Customer Ratings & Reviews

Surprisingly these were really good and many of the features felt very premium for the price. They have quite a long battery life for their value and the sound quality was pretty clear and strong for their size. The other premium feature that should be shown on the front of the box is that it comes with multiple sizes ear fittings making it easier to find the right fit. I bought them expecting the worst and instead they beat every expectation I had.

I saw JLab was releasing a transparent line of earbuds, the JLab Go Pods ANC Transparent that were a trip back to the 90’s nostalgia of transparent electronic plastic like the N64 controllers and iMac computers! I decided to pickup a pair, as I just sent my last set of JLabs through the wash for 1 too many times. Pros: - Good sound for Price. - Small Case. - 90’s Transparent Electronic nostalgia. Cons: - ANC doesn’t work well. - Cable attached to Case is concerning. Pairing & Software: I really like JLabs because of how easy it is to pair their earbuds; I’ve never had an issue. The Go Pop ANC were no exception. As soon as I opened the case, my phone detected the earbuds, and I was able to pair them without issue. The JLAB software is just as simple to use as the pairing. Just select your earbud model to see the current charge details and settings. For the Go Pop ANC there are Noise Control Modes which enables Active Noise Canceling (ANC) or Be Aware mode. There is an Equalizer mode with 3 presets: JLab Signature, Balanced, and Bass Boost, plus a Custom balance for saving your own preferred profile. One of my favorite parts about JLab earbuds is the customization of the touch controls, each earbud can have 4 preset touch actions, for a total of 8 controls. These can be swapped around based on a preset list of actions, it would be nice to see the ability to open a select application or custom actions, but I found the current list of actions fit most of my use cases. Beyond that, the software allows you to switch between Music or Movie Mode, set the Safe Hearing limit to prevent hearing loss, and check for updates. There’s not a ton of settings, but just enough to cover all the uses for a normal user. This is a solid set of budget earbuds. Look & Feel: JLAB nailed the 90’s transparent electronics nostalgia looks and feel with the Go Pop ANC Earbuds. These have that transparent matte plastic look and feel, with the little LED lights shining through when charging. I always liked the cool transparent electronics, my first Gameboy color was that transparent purple one, it’s just cool to see it come back around! My only complaint is the design decision to attach a short charging cable to the earbuds instead of included a charging port. When the cable inevitably breaks, then you will not be able to charge the earbud case. At least it is a USB-C plug, but I would have preferred a plug instead of a built-in cable. Sound & Mic Quality: I’m going to first say that JLAB has been dominating the budget earbud range, I cannot even think of another brand that compares. The Go Pop ANC True Wireless Earbuds are right in that range with a MSRP of $35.99, but as of now are currently on sale for $29.99! Keeping in mind the price range of these earbuds, the sound quality is pretty good. These earbuds deliver plenty of sound, keeping it balanced and not distorting the sound at higher volumes. If you enable the Safe Hearing mode, you might find the sound of the earbuds to be below what you’d like but keep in mind that is by design. The Mic quality was surprisingly good, I was able to talk and be heard when in noisy environments or when talking softly with background noise. The Go Pop ANC were not great at cutting out the background noise but were still able to pickup my voice in most situations well enough for the other side of the call to hear me. ANC & Aware Mode: For the fact that the JLab Go Pop ANC have ANC in their name, you’d expect it to be a main feature. Unfortunately, the ANC is barely functional. At best it cuts down on the outside noise, muffling loud sounds and cutting out soft static noises like the hum of an electronic device. But overall, the Go Pop ANC doesn’t work well for ANC. The Be Aware mode works well, letting in the background noise so you can be aware of your surroundings. I found the Be Aware mode was much more noticeable of a difference than the ANC or ANC off. Conclusion: If you’re expecting amazing ANC from the JLab Go Pop ANC, I’ve got some bad news for you. But if you’re just looking for a good pair of affordable earbuds that can crank out some good sounding tunes and take a call without issue, these are a great option. I’ll always keep a pair of JLabs around the house, or 2, and continue to recommend them as a solid earbud option!

These earbuds are great, but definitely not noise cancelling. They are very comfortable. You get 3 sizes of buds to choose from for comfort. The sound is very clear.

My favorite. I was skeptical to get more earbuds because I have long hair which always pulls out my earbuds, typically. Well these are small & mighty. Great sound. The charger box isn't clunky. There's so much to the little earbuds. The sound is great. You can install an app & switch between 3 types of usage, like work, walking running, etc. love the color as well. These stay put. Excellent for the price.

Small compact came out the box charged I use them when I walk or exercise Joan makes quality ear buds I love these and the color pops ❤️. Battery life lasts long and connecting was way to do.

