Customer Ratings & Reviews

They were to small. I like them they were just to small .for my ears.

The sound quality isn’t great. I mean it’s okay for audiobooks but that’s about it

One bud doesn't always work, and they have static.

Its ok i would want aomething better and more loyder to be honest for me

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.

doesn't fit good and easy to lose. sounds okay but feels bad.

I bought these to wear to sleep and listen to white noise. They fit in my ear perfectly. I cant feel them when i lay on them at all. Problem is a full charge lasts about 4 hours so i have to wear one at a time and switch them out halfway through the night.

Good sound for music not for phone calls sounds very low when talking to another person

Cuts in and out when phone is in pocket. Loose signal.

I really like the JLAB - JBuds Mini wireless earbuds. Small and compact, they are great for people with smaller ears. They are very comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. They come with 3 different sized gel eartips to get the best fit. They are very easy to use and easy to connect to your devices. You can even connect them with multiple devices. They charge quickly and last a long time, the package says up to 20 hours. I charged them initially and was able to use them every day all week without having to recharge. The charging case seems to have a battery that will charge the earbuds while in the case even when not plugged into a usb C slot, which is great for extending the charge when on the go. The case is also very small and includes a key ring, also great when on the go. The earbuds turn on automatically when you remove them from the case and each has a single, easy to find, button to operate the features with different numbers of clicks. They sound great too. They have several built in equalizer settings or you can download the app to further customize the sound. I’m not a fan of proprietary apps for headphones, in this case the app is not necessary to download in order to use the earbuds, but if you want to have more control via your phone, you have the option. The earbuds are also sweat and water resistant which is nice for workouts. Overall, these are really great, comfortable earbuds that are very portable and easy to use.

I wanted to love these earbuds but they kept falling out. I changed the tips and figured that it might help and they still fell out... I had to return them and I would be cautious if you are thinking about buying them

I was excited about these but the battery life is terrible. Once you bump down to medium there’s about 15-20 mins left before they die completely. Maybe a dud? I have a different pair from the same brand that are great.

Gets the job done but could be better. Good for what it’s worth.

The JBuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds are mini powerhouse in sound. Since it is a mini, even the USB-C charge and carrying case with key loop is mini and even to carry around! Downloading the JLab apps allows for some sound customization, which actually did wonders to the kinds of music I listen to. I used the bass boost EQ3 setting and it is pretty good for the size of the ear buds. The JBuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds is comfortable to wear out of the box for my ears. I can wear them all day and battery is pretty good. You can always recharge them in the mini carry case. I have nicer over the ear headsets, but these are my daily use go to units for on the go. It comes with two other sets of ear piece replacements for smaller and larger ear canals. For the price point, there is a lot value to be had for buying this set. The blue connection is simple to pair and will pair automatically once you take them out of the case. Overall, these are definitely a 5 star for the price point. I keep them with me almost all the time, because they are my daily ear buds and easy to carry around with the key ring. I have not lost them yet :)

Right ear piece does not work right after only 3 months of use.

This delivery was cancelled by the shipper without explanation. I've been trying to get answers and a refund. So far a bad experience

The mini’s battery dont last long at all like the regular labs do

These work fine for what I use them for - my office earbuds. But the sound is super low and it feels like its becsuse they are so small. These might be great for kids though!

Don’t like them If something like my hair or hat rubs them I hear it they don’t fit my ear. Money waisted really

Within a month of having i lost 1 of the buds. People have a hard tome hearing me. They are ok for listening to music and thats it.
