Customer Ratings & Reviews

Right headphone stopped working. It won't charge anymore, I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I was not impressed with the overall sound, and found them difficult to operate.

Por sound quality. Noise cancelling terrible. Does not fit

Speakers started to crackle and they lose connection every few seconds. Of course I'm past my return window. The samsung Bud FE have been way better than these.

Bought 2 months ago and the eight earpiece already is broke. Unable to get any sound out of it.

Didn't fit in my ears. Sound sucks !¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

These earbuds offer a light, comfortable fit with comfortable ear loops. They can be worn for long periods of time without creating significant strain or pressure points on the ear. However, the drawback of ear loops is that the seal into the ear canal is not as good as it could be, and sound isolation suffers. This also creates high treble notes and less consistent deep base. When listening to a variety of music genres, I found that the earbuds work nicely across many different types of music. However, when the bass really needed to start kicking, I was significantly underwhelmed – especially if moving around and unable to push the buds back in to create a seal. Out of the box, the earbuds feel solid in the case and come with a built-in charging cable for convenience, plus a port if using your own cable. Paring is made simple by audio prompts. Re-pairing with Bluetooth audio devices is seamless and quick. Nice audio prompts upon connecting to Bluetooth indicate battery life, which helps with battery planning. The case feels well-made, and the buds fit nicely inside with good contact with the charging contacts. User controls are intuitive and easy to use. Pause and resume, as well as turning on and off sound isolation for ambient noise control, is as easy as toggling the left earbud. The earbuds are ideal for fitness activities such as running, lifting weights, or other high-intensity activities since the ear loops keep the buds attached to the ear despite a lot of movement. As previously mentioned, I think sound isolation suffers from that design. Users may need to swap the included silicone gel tips for different sizing configurations, but I have yet to find a perfect fit with ear loops in general. These earbuds are also useful for the work environment as they allow for decent sound quality while allowing for ambient noise to help the user be aware of surroundings. What I enjoy listening to most with these are audiobooks while exercising or cleaning the house. I can still hear voices perfectly, and I do not need them to be sealed in the ear since I am not listening to deep bass. Of course, since voices are easily heard, these work great for phone calls. That audio is crisp and clear. People listening to me are happy with my audio. I definitely recommend these earbuds for the uses I mentioned above. Within those restrictions, they are excellent! If someone wants constant, deep bass, these are not the answer. For that matter, I have not found any buds with ear loops that fulfill that requirement.

JLab does it again, but are we really surprised? The Epic Sport ANC 3 earbuds are everything you want in a pair of earbuds for the gym with nothing you don't. For those looking for quality audio, the Epic Sport ANC 3 had support for LDAC on Android and AAC on iOS, meaning that you won't experience the quality drop typical for most headphones on either platform. The noise cancelling won't win any awards, but for drowning out the noises at the typical gym during Resolution Month, they're pretty solid, I also tested them (briefly) for ambient mode while shoveling the recent Kansas City snow, but found they couldn't last very long in the blistering cold while exposed; under a stocking cap or ear muffs, they fared better in 5 degree Fahrenheit temperatures (-15 Celsius). Inside the house after they warmed back up, I got a few hours of listening to music out of them without even using half the battery. The charging case is where the most innovation with these earbuds happened over my last pair. First, it's more pocket-friendly that past versions. Second, the built-in cable is USB-C instead of a flat-plug USB-A. Third, on top of the built-in USB-C cable, there's also a USB-C port for an external charger wire and the ability to charge on any Qi-compatible wireless charger. The ONLY thing I would have liked to see added was a USB A-to-C adapter in the charge case, and there is room for it. Audio quality is very good, but depends on your phone more than anything else. iOS devices will use AAC streaming, which means that if your music is in AAC format or you're using a streaming platform like Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, or the paid version of SoundCloud, the audio conversion will happen inside the earbuds instead of on your phone. All other formats will be converted to AAC audio on the fly, including FLAC and ALAC lossless formats. For Android headsets, LDAC support requires the capability in your phone to encode this format, but you'll be able to enjoy hi-res lossless formats like FLAC, ALAC, MQA, and even files you might have in the uncompressed WAV and AIFF formats. The JLab app is also a must-have with these earbuds, as it lets you tweak EQ settings and more easily control the ANC and transparency modes from your phone screen (along with firmware updates to add or tweak features in the earbuds themselves). All in all, you really can't go wrong with the JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 earbuds.

