Customer Ratings & Reviews

The JLAB Epic Sport earbuds are my go-to earbuds and I was excited to try out the new Epic Sport ANC 3 to see what improvements have been made. Right off the bat there is a new design, they are a bit transparent and the part that goes inside your ear has a different look and feel as well as the whole earbud being slightly smaller. Overall putting the earbuds in my ears takes a few more seconds than the old ones but they do feel more secure once installed and the seal between my ear canal and the earbud does feel better than previous generations. They've added a new led battery light indicator to the case instead of the little dots they are now bigger led lines that are easier to see. They've also replaced the two-sided charging cable with a USB-C charging cable while also adding another USB-C port to use an external cable all while retaining the wireless charging on the case from the previous generation, so you have multiple options to charge the case. The sound on the Epic Sport ANC 3's is a great step up from the previous generations with the addition of the LDAC codec and the new larger speaker drivers these earbuds do sound better although not as loud as the older ones. Even though they aren't as loud as the previous ones the new version of their active noise canceling makes it so you don't really hear anything above what's coming through the earbuds and it works so well you don't really notice that they aren't as loud. The Epic Sport buds have been known to not have good microphones for voice calls and in this case, it remains about the same with the Epic Sport ANC 3's, they are slightly better than before but if you're doing any important calls then these aren't the earbuds for you. The touch controls have received a major uplift, and the touch area goes all the way up through the stem which is used for volume, and you can customize each press in the mobile JLAB app. In the app you can change various settings as well as update the firmware for the earbuds which I have already updated two times. Overall, I'm happy with the Epic Sport ANC 3's as they are my favorite earbuds and if they really improve the microphones in the next version, they could be competing for the best earbuds ever made!

I can no longer wear ear buds so I tend to gravitate towards either classic over the ear headphones or sportswear wrap around headphones. I did previously try Jlabs open-clip true wireless ear buds that clip over your lower ear lobe and they do tend to work ok, but my lobes are thick and I found after about 30-40 minutes, they were a bit too tight so I gave them to my wife who loves them and uses them every day for her workouts. When I saw what seemed to be a hybrid "opposite" version of that design and were made to slide over your top ear bud, I was excited to try them because I would like to have the freedom of earbuds without having to cram something in my ear to support them. Arriving in what now seems to be their signature blue box design, inside you will basically find the ear buds housed in a very nice charging clam shell case and a few different earbud tips to try if the stock installed models do not work for you. There is no USB-C charging cable, but what I love about the case is it has an integrated, short USB-C cable on the bottom that can snap away when not in use AND a USB-C charger port if you want to use your own cable for charging. To me, this is brilliant and perfect. Pairing them with my iPhone was easy as expected and off I went. First problem was trying to figure out how to put these things on, but once you get the hang of lowering the ear bud to your ear horizontally and then twisting to vertical, they go on fairly easy. Sound quality is good especially for the price. It's nothing that is going to be stellar and compared to some of the better earbuds I've listened to, they're a solid 7 but those other earbuds also cost twice as much if not more. They feel very sturdy and well made. Noise cancellation is just ok but unless you use completely over the ear headphones or earbuds that form a seal in your ear, there is only so much that ANC can do and these do as well as they can. If you take your hands and put pressure on them in your ear and form a more classic earbud seal, the ANC goes up a notch but then you would just wear traditional ear buds. I will continue to use them for working out as I have done for several days now outside listening to podcasts and some music. Even when moving a lot or jumping around they do not budge which is more than I can say for normal earbuds and that's a big plus in my book.

Been trying to find small enough, with good sound quality earbuds, but could not find ones that will stay put inside my ear canals while working out, finally found the ones with these! I don’t know what’s about my ear canals, maybe I sweat a lot or have some ear wax, but whatever earbuds I tried, none would stay put inside my ear canals and will eventually fall down while working out (they would stay just fine all day, but my problem was when working out, either running or lifting). I did not want to use headphones while working out either, that would be yucky while sweating and all that. These finally solved my problems, and I have been using them exclusively only while working out (after a while I tend to fell a small discomfort with these if I use them for a prolonged time, even trying all the sizes cups, but they are just fine for my workouts). They came neatly packed and I love how the charging USB cable is attached to the case and just flips out, so no losing it. Apart from that the case also charges wirelessly just fine too. Pairing them with my phone was super easy and they can work like that just fine, but I also recommend downloading their app, as you can further customize them to your pleasure. You can change EQ tunes, create a custom one etc. I love that you can just swipe on them to perform different functions too (like answering call, ending call, volume etc). Audio quality is great and volume is plenty. Sometimes when running they move inside my ear canal and some of the seal is lost and reduces the ANC effect (active noise cancelation). Maybe my weird ear canal shape or something but at least they don’t fall off to the ground while running, which is what I was looking for. A little nudge to tweak them back into place solves that issue. If you are looking for earbuds that stay in place on your ears while working out, I highly recommend them!

