Customer Ratings & Reviews

The JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones have been a great product to pick up, I especially appreciate them for commuting.   In the box are the headphones, USB-C to USB-C charging cable, and paperwork. Setup is easy, I recommend downloading the JLab app, for eq settings, ANC adjustment, and firmware updates, however not required to use.  The build is solid, I had concerns the semi-rigid headband would not be comfortable for long wear, but so far I haven't had any issues.  I wear them with the extensions all the way in, but there is about an inch of travel on both sides for adjustment. There is an elastic fabric cover at the top of the headband to improve comfort and the flex in the band allows for comfortable wear without being too tight or loose.  For illustration, I can jog or do chores in this headset with no slipping or movement. The ear cups are plush foam, covered by a synthetic fabric that gives some grip without being too hot. I do think the ear cups will likely work for 75% of users, but may be cramped for those with large ears. When placed on a flat surface the ear cups will pivot to lay flat and used as a personal speaker.  The buttons are physical press buttons, all on the right ear cuff.  Starting from back to front is noise cancelling, +/- volume, power button which can also be customized via the app for multi purpose settings based on 1, 2, or 3 taps.  I really like the physical buttons, no more accidental taps, having to figure out long / short presses, or any of the other pains that come with having to worry about accidentally pressing in the wrong spot. To connect, long press the power button, the light flashes blue/red and then can be connected via Bluetooth.  The app allows for full customization with 10 eq sliders for custom sound, in addition to JLab Signature, Balanced, and Bass Boost presets. The app also allows for noise control, level of active noise control, as well as a pass through mode called "Be Aware". As mentioned earlier, the app also allows programming of the multi-purpose button in the form of 1, 2, or 3 taps and will do things such as play/pause, next/last, volume up/down, assistant, ANC, and change EQ.  Overall all the functionality works well and offers more features than I had expected for the price point, and even more important, it's intuitive.  The comfort level is a solid B+, even for 2+ hours of wear.  What really surprised me with this headphone was the quality of sound and ANC.  I could tell a difference in the ANC levels, and it didn't have the white noise feedback you get with some ANC, the JLab software keeps everything very natural sounding in both Be Aware mode as well as ANC.  When I turn on full ANC and listen to music, it truly does reduce external noises.  I tested with my teen talking to, and while I could hear something, 4' away I couldn't tell what he was saying, even with the volume at a mid level.  The depth of the sound is another impressive offering, again for this price point, I didn't expect the crispness and depth from the 40mm drivers.  In summary, for the price point, go pick these headphones up.  They are portable, light weight, comfortable, with a great sound.  I think JLab got the ANC and drivers figured out and are optimized in this build. 

Great sound quality. Comfortable. Good battery life.

I bought a these on sale for my son. I needed something with great batter life, comfort, and more than half way decent sound. I tried them on and was actually pleased for the price I paid for them. Also has an app for sound EQ and updates. Overall very pleased and my son love them too.

I have never been a fan of over the ear headphones for a number of reasons: I have a bunch of ear piercings, they used to fall easy when you moved, the only ones I could ever find were $200 crazy things that are just not my vibe, etc. These are PERFECT. They do not mess with my piercings, they stay put nicely, good sound, and they were a reasonable price. Highly recommend. I'm getting my mom and husband each a pair.

Dynamic sound and extremely comfortable wear. Best headphones I’ve had even over other top brands that are also more expensive. Would totally recommend to anyone looking to get a great pair of over ear headphones for reasonable price.

I love these headphones. I only had airpods before which didn't tune out my noisy work environment but these make the room feel calmer, quieter and less overstimulating. They also have great battery life. I'd recommend these when they're on sale for any architecture student like me.

Very comfty, fits well especially over all my ear piercings. The noise cancellation is no joke, can’t hear a thing

Definitely recommend! These headphones are great! Probably one of the best cheap headphones. The noise cancellation is really good to the point where I don’t really hear anything. The ear cushioning is not the greatest like your top dollar but still fits flush to the ear and comfortable in such as I wear them to the gym for about an hour and half and don’t have any issues wearing them. I use an iPhone and don’t have any issues with them.

Very comfortable, serious noise cancellation, great sound. I'm impressed with the quality at this price point. The color is more of a dull army green, but at least it's a bit more interesting than black. These are my first wireless headphones so I'm getting used to needing to charge them and turn them off, and I can't speak to the battery life as compared to others, but so far I only need to charge them every couple weeks.

