JLab Audio JBuds Pro Signature Earbuds

I keep buying these because they're reliable. They don't move around a lot due to the ear guard. I can control the volume and go forward or back on podcasts or songs, even take calls without using my phone. They're discreet and it's all one piece so there's no fear of missing one earbud. I wish they got better range, they sometimes randomly disconnect from Bluetooth and the buttons break, but for the price it's hard to beat. I've tried the expensive brands (beats, Samsung) but come back to these because I know they work, they can take a beating, I can work out and sweat in these and they're easily replaceable. I get new ones like once every year to year and a half.

They fit well, the sound quality is good, and I can walk decently far away from my phone without losing sound. Why two stars, then?The second the earbuds hit 40% battery, they interrupt whatever you're listening to to loudly inform you *literally every 60 seconds* that you have a low battery. I timed it. This is not an exaggeration. It should warn twice TOPS. Maybe once at 40% (though I honestly would not consider 40% low...) and once again at 10%. This is so utterly obnoxious as to make the earbuds completely unusable after only 60% battery expenditure. I cannot imagine who thought this was a good idea.

Comfortable Bluetooth Ear Buds

Sound quality is good. Fit in ears great without causing any pain. They will pair with most devices. I did have issues with after pairing with TV, they do not work well with smart 4k TV. They blip in and out crack sound. I plan on keeping them based on working well with phone and other devices. When a call comes in it lets you know by speaking it, just tap the power button and you will hear a quick beep letting you know you are connected as well as disconnecting. The sound has enough bass that its comfortable sounding. Play time so far 12 hours. Fast charging. Easy to connect to Bluetooth devices.Recommend for quality sound, price, and comfort.

Comfy Wired Buds

I need wired buds for a few older devices, and I also find the time lag with wireless just too long for phone conversations. My ear conch and canal are narrow and deep so fit is a real problem. The hard plastic part of most buds rub the sides well before the soft eartip seats. S,M,L doesn't matter -- it's a DEPTH issue. I mostly use M, but switch up occasionally as the soft silicone gets stretchy with long use.These work!!!I'm now on my 4th set of these JBud Pro Wired Buds! I think the previous 3 all lasted at least 2ish years (the warranty period.) They really have a comfy fit (wish there was a 3rd notch to slide them deeper, actually!) The fins keep them seated without irritating.The dynamic range is pretty good for voice, audio books, etc. which is my ... MoreI need wired buds for a few older devices, and I also find the time lag with wireless just too long for phone conversations.

I use them for hours a day, and while I try to be gentle with them, eventually they tend to have a wire break near one or the other earpiece. That's my only complaint -- make the wires into the earpiece more secure/ stronger!

Great fit & quality for price; Color is off

I've been looking for a replacement for five-year-old Bose wired sport headphones that unfortunately got destroyed. I expected a suitable replacement to be expensive, but I've tried several options and these JLabs are far and away the best option I've found, and among the cheapest. Both my wife and I have a pair of these and they work well for both of us (she's 5'2; I'm 6'1). The combinations of bud sizes and the separate silicone fin attachments work well to keep the buds in during a run. The fins are soft and comfortable and the sound quality is good. It's not the highest quality possible, but it's really solid for the price. My main complaint is that the "Teal" color is pretty far off from how it appears on the box and online. The color on the box looks very much ... MoreI've been looking for a replacement for five-year-old Bose wired sport headphones that unfortunately got destroyed.

The color on the box looks very much green; the headphones themselves are very much blue. Closer to the color of the box itself than the headphones pictured on the box. Not a huge deal, just a strange inconsistency.

Great quality! Still has wear and tear issues.

I've bought several pairs of these over the past year and some change, since the audio jack on my phone died and I saw the light of bluetooth earbuds. I may have been sent an older model by Amazon in my most recent pair (the voice is significantly lower quality and still very loud, but they functioned relatively well?), but all of the ones I've bought in-store have been phenomenal. The cord is a great length to not get caught when they're out of your ears, the clip works well and securely, and they're pretty well balanced for keeping the mic near you during calls. The audio quality is excellent especially among the price range, and with the right fit, it's even clearer. The included USB cable is also very quality, I use them for pretty much everything now, and they ... MoreI've bought several pairs of these over the past year and some change, since the audio jack on my phone died and I saw the light of bluetooth earbuds.

The included USB cable is also very quality, I use them for pretty much everything now, and they can even do data transfer!The only reason I've had to buy multiple over time is because of hardware failure. In some, a volume button has depressed and stopped responding (not fun when you can't lower or raise the volume one way or the other) and in others the left earbud has had wiring issues the hub after a while, the same way fully wired earbuds have with their jacks that make it only work at a certain angle, etc., and I don't think that can really be avoided. I'm sort of rough with them because I wear them almost literally all day, but they have some of the best longevity even if they do eventually fail. I only have to replace them every 4ish months instead of monthly like other brands I've tried. After a while, the charging port cover also became more loose, but that may have been fixed in newer models. The blinking light while in use can also be pretty bright if it's dark, and it does glow through a shirt.If you're easier on them, I'm sure you can get a lot more longevity out of them. Very much a quality product in the price range! It got me hooked on JLab products because of the comfort and quality, especially the fins! But for now, I think I'm moving to true wireless for that little extra cost. Thanks for reading!