JLab has been around for several years offering budget friendly audio products. I have owned several JLab earbuds previously. And one of earbuds was the Sports earbuds. This Epic Sport ANC 3 is an update of their previous Sport model. Having the same form factor as the previous model there’s not much to discuss here. Again, the earbuds have hooks so that they’d stay put on your ears while doing workouts and they’d also be great using while on flights or long trips on a bus or train. Main noticeable difference though would be the built-in cable is now USB-C unlike the previous USB-A. Internally, JLab included active noise cancelling and and High Res Audio with LDAC codec. Note that LDAC is only supported with Android not iOS. On paper these would be nice and JLab boasts that it’s the best sounding earbuds they have (save arguably for the Epic ANC 4). However, that probably ends there. As I have paired and put on the Sport ANC 3 earbuds, I was extremely disappointed with the sound quality. Perhaps, it was due to the wrong size of the rubber earpieces. I am a large so I then changed to the largest earpieces and did notice a slight improvement. I then proceeded to press the earbuds harder to my ears but again there was minimal difference. I then installed the app and used the settings and quite frankly I am not impressed. The sound profile simply lacked the warmth you’d expect from a decent pair of earbuds. Even when using the equalizer function did not give satisfactory results. To be honest, my entry level Jlab sounded better though I wouldn’t expect trailblazing audio, but my previous Jlab were entry level earbuds. The Epic Sport ANC 3 is one of the premium earbuds. And it is anything but what is promised. I’d stick to other Jlabs.

These earbuds have clear sound, strong bass, and effective noise canceling. They stay secure during workouts and the battery lasts a long time. Very happy with this purchase!

Jlab really delivered a great set of sport earbuds with the JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 True Wireless Earbuds. I'm a competitive long distance runner and I've had a few different sets of earbuds that I use on my runs. These earbuds delivered on fit, sound quality, and connectivity. *Build Quality/Design - The case and earbuds are made out of hard plastic but they both feel sturdy and solid. The earbuds fit perfectly in the case with no slack. There's a slick embossed logo on the outside of a polished matte finish. Jlab offers both a plug in USB-C and a charging port, very convenient. There are 3 sets of earbud tips to fit your ears. I highly recommend sizing up on the tips to make sure they fit your ear. I notice a distinct difference in bass output when the tips were too small. *Setup This was easy. I charged the case, paired with my phone, my computer, and my smartwatch without a hitch. My watch took a little longer to pair but I blame the watch. *Fit These buds go on the ear easily, fit snug, and I had no ear pain from the bud or the clip over my ear. The Epic Sport earbuds felt secure on my ear for a great fit. While running, I had no problems with the fit or earbuds slipping as I hit the pavement. Design and fit are well done. *Features: ANC, IP66 Waterproof, Wireless Charging Case, Touch Controls, Find with Tile *Software The JLab app is well done with 3 main categories: Devices, My JLab, and Settings. Device: The device screen is for switching between different JLab earbuds. I have the JLab mini earbuds too so this is where you can select your device. My JLab: Ambient Sounds is at the top of the page. I love what they do here. You can choose up to 9 ambient sounds which is great for studying, working, or winding down before sleeping. The cool part is you can choose multiple ambient sounds to play at the same time. For example, you might choose rain with birds singing, or the sound of a plane cabin or a fan (white noise.) There's a burn-in tool to break the headphones in, an illustrative control guide, and the JLab store. Once you click on the Epic Sport ANC 3 device you will see a menu with the following settings: Noise Control Mode - There are 3 modes here: ANC on, ANC off, and a pass through called "Be Aware" (Great for running so I can hear cars and noises around me) Interval Timer: For workouts. I don't really see a need for this unless you're working out, fairly basic Equalizer: This is solid. I prefer the JLab Signature, but there's 3 settings and then a custom setting you can dial in if you prefer. Touch Controls: A fully customizeable menu for each earbud and each type of tap, slide or long press. This is the most comprehensive setup I've seen. Spatial Audio: On/Off There's a music mode and movie mode. They both sound great to me. Movie mode has better dialogue. Safe Hearing: You can limit the decibels here. Last, there's a readout at the top for battery levels on Left, Right, and Case. You can listen to one earbud at a time if you have the need. Overall, I will say that their app is well done, full of options, and gives you the ability to customize any feature/setting/sound. *Specs/Performance - The sound is really impressive. I wasn't expecting to hear such definitive bass. Highs, Mids and Lows are all good. Music and movies both sound high quality. ANC works well and performs on par with most earbuds I've had. Battery life is about 15 hours on the earbuds and you get another 55 hours out of the case for a total of 70 hours. The only negative was an occasional drop in connectivity while running but I've had the same issues with other earbuds. Connectivity with my phone was much better so it was most likely the swinging arms that caused an occasional glitch. Make sure you use the right size ear tips to maximize the sound quality. Phone calls sound clear on both ends. *Conclusion I can't say enough good things about these earbuds. They tick every box. The design, fit, app, and sound quality are all great. Jlab delivered. I highly recommend these for any type of outdoor activity or indoors if you just prefer a more secure fit. I have a medium size head/ears and they fit perfectly. *Pros* *Definitive, deep bass *App is really impressive with endless options/customization *Sweatproof, Splashproof *Earbuds get loud *Equalizer *Needs Improvement/Suggestions/Cons* *Occasional slip in connectivity

