Almost Perfect Athletic Ear Bud Headphones
|

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport wireless earbud headphones are designed for active use and clearly, a lot of thought has gone into the design.
The earbuds themselves are designed to fit snugly in the ear, with JLab providing several different sizes (seven sets of silicone gel, 1 set of cloud foam) of ear tip to get exactly the right fit. This is important for sound quality as without the right size, the sound can appear muddy and it definitely affects the audio quality if you don’t use the correct size. The buds also have an attached ear loop so they should stay in the ears, whatever activity you are doing.
I used them for some basic workouts and housework and they were very snug and at no time did I feel they would fall out or fall off. They are rated for being sweat proof which is a necessary feature on active wear headphones. You must remember to wipe them down after they get wet though, especially the charger plates or it could damage either the headphones or the charger case.
The charging case is a little bulky but works really well. It has an integrated USB charging cable (although a little short) and you can also plug your other devices into the case in if they need a supplementary charge. Once the case is charged up, it provides power to the headphones and an external device without having to be plugged in – you just need that to charge the case up now and again. The case has integrated LED lights to show how much charge it has which is useful. The headphones themselves will talk and tell you how much charge they have left. Magnets help you orient the ear buds correctly in the case for storage and charging.
The audio quality of the ear buds is mostly good. There are some great features built in which let you do almost everything by tapping either the left or right ear bud, between 1 and 3 times. It takes a bit of learning but once you figure it out, it is a lot more convenient than reaching for your device all the time. Examples include tapping the left earpiece 3 times, to change the EQ (3 preset choices) or the right ear piece 3 times to turn on “Be aware audio” – this allows ambient sound to come into the ear buds which is useful in situations where ambient sound would be useful – running near traffic for example. It gives you the option to turn off this feature if you’re in a safe situation like working out in a gym (you experience slightly better audio with it off).
The 3 preset EQ settings are balanced, bass boost and JLab Signature. Of the three, I preferred JLab Signature. Balanced (no enhancements, even sound) and bass boost (amplified bass and sub-bass) seemed quiet and I had to boost up the volume to get it to a good level, whereas with JLab Signature (amplified bass and vocals), I could bring the volume down a little and get a good blend of vocals, bass and less overall distortion.
The bass was probably the least impressive part of the audio on these ear buds and I felt they needed more of a bass boost. Treble was good and vocals & mid-range were good also. As running headphones, I felt they were good but there are better sounding athletic headphones out there. That said, my other athletic headphones I own have better audio but they are far more likely to fall out of my ears and they are not wireless, so I feel there are trade-offs to be made on any set.
I still feel these are very good athletic headphones and other than the lack of bass response, I can’t find anything else to fault them on. The Bluetooth pairing was one of the easiest and quickest I have experienced and they stay connected with no drop-outs that I have noticed. The charging case is excellent and is a great way to both organize and charge the ear buds so they are ready to go when you next work out.

Best design for working out

SUMMARY
If you’re looking to break a sweat alongside your favorite tunes, At the gym. Or the mountain, the track – wherever you get your workouts these headphones are designed just for that, with wing design that securely keep them in place and long battery life.
THE GOOD:
Adjustable EQ
Excellent battery life 70 hour w/ case
IP66 Sweatproof and dust resistant
Can play one ear bud at a time (left side only for music)
Great sound
Good fit
THE BAD:
Charging case on the big side
Not a very sleek design
Limited EQ options
Bass Boost is lacking compared to others
Epic Air Sport has many ear tip options are included. Inside a flip-out section of the box are seven different choices: Four sizes of silicone ear tips, a pair of double-layered ear tips, triple-layered ear tips, and foam ear tips. I preferred the standard silicone in most instances, but the foam was nice in particularly noisy settings. You will have no trouble finding a great fit.
Pairing is a easy process, which is something that can't be said for others. Power up, you hold down the power button on both earphones for a few seconds. Then you pair one earpiece with your mobile device, and the other with the now-paired first earpiece, and you're set. The status LEDs blink rapidly or slowly during this process to guide you and let you know when both earpieces are ready.
Sound is really good and the fact that you have 3 EQ options (although I wish there were more custom options) make this even better but Jlab siganture EQ is the best while the Bass option is not as good as other headphones I have.
Call quality is good as well. I should also mention that Bluetooth range is excellent too, main Bluetooth antenna seems to be on the right side so will have to have your phone on that side if you don’t want any cut off’s (I wish manufactors would have the anttenna on both sides)
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Epic Air earphones deliver a strong sound signature that is typical of workout-focused in-ear pairs: but with enough definition in the high-mids and highs to keep a semblance of balance. The sound will motivate your workouts. You're looking at a solid option. And of the true wireless designs we've tested, the JLab manages to have the most useful controls and best charging case at a comparatively reasonable price. But some option from Apple are hard to beat and offer deeper Bass plus price tag:)
I really do like these and if I didn’t own others in higher categories, these would have been my daily drivers. The features like built in USB cable for case, battery life and great overall performance does put this above some others.

