Customer Ratings & Reviews

These wireless earbuds worked very well. Worn in heavy rain and still holds up. Battery life is not great but for $30, they worked very well. They fit good and I feel like they stick out a bit much. You get what you pay for for $30 if you can get it on sale but I am not disappointed in them. As of 2021, I now use Galaxy Buds but still use these from time to time.

For day one the sound is pretty good, easily paired together and connected to devices. Only issue I have is be aware of the size. I really liked the size of Soundpeats and will continue searching for a step up from Soundpeats. Pictures are showing the difference between the two. Clearly not to scale, but there is a difference of a "whole" 5 mm/0.5 cm.

I was truly surprised by the sound and quality of the JLab Audio - JBuds Air True Wireless Headphones. I honestly didn't expect much from these until I opened the box in which it was packaged fairly nicely in. Jlabs includes 3 sets of gel cushion tips and a set of cushion fins that go around the earbuds for extra fit and comfort if needed. It also includes a nicely made charging case with a built in USB charge cable that folds into the bottom. The charge cable is a nice feature in that it folds itself flat into the bottom of the case and the USB portion can go in either way, no need to worry if your USB cable is going in the correct orientation. The case is small and fits in your palm, very easy to store, it also has 3 led lights on the front to indicate charging. Operation is simple. Hold both buttons on each earbud to pair initially and connect to your bluetooth source. You can control the volume down with one click on the left earbud and volume up with the right earbud. The JLab Audio - JBuds also come with 3 preset EQ settings (Signature JLab, Balanced, Bass Boost) I personally enjoy the Signature JLab sound setting. I was surprised with the amount of bass coming from these I did not expect that at all! I did test these out on the treadmill also and they did fine for a 30 minute run, they held in place and sweat did not seem to be an issue, so these seem fine for workouts. Overall I am very pleased with the products that JLabs have been putting out lately.

These are like the best thing ever!!! They are perfect for workout and even better at work because my hair easily hides it! It’s made work go by much faster and made it more fun. I love them! I love the fact that the case charges it. It never runs out of charge.