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of these headphones. Come with a lot of good features, case has wireless charging as well as a built in usbc cord. The touch pad that you can slide your finger against to raise and lower volume is nice. The active noise canceling works reasonably well, blocking all but the loudest sounds at the gym. Not as good as the noise canceling Sony has but for about 1/3 the price it works well enough. The touch pads can be a bit finicky, often when double tapping to skip if it's too fast it only reads one tap and just paused. Mildly annoying but not a huge deal, just takes getting used to. My only real complaint is that the right ear bud sits in the left side of the case and the left earbud sits in the right side of the case. Which probably isn't a real complaint, it's just weird that they are the wrong side. Overall I would say they are a 7/10 set of earbuds but price point makes them a 10/10.

These ear plugs are outstanding they fit the ears comfortably and secure the sound is crystal clear they also hold a great charge loved them so much that I purchased 2 extra pairs for future dependents as needed just in case they are not available when the current ones expire

I already own a set of the Epic Lab Edition so when I saw this I was honestly curious as to why it was basically half the price for similar technology but a different form factor. Also I very much wish JLab would start to get more focused with their product lines and naming scheme because I was incredibly confused when I saw this as well as the "JBuds Sport ANC 4" except the 4's were technically older than the 3's, but then realize that the "logic" is that there's a... Separation between the "Sport" and the "Epic Sport" that's technically part of the "Epic" line, but technically the "Epic" line does not share similarities with previous "Epic" earbuds that also had the "Epic Air" and "Epic Air Sport". Apparently now the "Epic" include dual driver technology, except when it applies to the "Epic Work" and the other "Epic" peripherals like keyboards, mice and microphones. I know you don't ready these reviews JLab but please fix this. It's difficult to keep up with what any of the product line titles and what they are even supposed to mean when you meaninglessly slap them onto a bunch of other things that it basically seems like you closed your eyes and threw darts at sticky notes to come up with the names. Packaging is what you can expect, but what I didn't expect is how to charge this. It has three different ways to do it... For some reason. I'm honestly not complaining because it has wireless charging or wired charging two different ways; a usb port and a usb c male cable. Other than that it's a standard affair with extra ear tips but not as fancy as the other "Epic" buds. And not to mention just how incredibly large the charging case is. Yes it can technically fit in the palm of your hand, but you might as well be carrying a river stone in your pocket with the only upside being that is isn't as heavy as a rock. I understand that the size needed to be increased because of the hooks... But you aren't fitting this in a normal pocket. You either need cargo pants or toss them in your bag. Sound quality is actually quite great, however getting proper fit can be a bit tricky. With the Lab Edition buds you just have the buds and nothing else to position them however you want in your ears is whatever. With the Epic Sports and their ear hooks, the angle of attack can drastically affect the comfort of these and how they interact with the soft flesh of your ears. Sure the hooks are rubbery, but that doesn't mean much if they're persistently pressed against the protruding cartilage from your head. For the times that I could manage a good seal and comfortable enough fit, the sound is just great and on par with the Epic Labs. Plus you can always tune them in the JLab app and also alter the controls. I do greatly appreciate the swipe up or down to increase or lower volume which opens up other controls so you can play/pause, turn on/off anc and be aware mode and so on. I did not test the anc since it tends to give me a headache but I do enjoy the be aware setting. It isn't on par with Apple's tech but nothing else ever is, but it is serviceable in case you need to hear an announcement or a friend/coworker talking to you. I also read that trying to get LDAC is a bit of a pain, I personally have not been able to discern the difference because I don't use applications that fully take advantage of the higher bandwidth or whatever the advantage of LDAC is supposed to be. I just listen to music and videos through youtube and whatever these buds pump out is good enough for me. So at the end of the day? Wait for a sale, don't pay full price. Be wary of the size of the case and the "comfort" of the sporty ear hooks and these will work out just fine for you.