Excellent Workout Buds

I’ve had a chance to try out the new JLab Epic Air Sport Wireless Earbuds for about a week and a half. This is a truly wireless setup from JLab that is focused towards active/sport users. So far I have really enjoyed using the earbuds. They have a lot of things going for them and only a few marks against.
Features
The JLabs feature an over the ear hook design popular with fitness related earbuds. Also helping with that fitness angle is the IP 66 rating (not submersible but a high enough rating for sweat tolerance). The ear hook is a fixed part of bud that carries the Bluetooth antenna. The packaging/manual warns you to not sharply bend the hook because of this. The buds come with multiple foam/rubber tips for you to choose from (more on that below).
The buds come loaded with Bluetooth 5 and a rated range of 30+ feet. In one of my gyms (a really large open room for training) I was able to stay connected over 50 ft away, but I was the only one in the gym so there wasn’t a lot of interference to deal with. In my regular (busier) gym I easily maintained connection at 30ft.
Battery life of the buds is excellent. I charged them up when I first got them and haven’t had to do it since. The buds themselves hold a 10+ hour charge – enough for a whole workday. The case packs another 60+ hours. Right now I probably have close to 20 hours using the buds and I’m still at 75% (3/4 lights on the charge case) charge left. At this rate I probably only need to charge it once a month.
Speaking of the case it has a couple of nifty features that I have not seen from any other company. The case is a little bulkier than most. Some of that is due to accommodating the ear hooks inside but also the large internal battery. The case comes with an integrated standard USB plug for charging – no USB C, but its not needed in this instance. Also eliminates the need for an additional cable to charge it. There’s also a USB port on the side that allows you to use the cases 2600mAh battery as a power bank for other devices. That makes these buds an awesome backpacking/camping buddy where you might need some extra juice for your phone. The case doesn’t carry as high of an IP rating as the buds but still has an IP 55 rating (dust and water spray resistant).
Pairing was very straightforward (I’m on Android). Followed the directions and I was up and running in no time. Each time after I just remove them from the case and they auto pair within 5 seconds. When I’m done with them I wipe the sweat off the buds, and drop them both into their respective spots in the case (a magnet pulls them into the correct alignment and holds them in place), and they auto shut off the BT connection.
Fit/Comfort
I found the buds to be very comfortable. The ear hooks helped support the weight of the buds, so that takes the pressure off your ear canal. Theres 7 differents ear tips to choose from. I picked the foam ones because they provided me the best/most comfortable fit while isolating out some noise.
I never had an issue with keeping the buds in. I’ve ran, rowed, lifted, etc without issue. When using the touch controls the hooks help stabilize the bud so you don’t push it out of your ear. The foam tips provide me the most comfort, but I do have trouble sometimes getting a good seal which impacts sound.
Controls
The touch controls, to me, are a bit wonky. A week and a half in and I’m still getting used to them. 1 touch for volume/answer, 2 to pause/hang up, 3 for Be Aware, press and hold to skip/reject call. And that’s for the right bud. The left bud is similar but has no call controls. This has ramifications if you just want to use 1 bud instead of both. It has to be the right bud.
Sound
Sound out of the buds is not too bad. Make sure you pick the correct EQ for your music, and its not necessarily a one-size fits all. For podcasts I leave it on balanced because talking doesn’t need any enhancements. For most of my music I use the bass boost setting. I like my music with a punchy, noticeable beat. The Signature EQ is a lot brighter (and louder) than the Bass EQ. Depending on the type of music I float between the 2 EQ’s, but I mainly stay on the bass one. The buds don’t have a ton of power for bass, so keeping a good seal with the bud tips is important. I wasn’t always able to get a good seal, so sometimes my music would feel too quiet and the bass too muted. So make sure you try out all the ear tips to make sure you get a comfortable fit and good seal.
Calls worked out pretty well. I actually changed my EQ to the balance one for calls and that was nice. Audio never cut out or sounded tinny, and my voice came through pretty well on their end. I used the buds to take calls in the gym as well. They didn’t pick up a ton of background noise so the other party could still hear me well
Overall
I really like these buds a lot. For the price tag they pack a lot of features into them. The case design is quite novel to me, so that is winning me over. The sound is average, maybe a little better than average. If these were in the price range of the Powerbeats Pro then I would be a little disappointed by the sound but these are a hundred bucks less, and the gap in sound quality is nowhere near worth that much. These have been my daily drivers at the gym and around my house, and I’m perfectly happy with them.

