Customer Ratings & Reviews

The value for these earbuds are good for the price. I would like there was wireless charging capabilities.

The headphones work perfectly although i lost one of them

They work great! My walks are so pleasant with my favorite music playing.

Good product!! Exelent quality and chip go buy it !!!@

I am so glad my husband uses. Makes bedtime so much quieter

They are cheap so you get what you paid for. If placed near each other even in the box, a high frequency can be heard. Not very sharp

JLABs Gopods ANC true wireless earbuds are a reasonably priced, fully functional pair of earbuds. They are waterproof, making them perfect for workouts, runners, and everyday use. They have an excellent noise-canceling mic, so when you're commuting or in a place where you can't hear, this helps. They use a hybrid ANC noise canceling that is an active noise canceling. More sound and setup options are available using the JLABS app, including touch control setup and EQ settings. And with Bluetooth multi-point, they connect quickly to Google and virtually any other Bluetooth device. The charging cable is pre-installed as a USB-C, which is now the standard, so if you lose it, as I did, this will help a lot. There are also different-sized ear cushions included. It helps achieve a comfortable fit. It boasts a 26-hour use time. And these fit that you're pretty good. The earbuds also have outstanding sound quality, so if you need some everyday earbuds, these are the ones you might want to check out.

I very like them I bought it for my son and he really liked it

Solid, working well so far! Great for working, that's how I use them - awareness of notifications and making calls.

These are a great set of earbuds and for their price, you probably won't find a better set out there. The out of box experience was simple, they paired quickly with my Android phone. They were comfortable to wear for most of the day with no issues of them falling out at any time. It comes with 3 different sizes of tips so you can find the best size for your ears.The ANC, active noise cancelling, worked well in everyday use, you can also turn off the ANC, and there is also a Be Aware option to allow more ambient sound to come through. This is great when out in public and need to be aware of your surroundings. The app allows you to fine tune them to your preferences. The sound quality while listening to music and pod casts was great. The case is small and charges the pods when not in use like other brands. The case is a little different than the others as it has a built in USB C cable that is a couple of inches long. It is not typical of the other cases, but it does allow you to plug it directly into a laptop or a charger and not have to find a cable. As always, JLab delivers a great product for a great price.

The sound quality isn't very good but good enough for the price we pay. The casing looks very plastic. Overall good buy for the money we pay

I don't think JLAB is one of the first brands people tend to think of when looking for earbuds, which can sometimes lead to them getting overlooked. This is, in my opinion, a shame, as they do offer some endearingly rugged and capable products at a very affordable price point. The Go Pods ANC are no exception to that and I think could be a very good pick for your next daily drivers. First, let's talk about what I liked. The earbuds and their case make very good use of the volume they have to work with, producing a very compact package that's one of the smaller charging cases I've come across. It also features an integral charging cable, making it very convenient to carry around in your pocket or throw in your bag without having to worry about bringing along any supporting parts. The earbuds themselves fit in your ear well and (provided you fit the right size ear cushions) didn't dislodge themselves while I was walking around or engaging in moderate exercise. The noise cancellation is also very capable. Due to some sinus issues I often find that high end noise cancellation can actually end up being uncomfortable after a while as it can create uncomfortable pressure zones inside my ear if they're blocking out everything, while cheaper noise cancellation options just don't do anything to reduce ambient noise. These strike a pretty decent middle ground - countering most of the annoying every day industrial noises produced by air conditioners or car engines without exposing you to too much pressure. I don't know that they'd be my first pick for something like flying, where I think the sheer volume of the sound might overwhelm the earbuds, but to be fair there aren't many earbuds I've found that can compete with over the ear options in that arena either. And battery is also excellent. The package states it can manage over twenty six hours between charges and while I can't say for sure how long mine lasted, they have currently managed to go almost a week on a single charge. There are a few drawbacks I should point out, though. The sound is a bit weak in the lower ranges, particularly with the noise cancellation active. I mostly use earbuds to listen to audiobooks, podcasts, and other spoken word content so this wasn't really a problem for me but I imagine that a lot of people who listen to more music than me might be a bit disappointed. I also wasn't too impressed by the passthrough option. While it does the job of keeping you aware of what's going on around you the audio you get from it has a synthetic quality that's pretty hard to ignore, and it is usually present regardless of what ambient audio levels are like. As such I found myself generally just pulling out one of the earbuds to leave one ear free rather than messing with it. Even with those warts though, I am very hard pressed to think of another option that can give you the same price to performance ratio these do. And unlike some of the more expensive out there, if you do happen to shake one out on a trail or in the gym and lose it, replacing it is no big deal. This makes it a very easy recommendation for me for anyone who just needs something that'll work and maybe doesn't have the greatest track record when it comes to keeping full sets of earbuds.

