- Epic Lab Edition, True Wireless Earbuds, Hybrid Dual Drivers, Spatial Audio, Black

Let me start my saying I am no stranger when it comes to high-end, top tier TWS. If it sounds good and it performs well, I'm interested. I don't discriminate by brand, nor am I loyal to any one brand...all I care about is if it performs well. I own a wide range, from the Moondrop Space Travel, all the way to the Beoplay EX. In between, I've got the Technics az60, Sony XM4, Sennheiser MTW3, Status Between 3ANC, MW07 and the Bose QC2. I'd name drop more, but I'm not trying to brag. All I'm saying is I have heard enough of what's out there to make an informed decision and form a proper opinion on JLab's most premium offering. Long story short, these are fantastic at $200, and you should really consider them over anything else at this price range. Here are the main reasons: Sound quality: I'm not a pretentious audiophile, so you won't catch me talking like I can taste or touch sound. All those descriptors like how the mids are "brittle" or "crunchy" are absolutely moronic, and they don't help anyone who's actually looking to use common sense to make a decision. I won't talk about how the lows, mids and hi's are, and all that frequency talk is word salad. At the end of the day, here's what you need to know....there's this thing called "detail". It's what helps you hear each instrument individually and clearly. If you don't have it, you're listening to a wall of sound where things blend into each other. These have great detail. Listen to "Thriller" and you'll hear every finger-snap and every twang of a guitar riff I bet you didn't even know was there. Additionally, it's got a good sound stage. That's how far apart the instruments sound. You can again listen to "Thriller" and hear different instruments play in different parts of your left and right ear. Some parts play behind you and some play off to the left. Sufficed to say, it really helps with the immersion. Last thing about sound, the app has an EQ. It's pretty good. I recommend the Knowles preset =) Features: the dongle it comes with is the truth. It lets you plug into any other phone, tablet or computer you may have that has a usb-c port, and listen from there without pairing. Additionally, it's got some great codecs and Bluetooth version, all of which guarantee you get a great connection, which means better ability to stream a higher quality. It's got spatial audio, so you can listen to 360 audio on Tidal, and LDAC for all the cool Sony stuff. ANC/Transparency: it's not God tier, like the Bose or Sony, but it's VERY good. Combine the ANC with the good volumes this can put out, and you're in your own world when you want to be. Build Quality: metal case. Feels cool to the touch, and strong and sturdy to boot. It's small enough to throw into a front pocket and not make you look like awkward. There are way too many little details I'm not including, but there are very few downsides I can think of when it comes to these. Again, I've heard some of the best, and these are right up there. Give JLabs a try, you will not regret it.

I would never consider wireless earbuds for my gaming PC, but I was kind of forced into it because I had scalp surgery. My other set is an Audeze Maxwell that I've been using for about a year. I really liked the Audeze, but I was forced to look into the "gaming" earbuds market. I am admittedly an "audiophile" and have wasted plenty of money over the years on DACs, amps, and headphones. Now I am just looking for a good sounding set that is easy to use, wireless and no perceivable "lag." I tried Sony INZONE, Steel Series Gaming Buds, and Asus ROG Cetra Light Speed. Nothing was great and I felt like out of the bunch the Sony's were absolutely terrible. Steel Series does okay, but the sound quality is lacking. Asus was probably the closest to being a winner. Enter these JLab Epic Lab Edition earbuds. It comes with a BLE adapter, and has standard Bluetooth connectivity. Admittedly, I don't use them much on my iPhone as I have Airpods Pro 2. I did connect them and listen to music on these. It was a pretty great experience, but I used the app to set them up. The app is pretty bare bones, but it works for what I needed. I changed the tap functions to suit my needs, then I used these with the BLE adapter on my laptop, gaming computer and Nintendo switch. Honestly love them, as the fidelity is fantastic. I can't detect lag on the audio. The battery life is enormous (8+ hours) when using the BLE adapter. The noise cancelling is good enough to drown out most background noises but obviously not Sony/Bose/Apple quality. The sound quality is to die for, the dual driver has enormous sub bass, and very good midrange and highs. Playing Cyberpunk walking into the bar you can hear the bass and it's almost convincingly moving from tiny earbuds. Truly great overall and my absolute favorite audio product I've bought for my gaming PC. I use JLab Signature EQ and really do like it. Some people like "Knowles Preferred" but I found JLab Signature matches my use case here in "video games." Nit pick is the case is a little tough to open at first, but seems like its getting easier to use now. Also, I'd like to be able to delete noise cancelling off setting in the app so I can just jump back and forth between passthrough and noise cancelling as those are the only two settings I use. 5 stars from me. I hope they make the change in the app and these are like 10 stars for me as perfect.