True Wireless Earbuds and So Much More
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport True Wireless Earbud headphones caught me by surprise on how versatile the case is and how great music sounds for a wireless connection. The Audio Epic Air Earbuds were impressively packaged. I had to go through several layers of material to get to the Earbuds. Usually when a company takes this much time on packing, it is a worthwhile product. I was not disappointed. The case is really useful for more than just the earbuds charging.
• The Jlab Audio Epic Air Wireless earbuds come with an insert that is easy to read. The pictures show how to set up the earbuds and directions on how to use the controls. These directions are spot on and put you on your way to setting up the earbuds.
• The Epic Air Sport Wireless earbuds have around 10 hrs of usage. I have only had to charge them once and it took 4.5 hrs to charge plugged in to the USB charger. With the earbuds in the case it adds an additional 60 hrs of recharging! One of the unique features is the slimdown USB to charge the case. It fits nicely underneath and conforms to the case. Just pull the USB cable out when you need a charge. It is a little short but that is minor. The earbuds in the case fit fast with a magnetic pull. Blue lights on the case show how much the earbuds are charging. Be sure that earbuds are dry so as not to damage the case. If you just want to charge the case, 4 white lights shine to show how much it is being charged. You can charge just about any device that has a USB connection from the case. I used my smart phone and the case charged it from 47% to 90% in a matter of a little over an hour.
• When you first try to connect the earbuds to each other, hold down the button on the left and button on the right located on each ear piece. It should connect really quickly (I had no trouble at all). Then turn on your Bluetooth connection to sync the earbuds with your phone or other Bluetooth device. I synced it to my smart phone. It established a Bluetooth connection, again, really quickly. I had no problems at all listening to music that was already on my smart phone.
• Controls are as follows:
Left earbud
Single tap: Volume down
Double Tap: Google Assistant
Press 1 sec and Hold: Track back
Triple Tap: EQ mode
Right Earbud
Single tap: Volume up
Double Tap: Play/Pause
Press 1 sec and Hold: Track forward
Triple Tap: Be Aware mode
The Google Assistant voice prompts are as follows: Hello (power on), Earbuds joined (earbuds joined to each other), Ready to pair (with a Bluetooth device), Bluetooth connected (the earbuds are connected to Bluetooth source) and battery life consisting of full 80%-100%, medium 80%-20%, low 10% and goodbye 0%.
The EQ will cycle through 3 listening modes: Jlab signature sound, Balanced sound and Bass boost sound. I tried all 3 and for my ears the Jlab signature sound came into my ear with clear vocals and bass to match. You can control these without an app!
The Be Aware mode when activated, will still allow the music to be heard along with the outside noise. When it is off, you get to hear more music. This is nice if you want to talk to a friend at the gym or if you run outside.
When receiving a phone call the rightside earbud will have the controls you need.
If you want to answer the call, tap the earbud once. If you want to hang up, tap the earbud twice. Lastly if you want to reject the call, press and hold earbud for 2 seconds.
This is a really cool feature and I didn’t have any trouble with the phone calls. They sounded excellent on both ends.
It may sound a little confusing at first, but I learned fast how the controls were actually pretty intuitive.
• The fit was comfortable and only had to move the earbud hook in a backward motion around the ear. You need to be careful though because the Bluetooth antenna is located in the hook. As I just said, no issues there at all for me. Along with the fit around the ear, Jlab included 8 sets for earbud comfort. You will have no trouble finding the correct inner ear bud with these sets! The set that came on the earbuds worked great for me.
• One of the exercises I did while wearing the earbuds was washing and waxing my car. This activity created a lot of motion up, down, sideways and any other movements. The Jlab Epic Air earbuds never moved and was comfortable throughout my activity. The earbuds are also sweat proof. Just remember to clean them before they go back in the case.
The JLab Audio Epic Air Sport True Wireless Earbud Headphones are the real deal. They fit my ears well and sounded great with the EQ. The case is as just as amazing with all of the charging you can use it for. If you are looking for some true wireless earbuds, be sure you put these JLab wireless earbuds on you list. I think you will be surprised how much technology they pack into the earbuds and case.

