Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wow! The JLab JBuds are incredibly small—so small that I hate that. Their size makes for an easy travel accessory with the built-in loop and included keyring, which can then easily attach to your keychain, laptop bag, purse, backpack, or other travel bag. The small case also makes for an easy carry-on device that can fit in your pocket without adding bulk if you choose not to use the keyring mentioned previously. It measures approx 1.75" x 1.5" x 1". So you may be wondering, Why do you hate them? With big hands and long fingers, handling delicate, tiny items is somewhat of an ordeal. Flipping open the case is in itself a tough task while trying to prevent the earbuds from falling out. With that achieved, the task becomes grabbing the earbuds, handling them, and making sure to not squeeze too hard where they shoot out of the hands. If no issues occur, the only remaining task is to grasp the earbuds by the sides, place them in the ear canal, and gently push them in. There aren't too many earbuds that create these issues, but the JLab isn't the first. In the box, you have a pair of earbuds, a charging cable, a keyring, a manual, and two extra earbud gels for proper fitment. Setup is simple with the included manual, and there are well-written instructions and helpful visual diagrams. The earbuds offer a battery life of around 5 to 6 hours per charge, while the case can provide an additional 20 hours. Downloading the app, which isn't necessary as all controls can be adjusted from the earbuds, allows you to register your product while making edits to your sound profile. Music playback with the earbuds is impressive, with good definitions in mids and highs, but bass is lacking compared to higher-end products. I did have trouble finding the noise cancellation function, as it isn't truly powerful. While I never did specifically try using these with a phone call, I never did get to use the mic on a PC as Windows never could hear the mic. It did show up as an input device but never responded during testing. This could possibly be a Windows incompatibility, however. Overall, the JLab earbuds are a good-performing, tiny travel audio accessory. They offer good sound and a well-polished app for configuring them to your exact needs. My real issue with them is their size; they are just too small for me to handle, becoming an inconvenience. This is worth 4-stars

JBuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds - Truly mini, but mighty. On the mini side, they are smaller, but slightly thicker than the key fob for my car(s). After charging them, (be sure to remove the protective film off the ear buds so they charge) I just about lost them on my mess of a desk. If it weren't for the bright blue USB-C charging cable, they may have been overlooked for days. The case, without the key ring attached is about the size of those sample little jelly jars you sometimes get in hotels, but a tad smaller. As for the ear buds, they are truly tiny. My wife has problems with most of the ear buds that come with phones (you know, the white ones...) and their upgraded pods, but these JBuds fit perfectly. I think she's even using the smallest gel piece. After I was using the JBuds for about a week, her interest was peaked and tried them. Now she won't give them back and that makes them certainly worthy of five stars. Sound quality... all things considered for the size and lesser cost, the JBuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds sound excellent. There's a very faint "tape hiss" to the noise cancellation, like many ear buds, earphones, and headphones that I can't fault. It's not uber-premium, but cancellation and "be aware" modes are very good. In a straight-up comparison with those white ones from the fruit company, the JBuds hold their own. I listened to some pretty complicated music with them. Most of the music had low and mid bass along with guitar, bass guitar, and multiple types of vocals. The JBuds were able to produce accurate representation of the music and vocals at loud volumes with no muddiness, warbling, or loss of bass or other frequency. I don't know if they are using multiple drivers or not, but it certainly seems so. Deep bass and clear vocals with clear lead guitar is sometimes impossible, even with some car stereo systems. I'm impressed. Oh, and I should mention that watching some of the car videos like "TH" were a real treat. The JBuds reproduced sound from the narration and car exhaust almost as if I were there and not watching a video. So great for such tiny ear buds. Things I did not like: What's not to like? Maybe this is the place where I mention that the charging cable is less than six inches in length, but that didn't bother me at all. I just used the USB-C on the front of my UPS for my computer and it was really convenient to be able to see the case right there while they charged. I had zero issues with low battery, and the case charging was convenient enough that I only charged the case with the buds in it near the end of a week of a lot of usage. In short, great performing ear buds, especially for the size and price.