I bought these to replace a pair of Taybird Tarah earbuds, which have served me well for several years. The JLab Epic Sports earbuds stand out in these areas: excellent battery life, solid sound quality, and versatile charging options (both wired and wireless). They stay fairly secure in the ear, but I find myself adjusting them frequently—if they slip even slightly, the sound quality drops. I’ve tested all the included ear tips, so this might just be a matter of ear shape. My biggest gripe is that I haven’t been able to connect them to the JLab app to access custom EQ settings. That said, for $50 through a BestBuy daily deal, they perform well for sports and provide a reasonable value.

I bought these because i loved my previous generation jlab epic anc sports hoping they would be just as good. There is a 40 hour burn in time which seems excessive as it needs to be connected to a device for 40 hours playing designated sounds (who is going to give up sound on their phone for 40 hours?!) The sound quality and noise cancelling seemed to improve after the burn in period. Pros, the case is a massive upgrade from the previous generation as its not reliant only on 1 flexible usb cord that breaks. This case has an additonal usb-c port and wireless charging available. There is no sound bleed. Good sound quality but not best in clas Cons behind the ear pieces are pretty stiff, but not uncomfortable,( previous generation was fexible). ANC is okay, not as good as the last gen, that may improve as they get broken in.

The latest release of JLab earbuds/headphones have an overall great sound quality, comfortable fit, and a nice long battery life to reduce the number of needed charges. The buds fit well and provide nice sound while wearing and with the Active Noise Cancelling (ANC), they are quiet enough to feel like you’re in your own world at time. These over-the-ear style earbuds comfortable and come with small and large ear bud cushion options, while the medium/standard size ear fittings are pre-installed. Once you adjust the fitting to yourself, the pre-installed ones for me, they are nice and comfortable enough to wear on my daily walks and workouts while listening to music and podcasts. These are an excellent option for active users looking for good-quality sound and a secure, comfortable fit during workouts. The sound is well-balanced across various types of music, audiobooks, and podcasts. Songs that may have high bass repetition is easily noticed to even mids and high vocals across various tracks and streams. Call quality is impressive; voices are clear and sharp, making these ideal for taking calls while on the go or in the gym. During high-intensity workouts, they did not feel as though they’d fall off, while the IP66 rating offers good durability against dust, sweat, and light rain should you get caught out in it. The various ANC options may be activated during wear of only one of the earbuds. The build quality and feel of these is very good and they have USB-C charging via a built-in self-store cable or may be charged via wireless. One safety that is not always seen tied to earbuds is “volume limiting” to prevent over volume and hurting your ears The JLab app enables you to select and develop your own customized EQ settings for a sound quality that suits you. A notable feature within the app is the ability to perform a burn in on the audio drivers for the earbuds. This may be easily done as an overnight thing while you sleep and wouldn’t need the earbuds until after a full charge has been placed on them. The “Be Aware” mode is beneficial as it amplifies surrounding sounds for safety during outdoor activities. Within the JLab app customisation of touch controls can also be performed and selected. One note is regarding the touch sensitivity on the earbuds may sometimes lead unintentional changes.