Better than expected truly wireless headphones

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I was surprised at how good these headsets were given they came out from the hyped competitor from Apple/Beats, the PowerBeats Pro. Beats spent a lot of time hyping their headsets as the first truly wireless headsets but these Jlab earbuds are impressive in many of the same ways.
The case itself is impressive and interactive, showing how much each headphone is charged with 4 leds in front as well as the total charge for the case. The headsets also have good battery life per ear, roughly 3 hours just slightly less than the PowerBeats Pro. The headsets are smart and only need to be turned on once with the little button near the earbud, after that they will go passive/sleep/charge but instantly wake up and connect to your phone when you remove them from the case.
Apple's H1 and the PowerBeats do shine here in comparison as they have a small light sensor that is more interactively intelligent than these JLab Epic Air Sports.
The case on both of these are monstrous but that's because they build in a lot of extra battery charge and also need to hold both earpods with the wrap around ear guards. My wife has the AirPods and they are definitely more portable with a tiny case that is easily pocketable. The PowerBeats case is at least 4x larger and the Jlab Epic is about 4.5x larger still so definitely not really pocketable.
In terms of sound these Jlab Epics are just as good as the PowerBeats Pro in my opinion. I think anyone would be happy with these overall, but the touch controls on the Jlab are discrete per earphone while the Beats are the same for both earpieces.
That brings me to the last area the Beats have a big advantage, they are truly ambidextrous in a single ear and can be used one or the other while these Jlab will only allow you to use the right earbud by itself, the left earbud will not work at all by itself.
Overall very happy with these headphones, but beware the differences for the price!!!

These headphones look and feel sleek. They are perfect for high activity.
The case is a little bigger than I’d like but it fit in most places to store when not in use.
They are a decent fit around my ear but my ear gets sore after wearing them too long. 1.5hrs or more. Cool thing is I take the ear buds out my ear and let them hang, I can still hear the music but I’m giving my inner ear a break. The battery last long. Charging is interesting. USB based. Not as easy to charge in my car. Overall I like these little guys.

The best true wireless earbuds. Period

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I wouldn't highly recommend most jlab headphones as I'm pretty picky, but these are easily the best true wireless earbuds I've ever tried.
So I had the epic air elites (previous version) for around a year and absolutely loved them! I was pleasantly surprised when I upgraded to these and they are even better!
Cons: case is pretty big and doesn't fit comfortably in your pocket. Also there's no noise canceling.
Pros: there's a lot! First off, the battery life. These things last FOREVER! I generally use them about 3 hours a day and I probably charge the case about once a month. The earbuds themselves also last around 10 hours.
The sound quality is very good, sounding similar to the powerbeats pro, and will get very loud.
Pass through audio is pretty good, you can't really have a conversation through it but you can hear sounds like a car when running.
They are very comfortable. They come with a ton of different tips and I can easily wear them all day without it hurting.
They stay in. Ive taken them snowboarding, running, rock climbing, and to the gym (including a foam pit, and those eat everything) and they've never budged.
The mic works well enough to take calls through without issues.
The touch controls are very responsive (by far the biggest improvent from the previous version)
Aesthetically they don't look bad. The bud is similar in size to the galaxy buds and you can barely see the ear hook when wearing these
You don't have to worry about sweat or rain or anything like that as they're water resistant, though I've never tried swimming in them and don't know if you can.
Value. These are easily competing with and beating headphones that are much more expensive than these, they're very worth it.
The case is a battery pack, as in you can charge your phone from it if needed (though you will need a cable for that)
All in all, I would 10/10 recommend these to anybody, especially anybody looking for solid headphones to work out in.

