So I got these earbuds couple days ago and they are amazing. They fit well in my ears and sound really well. Battery life is amazing with these buds too. My only problem with these is how low it sounds compare to the other wireless earbuds I had when it's in full volume. They sound great but not loud enough. I'm not sure if it's something I have to fix in the sounds settings on my S10+ or the EQ settings. But whatever it is, I'll fix it later to make it sound louder. Other than that, these wireless earbuds are amazing and I recommend it if you're not interested in buying a $100+ wireless earbuds.

So here I am. Since Aug-2019, I am trying good earbuds under $50. I don’t wanna spend a fortune for apple earpods. I have used like 10-12 earbuds ( JBL 120, Free, those Chinese ones, even Jabra), but hands down, this is I found best so far that too under 50 bucks. I got it at $30 in BF sale.
Cons I did not find so far, Pros
1- Fits good if not perfect. You need to change the tip, large fits me
2- Sound-wise, select the JLAB signature. It's best. You can change the setting by clicking 3 times on any earbuds. The bass mode in JBL is still best though
3- Though buds are a bit hard to press, but it works every time unline somewhere you don’t even know what you are doing
4- Battery, woohoo, what I tell about it – I am using it for 1 month and the battery still says “high”. Use time – 10-20 mins per day average
5- Every time it says, ‘connected’, battery status unlike big brand
I can go on and on. In short, BEST among a lot
also, Download manual from the JBL site. the best buy has outdated

Fantastic alternative to Airpods.

Tl;dr: The Jbuds are a must buy if you're looking for an affordable alternative to Apple Airpods while still maintaining good sound quality. They are comfortable/secure in the ear, and possess a decent charge time/battery life. My only nitpick when it comes to these earbuds is the button function inputs - it took a while for me to learn, and even then I find it easier to use my phone to pause/skip songs than the buds's buttons.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Price:
This is the Jbuds' biggest draw. Most of its competitors go for $100+ retail, but the Jbuds are sold for a fair $50. Heck, I was lucky enough to nab it for $30 during Best Buy's Black Friday sale week. It's an absolute steal and a great investment.
Sound:
While nothing worthy of praise, the Jbuds' sound quality is slightly better than the pair of headphones that likely came packaged with your smartphone. There are 3 equalizer options to cycle through - Balanced, Bass Boost, and JLab Signature. I found Balanced to be the worst of the three, it made most of my music sound washed out, however Bass Boost & Signature really brought out the best in my music library. Genre of music definitely matters when picking an equalizer, so you'll have to play around to match your preferences.
Comfort:
This comes packaged with 3 ear rubber ear tips of varying sizes and 2 rubber cushions to make it more comfortable and fitting in your ear. They remain in my ear while I workout and I do not feel any discomfort during the 2 hours I have them on each session. The only nitpick one may have with these is that they might be clunky to some people.
Battery Life:
Thankfully, these come with a pill shaped charging case that can juice your earbuds for 14 hours on full charge. The earbuds themselves last around 4 hours of consistent use, and since you have to pop them back in the case, they're almost always at full charge. So essentially, I've only had to charge the case once a week on average.
Accessibility:
Pairing the earbuds to your phone is a piece of cake. However, the button functions can take a while to get used to. For example, to play or pause a song, you need to double click the button on the LEFT earbud. If you do it on the right earbud, it activates Siri on an iPhone. While double clicking a button on a typical headphone would probably skip the song. It's a minor nitpick not a flaw, so don't let that discourage you from this product.

Ok! So, what can you say about earbuds that have a great sound, easy to use features, and the price is under $60? The only thing is... where can I buy some. I’m always looking for the best quality at an affordable price and time and money is valuable to me. When I was researching for a pair these popped up. Yes, I’m one of those who google, check reviews, and even compare prices & features. I’ve had these earbuds for a while now and they do have some pros and a con.
The Pros: price is affordable, great sound, background noise is cancelled when you have both earbuds on, you can hear the bass in some songs, easy to recharge earbuds in case, easy to recharge case with basic usb charger, easy to carry, small enough to fit case in pocket, fast charging, sweat proof.
The Con: 3 hrs of play. ( but, you can recharge up to 5 times before you have to recharge case)
Other then that one con, I’m satisfied. You can’t go wrong with these earbuds. Give them a try!

