Title: Highly recommended!
Review: From the moment when you'll open your amazon delivery box, you'll thank yourself that you got a GOOD NAME Brand & QUALITY product for $49. They come in very good packaging, clear, easy to understand instructions/guide. The plastic case, buds & rubber tips are VERY VERY HIGH QUALITY for $49. Plus, the they have 8mm drivers, which is GREAT!Specifications:Speaker: Φ8mm Dynamic (most of the wireless earbuds in the market packs 6mm driver), Neodymium Magnet, 20Hz-20kHz, 32 ΩOutput: 103±3dbBluetooth Version 5Range: 30+ ft.Support Protocols: HSP/HFP/A2DP/AVRCPMore info: https://www.jlabaudio.com/products/jbuds-air-true-wireless-earbuds-charging-caseThings I love about them:::= Sound quality: It's balanced, rich and fuller. Very good amount of mids, balanced highs and good enough lows and bass. Bass is not very punchy. Overall, I love how they sound + you can change the sound signature by tripple clicking either of the buds. You can choose between Jlab Signature/Balanced/Bass Boost. I personally like Jlab Signature. It's V-shaped EQ, I prefer this. Check this spotify playlist created by TLD (Jonathan Morrison of YouTube): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3wmqwmIrP6MFizjiyM7k6y . I've listened all these tracks with these buds connected to MacBook Air and they sound AMMMAZING!!= Call quality: I haven't receive any complaints from my wife, so I believe they sound good. You can ONLY use right earbud for calls, thats a bummer. Call sounded very good coming from the bud, even on NY subway stations.= Build quality: Its a QUALITY product. Feels VERY good comparing to any of those other unknown chinese brands. They are very high quality earbuds, case & rubber tips.= Functionality: I prefer touch control, but there is always risk of accidental touch on them. These buds have very good button. They are not firm, easy to press and have rubber Jlab logo. And because the buttons and buds are BIG, they are easy to hold and press. I was able to use all of the controls quite easily.On RT bud: Click x1> Volume up & answer call; Click x2> Trigger Siri/Google assistant & end call; Click x3> Toggle between 3 EQ; Click & hold for 1 second> Next track & reject call.On LT bud: Click x1> Volume down; Click x2> Play or pause; Click x3> Toggle between 3 EQ; Click & hold for 1 second> Previous track.ONE thing to note, although these have volume control, it is NOT earbuds volume, you will actually control the volume of the device. They don't have independent volume. On high end earbuds/headphones, they have own volume, independent of the device volume.= Battery life and charging: 3-4 hours. You should be able to finish 2 movies depending on their lengths. They charge quickly, 15mins of charge will give you 1 hour worth of playtime. Included USB cable in the case is a good touch. I love it.= Fit in ear: They came pre-installed with medium ear tips. But I felt comfortable with smaller tips & without the rubber fin. With the fin, it does not fit in my ear very well. The rubber fin makes them more bulky.= Connectivity: VERY VERY good. I use them with Google Pixel 2 XL phone, Samsung Tablet, MacBook Air and my Samsung TV. I HAVEN'T yet encountered ANY connection drop yet! Which is AMAZING. The left did reconnected 2-3 times, but it happened within a second. So far, connection is SOLID! As good as my Sony over-ear headphones.Things I don't like:= Size: They are bit big, bulky and not very ergonomic. And the bulk does not provide any extra battery life. I guess 8mm driver makes up for it. The case is FAT too. It is NOT comfortable in a jeans pocket. I REALLY WISH these bud were little smaller! And I wish the battery life was little longer than 4hr in single charge.= During standby (not playing any music/video), the white LED on both buds stays ON (constant on). It looks weird when you have both buds on your ear and not playing music, the white LED stays on!In the end, I think they are THE BEST earbuds from a reputable audio company for less than $50! The quality it provides at this price, is remarkable. I don't why I didn't get recommendation about these earbuds before. I had to try and return two other off-brand earbuds.I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these without any hesitation.

