Customer Ratings & Reviews

The slightest bit of water and headphones died. Don’t waste your money, bought better headphones for 10 dollars at a gas station.

When I finally got around to trying them they did not work very dissatisfied ,but I did not have receipt ( could not return)

They did not last long. I was hoping that this pair would hold up but they quickly had background noise when using them.

I purchased these earbuds for running. They worked great for a month but now they will not charge fully. Sending them back.

A few years ago, I got a pair of no-name Bluetooth earbuds, just to try them out. I wasn't convinced that Bluetooth could reliably deliver good quality sound and provide decent battery life in such a small package. Well, I was wrong, and those cheap buds are still going strong. So, when it came time to get a new pair, they would be the benchmark against which any new buds would be compared. The JLab Epic Sport came nicely packaged, with lots of extra tips in different sizes, as well as a nice zippered case, which turned out to be a bit of a hassle to use. They also included different sizes of "cush fins". More on these later. The Epic Sport buds are marketed to active people, so one of the main features is that they stay in your ears during activities. There's nothing more annoying that having to repeatedly push your ear buds back in, so I was anxious to see how these would measure up. They accomplish this through the use of "memory wires" that go around behind your ears. These can be bent to fit the shape of your ears. I really like this idea, but it doesn't play out as well as I'd like. The wire is more difficult to position than I would like and trying to get it to the right shape while on my ears caused my ears to get irritated. Eventually, I got it to where I liked it, but taking them off and putting them back on seems to bend the wires away from the shape I set. So, I generally just go for "close enough". Using other buds while running often resulted in a weird sort of air-pressure percussion sound in my ears, which was pretty unpleasant and distracting. This happens when the buds form a seal in the ear canal. As you run, air pushes out, creating this sound. This is a bit of a catch-22, because a good seal is necessary to get any kind of bass response from your ear buds, but it is that seal that causes the problem. The Epic Sport buds are held by the wires at a particular angle, preventing you from pushing them far enough into your ear canals to get such a seal. Again, this is a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that, without a tight seal, you don't have to deal with that annoying sound. The curse is that this prevents these buds from having any good bass sound. Speaking of the seal, it's vitally important that ear buds provide a good seal in the ear canal or you won't be happy with the sound. Fortunately, JLab provides lots of tips, and even a couple different styles. Because they're held a little farther up the ear canal, I needed to use the largest tips to get decent results. The cush fins I mentioned earlier perform the same sort of function, but in the outer ear instead of the ear canal. These are very important to get a good fit, so don't ignore them, thinking they're just decorations. These ear buds do a good job of handling ambient wind noise, and they do indeed stay put while running. There is a small control bar that dangles just behind your right ear, and this contains the on/off/pause button, as well as volume up/down buttons, which also serve to allow you to skip forward and backward in the track listing. A thin wire connects to the other ear bud, and it seems to work best to put the wire around the back of your neck. I was impressed with how this wire stays out of your way and does not become a distraction. They did a really good job with this. I think the thinness of the wire is crucial—larger or flat wires just get in the way. Battery life is quite good, and a quick rinse in the shower after a run was easily handled by these buds. They're pretty comfortable and wearing them for several hours straight was no problem. All in all, I think these did a very good job at fulfilling their intended purpose. I definitely liked the JLab Epic Sport ear buds, but there were two areas that, if improved, would put these over the top: I wish they were just a little more comfortable, and I'd like to see the overall sound signature be a little better. They're a little light on bass, and that makes a big difference. Experimenting with the rubber tips and cush fins helped somewhat, but I could never get it quite "right". For most uses, I think you'll be pleased with these, but if you have the opportunity, compare them to some others, especially those who approach the way they fit in a different manner.

This item broke the second day of owning it. Definitely won’t buy from this brand again.

Painful toplace in ears. Returned to store for return, purchased a different set of headphones.

not "small ear" friendly. i tried all 'attachments" they did nada. hurt my ears. gave up bought cheapies.

Product would not charge after many attempts. Finally had to take product back to store.

They won’t charge past medium battery. The sound is thin, but not much expected for inexpensive earbuds.

These are not sweat proof terrible once you get a drop of sweat in your ears they crap out

The JLAB Epic Sport Wireless Earbuds are a nice addition to my portable listening experience. They Pair via Bluetooth extremely easy. All I had to do was to press the play/pause/answer/hang up button for eight seconds and wait for the blinking red and blue light to change into a slow blue blinking light. By tapping the name Jlab Epic Sport inside my device settings, I finalized the connection. Once connected, I can control Equalizer modes, volume up and down,track forward and backward, play/pause/answer and hang up all from three buttons on the control panel. The charging device is universal for all USB inputs. I have a clamp to adjust the fit of the wire and to secure the Earbuds to my shirt. I have three equalizer modes (signature, balanced, and bass boost) that enhances to music to my own peticular desires. They also answer phone calls clearly without distortion. My only complaint with the JLAB Epic Sport Wireless Earbuds is the bending of the memory wire to fit snuggly around my ear. Everytime I try to bend them to fit tightly around my ear, they spring back almost to their original position. Besides that the JLAB Epic Sport Wireless Earbuds are dynamic and a pleasure to own.

I recently purchased these headphones to replace a popular brand headphones as they wouldn’t hold a charge. I looked at many headphones and settled on these due to the reviews and the over the ear headphone so I felt obligated to add a review. These are great headphones. I use them for running and working out and couldn’t be more satisfied. The sound is great, they are light weight, the sizing options are great so you have a great fitting earphone, easy to use/great operating options (start/stop, volume, skip/repeat), and the battery lasts. I’ve already recommended to a friend who is training for a marathon.

First time at gym it worked great. By the next time it would not power on. Returned it for refund.

They did not stay on and the charger went out almost immediately.

I didn't even have for a month and the left ear quit working.

product doesn't stay flush in ears..so bad sound, fall out..bad product all around

The set charged but didn't turn on. Very disappointing

I was looking for earbuds to wear when I go roller skating, and these are perfect! I bought them on clearance, I would not pay full price, I don’t think they’re worth $100, but for $35 I’ll give them a shot! It came partially charged, I charged it for a couple more hours and then hit the road. The options to adjust the fit of the buds are pretty awesome. They’re pretty good at blocking out noise, which is nice. The cinch in the back is nice if you don’t want cords in your way. It doesn’t seem super durable so I’ll have to handle with care, but the size is perfect for using when I workout, exactly what I was looking for. I haven’t had them long enough to judge the battery life, but all good things do come to an end eventually. I think the two cons I’ve come across so far are 1. the charging port is a little meh. I mean it’s like two magnetic rectangles and it connects and it’s easy to transport, but the magnetic connection of the two cords while charging isn’t strong so it can disconnect easily if tugged. I’m not sure if that would bother others. 2. Bluetooth range is not that strong. I live in a culdesac, it’s not a huge one, but I left my cell phone on the sidewalk and had my earbuds connected and when I got maybe 20 feet away it started losing connection. I have other brands of wireless Bluetooth headphones that can reach from inside my house to my car so I was a little disappointed about the range of this headset. That problem was solved with my workout arm band or I can wear my fanny pack. I would recommend this headset if you can snag them on sale, but I don’t think they’re worth more than $40.

Very uncomfortable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