I owned the first version of the JLab Epic Sport and was very satisfied with its ANC and other features. This new JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 True Earbuds is a beast. When fully charged, it packs an extensive battery life; it can last up to 52 hours without ANC and up to 42 hours with ANC (this includes case battery charge). Note that the case also functions as the earbuds' charger and extra battery for the earbuds. What is new about this JLab case is that it is now wirelessly chargeable. I have used them a lot for my high-sweat cardio workouts indoors and outdoors, so they work great in any condition and are definitely sweatproof. They fit very well around my ear and are secure in place. What I like about the ear-hooks earbuds is that I do not have to worry about dropping or losing ear peace when performing high-intensity workouts. Yes, the ear-hooks require a bit more effort to place on your ear, but once it is there, it is worry-free that they will fall off. If you are very active in your workout or whatever you do, your best bet is to use ear-hook buds. In the gym, the Active Noise Canceling (ANC) feature is a must for focusing on your music and your workout. These earbud's ANC works exceptionally well; I barely hear the noise, even in a packed gym. The controls are both swipe and tap for easy device operation. The swipe works on both sides (left and right buds) and controls the volume; swipe up raises the volume, and swipe down lowers the volume. The tap control touch sensor is on top of the earbuds on both sides. One tap is to play or pause the music. Two taps are to track forward. Three taps are for trackback. Tap+hold is for the noise control (ANC on or off). One tap is to answer calls, two taps are to hang up, and tap+hold is to reject the call. The microphone does a great job using these earbuds for calls since all my conversations have been crystal clear. I like all the features of these earbuds, but what I enjoy the most is the sound quality. Now, I can enjoy listening to my music anywhere I go and whatever I am doing. The sound is due to the product's dual drivers, which provide an audiophile listening experience. Overall, these are excellent earbuds for use anywhere and for any workout. They have a great fit, sound, and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).

I've owned the anc 1s, and 2s. These 3s are more comfortable, with better noise cancelling, and much better sound. Which is saying a lot cause the 1s and 2s sounded great. The case is much lighter and battery life has been amazing!

The Jlab EPIC Sport ANC 3 True Wireless earbuds come in a nice small package. You have 3 sets of earbud tips. These earbuds were at least half charged when I received them. Initially, I had issues connecting these to my phone via Bluetooth. I downloaded the Jlab app and there was an update for the earbuds. The Jlab earbuds worked much better after applying the update. The most recent firmware I see is v 2.9.8. After the update these pair to my phone much better. I had no more issues with connectivity. The app is very useful. There are noise control modes; an interval timer; Equalizer (I used the bass boost setting); touch controls modifications, spatial audio; auto play/pause sensors; music mode/movie mode; safe hearing and check for updates. It is worth your time to download and review/modify the settings in the app. I had no issues using the app. I registered the earbuds on the Jlab website. This gave an option for a free set of earbud tips. I selected the Cloud foam version. These were shipped promptly. These cloud foam earbud tips ended up being my favorite earbud tips. I used the earbuds for a telephone call. There were no issues making the call. I could hear the caller perfectly. The caller could hear me perfectly. I have had issues with connectivity with some earbuds. Especially when you try to connect them to more than one device. I connected these to multiple devices with no issues. The only issue I had with the Jlab earbuds was the fit. I tried all earbud tips including the cloud foam version. I could never get a tight fit no matter how much I tried. Please look at the earbuds for the correct orientation. There is an R for right and L for left on each earbud. This is the opposite of how they are stored in the case. The left earbud in the case goes into the right ear. The right earbud in the case goes into the left ear. If I hold the earbud in my ear, the sound is perfect. As they sit in the ear normally most of the bass is gone. I truly wish I could get a good fit. But with the hook they should not fall out at least. These are economical earbuds. You can spend a lot more. I do not expect much for any earbuds under $100. This would be perfect if I could get a good fit. Summary: For the price these are good earbuds. However, the fit is poor resulting in sound that is not great. There is basically no bass. Get the cloud foam earbud tips for a better fit. I would rate these 3 out of 5 stars for this reason. If the sound is not great, you may not use them very much. For under $100, they may be a good choice for you. Hopefully they fit your ears better than mine.

Comfortable earbuds that stay secure during sports and activity. Easy to use and hold a charge

I spend a great deal of time driving. I have used many different earbuds, but I have never found any that offer the most features and clarity of sound for both me and the person I am speaking to. I love the fact that I am notified well in advance that my earbuds are running out of power, which makes it way easier to change and not have downtime. Best I have ever used and hope they stay great for ever!

These work great and are comfortable in my ears. They hold a good charge and tg3e sound quality is great.

Good fit and sound quality for this purchase! Battery life is really nice.

I have bought a string of disappointing $30-40 sport earbuds; poor fit, fell off, so-so sound. When the last pair quit I decided to spend a bit more and see what I got for the money. What I got were JLab Epic Sport earbuds and I'm super glad I spent more. Great fit, great sound, not a chance these suckers are falling off running or working in the yard. Recommend!