Excellent I work out at the gym I also use them for walking

Good value, but you get what you pay for with these.

They don't stay fit right on your ear that keep popping out your ears

I've been using these earbuds for a couple weeks and am overall very impressed with them. Then I remember the price and am amazed at how good they are. I have a couple premium earbuds from major brands that are a few years old. I believe one of them cost 10x what these ones did when new. These earbuds sound amazingly close to those premium earbuds. These earbuds connect easily and when you turn them on they clearly and at a reasonable volume tell you their connected and the charge level. Most of my earbuds info voice is so quite they're difficult to hear. The sound it nice and crisp. They do not have as much base as the more premium models but again for the price I would never demand that. These have great overall sound especially for the price. The app is very clear and easy to adjust any settings on the earbuds. It's honestly one of the best audio apps I've used for earbuds/headphones. The battery life is great. I honestly haven't run them down yet and I normally have them in for most of a workday with a little charging at lunch. The noise cancelling is great. It knocks out most of the noise and honestly makes it very difficult to hear anyone talking. None of my other earbuds are that effective. My only complaint with it is when I use them in noise cancelling around my power tools if the sound overwhelms the earbuds they crackle pretty loudly. My other earbuds must filter that out because they aren't as quiet overall but they don't have any loud moments. The case is nicely designed and holds the earbuds securely. It's very small and convenient and the lid shuts very securely. My one thing I haven't decided if I like or don't like is that the case charges with a built in USBc cable. This means you have to plug it into a charger or laptop to charge. All my other cases just have a USBc port so I can just charge them with my phone charger. It's not the end of the world but surprisingly it's not as convenient to have the cable built in. Overall this is a very good set of earbuds. I would recommend them even overlooking the noise cancelling crackle and I hope they can fix that with an update. Add in the price of these and I would say it's a no brainer. They are an amazing value for the price.

I have far, far too many true wireless earbuds — from flagship ones to surprise bargain bin shots — so I have a general sense of the state of the field. The JLab Go-Pods ANC True Wireless Earbuds are what I’d consider a solid middle-of-the-road choice. They’re not best-in-class, in my opinion — if you’re accustomed to the soundstage and tuning of something like the Sony WF series or Sennheiser Momentum, you’ll notice immediately they’re a tier or two down from there. But for the price, they actually hit above their weight. Its active noise cancellation is impressively effective at cutting noise in everyday situations, like commuting or working in a cafe, but it falters a little in noisier environments. The transparency mode is okay, but doesn't feel super natural — it serves its purpose but nothing to write home about. The battery life is impressive at a stated 26+ hours but your mileage may vary, and I like the wireless charging and the IP55 water resistance, which makes them gym and rain friendly. The fit is comfortable and secure and the touch controls work well once you learn how to use them. Soundwise, they’re tuned for the mass market — boosted bass and crisp highs, but a tad muddy in the mids. The point: they’re not audiophile quality, but they have a lot of features for the money and are phenomenal as a backup or travel set.

I tried these earbuds for a few weeks. They're comfortable and light. I wore them for hours without my ears hurting. The noise canceling works pretty decent. It blocks out fan noises and people talking nearby, but not everything. The sound is of great quality. The bass is strong but not too much. Highs are clear. I like how guitars and cymbals sound. The app lets you change the sound if you want. Calls are fine indoors but not great outside. People said they heard wind and traffic when I talked. There's a small hiss when noise canceling is on in quiet rooms. touch controls work but I sometimes paused music by accident. The battery lasts long enough for my workday. the case is small and easy to carry. i use these most days now. they're good for music and blocking noise at work. not perfect, but they do the job well. if you want simple earbuds that work, these are worth trying. final thoughts: comfortable, good sound, decent noise cancelling. calls could be better. works for daily use.