I had very bad luck with this product: the first pair I got snapped in two when I put them on to exercise, rendering them inoperable. The replacement worked for a little while but now only charges one of the earphones.

Difficult to pair Poor instructions JBL are much better

So if you are reading this review you are looking for a new pair of earbuds. Are these worth it or not. I always look at price to performance on electronics. If i'm paying top dollar i want all the bells and whistles. If i'm paying bottom dollar i just want them to work. So these earbuds in my opinion are a lower tier price with some very nice features. First off the quality was outstanding. They did not feel all plasticy and cheap. They felt like they can take some abuse but still not just fall apart. I don't suggest dropping them on the ground and stepping on them, but a drop to the ground will not affect them. A few features i loved was the ability to connect them to multiple devices like my phone and my home stereo with bluetooth multipoint. This way im not always needing to connect to my phone then my stereo i can have them multi connected at the same time. If you have an android device it has google fast pair. I don't have an android but i'm guessing it makes it quicker to connect to your android device,just shooting spit wads on that one because i'm not sure. It has dual drivers so it has basically two sets of speakers in the earbud to handle the high and midrange sound and one to handle the base. It defiantly makes a difference in sound quality because it does not distort your sound. So sound quality on these are very good. They are sweat proof not waterproof. So don't go swimming with these in. They also have noise canceling microphone for when your taking calls it will help with background sounds and the wind people can hear talking to you. They also have wireless charging and an integrated USB type-C charging setup. One of the best features i look for in earbuds is battery life. Now on the box it stated 52+ battery life but i listen to mine cranked pretty loud because of my bad hearing, I know bet that really helps with my bad hearing.But the most im getting out of mine is about 48 to 50 hours but that is actually pretty long, considering i have had some that last's only 12 hours at best. So all in all these are some very nice earbuds. For price to features and quality these are a very good purchase.

JLab Epic Sport ANC3 Earbuds are the best earbuds I have ever owned. The sound quality is impressive, they stay in place comfortably, and they incorporate the latest technological advancements and audio quality. Utilizing the latest Bluetooth technology, they automatically work with your device to be discovered and connected. They are comfortable to wear and stay in place using a comfortable over-the-ear design. The ear tips come in three sizes, and there is a fourth option, foam tips, which you can purchase online. These foam tips are similar to foam earplugs you squeeze into your ears. Foam tips are comfortable, blocking most outside noises, such as earplugs. The automatic noise canceling technology is exceedingly good and can be set to three levels via the JLab app: Off, Be Aware, and On. A slider in the app allows you to control the level of noise cancelation. The touch controls on the earbuds allow you to switch between modes; the touch controls are configurable; by default, a long press on either earbud switches the mode. The earbuds talk to you so you know important information like your mode. The touch controls are either taps, long presses, or swipes. The charging case can be wirelessly via USB-C or the built-in USB-C cable. It has various indicator lights so that you know the state of the charge for each earbud without having to refer to the app. An interval timer is helpful during interval training; active time, rest time, and repeat are configurable. A tone will play at each step, and the interval data can be seen in the app. There are three preset equalizer settings and a custom version that allows you to set the earbuds to your preference. One of the more interesting features is a burn-in tool that plays noise, tones, and frequencies through the earbuds to burn in the electronics and sound drivers. An ambient noise generator also allows various ambient sounds to be played individually or in combination. JLab seems very customer—and quality-focused, so I expect more features to be available in future software and firmware releases. I have been using these earbuds for weeks and highly recommend them.

Really bad quality, waste of money. Very disappointed.