This is best cheaper alternative to high-quality true wireless earphones/buds. Great sound(inc. bass)comparable to Beats ear buds and I recommend the JLAB Signature EQ, good battery life although not as long-lasting as my Powerbeats3, stays in my ears really well and surprisingly stays in comfortably when laying on my side, blocks out lots of noises thanks to optional cush fins while maintaining sensible safety for yourself when outside, great charging process(the proprietary charger cable plugs into a regular USB charge brick and JLab recommends 5v/1A such as the measly iPhone charger..glad I have tons of those hahah), seamless operation- automatically turns off when inserting in the charge case and turns on when taken out and you're able to control everything from it unlike the Airpods Pro. You can also manually turn it off if you don't intend to charge right away. I may have missed the rest of the pros that I actually meant to say lol. As for the cons, there are a few so far...the charger case is a bit slippery due to its use of cheap plastic, they look goofy at first but looks alright afterwards and it makes weird squeaking noise when adjusting in your ears(after I switched to the large cushion tips) With regards to the the range and quality of phone calls, still need to further use these to judge.
Overall, I'd highly recommend these for fellow budget-minded folks out there.

Truly Wireless with Charging Case, Under $50!!

Truly Wireless Earbuds! Been using over a year & they are still going strong! Great sound, bought these for our teenage son initially and he loved them. We’ve bought so many different types of earbuds over the years & must say these are probably the best wireless earbuds we’ve found for under $50! You simply cannot beat this price point for true wireless earbuds with EQ & charging case. Teen son uses used daily & liked because stayed in place. He has since upgraded his device, he’s a gamer.
I’ve been using these for over a year now so I can confirm earbuds stay in place & no issues with buds getting loose or falling out, even after wearing few hours. Earbuds appear a little bulky but for under $50, these are the best wireless buds. Yes they are plastic but that is also what makes them so durable. Buds stay firmly in place when worn with included Cush Fins. JLab provides 2 pairs to combine with 3 varying ear tip sizes to create the perfect individual fit for 99% of users. Earbuds are IP55-certified so can withstand sweat or a minor spill, just don’t submerge them.
Features include Bluetooth 5.0, 8mm drivers, Auto on & Auto Connect, Earbud Controls…There are 3 EQ settings without needing software or app.
Only one minor drawback some users will have is batteries only last 3-4 hours before needing to recharge. However you can wear 1 bud while other charging so you can still use earbuds. Personally I rarely wear that long at one time so while it’s not a drawback for myself, I felt I should include info in my review.
Granted you can balance this drawback with the 500 mAh charging case that comes with Earbuds. The charging case is really small, easy to pocket, and the integrated charging solution is handy. So you get about 10 hours extra battery life with case!
Sound is well balanced. Noise isolation is pretty good as well. These aren’t noise cancelling, but turning up the volume at a reasonable level & you are isolated fairly well.
Overall, for the price point, you cannot go wrong with these earbuds. The JBuds Air are simply the best sounding true-wireless headphones I’ve used at this price point!
There are more expensive true-wireless headphones that sound a bit better, but they’re also four or five more times expensive.
Quick Info:
Adjust volume down: Left bud 1 click
Adjust volume up: Right bud 1 click
Track back: Left bud press and hold for 1 sec
Track forward: Right bud press and hold for 1 sec
Play/Pause: Left bud 2 clicks
Siri/Google Assistant: Right bud 2 clicks
EQ Settings: Left or right bud 3 clicks will cycle through 3 presets.
Buy these, you won’t be disappointed for the money you invest.

I really like these headphones. Music sounds great, they stay in my ears when running, they stay charged for the listed amount of time, they look really nice. The only complaint is phone calls: people on the other end have a hard time hearing me. Multiple people have told me this so I know it’s on my end. For the price, I’d still recommend them for exercise/ individual listening but if you need them for phone calls, look elsewhere.

Built-in USB charger

For less than $50, this product is definitely a great buy! I like that the USB charger is built-in cos I don't have to bring another cable with me. It's not that big of a deal since cables are not heavy but it's annoying if I forget it and need to use it, so I really like that feature. The only problem I had was when I initially charged it, I apparently did not secure the earpieces to the case and it did not charge the whole night. -_- Before closing the case, the blue light on the earpieces have to blink first to indicate that it is charging. Other than that, I really like this product. Good sound quality, the battery lasts a long time and the earpieces don't fall off my ear. Does it's job for a really good price!

Super impressed and love these overall. True immersive sound and decent bass surprisingly from an in-ear bud. Would be 5 stars but doesn't always respond to taps for pausing or changing volume. The adjustable in-ear fins for fit made these stay in my ear nice and snug.
The charging case is awesome and fits in all my pockets so they're always charged. Built in usb cord to case means no searching, it's always there.

These JLab JBuds air are great. When I have them on I barely feel them on. They do not slip off or do I have to keep adjusting them in the ear. I bought a pair for my wife and she loves them too. The only CON I have is that if you want to change to next song you have to press and hold right speaker and sometimes it presses on the ear and it hurts a little. Other than that the sound is awesome. I listen to reggaeton & hip hop and the bass is just right.

