear, but still I would have thought the volume and sound quality would be a little better. I really liked the concept of these buds, and for some these might be a great pair of buds. Maybe their second generation version will have better sound/volume and won’t weigh the glasses down so much. I would cautiously recommend these, the concept it great, as long as they don’t weigh your glasses down and you are okay with a lower than expected volume from the buds. For the price, it is worth a shot.

Cool item that came with a charger, carry bag and rubber booties for the metal piece that hooks to the glasses. Gave it 4 stars because the volume is not very loud, no button to adjust volume. Sound is very clear and is a cool item to say the less. Just not for me. I have purchase other wireless items from JLab and they all work well, just depends on what you are using them for. All great items!

Lab Frames is a great alternative to high end open-ear audio without the need of purchase prescription glasses or limited to frames. Concept of clipping the ear buds to the existing glasses (sunglass or prescription glasses) at an affordable price. What’s in the box: 2 Bluetooth modules labelled L/R that clips to the frame, carrying pouch with string, 4 small silicone sleeves, user manual, proprietary dual magnetic USB cable. Setup is fairly easy. Just turn on both the modules, press and hold buttons for few seconds at once, and you will hear a voice prompt that its ready to pair. Just open the phone Bluetooth settings to connect to JLab JBuds Frames. Solid lights will indicate the successful pairing status. Each module can be operated individually also. There is only one physical multipurpose button on each module that functions as power on/off, volume down, voice assistant features, changing tracks and for answer phone calls. Design of JBuds Frames is good and doesn’t need you to purchase separate frames. The 16mm dynamic drivers face backwards and is angled towards the ear and the microphones and magnetic charging ports on the side. Left button with single press decreases the volume and right button with single press increases the volume. Double press the button on the left module activates the SIRI or Ok Google and whereas Play/Pause on right button. If you need to skip tracks backward to the music, then press and hold 1 sec on left side and for forward track same with right side. To answer the calls, you will just single press the button on right side and to hang up double press. To reject incoming calls, press and hold right button. To power off, press and hold either buttons for few seconds until you hear good bye voice. Triple press on both buttons will change EQ settings like Bass boost. Attaching and removing to the frames is easy and if the frames are very thin, you would need to attach the included sleeves for a comfort fit. Sound quality wasn’t so bad. Don’t expect great bass. Initially, music sounded little low until the modules are pushed closer to the ears. Only issue is you can’t wear them in crowds on high volume as the people around you will hear the music. Its great for indoors, where you want to hear your notifications or to music without having to plug your ears with earbuds. Call quality is great at indoors. Microphone works well and the opposite end caller was able to hear loud and clear with little distortion. Not tested on taking calls on a crowded outdoor environment yet. Battery life is advertised to last 8 hours per charge for each module. If you are travelling, you would need the included USB cable to recharge the devices as it attaches magnetically and doesn’t support other USB cables. + Battery life + Easy clip on to existing frames + Affordable - Not compatible with thicker frames -Proprietary short charging cable Overall, great concept of using existing frames at an affordable price if you are in the market for open-ear Bluetooth audio frames.

Putting them on my glasses and shades are easy. However if you have frames with really skinny arms (the part that goes around your ear) then there are small plastic/rubber pieces that you will need to use for gripping purposes. Setup was easy. Just pair with Bluetooth. Very cool feature, you can use and pair only one at a time if you don’t want to use both. The sound is sub par but enough. At 100% volume other people can hear the sound ok and you can hear the music and or others when talking. I prefer not have in ear headphones when around other people so that I can hear others and stay aware.

--- Installation--- The JLAB bud frames are easy to install on most pairs of glasses. They are also relatively simple to pair with a phone. They come with some charge, but you can fully charge them with the included charging cable. --- FEATURES --- These JBud frames have a 16mm driver, 8 hours of battery life, and multifunction buttons. They will attach to most pairs of glasses and work with voice assistance from your phone. --- PERFORMANCE --- In quiet environments, these little speakers work great to give you personal sound. I was able to enjoy my streaming shows while my wife was in the same room without bothering her. I do enjoy putting them on before bedtime and just listening to a podcast, music, or watching youtube knowing I am not disturbing my wife who sometimes sleeps before I do. However, I took these to a mall and it was so noisy that I couldn’t hear the audio from the speakers clearly. I also paired them with Zoom to see if I could avoid wearing headphones or earbuds. Though people could hear me loud and clear on their end, I couldn’t hear them for some reason even though I checked my Zoom settings to ensure that I had selected the JBuds as the speakers. --- EXPECTATIONS --- This product has potential, but ultimately, it will only be useful to you if you plan on listening to them in a quiet environment. That’s exactly when I find them the most useful. The frames are promoted as a snug fit for thin and thick temples. However, when I install mine on my glasses, they don’t go all the way down. It feels as if the clip will either break or the buds will pop off at an inopportune time. To be clear, they never did fall off, but they also never felt secured. For thinner frames, small plastic sleeves are included to help with grip. --- VALUE --- For the price, it’s a great entry point to making your glasses into “smart glasses,” but know that it does have quite a few limitations. --- APPROVAL --- I recommend these JBuds to people who plan to use them in a quiet environment such as a library or a study hall and don’t want to be wearing headphones or earbuds.