Bought these for wife for Cmas. Loves them battery life is perfect for what she needs and she loves how they are compact and easy to travel with. She likes that she can use just one for when at work or running errands. Over good sound qaulity, battery is sufficient and was a great gift.

Purchased for my daughter. She loves the color and the light effects of the case. The fit and sound quality are good for children.

Wireless? Check. Charges with USB-C? Check. Purple? Check. Earbuds? Check. This is exactly what I have been looking for as someone who prefers over ear headphones to earbuds. They fit in my ear and don't hurt, the sound quality is great too!!

These connect quickly to multiple devices, great sound qualit for the price and they are comfortable. Great value for the price of the product.

Good sound. No connection issues. I had a small problem with them not staying in tightly, but after changing to the larger rubber covers (included), the problem was solved. Very happy with them for what I need them for.

Surprisingly good for that price. Fit my ears pretty well not snug but didn’t fall off. Only thing to gripe about is the controls. Wasn’t too intuitive and sometimes results were not what I intended. Sound is very decent. Though the stay alert mode was not much different from no ANC mode.

Is very good . And the sound quality . It easy to use . And the battery lasts longer. I like it . Is better than any bollot

As someone who is a Beats loyalist, these are my favorite brand of headphones/earbuds. They are just as good as Beats if not better as far as sound quality, battery life and mic. The mic picks up everything when talking on the phone, even sounds way off in the distance yet the calls are crystal clear. I will never stop buying these and hope they never discontinue them.

Easy to pair with different devices, good quality for phone calls, and listening to music, good battery life. Just a bit uncomfortable to wear for a long time.

Easily connects to my phone. Comfortable. Good sound.

For the price, these are really good earbuds. Very good sound and they connected to the phone almost instantly. Might not be as good as somer higher end models, but for the price they are great.

Good battery life and sound quality. Not the most comfortable fit even after switching out the ear pieces. Great for the price!

These headphones work perfectly and I’m very happy with my purchase. The sound quality is clear and well-balanced, and they connect quickly without any issues. They’re comfortable to wear for long periods and stay in place, which is a big plus. The battery life is also great and lasts longer than I expected. Overall, these are reliable, high-quality headphones and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a solid pair.

Good battery life Good fit and sound quality Good value

In my opinion there are some products or items you just KNOW work, as in you don’t think about quality outside of the minute detail of slightly cooler color or a little bit better quality. For me, earbuds are one of those since I generally listen to 75% podcasts or audiobooks and then a little bit of music where sound quality matters. Looking at the JLab Go Pods I was most excited about the translucent purple color, of course they would work but they would look SO COOL doing it! Boy was I wrong. The box arrived and the process of carefully removing the tape to remove the buds was difficult to say the least and I ended up shredding the box. Once free the contents of the box are the two buds inside the charging case, some instructions/fine print paperwork, and size options for the earbud tips. I admired the semi-clear case then popped the lid and took the buds out to test the pre-installed size of the tips. They are a little bulky for earbuds but not obscenely so however the tips that were installed felt too big in my ear. I removed the first tip and attempted to fit a smaller one on for comparison, a task which I’ve done countless times before replacing or sizing different buds over the years of earbud use. Changing the JLabs Go tips is a feat of grueling effort and heroic effort to succeed at. It felt to me like the plastic bud was slightly too large to fit in the semi-firm rubber tip’s mounting hole. In other earbuds I’ve been able to start at an angle and press down until the rubber “pops” onto the earbud, but in this case even getting it started wasn’t helpful as soon as you press it pops loose and goes to the side. Eventually I got the smaller tip installed and decided it was a little too small but I wasn’t about to go through the tip exchange process again so soon, I popped the earbud in to test the sound. I was then disappointed by the sound level, it was very low to the point I assumed my phone had the bluetooth volume down too low until I checked. I took the to work for a real world test. Part of me wondered if maybe they had some kind of noise adjustment technology so they turn up louder in a louder environment but instead I found they are just low even at max volume for maximum frustration in a noisy environment. OK, there is one single bright spot besides the retro 90s translucent and bright color. There is no charging cable included in the box because the charging case has a built-in USB-C charging cable that folds and tucks into the bottom. What a great feature! I charged them overnight and they’re supposed to work for 17 hours or more, I know they worked for the four hours I used them at work but I didn’t run the battery out because there’s nothing else about these I can recommend. Your top reason to buy earbuds is to get good sound on the go without wires but the sound quality here is just abysmal! Its always nice having options for a comfortable fit but the earbud tips are incredibly frustrating to swap out. Really that’s the most important thing, if your earbuds don’t sound good and aren’t easy to use comfortably they’re a failed product and sadly that’s what happened in this case. Please find something else and avoid the let down of these earbuds.