When you look at how tiny the case truly is, its mind boggling what is possible nowadays with smaller and smaller tech. Once you stop admiring the size itself, the pairing process is super simple, atleast on my Samsung device. As soon as I opened the case a popup showed on my mobile to connect, and it took mere seconds to establish the connection. And then you can start using it. The audio itself is not audiophile grade, but its good - I haven't felt yet that I was missing out on certain audio frequency ranges in music, movies or Youtube videos. It being truly wireless, you can keep 1 of them charging while you use the other, and if it's battery dies, you have the 1st side fully charged, and you can keep going. You don't need the app, but without it you won't be able to change the quick actions available for - 1 click, double click, triple click and long hold on each ear. So, that's a total of 8 actions available, which is great. The default assignment was a bit weird for me, so I did use the app to assign the actions to what feels best for me - in fact left a few actions unassigned, to not have to remember so many permutations. The app also had an update available as soon as its connected, not sure what the new changes were, but that is another reason to have the app installed. And we haven't even come to the fit, this is absolutely tiny and is barely visible when in your ear. The soft tips are available in 3 different sizes, but the default worked for me fine. There is also a mode where you can have the outside voices and noise pass through, so if you are in a place where you want to be able to hear people call out your name, or you want to be able to hear the next station on your train car, you can enable that. And it can be assigned to a quick action too. This is available on most earphones now, but given their size, these can almost be used as discrete hearing aids (to a small extent), for those who may need it. Definite recommendation from my end.

The JLab JBuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds truly live up to their name “Mini”. They aren’t much bigger than a lot of hearing aids. The carrying case appears about half the size of the standard Airpods. Given their diminutive size and price to match, they definitely punch above their weight. To get the best sound, it’s important to get a good seal in the ear and JLab provides three ear tip size options that should allow a good fit for a wide range of ear sizes. This fact is mentioned in the instruction pamphlet, and they recommend trying all three sizes to ensure a good seal. Like most earbuds, the JLab Minis can be controlled by pressing and/or holding the outer buttons. You will know right away if you have inserted the earbuds properly as the buttons won’t be easily accessible if you have them in wrong. In addition, JLab provides a smartphone app to control the various options, same as the buttons and more. It also includes a 10-band frequency equalizer with presets or complete customization, something you won’t find in far more expensive earbuds. The earbuds work in either music or movie mode, but I was unable to distinguish the sound difference between them. I assume that it has something to do with improved voice quality in movie mode, but nothing is mentioned in the quick start guide. JLab also provides firmware updates via the app, a nice feature to keep your JBuds up-to-date. Battery life seems to be very good. My wife has been listening to audio books and the battery still reads full. I really like that JLab chose to use USB-C for charging (cable included). At this price point, you won’t find noise cancellation, but there is a feature called “Be Aware” that allows the listener to hear ambient noises for safety reasons and provide better awareness of your surroundings. Also don’t expect audiophile quality sound, but I have to admit they sound pretty decent. These earbuds are perfect for kids and adults alike, satisfying a wide range of listening needs. Don’t let the low price fool you, they have decent sound and a host of nice features. JLabs offers these in 5 different colors, sure to please the younger crowd who might want something besides the standard white earbuds. With JLab Minis, the whole family can afford to own their own earbuds.

JBuds have to be hands down the smallest earbuds I've ever had the chance 2 try. Not only are the buds themselves small the case is also the smallest I've used. Sound from these buds are better than I thought they would be at this price point. I mainly listen to podcasts or some review videos and they are more than adaqate for that. Once my daughter saw the small JBuds in their tiny case she just had to have it and immediately confiscated them. The small size with the smallest silicone tips were perfect for her small ears. I'm not complaining if it spares me from having to listen to kidz bop or another episode of Boss Baby. Though I didn't like the idea of my child being isolated into a show where she can completely tune her parents out. The Be Aware feature keeps her alert to what is happening around her without sacrificing the ability to her her show or music. The safe hearing option limits the volume so she doesn't damage her developing ears. She couldn't be more thrilled with having her own set of ear buds like mom and dad. She loves that they are so tiny and can pop them into her little bag and have them on our car trips. She no longer has to blast the volume on her tablet over the road noise, us talking or competing over the radio but can still respond to us when we call to her. She is super excited to have them for our plane trip to visit grandma and grandpa next month. Battery life has been perfectly acceptable since (for now) we monitor and limit her screen time. The charge on the case will give the buds enough juice for several days before needing to charge it up. Wireless charging would've been the icing on the cake, but if it meant a bigger case we can live without it. If she ends up losing them because they are so small I don't need to get too upset as they are very reasonably priced. She likes them so much she even asked to get a pair for her friend as a birthday gift. These would make great stocking stuffers for Christmas.

