    Can’t recommend. Tried these under a motorcycle helmet and the signal was very much interrupted, cutting in and out. I would image the signal doesn’t travel through walls. Exchanged them for a pair of skullcandy’s and those worked perfectly. If you need something cheap and your phone is nearby they’re probably fine.

    Mini, but mighty. Wonderful Little Earbuds

    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.

    Comfortable, good sound quality, but a few hiccups

    The JLab company seems to have sprung out of nowhere in the mid-2010s, yet their products rapidly convinced me of their competence and quality. Perhaps I came into this experience with unreasonably high expectations as a result of this preconception, but I was very slightly disappointed with these. I've always been skeptical of Bluetooth audio or human-interface devices that strictly *require* the use of a separate app in order to function properly (I can understand needing an app for advanced features like audio/EQ settings or control customization, but it absolutely should *not* be strictly necessary just to pair in the first place), so the fact that I couldn't pair them with my phone without first downloading the app should have been a bit of a red flag from the start. While the app does have some nice features (battery status, the aforementioned control customization, relatively more straightforward "longcuts" for features that require arcane combinations of taps on the actual earbuds) I still had a somewhat . . . rocky technical experience in one specific way. After getting them paired, there was an available firmware update (from 1.1.3.7 to 1.1.4.4) right out of the box. At least, *in theory.* In practice, it would progress up to somewhere between 2% and 34% of the install before failing because the hardware would restart/disconnect, and I would have to start from scratch. It only went beyond that 34% mark three times, and past 50% only twice - the *vast majority* of the time, it would fail between 3% and 19%. I tried literally *DOZENS* of times (which is why I have such a complete statistical sample distribution from which to quote these numbers) over several hours across multiple days before finally giving up. The app popup and JLab website claim the update is important for "call audio quality" (they don't specify as to whether that just means "phone" or also includes things like Zoom, Teams, Slack, Facetime, Skype, etc.) , but I can't offer any insight on this since I could never get the darn thing to install. Further, on a handful of occasions (more than 2, less than 5; I didn't specifically keep count) during the ~8 days of use before writing this review, the connection simply cut out and they had to be reconnected manually with a little bit of fuss in the app. And on one occasion, they spontaneously and randomly *turned on* and connected with my phone while simply resting in their case across the room, and - even more strangely - wouldn't disconnect or turn off even when I took them out of and put them back in their case. I finally had to disable Bluetooth on the phone, and then reconnect them manually to get them to turn off and disconnect when I put them back in their charging case. The rubber tips (there are 2 additional sizes included, but I found the ones that came pre-installed comfortable enough) are intended to fit snugly enough to act as a passive seal against noise while simultaneously holding them in place, e.g. during a workout. I didn't seriously probe the limits of this security as I was not prepared to accept the hypothetical consequences of them flying off into the aether should it prove subpar, but found that, once I got them into a comfortable long-term position (which sometimes took a bit of fiddling), they stayed adequately enough in place with routine everyday use to only require a sporadic reinforcing press back into the ear. They're generally extremely comfortable, to the point where it's not difficult to forget you're even wearing them without active audio. Admittedly I have an an extremely undiscerning ear (aside from obvious issues with the source media or hardware, I can't tell the difference between a 128 kbps mp3 ripped from a CD in 2004 and true high-quality audio), but the sound quality seems pretty excellent to me. I got rich, full sound from a variety of genres ranging from hard rock to electronica to soft '80s pop, as well as from Duolingo and the Mario Kart Tour mobile game. My one minor gripe on the sound itself is that there is a small yet noticeable latency of a large fraction of a second between the audio being generated on the source device and the actual sound coming through on the headphones. It's not as noticeable as it is with another pair of Anker earbuds I've used in which a race in Mario Kart starts before the "1" sound in the "3, 2, 1, Go" countdown (probably a little over a full second), and may not be a concern for at least some users, but it is there nonetheless. I systematically don't use my mobile devices for video as a matter of principle (and therefore didn't test it), but the thought occurs that this issue could be a major problem for people who extensively view streaming video on their mobile devices. While I suppose I *could* have tested this with my computer, I didn't wish the added headache of attempting to have these paired with both of my primary devices simultaneously. I also briefly experienced the audio cutting in and out with an effect resembling poor phone reception shortly after I initially set them up, and then again sometime shortly after the first full recharge 5 days later. This did not recur at all in the subsequent days of use, which leads me to believe it's some form of "startup" effect, like a car engine making odd noises before it comes up to operating temperature. They aren't explicitly noise-cancelling, but do passively block out most external sound at "everyday" indoor volumes. As a result, they (and apparently many other JLab products, as well) offer a "Be Aware" mode that uses the microphones to process and allow a certain amount of ambient sound to pass through - e.g. for safety on city streets, or for conversing with others in-person. It's an interesting feature that I found myself using the vast majority of the time since much of my use-case for these is precisely office and "around town" rather than "in-the-zone" workouts. I have to assume this must come at the expense of some battery life, but couldn't separate any significant penalty from routine use: the collective battery between headphones and charging case (the whole affair came fully charged out of the box, oddly, which was a welcome surprise) lasted a full 5 days with intermittent use for 4-6 hours per day (admittedly only about half of that actively playing audio) anyway, so I have no complaints on that count. The marketing verbiage makes a great fuss out of how small they (and their associated case) are, but - while this is inarguably true - I personally don't consider this to be a positive. Earbuds in general are already needlessly fussy to put in; adjust; interact with; take out; etc., and there have been viral internet memes for years since the announcement of the Apple Airpods about how easy they are to lose. The smaller they are, the more difficult each of these tasks becomes and the higher the likelihood of problems. I found these entirely too small for my comfort: it's unnecessarily difficult for me to take them out of the case and put them back in (significantly and unnecessarily compounded by the fact that the case design has them stored "upside-down" relative to the position they seem to be intended to fit into the ears, with microphone pointing toward the mouth), and virtually impossible to adjust them in my ears without engaging whatever user-interface function (fortunately, usually just volume up/down) is triggered by tapping the relevant bud. And this is coming from someone with hands smaller than an average adult female - imagine how much of a pain this would be for a "typical" adult human. Bottom-line is that, while they're quite serviceable - with excellent sound quality and more than satisfactory battery life - I found their user-interface design to be extremely problematic and beset by technical difficulties that I haven't experienced in extensive use of 2 other sets of Bluetooth earbuds by 2 different manufacturers. If you *really* *have to* have something supremely tiny over literally any and every other possible consideration, these are probably fine for you. If you want a comfortable, useable set of earbuds, and the incredibly diminutive size isn't a selling point to you? I don't think I can recommend these. Which is a shame, because the positives are definitely there. I suspect I could be very happy with another JLab product that wasn't so galdurned dinky.
