Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this as a gift for my wife. She likes the fact that these earbuds do not fit into the ear canal. One negative/question: why is there no power cord?

Real comfortable to wear but it seems like a constant buzzing and hum is going on when using them. Might have to exchange them.

These have great sound and do not hurt my ears! They are not noise canceling (obviously) which makes music hard to hear in overly noisy environments, but my intent was to use for exercise and audio books/movies while traveling and they work great. Plus, they fit snug, do not fall off and I haven't had to charge since I got them a month ago

These open style ear buds are super comfortable and look very nice, there are other open ear bud models (Shokz and Soundcore to name a few) that provide significantly higher quality sound and volume than these. If you love JLab than I suppose go with these but I'm pretty sure the Soundcore models are less expensive and sound better.

Good earbuds for over the ear, good sound, sometimes slip off

These headphones are super lightweight I can't tell you how many times I've forgotten I had them on. They wrap around your ears so I haven't had to worry about them falling out. They give better control over the audio control with the app you download to your phone.

Pretty good earbuds! Very clear sound and clarity!

Love the ear phones. They are easier to put on and the sound is better.

Great sound and quality for the price. Easy to pair and get going right out of the box. Because they are open ear, they do not do well in noisy settings, so if your looking for a more comfortable fit to replace you in the ear option for yard work these are not them.

Great battery life. No issues with connection to aiPHone. Very pleased.

Perfect for your blue-collar guy to wear at work and still can hear what is going on around! The sound even sounds great when you are walking next to big machines as well! Very comfortable! A MUST BUY!

I am a pettie person and have trouble with over the ear headphones fitting properly. These are comfortable; sometimes I don't even notice I'm wearing them. I LOVE them. SO glad I chose to go with the JLab headphones!

For the money, these are surprising really good... very impressed...

These airbuds are great! They have a great sound and the person on the other end says I sound clear too. They are very comfortable and stay on my ears as I walk, exercise, clean the house etc. Overall a great earbud!

Verdict: the JLAB Epic Open Sport are great earphones that deliver the benefits of open-ear listening – hear your surroundings while still getting good sound (and probably limiting damage to your hearing). However, they are not ideal for really loud places. Initial impressions. They are lightweight. They rest nicely and comfortable behind the ear. The quick start guide is simple and useful to get going. Setup was straightforward, without any issues. The package includes a USB-C charging cable. Sound. It takes a few minutes to adjust the placement of the earphones for optimal sound, but once you figure it out, it’s easy the next time. Sound is better than I expected, but of course not as good as active and passive noise cancellation earbuds. The lows are better than I expected, not bad! Due to the open-ear design, these don’t do well in areas with a lot of ambient noise. On the other hand, they are great for hearing your surroundings, for example, when working out (interact with other people), running (hearing traffic), or mountain biking (hearing other riders communicate their intentions). App. The app is always important to me because, for example, I want the ability to reassign controls so that I don’t have to relearn all controls from one brand to another. With the JLAB app, I can customize controls, adjust the equalizer, boost the bass, listen to white noise, and more. Running. These earbuds are working well for my running, particularly in avoiding earbuds slipping out from sweat. I can also hear my surroundings, including nature, other runners, cyclists, and vehicles. Best of all, my ears don’t hurt after a long run (1.5 hours) with earbuds pushed in as much as possible). However, running on treadmill with these is not ideal because of the treadmill noise. Things I like: - Best open-ear earphones that I have tried in terms of comfort and sound quality - Super comfortable! You forget they are there - Decent battery life, with ~30 hours total (7 hours for the earbuds and an additional 23 from the case) - The app adds a lot of functionality and value to the earbuds. Well done! - Two-year warranty - The touch controls work fine - Great for really sweaty days when my normal earbuds keep sliding out! - Connection to two devices (I wish it was more… I have other earbuds that do three, it’s amazing!) Things I don’t like: - Not great to use in loud environments or noisy activities (for example, running on a treadmill, sitting on a plane, or walking through an airport) - Sound quality is not great **if compared** to other sealed earbuds with passive and active noise cancellation, but it’s a worthwhile tradeoff depending on the activity. Are you looking for a fully immersive experience during which the world falls away? If so, these are not the earbuds for you. Do you want situational awareness of your surroundings while listening to music, audio, instructions, podcasts, etc.? Then these are for you - IP55 sweat and dust resistance; I hope that will be enough to use through all the elements when I run… If these are meant to be used outdoor as safer listening devices from increased situational awareness and as sports earphones (Epic Open “Sport”), they should be IP65 so that they survive outdoor conditions. Maybe a dozen of my runs per year are in the rain. I hope these will last Overall, I think that the JLAB Epic Open Sport are great open-ear earphones, but they are not for everyone. In terms of the open-ear category, it’s the best one I have tried. However, when compare to my high-end earbuds, the Epic Open Sport can’t compete on sound quality – but then again, they are not meant to. The Epic Open Sport provides quality audio in an open-air format to allow for situational awareness and avoid earbuds slipping out of your ears. I like them, and I am using them on my runs now because it’s soooo hot that I can’t keep my earbuds in due to excess sweating. As a general pair of everyday earphones, I would rate these at 3.5 Star. For a pair of open-ear earphones, I would rate these at 4.5 Star (rounded up to 5 stars). I hope this review helps a few people.