These are perhaps the smallest earbuds I have ever seen. When you are wearing them, they are not readily visible when viewing from the front. Despite the small size, they have a really good sound and many options for customization. They do not have active noise cancellation, but at this price point I would not expect them to. They do create a nice seal in the ear, which creates a nice passive cancellation. Three sets of ear tips are included in the box so that you can get the correct seal. Battery life is really good at 5.5 hours per earbud, and 20 total hours with the case. Charging is done over USB type C (no wireless charging). It should be noted that case is also really small, about half of the size or an AirPods Pro case. It does include a key ring and loop so that you can attach it to something. This will be important so that it doesn’t get lost. Bluetooth multipoint is a great feature to have. You can connect multiple devices and move between them with ease. There are premium earbuds that don’t offer this, so it is amazing to see on these. I like that app, you can customize the Be Aware level (which lets outside noise in). You can also customize the touch controls and equalizer settings. Calls sounds clear, which is amazing to me. It has noice cancelling microphones which work really well. Importantly, the sound is also great. The ability to adjust the eq in the app to get the sound profile you like is a big part of this. Creating a good seal with the correct size tips also helps. Lastly, because of the small size, these are perfect to wear to sleep. You can sleep on your side without even noticing them, there is no pressure pushing them in your ear. There are only a few earbuds that work well for sleeping - some brands even make sleeping buds that don’t work as well as these. I’m really amazed that earbuds in this price range are this good. They are an incredible value for the features that you are getting.

Wow, these are the smallest earbuds I have ever seen! The case is equally small, barely larger than a key fob for a car. I only got to use these for a few days before my teenage son claimed them as his own. Personally, I found the sound quality was a bit lacking but for the price they are actually quite awesome. I’d give them four stars for sound but five for portability and battery life. They are easy to pair to multiple devices. I like that you can adjust the volume by touch. I also like being able to cycle through the various preset EQs by touch as well. Very handy! My son paired to his phone and laptop, he did report that on just one website he uses for school, the earbuds exhibited a delay on just one earbud which caused an echo. Now, it only happens on just that one website so it’s not likely an issue with the earbuds but his headphones don’t have the echo on the same website. These don’t have active noise cancellation but since they do fit in the ear they do help block outside noise. You can also put them in “Be Aware” mode and be able to hear ambient sounds when you need to. My son loves these, he says the sound quality is good enough and he likes that they stay secure in his ears for workouts, they have replaced his AirPods because those fell out too often especially if you laid back on a weight bench. So if you need earbuds with adequate sound quality, reasonable price, good battery life, and a very compact form these would be a great choice!

I wanted to love these earbuds because they are so cute, but the audio is awful.

Not good. The voice is really slow when we talking on phone

Not the greatest sound quality, for $40+, but theyll work.

JBuds mini. Yes they are tiny. Case included. I have owned alot of earbuds over the years and typically use them for about 8-10 hrs. A day. Most either dont fit the ear well or come in a awkward shaped case or no case at all. This is the first set that I have been able to take right out of the box and use without having to mess with fitment. They come with several different sized gel tips to fit your ear so it should be easy to get them to fit. The case which is no bigger than a golf ball fits in my jeans pocket without being to bulky. And if you dont want to carry them in your pocket the case has a key ring attached so you can put them on your keychain or purse etc... The sound quality does not disappoint either for such a small earbud. Phone calls are a breeze with the touch controls and built in microphone. Everyone I have talked on the phone with said they could hear me very clearly, which in the past has been an issue with other earbuds I have used. Battery life is also pretty impressive for a ear bud so small. I typically get about 6hrs of play time on the earbuds before they have to go back in the case. As for the case I havent had to charge it up until today which has been after about a week of use. Jlabs also has an app to control things such as the EQ, touch controls, be aware settings and updates for firmware. All in all I love the all around performance and price of the jbud minis. They have definitely become my go to when I leave the house and want music or the ease of making hands free calls.

Small and compact. Thats all that matters. I got tired of carrying around my AirPod Pros 2 in my pocket. This fits my key chain and doesn’t feel uncomfortable like my AirPods. Sound quality is alright, not amazing. I miss the 3D audio from the pods but this is a good compromise because I often forget to reattach my AirPod pros to my keychain before leaving for work. This will work great as a backup or primary use. Touch controls are too sensitive but you can change the way it works on the JLab app. Aware mode is nice but I wonder how it affects battery life. This isn’t active noise cancelling like my AirPod Pros but it’s decent because Awareness mode is a sudo transparency mode from the AirPod Pros. It’s cheap and it does its job perfect. I would recommend but I wish they had a bigger selection of colors. No connectivity issues, just the random unintentional pauses and turning awareness mode on and off by accident because I need to adjust the headphones or put them back in the case. Once they figure out how to properly calibrate the touch sensitivity then I would update this review to 5 stars.