Title: High value, with a couple of issues
Review: First impressions of this product are positive. I purchased these at $50. I have not purchased other earbuds but consider myself and audiophile and am rather picky, but still think the sound quality and functionality of this product are amazing for the price. Other products might do it better, but not at this price. You can expect to receive an above average build, sound quality, and functionality for this price point, with a couple of small quirks/concerns. Details below.I tested the range of these earbuds by walking about 50 feet away from my phone and they performed the same as if my phone was in my pocket, but I did run into a problem early in its use. The earbuds need to connect to each other, then be connected to your smartphone. I put the earbuds into their case to charge, and when I took them back out, the earbuds disconnected from each other and I had to look online to figure out how to reconnect the earbuds to each other by looking on their website, which was a hassle. If this happens frequently, it could be a big problem for these earbuds. This is my biggest gripe so far.My phone connects with bluetooth 5.0. Older phones that only support older versions of bluetooth might have worse connectivity, so keep that in mind.The earbuds are pretty big compared to wired earbuds, as most wireless earbuds are, but I personally don't feel the difference when wearing them. This is mostly just an aesthetic issue, and I personally don't mind.As with all earbuds, make sure you try all the eartips with and without the included cushfins, an extra padding for the outer edge of the earbud. A good fitting eartip should maximize comfort, sound isolation, and bass level, so make sure you pick the one that works for you.The comfort of these earbuds are average to slightly below average. I would expect some slight discomfort after about 2-3 hours, even with the right eartip and with the cushfins on, which, for me, helped with fit.I would've liked for the case to be flatter. It's rather spherical so it fits awkwardly in my pocket. The material also isn't the greatest but seems sturdy enough to protect the earbuds and stay in one piece. It's really light, maybe the weight of a few quarters. If you're planning to carry this in anything other than a pocket, the size is fine.The USB-A charging cable is under the case and can be tucked into its socket, where it stays firmly in place. It's a very short cable though, and is pretty awkward to charge. I would've preferred a usb port inside the case where you can plug in a longer cable while the case is open, but I'm nitpicking.The buttons are a little hard to press so when you press them you're shoving the earbud into your ear which is a little uncomfortable.Mids are a little muddy, but the overall sound quality is really good for its price.The earbuds make an audible hiss when they're connected and it's silent, but they do stop hissing after about 3-5 seconds of idle.Will update the review if things change.

Title: Compared to Apple Airpoids
Review: I have Apple AirPods which I think are great but I am one of those people who have large ear canals or something. They don't fit all that well and I was tired of them falling out so I needed an alternative. Here is a comparison to AirPods.1. Sound: I think both have great sound. For me since, the Jlabs had customizable tips, the sound is better since the seal is tighter and I don't have to readjust constantly. The bass is very good. The sound is balanced.2. Pairing: if you have iOS, nothing compares to the ease with pairing with AirPods. Having said that, the Jlabs are pretty good once you do the initial pairing. It takes a few seconds longer but they do pair automatically with your phone once you open the case. AirPods are better at switching from phone to iPad or other apple devices understandably.3. Fit - as I said more options with Jlab. I hate the way AirPods fit. I tried running with the Jlabs -- not great. I think I have to switch out the tips. Because the Jlabs sit a little top heavy in the ear, with jogging it can dislodge. I'll try different tips.4. Case - Apple wins. The Jlab case works well enough but I am not sure why it as to be so big. You can put it in your pocket but it is big and bulging and not something you want to cary around in your pants pocket.5. Range - Jlab has about 1/2 the range. Doesn't matter to me though, I don't tend to keep the phone far away from my headphones.6. Battery - not as good but very good nonetheless. Depends on how much you listen but I can go for days with one charge of the case.7. Price - Jlab so much cheaper. I don't think the advantages of the AirPods are worth $100 more.I'd highly recommend these. If I had to do it over, I would skip the AirPods and get these at a fraction of the price.

Review: It’s useless to add photos if you understand the review. I was sceptical to say the least. How can a sub 100 dollar with tax Earbud sound incredible? Well put simply, make sure to use the largest ear tips that fit tight and make sure to put the Cush fin on properly to make a great seal and fit. Once you do that, you enter a completely different and new immersive world. These ear buds rival ones at triple the cost! I just bought a pair for my wife who loves music delivered in high quality. It’s her birthday!! I give these earbuds a five star rating for sound, battery life and shockingly for comfort!!

Review: (11 OCT 2021) i was very exited to order these ear buds but after getting them i found i couldn't even turn on the right ear bud, so i thought it wasn't charged enough so i charged the case and the ear bud for around 2:30 h but the case said that the right bud was fully charged. (the blue light not turning on on the right side) also a note the ear bud would flash as if it was charging but on the seccond flash the ear bud would just cut out

Review: Usually when someone starts a review with “for the price..” it means the product has its downsides. But for the price these headphones are great. These are actually a pair I bought for a relative. Ive had my own pair for about 3 years. They are great, fit snuggly. Can use one or both. They pair easily and as soon as you take it out the charging case they will reconnect in seconds. Great sound quality. The charge pod seems to last forever on a charge, the built in usb is handy too. I use them for running and while gardening. They’ve taken some abuse over the years (between dirt, sweat and rain) and still work as good as day one.Only negative is the microphone for calls. I’m assuming it’s because it’s no where near mouth, you have to shout to be heard. If it’s just for music -100% recommend.

Review: Sono eccezionali, come suono e funzionalità (permette pure la regolazione del volume). Li ho ormai da diversi anni...e non li cambierei con nessun altro prodotto. Li uso solo per ascoltare musica, mai per telefonare.