Works better than I thought it would have tinnitus in right ear and it actually helps great sound very comfortable would recommend

Kids love these earbuds. I recommend them to others.

The JLAB Epic Open Sport earbuds are a very high quality and comfortable pair of earbuds that I would definitely recommend to others. I have been using them for a full week in three scenarios: sport (running 3 to 5 miles), office (videoconferencing), and listening music, and I can see that exceed expectations in all the three. In the box, you have your user guide, USB-C to USB-C charging wire, the carrying case, and the two JLAB Epic earbuds. The manual gives a quick guide on how to start using the device. One of the most useful aspects is the QR-code the quickly enables you to download the JLAB app. Like with most of the wireless devices, I strongly recommend downloading the app to manage some of the functionalities that you would otherwise miss, such as the firmware update that it will keep your software up to date with the best performance. First to note is its connection to the phone or laptop, which is impressively fast and effortless. In fact, this is done even without having the app downloaded, all you need is your Bluetooth activated. The same effortless feeling appears when you are pairing your equipment to the app. The earbuds are designed great with an apparent high level of quality. After an extensive usage, and in some cases an intentional mistreatment (for testing), the shape remains strong as good as new. From a comfort point of view, I am also very happy how it adapts to my ear and despite wearing glasses. This very fact was able to change what I thought about "open-eared" headphones, as I thought they would work well with glasses. Over the years, I've been avoiding these models for the incompatibility with the sun/sports glasses and the designers of this one nailed it. One last thing in this area is the fact that these earbuds they hold on tight during vigorous activity; they don't get loose or fall off. All controls can easily be accessed from the earbuds with a physical button and, with the app, they can be adapted to your preferences. With that you can play or pause music, move to your next track, move to your previous track, and increase or decrease volume, which I have actually found very useful. The sound is great and, in the app, you can play with the equalizer to adapt it to your preferences. There are two preset options for people who either don't want to mess with them or don't really want to: movie mode or music mode. When you first put them on, it sounds pretty quiet, but you get used to it pretty fast, and let me tell you, that audio quality is awesome. Of course, the earbuds allow you to very clearly hear anything around that makes them a superb option while running in open space to be save in your surroundings. Note that while the sound is not noise canceling, the mic has that functionality and in case you are exercising and talking at the same time, the person on the other end will not be able to notice it. I would also hate to forget the fact these earbuds have amazing battery life. I have been able to use these for three days straight without needing to charge them. Note also that the battery is doubled with the extra power stored in the case. The specs are promising up to 40 hours and I can't question it. All in all, these are some really great earbuds, are very high quality, they feel awesome, and I would definitely recommend these to friends.

My overall rating is a four star. The earbuds after being worn for a while they do make your ears hurt which is a major issue for me because I wear mine for a long periods during the day. Also, when the Bluetooth battery is weak you can’t hear people and the malfunction not allowing you to connect.

Just want I needed works great for me should have purchased a long time ago.