Great Headphones for the Price

I bought these headphones to replace my BeatsX wireless headphones, mostly for working out or doing work around the house. One of the major appeals for me was not having a wire connecting the two earbuds in the back (like the Beats). I was also looking at buying the Powerbeats and Jabra Elite.
I'm actually super impressed by the quality for the price. They fit really well, and they stay super secure at the gym. They come with several different types of ear cushions (including a memory foam) so keeping them in your ear is not an issue. I haven't really had any issues with bluetooth connectivity or dropping. The batteries life is pretty great, and the case keeps a charge for a while.
The sound quality is pretty great for the price too. They are as good, if not better than the BeatsX (with less overwhelming base). The obviously can't match the quality of higher-priced, over-the-ear headphones, but for the price I would say these are a good choice.
The only drawbacks I've noted is the lack of app support (like my over-the-ear Sony has) and the confusing controls. Once you get used to the controls, they aren't bad, but they can be annoying and finicky at times. Other than that though, I've haven't noticed any other glaring issues. I would definitely buy these again without hesitation.

The Jlab Audio Epic Air Sport True Wireless Headphones fit great. They stay in place during activity and are very comfortable. Love that there are no wires. The controls are easy to use and work well. Bluetooth works well. No problems connecting to devices and haven't had any dropped signals yet. Battery life is good on both the earbuds and the case. The sound is okay. Was hoping for a little more bass. Also not quite as loud as I was hoping for. Overall, a good pair of sport headphones.

The J Lab -Epic Air Sport True Wireless are a great value compared to higher priced wireless earbuds. I shopped around quite a bit and even purchased a few higher priced earbuds. I was not happy with the fit or the sound quality so I returned them and purchased the J Labs.
Pros: The sound quality both while listening to music and for the occasional phone call is excellent. The headphones have three choices for an equalizer setting. I found for my purposes and with my taste in rock and roll the J Lab Signature was the best. The J Lab Signature amped up the music very well and with absolutely no distortion. I use these headphones at the gym on a daily basis and I sweat quite a bit . The headphones are sweatproof and they come with 8 sets of earbuds so you can get a tight enough fit in your ear so sweat wont be going in it. I always make sure I dry them off before putting them back in the case. They hook right up to Bluetooth almost effortlessly. I listen to music on both my MP3 player and on my phone. The headphones can only pair with one device at a time. If you have a few Bluetooth enabled devices on you make sure that the devices you are not listening to music on the blue tooth is turned off. The battery life is excellent . I am looking forward to taking these on long trips. I am certain I will have no issues.
Cons: Small thing. Their is a slight learning curve with all the touch controls. The functions that the touch controls provide are spelled out very well in the instructions. Also some reviewers felt that the charging case is to cumbersome. I have no issue with the charging case. Remember this case will provide you with over 60 hours of charging time before you have to charge the case again. The charging case also has a charging cable on it that can charge your cell phone. I have not used the charging case to charge my cell phone , but that would be a great help if I was in a pinch.
Overall for the value and the sound quality you will not be disappointed with these headphones. I highly recommend.

These buds are great. The fit snug, awesome battery life, sound very decent. Call quality is good. The aware mode can be scratchy but does the job. Has 3 EQ settings. I wish you could use both separately but you either have to use the right or both buds. My favorite feature is the case can be used as a battery pack as well. awesome buy!

I wanted to get some blue tooth headphones I could use while running. These definitely exceeded my expectations. The charge lasts incredibly long and even comes with a nice carrying case that doubles as a charger.
The sound is excellent for headphones you can actually use while exercising. The touch controls on the head phones are really easy to use and a great addition so I don't have to try and reach for my iPod shuffle while on the run. They also have a feature you can enable to hear the sounds around you which is great for running and I have also found quite useful while cooking as well.
Bluetooth range is at least 20 ft and possibly up to 30.
Lastly, the fit is great. They even give you quite a few different ear piece options so you can pick which fits best in your ear. They lock in really well behind your ear and I've had zero issues with them slipping. Very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend.

Earbuds have great sound quality. I charged the earbuds in the case ion purchasing them and have used them for about 20 hours without charging them again. So the battery life seems excellent. The built in charging cord in the case which holds additional charge is a nice setup. The design of the ear hook and multiple ear bud tips keeps them in place nicely during activity. My only negative is that I wish the max volume was a little louder. At times I go to turn up the volume due to surrounding noise or just want loser volume but they are maxed out. The other nice feature is being able to touch each earbud for volume up/down, call answering, song skip, etc...