The Jlab JDbuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds are a great value choice for anyone looking to get a decent pair of full wireless earbuds. The sound quality is good for the value and they fit and feel just fine. If you’re looking to get a decent pair of value earbuds I would recommend these. The JBuds are not the greatest sounding pair of earbuds, but for this price point they are more than good. Connection was easy and I was able to switch between multiple devices easily. Inside the box there are several different eartips to help make sure that these will fit your ears regardless of your size. The included charging case is great for extending the life of your battery so that you can have all day play with minimal charging in-between. My only complaint with these is how lightweight they are, they are not very confidence inspiring and will sometimes feel like they are about to slip out due to their light weight and how light they feel inside my ears. The tips do a good job of keeping them in, but they just feel light which can be good for some people, but for me I sometimes felt like I was going to lose them if I got too active. Other than that small issue, which is just something I’ve noticed, I would recommend these to anyone looking for a good pair of budget earbuds.

For the price and size, these are great. I was impressed with how they sounded as I was not expecting them to sound as good for the size they are. The case has a key ring on it so you can attach it to your keys. Have dropped keys a couple times and only once did the case open up so far when keys got dropped. They also are comfortable to wear as they are small and light weight. Wife likes them as well and went out to get herself one. If I had to complain about something, they don't have the best noise cancellation. However, that is fine for me as they still do a decent job and again for the price and size, I feel they are more than worth it. I catch a bus to and from work and having these saves space, and easy to pop in and use. And the size makes them a lot easier to keep in your pocket. If you are looking for a decent pair of earbuds that don't break the bank and small and easy to carry around with you, these are a great deal, and perfect for all of that. Simple and easy to use.

Terrible! No one can hear me talking. You basically have to yell for people to hear you.

Did not function properly. I would not recommend this item.

Bluetooth connectivity is absolutely terrible. DO NOT BUY!

They don’t stay charged but 5 hours and the life of the battery not what the box say

The JLab JBuds mini true wireless earbuds are .... TINY. I was pretty shocked at how small they are, but have also been surprised how well the earbuds work and how convenient they are. First the size. I would guess that the fit of these earbuds is going to depend a lot on the individual. Most earbuds fit pretty well in my ears, but my wife and daughter must have tiny ears because they cannot get standard earbuds to stay in their ears very well. When my wife and I watch something on a laptop she has to physically hold the standard earbuds in place. The JBud Mini earbuds are the first ones she has ever tried that stay put in her ears. For myself, they feel a little lost in my ears. I need to use the largest gel tips in order to feel that they will stay on properly. But neither of us have had any issues. For that reason alone I recommend these earbuds for a variety of people. The earbuds connected by bluetooth to my phone and laptop without any issues at all. Just take them out of the case, put them in my ear, and connect them on the device and it's all good. One thing I did not like right out of the box is that the touch controls were WAY too sensitive. It felt like just waving my hand by my ear would trigger something. This is controllable via the JLab app, which also has some other nice settings to dial in how you like it, including noise cancelling. If you've had any issues with earbuds not fitting well, give these a try!

Jlab has done it again. For a reasonable price , they have given us a product that does everything that it is supposed to do without any stupid gimmicks and extra paraphernalia. To keep this succinct, this set is perfect for everybody who needs to connect their earbuds to multiple devices (3), receive and make phone calls, listen to podcasts and music, and they even gave you a cable (very short but better and flexible in its utility than what we had in the previous generation). Just do not go swimming in it though. It is waterproof enough with limitations. The size is tiny and actually worried me at first but everything worked out fine. Build quality of the set is quite good. If you are busy like me and do not have time to use the app, you will be fine. But the functionality controls will be enhanced greatly when you download the app. The call reception and microphone functions are flawless in terms of the expectations I had. The audio performance is as desirable as it can get at this price-point. Bluetooth coverage is good. Battery life is good as well and I think that you can get about 5 hours from each bud. I have also found that the long term reliability for JLab is comparable and sometimes much better than a few of the rivals. Highly recommended. Do not hesitate.