Could not get them to work with my t.V m I did buy an adapter

I am writing this review for the JLab Epic Sport, ANC 3, True Wireless Earbuds. I think it’s a safe bet that every one of us have had that agonizing incident when, while wearing earbuds, we bend over and suddenly witness one of them falling into the trash, down a gutter, or wherever else. Most of the time we are able to retrieve them unharmed. But then there are those times when they get stepped on, flushed down a toilet, or disappear into the void, and we are left with only one. And for those who run, work out, work around the house, or even go biking, the incident rate goes up exponentially. Thankfully JLab has provided a solution with the Epic Sport earbuds. In the early days of earbuds, the wrap-around ear loop was the norm. Now it seems that everyone wants to go to the in-ear style earbuds. Don’t get me wrong, I have several pair of in-ear buds that fit well, and sound great. But they are impossible to really relax and enjoy with unless I am not doing anything overly physical, because the thought is always in the back of my mind…”Be careful, they might fall out!” So I was glad to see a wrap-around-the-ear model available from JLab, a brand I have enjoyed many times over the years. One of the first things I noticed was just how well-designed they are for fit. It’s obvious a lot of research went into making sure that they not only would stay on, but that they would be extremely comfortable as well. I know that with a lot of other same-style earbuds, I have had to constantly readjust, and “cram” them back in to my ears. But not so with the JLab. The curvature of the loop and the angle of the earbud itself ensure a snug and comfortable fit, especially with the choice of three different sized silicone ear tips that guarantee a good fit for just about anyone. Now, it might be just me, but I really like that they also placed a very cool looking JLab logo on the outside of the earbud. It really gives them a lot of eye appeal! To sum up this part of the review, they look and feel great. I have no complaints whatsoever in this regard! Setting up the earbuds was absolutely typical. Charging, downloading the app, and familiarizing yourself with the functions of the controls. For me, the location and purpose of the controls always pose a minor issue, especially when switching from one earbud to another. You know,, trying to remember how each one works can be a tad frustrating. But hey, that’s just the way it is no matter which earbud you use. JLab has made controlling the Epic Sport earbuds uniquely simple and easy. By not trying to incorporate a huge number of functions, they make the learning curve quite easy… Volume, answer calls, ANC functions, and a couple of others, and that’s it. And for what they are designed for, I believe that is more than sufficient. When you are working out or working around the house or job, you want an earbud that is refreshingly simple. Speaking of charging, JLab has designed the Epic Sport earbuds to accommodate two types of charging, wireless and cable. This goes a long way with me! There is nothing like simply placing the case on a wireless charging station and not having to look for the right type of cable, plugging it in, etc.! Simple…easy! Thank you JLab! As for the sound. I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised at the sound of these earbuds. First of all, the listening experience is very well sealed off from outside noise, not only with the ANC, but also because of how comfortably snug they fit into the ear canal, sealing off wind noise and inhibiting other outside noises from creeping in. The ANC aspect of these earbuds is quite decent, especially when you consider the price-point. The JLab ANC technology in these earbuds rivals that of many much-higher priced earbuds on the market. They don’t completely block all outside noises, but like I said, they do remarkably well. And of course the Epic Sport has the typical ANC choices…Off, ON, and Pass-through (Be Aware). I always prefer the Be Aware function so that I can be aware of approaching cars, people and so on. There’s nothing like the sudden urge to have a heart attack when you are suddenly surprised by a blowing horn or someone running up behind you unnoticed! Besides the ANC aspect, music and podcasts sound great. At the end of the day, the JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 True Wireless Earbuds are a great investment for anyone wanting an active lifestyle coupled with a great pair of wireless ANC earbuds. They are comfortable, the sound delivery is remarkable, and they don’t break the bank. A perfect choice!

They were constantly glitching. I am returning them and getting another pair.

I didn’t received the item. I don't know anything about these headsets

I feel JLab does a nice job listening to their customers. I love these earbuds as they go around the ear to help hold them in place. My only complaint would be that they are a hard plastic, so not as comfortable and this makes it a little harder to get in place. If they would make the part that goes around the ear a little softer that could flex more than they would be perfect. I prefer this type though over just sitting in the ear. The sound quality is decent, not the best but not too bad either and with the app you can customize a little bit more. The case. I think this is probably the best-case design so far. You have 3 options for charging. One, they have a built in USB-C cord. This is very short, but at least it is there in case you are out and about and need to charge and forgot a cord. The next is that you can put this on a wireless dock station and charge it wirelessly. The last way is that you can buy your own USB-C cord at least on one end and plug that into the case itself and then plug into a wall. I love that they added this so that I can use a longer charge cord. The only downside is that you do have to buy a longer cord on your own. I wished they would have included one myself but I am happy they at least added the port on the case so I can use my own. For the most part, my only main complaint would be the hard plastic. But great job to JLabs listening.