I use these for running and exercise and they work great.
Paired with my phone quickly and easily and worked well across the room 15-20’ away (great for a gym workout if you have your phone away from you, but in the same room).
Pros:
Good sound and volume (note that it sounds differently with the various ear bud sizes so try them all in your ears to see which size gives you the best fit and best sound)
3 equalizer settings (I found the JLab signature to be the best)
Optional "Be aware" mode to let in outside sound so you are aware of your surroundings
Good distance Bluetooth connectivity (never cut out during a run with the phone in a waist belt)
Easy to use buttons (gentle touch/taps and doesn't put pressure on your ear)
Good fit - 7 different ear bud options to get a perfect fit
Kept sweat out of my ears (which other headsets didn't stop)
Comfortable (I ran for 45 mins and ears felt fine / weren’t sore at all)
Sound in both ears on phone calls (many ear buds only play phone call audio in the right ear alone)
Long run time (10 hours) + 60 extra hours of "charge" in their battery case so you could use them every day for a week for roughly 8 hours a day without recharging the case
I also like that the case/battery can charge other things like your phone or tablet via a standard usb connection
Cons:
Not as good deep base as higher end $300 ear buds, but these are half that price
Phone call audio quality was a little tinny (however people on the other end said I was clear)
Overall a very nice set for exercise and running in my opinion.

Picked these up after going through 3 or 4 pairs of $50 and under amazon true wireless earphones. What sold me on these really was the battery life; 10hr on a single charge with 6 charges stored in their case.
I purchased these in late September and have charged them once since then, going to the gym 4 days a week as well as a trip to Boston. Impressive.
They fit very well to the point where I can jump rope, do box jumps, and spar with them in and I never lose the seal inside my ear. Also comes with several rubber and memory foam tips. I use the memory foam ones and although not as good as my Shure IEM's in terms of external sound isolation, they do about 80% of the job.
In terms of sound, it's basic, but that's not what you buy these types of headphones for. The Jlab mode has been the preset and it's a loudness enhancer, amping the treble and bass slightly. These are in no way shape or form audiophile headphones, but that's why I have my Grado GS1000s.
Range is superior to all the amazon wireless earbuds, getting in excess of 30 ft from my phone. When I box, i can leave phone in my bag now and the audio never drops.
Pair is super easy with these. Once in pair mode just turn on the bt on your phone and voila. Further, they auto turn on/off and auto pair when I take them out of the case, with a ladies voice giving positive affirmation of each action. Nice. The case also has a usb cable folded into the bottom. When I do need to charge them (once every two months) I just plug it into my usb port in my truck and they're good about 4 hours later.
One strange I thing I noticed however was when I had them on walking through the airport, they clipped every 20 seconds or so. This is probably because they do not have APTX bluetooth, so the wireless signal is competing with other bluetooth devices. A minor annoyance, but so far it's only happened at the airport.
In terms of value, if you are a gym rat, long distance runner, or do any type of extreme sport, these are well worth the money. If you are a casual user however, the lower tier Air sport will do just fine.
All in all, I think these are superior the new Dr. Dre Beat sports that just came out as they are 100 bux cheaper and have a far better battery life. Get em on black friday if you are on the fence as I'm sure the price will drop 20 to 50 bux.
I would recommend this to a friend

My husband hated them. I truly adore these. The sound is so much better that the regular Air Sports, which is wild because the regular ones sound great, too. I listen to the music on my cellphone when I go for walks. I listen to music from my cellphone when I go to sleep at night. The ear buds are comfy. The hooks mean that they never leave my ears. I'm a back sleeper, but on my side sometimes, they can mash into the ear if you have extra firm pillows like I do. Otherwise, easy to use with finger taps. Easy to clean with an alcohol q-tip. Easy to charge (plus the case is a battery that can be used to charge your phone, too). Long-lasting. Great equalizer. I'm totally hooked on J Labs.

This is my second set of JLab true wireless earbuds, and I'm very pleased with both. I don't think this manufacturer gets enough credit or attention when it comes to true wireless -- they were early innovators with the earhook design, which is a godsend for people like me who can't keep most other designs to stay put -- poorly configured ears, I guess :-) Anyway, I would highly recommend these for perfectly fine sound quality, secure fit, convenient charging case (though some may find it a bit large, it works for me since I carry a backpack all the time. It would be to large for most pockets), and stable bluetooth connectivity.