Two stars, but it was a whirlwind romance.

The features on these earbuds were a cut above for the price: nice mic and earbud controls, nicely fitting ear inserts that kept these snug in my ear, and a right-angled cable connector that makes these less awkward to use with a phone. Music, voice chat, and telephone calls all worked smoothly, and the sound quality was excellent for earbuds at this price point. People I spoke to had no trouble hearing or understanding me, and did not even realize I had swapped from PC headset to these earbuds with my phone.This all sounds very positive, right? So why two stars?!Well, the cable is apparently poor quality, and did not hold up for even three weeks, after routine wear and tear. After two weeks, for no obvious reason, sound in one earbud no longer worked. Midway ... MoreThe features on these earbuds were a cut above for the price: nice mic and earbud controls, nicely fitting ear inserts that kept these snug in my ear, and a right-angled cable connector that makes these less awkward to use with a phone.

After two weeks, for no obvious reason, sound in one earbud no longer worked. Midway through the next week, the earbuds started sending random headset button presses to my phone, but only occasionally. Unfortunately, we will never know what might have been, as the next day I entered the room in order to greet these earbuds, and discovered that they were, in fact, deceased.So: great features and function at this price point, and I really loved the purple scheme. But I can't give more than two stars to a purchase that died in the crib.I'll always remember our three weeks together, my lost little purple one. We'll always have that.At least that is what I said in the Walmart review at your funeral. But you were not yet cold in the junk drawer before I had a new pair whispering in my ears. And oh, how I laughed and laughed.Because how dare you give up on us after only three weeks! So I left a lousy two stars by your grave...and one of those was a charitable donation, a parting gift out of pity. I've already moved on.Oh, and isn't it just like you to stay silent, waiting for me to reach out across the void and need you. Of course that is what you are doing. Pathetic. I don't know what I even saw in you.And I won't do it, you hear? I won't bridge the void for you! Not anymore, not for you, not ever again!...you are SO cruel, just sitting there in silence, like you are the limp pieces of the dead headphones of my heart, just watching as I unravel myself in front of you...my agony, all this pain...do even my pieces mean nothing to you...? Did you chuckle to yourself while you made a picnic of my heart...?And still nothing. How did I ever believe you that you cared...really cared? Ugh. I am such a fool. I don't even know why I came here to give you the sick pleasure, the show of watching the last good bits of me make themselves into ash...I, please, I did my best to love you in the time that we had. It was you that left, and not me. Not me. It's not my fault that I couldn't be the owner you needed. I didn't leave you. I never would have.Please, my heart. Talk to me. Just give me a sign. I miss you, my purple. Just...please. Something. I'm not asking for much...........Fine, forget you.TWO STARS!That is my goodbye to you. It is all that was left to say

Well worth the purchase

My family and I have used these exclusively for about 5-6 years. I used to have a semi-long commute and would talk on the phone every day. My teenaged kids had these for the Covid home schooling period. I made the most recent purchase because my 16 yo finally broke her set after more than two years of daily use. These are the ones she asked for due to the extra wings on the buds that help conform and hold them in the ear. She’s tried the AirPods and the corded version but doesn’t like them because they won’t fit right. I’ve had these things go through the washer and dryer on several occasions and they have always worked after. The usual reason these break is the cord gets caught on something and results in a broken wire. So basically it’s operator error and not the ... MoreMy family and I have used these exclusively for about 5-6 years. I used to have a semi-long commute and would talk on the phone every day.

[Rewarded Review] Disappointed

I have four year old Apple EarPods that are just fine except they have a lightning connectors and all my devices don’t these days. I was going to buy new usb-c EarPods but decided to try these. Big mistake. They are horrible. The sound was mediocre at best and they stopped working while I was sitting and listening to music. Just flat out died, exactly a week after the return period was over.Save the extra money and just get EarPods or anything else for that matter.

these headphones should be $5

i bought these because i needed a replacement pair. A pair to get by until i bought a better pair. I assumed these $20 of headphones would be sufficient. they're absolutely terrible. First the chord attached to the ear buds is extremely short. Theres one control section with no counter weight on the opposite side. So what happens is the extremely short chord pulls to the right. So im constantly fighting with the headphones to keep them around my neck. this by far one of the worst designs for headphones. do yourself a favor and spend the extra $10 or so and buy the sony or skullcandy headphones. i literally wasted $20. i didnt keep the case because i didnt think walmart could screw up a $20 pair of headphones. but to my suprise they did. i probably shouldve just went ... Morei bought these because i needed a replacement pair.
