Customer Ratings & Reviews

The JBuds Band is a no-frills Bluetooth headphone that I have been looking for - it just works. It is nothing fancy: a neckband style design which offers very easy pairing (no NFC though), good battery life (I got more than 7 hours) and best of all, it’s sweat and dust resistance. The build is light and sturdy. The neckband style design can sometimes be polarizing - some people do not like that at all, but I personally had no issue. The only negative I can think about this arrangement is that the wires sometimes dangles a bit too much due to slack and it’s sometimes annoying to me as it shows up in my peripheral vision. The controls are easily located on the right-hand side, and it has vibration feature to let you know when powering on and off (along with audible cues), and also when there’s a phone call. It also supports Google Assistant in my Android smartphone - long press the middle button to get the voice prompt. There are 3 eqs built-in which are easy to switch between. I’m not particularly a big fan of those, but there’s no way to turn them off. As for sound quality, I’d say it’s quite crisp, and maybe a tad too bright in the “balanced” eq. I mostly use it for podcasts and audio books so my demand is not that strenuous. I tried listening to some rock/metal on Spotify with it, and it was decent (but I go to my M50x for regular music listening). For on the go, it does it’s job well with the “JLab Signature” eq mode. The fit was very good for me out the box. You do get some different sized earbuds/tips. The buds are not that heavy and I had no issue using it for more than a couple of hours when I was travelling. All in all, it’s a quite good on-the-go bluetooth based on the price/value aspect. Don’t expect fancy features etc. and you won’t be disappointed. Having used it for about 10 days, I can’t comment on the reliability in the long run, but the looks of it I don’t think you have to “baby” it like some many other ones available.

Great charge time stays in the ear the problem is can’t hear too well at all times

They are ok , not very loud . Can't hear at all if any background noise .

I have had an LG set like this and a Sony set. I liked the sony set better but it only lasted about 6 months.

Bought two sets of skull candy previously. They lasted about 8 months. Sound is ok for $30

I brought this for my friend he is ole school. He liked these much better

Sound and works great.. Just the ear buds come off to easy lost a pair already :(

I think if I had a thicker neck, I might have really liked these. So if you're a larger person, I would consider them, because the neck strap distributes the weight better than other wired buds (ie, Sony). But for me, it felt uncomfortable to have this on my neck, and it also looked awkward.

This a good basic headphones. No issues so far. Wish the wires retracted.

For the cost these are a great option if you are looking to save money.

Worked fine thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you!

Only complaint is the string around the neck is a little tight

I bought this ear headphones to my daughter and she loved it

Nice earbuds..wife loves them. So far so good.....

Headphones work well, great price! Would buy again.

I brought these for work. Not loud enough for me..

After using these earbuds 2 - 3 times per week for 3 months, the volume in one of the earbuds dropped by more than half. The warranty is for only 30 days, so I regret this purchase.

These headphones seem to work well. i have paired them to a couple of phones and my car. They work well and I have had no issues with them.

JLab Audio – JBuds Band Wireless Neckband Headset I'm starting to like the new "neckband" style for earbud headsets. This set is an improvement over earlier models that had a "slip off" neckband, which worked well enough but would often start slipping loose after a period of extended wear and activity. This set overcomes that with the neckband as a permanent part of the headset. Bluetooth continues to improve, and is noticeable here with the BT5 upgrade. Connections seem better when leaving the phone on the desk and moving around the house, which is much more convenient when listening for long periods of time and needing to grab a snack or step away from the desk for other reasons. Phone calls are easy to receive, and there is a vibration setting that notifies an incoming call without interrupting the audio stream. Once you accept the call, of course the audio pauses to allow the phone conversation. Incoming and outgoing audio quality are fine, about the same as earlier models. Some nice features are the magnetic snap-together for the buds when not being used, which turns them off until they are pulled back apart to help get longer battery life. Fit is also improved over earlier models, as these have a more streamlined earpiece that doesn't "hang out" of the ears as much. I appreciate this design improvement for wearing the earbuds overnight to fall asleep to audiobooks. Much less of an issue waking up and having one or both of the earbuds fallen out. The built-in sound settings are more convenient as there is no need to open up the app to change settings. For the most part, the "balanced" setting works fine for me - although there is a JLab "signature" setting to try for music and the per-requisite "bass boost" for the younger users. The moisture resistance rating is also an improvement, and although I don't use these for workouts involving a lot of moisture, the moisture resistance should help with long-term life of the headset. Better built should be longer lasting. Overall this is a nice set with good fit to wear for extended periods of time. The battery life should not disappoint, and they hang comfortably around the neck and stay in place when moving around. I have paid more for headsets that don't fit as well, and don't last as long, so this is a good price point for a good set of daily use earbuds.

The JLab JBubs work very well and have good noise background cancelling. I don't like that the buds don't retract