I don't work in a peaceful environment with timid people, who are respectful of each other and know how to shut up. No. I work in a warehouse. Not a good warehouse. A small warehouse. With 30 people in a single room. People who literally SCREAM along with the music playing over the speakers. People who think being the most annoying person possible is funny. What's worse. It's 10 hour shifts. I've had enough. I decided, time for noise canceling headphones!! This review is for someone in the same position as me. That NEEDS, DESPERATELY, some way to shut down the noise around them. After much debate, I decided between two choices. The Jlab Epic Lab True Edition (200 USD) and the new Bose Quiet Comfort Ultra headphones. (250 USD) I went with these two because 1) I was very interested how jlabs new signature headphones would compare to the 20$ version they offer. I wondered how much better it could be for 200$, also I was interested in the Knowles corporation equalizer preset. Big audio company. 2) Bose is the leader of ANC headphones. I've never had a pair so I had to see what the fuss was about. I got both of these on Amazon knowing I can return the worst pair within 30 days. After using these, I want to apologize to my past self for not doing this sooner. I have broken them in over the past week at work, and it's the only time I have been there I haven't wanted to walk out within hours or gotten crazy depressed. I realized. I actually like my job. Let's start with jlab I'm going to get this out of the way. If you relate to my situation at all. These are not the headphones for you. IF you have a good life. A good job. One without people literally screaming in your ear 10 hours. Please get these. The audio quality on these are amazing. I was shocked. I honestly teared up when putting my favorite song on for first time. I heard parts of that song I have NEVER heard. You will experience this. The Knowles setting is life changing. These are a daily driver for sure. I am impressed. Comfortable and very water resistant. The active noise canceling is actually pretty good. I could barely hear my husband with music on. But my situation....multiple...people...yelling, in union, to Taylor swift. The jlabs can not handle it lol. It does get muffled...a bit. Which honestly, is loads better than just white knuckling it. But if you are looking for strictly ANC, don't get these at 200$. Are they worth 200$ on sound quality alone. Gods yes. Are they worth that...to ME. Ehh.. Bose. Honestly I was not expecting to like these as much. I heard a lot of things about loss of connectivity plus not being water resistant. In my warehouse. I do get water on my hands sometimes so I did not have high hopes. But let me tell you. The second I put these on at work, before the music played it did the ANC switch and I was the happiest I have been in months. It instantly took out the warehouse music, the machines, the fans, the background noises and 80% of the talking. I felt like I could breathe for once. The overstimulation gone like *snaps*. Then the music started playing. I was watching my coworkers mouths and I broke out in a huge grin that lasted minutes. I could see them talk, but hear them talk I could not. This is the first week in months where I didn't get depressed after about 30 minutes of that. So the ANC is legendary. The sound...is not. I keep looking at my jlabs like... ??? How do they sound so much better?! I think the bose default settings out of box is just too treble heavy. I used the app to set mine +9, +4, -2. That is the closest I can get it to sound like jlabs but they still don't. Why?! I don't know why. They still do sound good. Like a 8/10. That plus not hearing my coworkers discuss if lobsters have souls, makes this purchase on sale at $250 a steal for me. I'm going to be returning the Jlabs and looking for a future sale. I would like to have them in my collection for when I just need some good headbanging. Both headphones are great, but get the one you need for the life you live. Take care!