I was looking for a good pair of active noise cancelling earbuds on a budget, and I came across these JLAB Go Pods ANC. I use them with a Samsung Galaxy Fold 6, and overall, I am very satisfied with these given the excellent price. I have used several other active noise cancelling earbuds and headphones, and I have used other JLAB products, so my expectations were fairly high. My first impression when unboxing these JLAB earbuds was a positive one. The case is small enough and shaped smoothly so it easily fits in any pocket. It does feel a bit flimsier than Apple or Bose earbud cases, but it’s nothing that would keep me from buying them. As is typical of this style case, it has a flip-open top and a button that is used for resetting and them. Pairing is easy, though they only support one device. The case holds the earbuds in place magnetically, so they won’t go tumbling out if the case is opened inadvertently. Instead of a USB-C port on the case, it has a built-in cord with a USB-C plug on it. It’s only about two inches long, but folds neatly into the case. I still haven’t decided if I like this or not. It means that the case has to be within two inches of the charging port, which can be a bit annoying. I travel with a multi-headed USB cord, so this won’t work – I’ll need to carry another charger with a USB-C port (which is NOT included with the JLAB Go Pods), or a C-to-C plug adapter. On a positive note, I can also plug this into my phone or laptop to charge with no need to carry an extra cable. The case does not support wireless charging (which is no surprise at this price point). The JLAB Go Pods come with three sets of earpieces in various sizes so most people will find a good fit. Unlike some earbuds, these are dependent on an air-tight fit for the ANC to work. The controls are very simple with a single touch-sensitive button on each bud. Learning what the various taps do is simple and quickly becomes intuitive. Inserting the buds will give you a voice announcement of battery level and pairing status. Speaking of the battery level, these claim over 7 hours of capacity, and my informal testing proves that. The case holds enough power to recharge the buds about 3 times. The sound quality of these is acceptable, but best with ANC on. There are three modes: ANC on, ANC off, and “Be Aware”. With ANC off, the sound quality is a bit “tinny” and lacks any real bass. Ambient sounds come through easily, even with the buds tightly sealed in my ears. With ANC on, most all “noisy” ambient sounds are well muted. Sounds from things like fans, engines, wind, etc. are well controlled. Other sharper or “clicking” sounds are no so well masked. For example, keyboard typing sounds come through clearly. Background audio like from a radio or TV is reasonably well muted. With the “Be Aware” mode activated, it uses the built-in mics to let some sounds come through, which results in a continual but faint white noise sound. Speaking of the microphones, they are a weak point. Using the JLAP Go Pods for phone calls will annoy the person on the other end as it sounds very much like you are on a speakerphone or in a well. As for music, these work well in ANC mode offering plenty of bass, though if you are used to more expensive buds or over-the-ear headphones, you’ll be slightly disappoionted. The JLAB app for Android is easy to use and includes an EQ to help tailor the sound. I assume the iPhone app would work similarly well. Overall, these are a good set of entry-level, value-priced earbuds with ANC. They are easy to setup and use, and the sound quality is good enough for most people. I do recommend them because to get anything better, you’ll have to spend at least three times as much.

So this is a first for me. Not a lot of good things to say about these. They sound ok with a bit of tweaking with the EQ settings. I'll start with the good things I like about them. They are lightweight, look good and have a nice run time from my use of them (I got about 8 hours with the volume around 60 percent). Easy to pocket these in the case. I like that they incorporated the cable into the case and it is very short. About two inches long and it has a USB-C end on it so it should be compatible with most chargers and easy to top off from many current laptops and desktops. The noise cancelling aspect of these works pretty good once you find the right setting in the app. Make sure you configure them in the app on a phone or tablet before you try and use these with anything else. Yes, it has multipoint connection but it is a pain in the rear to setup properly which leads to my negatives. The sound quality is so-so to my ears. When I called someone with them on they were not thrilled with the quality of the call on either my phone or laptop during a video call. My main gripe is the way it makes you connect to your devices with their app. Was not fun. Connect your phone or tablet (whichever has the app installed) first and follow the instructions to do the multipoint connection to anything other than a cellphone or tablet. The fit in my ears is okay. I have small ears so I tend to not like most earbuds anyway. Even with the optional tips. Not a bad set of headphones but in my opinion they could be better. Maybe a firmware update will help with the connection issue.