The JLAB Epic Sport ANC3 wireless earbuds looked great on paper. They have tons of features, including long battery life, LDAC Hi-Res Audio, active noise cancellation, multiple charging options, 3 different sized ear tips, IP66 sweat and water resistance, and more. I really wanted to like these ear buds, but in real-world use, they just didn't perform for me. The biggest problem I had was that I just couldn't get a good seal in my ear, which affected the sound quality. I admittedly have bigger ear canals than average, so I almost always use the large ear tips. And these seem to fit fine, if I take the time to fidget with them and make sure I get a good seal. The only problem is as soon as I move, the seal is broken and I'm back to loose fitting, poor sound quality buds. I think the problem lies with the ear hook design. It is so rigid that it doesn't allow the ear tip to sit as deep as I need it to keep the seal tight. Trying to use these while actually working out was not a good experience. I was really disappointed too, because when I would get a good seal, these actually had pretty decent sound quality. And the battery life is amazing. They can last up to 12 hours, and then get another 40 hours worth of charge out of the case, totaling more than 50 hours of use before you need to charge them again. And when it comes to charging, the case has a built-in usb-c cable, which is the first time I've seen that included with wireless ear buds. The case also features wireless charging, and a usb-c port if for some reason you can't use the attached usb-c cable. All really great features that I would absolutely love if I could actually use these ear buds. However, as it stands, I just cannot recommend these. Maybe it's just the shapes of my ears or something, but I've never really had an issue with other ear buds, even similarly designed ones with ear hooks. So while these ear buds have a lot of really great features, I would keep looking if you are looking for a decent pair of sport oriented ear buds.

The JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 True Earbuds (model: EBEPICSPT3RBLK82) are a great sounding set of earbuds. They have a wide range of capabilities and sound well across the spectrum of music. These are a very secure set of in-ear ears buds that have a built-in set of ear hooks that make these the most secure fitting earbuds that I have evaluated. These earbuds are built for exercise – including rigorous exercise. JLab calls these “their most premium sports earbuds ever.” Ear Bud Features First, these are True Wireless In-Ear earbuds via Bluetooth 5.3 with multi-point connectivity (2 devices at the same time) and are powered by built-in Lithium polymer batteries rated for 12+ hours “each” in the earbuds (with ANC off) and 40+ hours from the charging case for a total rated time of 52+ hours (your time will vary) of battery life. They feature touch and swipe controls on both pods, auto on, the ability to use either bud in a solo mode, can work with phone assistants, have good audio quality, microphones in both pods, a noise isolating fit, and IP66 Sweatproof resistance for the earbuds only. The earbuds come with 3 sets of gel tips (S, M, and L) so that the fit can be customized. They also come with three sets of silicone gel tips to aid in the fit of the buds to the ear (medium installed, small and large come as alternatives / spares). The ear buds come with wear detect sensors so that music can be paused and restarted as needed when either pod is removed from the ear. The charging case has an integrated cable (USB-C) that folds into the case for ease of storage and features wireless charging, and a charging port to provide yet another options for charging (say with a USB A-C cable). These also come with a 2-year parts and labor warranty. The touch controls are symmetrical (both buds have the same controls) and are the controls you would expect for powering the earbuds on/off, answering/ending/ignoring calls, voice assistant, music play/pause, and skipping tracks. A long press on the controls will control the automatic noise control features, between On, Off, and Be Aware. Be Aware, allows one to listen but still hear the surrounding area for safe listening. Tapping 5 times toggles the Spatial Audio on or off, Spatial Audio is a “surround-sound” like mode that enhances the sound of anything you are listening to. Tapping both the left and right touch sensors cycles the EQ settings from “JLab Signature” (default with amplified vocals and bass), to “Knowles Preferred” (balanced armature), to “Bass Boost” (amplified bass and sub-bass), and finally “Custom” that can be configured in the JLab app. The EQ mode is indicated with voice prompts. In ear devices are not my first choice in audio devices, however these I found to be the best earbuds as far as staying securely on one’s ears that I have tried. One thing to remember is the best way to put on earbuds with ear hooks is to place the earbud into the ear while the hook is at the front of the ear and then rotate the earbud so that the hook is securely placed on one’s ear. JLab app, which is technically optional, allows one to control most aspects of these earbuds right from the app. Once paired with your device and the app is installed and open you can see a list of the JLab devices you have and then clicking on the one you want to control is a tap away. For this model of earbuds you have the following controls – Noise Control modes, Interval Timer (helps with interval exercise routines while listening), Equalizer settings, Touch controls, Spatial audio, turn on/off the auto play/pause sensors, set the device to music or movie mode (this is a low latency mode to enhance watching movies), turn on safe hearing to control volume, and finally update the firmware of the earbuds. Overall, in my testing, these earbuds performed well and sounded good for both calls and audio and would be a good addition for anyone who likes to use earbuds for their audio needs; especially audio needs pertaining to vigorous exercise activities where a securely fitting earbud is essential. Pros: Great value, Charging options (integrated cable, wireless, extra port) Cons: Not the best earbuds for side sleepers, changing EQ settings requires either both hands, or using the app.