For the price they are very good earbuds. The tap function at times can be difficult, but it's not a deal breaker. They aren't too big and haven't fallen out of my ear. I can hear clearly during a call and haven't had anyone complain that I wasn't clear during a call. I love the 3 different sound settings and the bass is good. The battery lasts with minimal usage about 2 days. The case is very compact, easy to carry in a purse or small bags. Overall good quality earbuds for a low price!!

I paid $29.99 for these on sale at Best Buy. I was sceptical because I have SOOOO many pairs of earbuds and they always die after an hour or two. These babies are great. The fit is perfect. You can shake your head and they don't even budge. I have only charged mine once and I still have half battery life. Highly recommend.

Sound quality isn't all there I get high frequency hissing when listening to some music at high volume. Build quality is excellent. I love the fact that they pair up to my device even before I pop em in my ears. The battery life is great and for how much they cost I think they do sound decent. However, They are lacking a little bit in the low range frequencies but overall I am pleased.

JLab are, in my opinion, the king's of low-cost; high performance audio products. These cost only $50 and for that price you can't complain about the feature set you get here...
+Water Resistance
+In-ear Volume Control
+Google Assistant/Siri
+Great Great Battery Life
+Exceptional Sound
After an hour or so my ears did get tired of them but your milage may vary. There are 3 EQ options built into the buds and you can cycle through with a push button command. I recommend "Signature", or "Bass Boost" also these earbuds benefit from you setting your own eq. On my Note 9 I can control a custom EQ on top of what the buds have built in. And yes there's de-sync, or lag, when watching video content.
All in All a great package. I really don't understand the people who keep waiting and waiting for to get Airpods when these are readily available at a literal fraction of the price with most features in-tact and some even surpassing them.

I have 2 pairs of Bluetooth headphones one has a wire that goes around the back of my head, and these. I bought the jlabs in hope I can finally be fully wire free. The sound is amazing they work great with my phone as well, I use them when running and mowing never fall out I haven’t had to readjust them or anything.
If you can check them before you leave the store though I live 45 mins from Best Buy and the first one I bought had a faulty case. The 2nd ones were perfect. But that goes with any electronic, Best Buy was so great about it and I got a great working earbuds for exactly what I wanted and need!

Best True Wireless earbuds under $50

This is my third pair of true wireless earbuds and my favorite so far. The included rubber sleeves (cush fins) really do a good job holding them in your ears. I put them in and give them a quarter turn and they make a good seal that even provides quite a bit of noise isolation as well. The controls work well however when you want to wear only one earbud it has to be the right one only and you lose the ability to play/pause what you're listening to because those controls only exist on the left earbud. It's s minor inconvenience I'm willing to overlook because the basic function and sound quality is fantastic. The eq modes make these earbud sound much bigger and more expensive than they are. They beat out all other similar earbuds of the same design for the money hands down. I think they even sound better than my Dad's $200 Apple Airpods. The only other true wireless earbuds I would even consider over these would be the Powerbeats Pro but those are 5-6 times the price. The case is also very compact and fits in my front pockets well. Some reviewers have dinged it for the built in USB cable but it's actually one of the best things about it. It clips to the side, stays clipped and it's always there when you need to charge the case. I like not having to go hunt down a micro usb cable or keep up with one when I need to charge them. Even the product packaging is well designed and thought out with a great quick start guide. I've added a AA battery in one of the photo's for size comparison.

I purchased these earbuds on sale for $30. I was actually really impressed with the quality for the price. Not much bass to them, but I’m a person that doesn’t use a lot of bass anyway, but the sound quality is really good overall. I don’t think I could have found a nice of a pair anywhere else for the price.

I purchased these as an inexpensive Apple alternative for my iPhone 8. Pairing was easy and sound quality is great—for listening to music etc. They are sweat resistant as I use these for workouts. Case is chargeable and magnetically holds buds. Two drawbacks if you don’t position properly in your ears callers will have difficulty hearing you. Also right earbud is master. You can’t charge the right and listen on the left. If right bud is in case left one does not operate. But they can work independently. Also if using in bed in a dark room at night the blue tooth light on the buds are very bright.

I wanted an affordable blutooth earbuds and this was perfect for the job. Got it in sale, which helps, because the connection sometimes falters (not frequently, but every once in a while) and one ear bud becomes louder or softer. The right earbud is the most important ear bud, it connects to blutooth devices and the left earbud just connects to the right one. You will need the right earbud or else the left is useless. Holds a good charge. Magnetic case so the earbuds lock into place when you store/charge them. I use the rubber ear comforts from a different pair of earbuds to go with these, because the ones this came with were not a good fit in my ears.