Headphones are often subject to compromise, if you want a pair that excel in one area - chances are it’ll lag behind in another. This is universally true with many products and generally the only way to narrow that gap is to throw more money at the problem. An ‘all in one’ anything usually means it does a bunch of things mediocre, and not anything great. Such has been my experience with ‘true’ wireless earphones. As an early adopter to gadgets I was quick to purchase a set of these wireless-styled earbuds, a different name brand than I’m reviewing here. Those were more than twice the twice, and didn’t sound great. But they were a whole new experience because of their completely wireless design. The JLAB JBuds Air come in at a very attractive price point. They’re not the cheapest, they’re not the most expensive. I’d say they are right in a sweet spot where a consumer would willing to spend an amount of their hard-earned money for a product that performs well in a specialized category. After a couple weeks of usage, I feel good giving these a thumbs-up. Here’s why… JLAB isn’t a name that comes to mind when you are thinking about a pair of performance earphones. But this little company out of southern California has been brimming right along over the past few years, producing products that perform well at a competitive price. They got a boost in sales and notoriety working with Major League Soccer. JLAB is a scrappy little company that provides an alternative to the giant name brands at a competitive price. Running on sort of the ‘designer beer’ marketing mechanism, JLAB is filling a gap. So about the earbuds themselves… I like’em! First off you have to understand that wireless earbuds inherently have limitations. They have to each hold their own electronics, and their own batteries. Both of which mean that the buds themselves tend to be bigger and heavier because of it. But they’re getting better… The ‘Air’ model looks hefty and bulky, but surprisingly you don’t notice that once set in your ears. Earbuds like these fit everyone a bit differently. It’s a very personal experience… You’ll either love or hate wireless earbuds, whether they’re made by JLAB or some other manufacturer. What I like about true wireless earbuds is that there literally isn’t any wires! The reason that is great is because wires that dangle, tend to bounce around a lot. When that happens the wires drag on your clothing, bump against your body - and all of that generates noise that gets transmitted to your eardrums. Some wires are coated with better materials and don’t transmit as much noise, but they all do it nonetheless. Take away the wire, and you take away the noise! Problem solved! What I don’t like about true wireless earbuds (of any make), is that they are clumsy little things. If you have big stupid fingers like me, trying to hold onto these buggers and get them into your ears, and turning them on and changing the volume - well, it ain’t easy. The other thing is that these things don’t magically stick in your ears (at least they don’t in mine). It’s really easy for either one of them to fall out, and when one does it can get out of sight and lost in a hurry. There’s no wire that acts as a lifeline should one pop out of your ear. These little guys little guys are tiny, and are free to escape should they fall out inadvertently. I can imagine that a lot of people that own these type of earbuds eventually have to buy a new pair because they lost just one of the earbuds. Manufacturers would be smart to sell replacements in just single units. What’s to like about the JLAB Air? Several things actually… I like the innovative storage case that also double as a charger, AND doubles as a backup power supply. KUDOS to the JLAB engineers for thinking this out. Seems like a common sense things, except I haven’t found anyone else who does it. First the clamshell design is easy to drop in your pocket or backpack. It’s a sturdy design that’s not going to fall apart and will likely survive the occasional accidently drop. Also, JLAB was wicked smart by putting tiny little neodymium magnets inside the the fitted case and on the inside of the earbuds casing. That allows them to ‘snap’ in place by merely putting them close to each other. Really slick and it works well. Nice thoughtful design! Next the case has a built-in USB cable. It has an ultra-short cable, which I was on the fence about. But actually it’s all you need. You don’t need a long cable to plug this into an outlet, it’ll dangle just fine until it’s fully charged. The connector itself is also a smart design, it’s a dual-sided USB connector so that there’s isn’t an up or a down. You stick it into a USB receptacle and it’s always the right side up. Smart! One thing that would be a nice add-on is an extension connector cable for those times that you would like to run a longer cable to the charging case. The other cool thing about the case is that it has its own built-in battery pack. Genius! So you get about 3.5 hours of run time on the earbuds themselves. Then when you run out of just pop them back into the charging case and it’ll charge your earbuds ‘untethered’ for almost 3 more complete charges! Really nice! The sound? Actually, quite impressive! These don’t sound as good as fully wired headphones, they don’t sound as good as partially wired Bluetooth headphones (that I’ve used). However… They sound really good for what they are, in this specific category. These are the best sounding true-wireless earbuds I’ve ever owned. I’ve owned several older generations, some were more costly, and these do sound better. Are they the best sounding true wireless earbuds on the market? I seriously doubt it! But for the price category these are in, I bet they’d go head to head with any other manufacturer. When I test headphones I play all sorts of source material, and at different levels of volume. A pair of headphones that sound great at max volume could sound like crap at a very soft volume. I’ve listened to a wide range of music for several hours with JLAB Air earbuds and I really enjoyed them. The sound is well balanced, not overly bright, and not overly heavy. Decent sound that is easy to listen to for a long period and not get tired of hearing them. Ironically my benchmark Bluetooth headphones are a no-name brand I picked up for under twenty bucks. I’ve compared them to earbud style headphones costing 5x as much and still like these better. In fact I ran out and bought a second pair so that I will have another set to use when these eventually die. Pairing was a piece of cake, I was up and running very quickly on my Apple iPhone. JLAB offers a free “burn-in” app if you wish to exercise your drivers to wear them in. Supposedly the best sound starts after about 40 hours of initial break-in. Eh… That’s not for me, I’m not looking for audiophile sound out of these. I just want decent sound in a completely wireless design that will stay comfortably in my ears as I work out. And these do that. The other nice feature JLAB added to the Air’s is that when you remove them from their magnetized case, they automatically turn-on and pair. That’s smart! I like it, it saves me a step and I wouldn’t be removing them from the case if I weren’t going to be using them anyhow. The EQ controls are a nice touch, and I did notice an improvement in sound depending on the source materials. I wasn’t particularly crazy about the function controls those, as it requires a decent amount of pressure to ‘click’ the built-in button. Some functions require multiple repetitive clicks to work. If the earbuds are set in your ears this can be a bit painful, depending on your sensitivity. You are better off changing the functions while the earbuds are not inserted in your ears. But that’s not easy either… I’ve yet to find any earphone that does this particular feature well. The other thing that these earbuds do, which others do as well - and I dislike all of them - is that they announce when an event occurs. In other words when you are pairing and you have the earbuds in place - they scream in your ears ‘paired!’. The worst is when they start running low on power. They announce ‘low power’ loudly in your ears. And they continue to announce they are dying every minute until they can’t announce any more. It’s really silly, but this is true with every other similar product I’ve tried. I suspect that’s because the chipsets that manufacturer’s use to build these devices are common and therefore have the same shortcomings. One other thing I noted about these earbuds was that their range was fine so long as you stayed close to the Bluetooth source. If I strayed even just 15 feet I’d experience cut-outs. Of course this is a very subjective test, and depends on whether there are walls and other objects in-line. Those are all the quirks, and faults, and highlights and cool things that I both liked and didn’t like about the JLAB Air JBuds. Add all of that up together, and I give it a passing score and will be gladly keeping these to use for my workouts. I recommend them, give them a try - I think you’ll be a satisfied consumer.

It was good and the sounding was good but he when you charge it not really since it's a USB.

I do recommend these headphones. They have good sound quality

First let me say these sound amazing for the 49.99 they cost. The included magnetic charging case, and underside attached charging cable is a very nice touch. Bluetooth pairing to my phone was painless and quick. I have smaller ears, and these feel to be overly lage in my ears. The added rubber ring help, but not much. I can see using these to cut the grass, lr while playing my drums. But more than a hour would be uncomfortable in my opinion. These need to be more contoured the inside of your ear. Subtracted a star for this. These have 3 different eq settings. Pressing the left btoon 1x turn volume down, 1x on the right side button volume up. You can answer phone calls, skip/pause songs. Very nice features on these lower budget earbuds. Battery life was great, charing is fast, around a hour and a half when dead. I reccommend these, but for shorter use

I been looking for ear buds that have good sound and can stay connected all the time and I found them.

Love them . easy to connect n great quality Sounds great . Stays connected while walking around away from my phone. That's a plus

JLAB JBuds Air The sound on this jlab earbuds is almost perfect it doesn’t have to much bass but the music quality is Perfect Im using it with my iPhone 8 plus Rated IP55

These are great earbuds. The only thing I don't like is the BlueTooth, which often gets static and cuts out. Very quick charging. Very long battery life. Good sound.

I love my earbuds. I Will not hesitate to rebuy it in the future.

The quality and sound experience in is awesome with the JBUDS AIR. I would definitely recommend the these for work and/or play.

great quality for a great price. Unbelievable battery life. I don’t have to worry on running out of battery.

Small but powerful. The size is convenient and the sound is good.

If you looking to buy affordable wireless earbuds this are the one you should get.

I would like more BOOM (bass) BUT love that they stay in my ear!

These wireless earbud headphones are great for the price, my 1 issue/complaint is the mic for phone calls. Any and everyone says that I sound muffled. Aside from that 1 issue these things are great

This is really a life saver i loved this it has really helped me