JLab has been hit or miss with my experiences with them throughout the past few years, So It is very safe to say that I am skeptical. I've used them for a little over a week and too be honest. It hasn't been a totally bad experience. The sound quality is pretty good for such an affordable pair of headphones. The buttons are easy to get to and control your music and phonecalls. The ANC is very above par, and really shuts the world ouut when turned on.Evenn when there's no music playing. It comes with a very nice braided USB Type-C charging cable that I have yet to even need. That's right. These things were fully charged right out of the box. And remember, I have had these for over a week. The thing is, I like to use my over the ear headphones sparingly( Only when I'm in need of solitude. Like when I'm working out, or if I am a passenger in an Uber or LYFT or even public transportation. So I don't burn through headphones too quickly. The battery life is approximately 70 hours( Yep. 70.) So you get my point. The Jlab app is where you are able to use the EQ mainly, so I recommend installing it. As far as comfort, that's a different story. I wear glasses. This means it is a very important thing to not be too tight around my glasses. And these don't do well for long sessions for me. They become uncomfortable quicker than I would like. The sound quuality is better than expected. So I'll give it to them on that. I'm not too crazy about the guuiitar pick shape of the drivers, but if that doesn't bother you, and you don't wear glasses, these should do very nicely for you. These could also benifit from having a carrying case or a bag. Something. The IP rating is unknown, but I have been okay while working out for now. Hopefully the foam will hold up for a while. I still don't feel safe out in the rain though. Still, for the $80 price point, this is a bad pair of bluetooth headphones.

Def a great set of headphones. Better quality than most cheaper headphones. Some people complained about the bass mode not being “hard” enough but i think it’s just right! I like the ear muffs they are soft and goes into noise cancellation mode flawlessly. You honestly hear the difference before the music is on. My only down fall if i wish they were more breatheable for the summer.

By far the best deal i have found to date. Ear pads are very comfortable and soft, very good noise cancellingand great battery life. I would buy these again for sure.

Bought these for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. She listens to music all the time and the battery use is amazing. Sound quality is true. Great buy.

Right off the bat, the pairing is bad with iOS 17.5.1 and Apple iPhone 15 Pro. I downloaded the app and followed the instructions. I connected with Bluetooth but the app still does not list it under devices. I’ve re-paired it and same thing. So this review will be using Android OS v14 and Google Pixel 8 Pro. I downloaded the app for Android and during pairing, it detected it. This was a better experience than iOS. The app review was concerning with low ratings. But after reading a few and using the app it seems many feel the app is unnecessary since you can do the same thing on the headphones itself. The JLabs app recognized it and lists it under the device list. The app is easy to use and laid out well. I prefer it over the buttons because everything is labeled on the app. For the headphones, they fit okay over my head. The pads are fine but may become uncomfortable after 30 minutes of use at least for me, I would need to remove it. My ears would get warm and fit feels tighter. This is a subjective take because my head and ears may differ from everyone else. The noise cancellation is fine. I’ve had better from other headphones. I also tried it on my MacBook Pro M3 Max. You don’t need an app installed but you will rely on the physical buttons on the headphones. It does not work as a wired headphone when connected using the USB-C cable. It would’ve been a cool feature. Let’s say the batteries are dead and you want to use it with your laptop, you would have to wait for it to get enough charge to use it again. I think this is a good Bluetooth headphones with noise cancelling. There will be better ones but at a higher price point. I would not recommend it with iPhone. But it’s nice with Android phone and MacBook Pro.

Wow! This is soo good. I mean the sound quality is massive and the battery life. It can last more than a week before I need to recharge it again and the noise cancellation OMG. Everything is perfect about this headset.

Love the sound and the noise cancelation option for various situations( gym vs outside). They are easy to use and the fit is excellent.

Picked these up on sale for $50. For that price the comfort, anc, and sould quality are on point. They far exceded my expectations. Will be using these for the gym.

These are excellent for the price. Great sound quality, comfortable fit and easy to pair. Battery life has been amazing. Would recommend.

I bought this for my autistic son. Comfort means everything for him. When choosing a headphone I took so much into consideration. These headphones did not disappoint. He loved them. I would recommend these headphones to anyone that enjoys music, that is clear along with feeling comfortable.

My wife bought these for herself so she can connect them to her laptop. She loves them and says the comfortable. She uses them all the time and says the sound is amazing. She loves the color she chose as well.