I never heard of JLab before I went researching for earbuds to use for work. I did get these on sale for $135 so that really enticed me to try these out. I mainly use them for work for Teams calls on my PC (dongle) and bluetooth with my phone. Music around the house and on walks is a bonus. Initial thoughts is "WOW" as the carrying/charging case quality feels great as it is metal and has a good heft. The materials used for the buds and dongle are also top-notch and feel high-end. There are plenty of earbud tips to personalize and I didn't have any fitment issues with the medium tips. The buds stay in the ear securely and surprisingly comfortably considering their weight. They are noticeably more comfortable than the JBL Quantum TWS and the Jabra Evolve2 Buds that I was comparing them against. They are even more comfortable than the similarly-sized but lighter Galaxy buds. The phone app doesn't have a ton of customization or testing that you find in other brands, but it works fine. Would be nice to see JLab work on it more to add more settings and features. Audio quality over bluetooth and the dongle is excellent. I'm not an audiophile, but they sound clear and crisp. Bass and treble are strong and the equalizers (especially the preset ones) are great. Microphone quality is decent and as expected from a earbud product. Obviously, it works better in a quiet environment. Turning off MS Teams noise suppression helps. ANC works, but nothing mind blowing. Should work fine on an airplane, but I wouldn't put it up against Bose or other higher end offerings. I like the Hear Through feature and that seems to work very well even with directional noises. There are a few things I didn't like about them... I wasn't able to simultaneously connect to the dongle on my PC and a phone over bluetooth. Using the dongle seems to make the connection exclusive and I have to unplug the dongle to connect to my phone. Couldn't confirm if that's the way it's supposed to work or just me. Also, when the buds are removed from the case a voice says "JLAB ON" loudly which is annoying. A nice tone or jingle would've been preferred. Some users also complained about the difficulty in taking the buds out of the case, but I have skinny fingers so that was a non-issue. The magnets are strong which keeps them from falling out. Although I'm having not a perfect experience using these with my PC and phone (simultaneously) I'm still keeping them as their comfort, audio quality, and battery life will definitely serve me well outside of work.

Sound quality: 5 - I'm no audiophile but the bass is punchy and everything else sounds good. Edit: compared to the skullcandy or JBL buds I've tried recently these sound amazing. Deep and clear. Volume: 5 - first earbuds I've had in a while that I could bring my phone volume down more than a couple notches from max and still feel like it was loud. Battery life: 4 - lasts a whole work shift (~8 hours with pauses) *edit: only 6 hours if you keep them going at high volume Design: 4.5 - carry case has a nice heft to it, like a heavy battery and all metal construction. Buds are fine, multi-function touch sensor does what it's supposed to. Comfort: 5 - no ear pain from wearing for 8 hours. Fit: 4 - because they have no ear loop they are more comfortable but I can definitely tell they are able to fall out if I don't seat them well. Not usually a problem so I'll only take off one star. Overall: I wish they were more secure but between comfort and sound quality I can enjoy these without the ear loop of sport models. Edit: everything just HAS to be electro-sensitive touch panel controls and in a dusty environment sometimes the controls actuate randomly. Also, I had these three months and the left one died (I dropped it a couple times but... Really?) For $150 I need earbuds to last more than a few months. It is annoying but even so I am considering buying again because all the other brands I've tried make my music sound tinny and hollow.

Sound awesome, but they don’t last. I have had these 1.5 months. They sounded awesome, deep bass and clear highs, the battery life is great. While using this week the right one went from 100% volume to 2% could barely hear some highs coming out of the right side. Full battery. I called prime and they said the return date had passed so I ack about the warranty, I was told to return them and they would refine my $134, I told them I want them replaced and that the price now is $199, Prime said to return then call after I reorder and they would give me a gift card for the difference. Hopping the new ones last.

These buds have a nice aesthetic with great sound. Case is mostly metal with a plastic bottom for wireless charging. The buds themselves are simply styled. The logo design makes them stand out just enough to keep from looking generic without being shouty. They do protrude from the ears, so they won't be good for side sleepers. They sound great with full, punchy lows and a warm overall sound right out of the box. The highs are clear, but not shrill. If they aren't to your taste, the sound profile is fully adjustable through the app. I love the inclusion of the dongle. Over a standard bluetooth connection it appears to be around 200ms, but with the dongle it appears to be around 25ms. Awesome for gaming without wires. The dongle is quite wide though, so using it with a cased phone will require an additional cable. BeAware sounds mostly natural, although white noise is present in the background. I hate that you can't change from voice prompt to tones. Listening to someone talking while you make settings adjustments is quite annoying and unnecessary. If you want a fully detailed review of the buds, I recommend looking up the review from "Aaron X Loud and Wireless"

Although the product has a premium feel when they're in your hands, the actual performance has left me fairly disappointed. There is a weird audio issue wherein the buds fail to produce the first 1-2 seconds of sound if no audio signal has been sent to the buds for some undetermined number of seconds. What I mean by that, is lets say you have no audio playing on your desktop or phone. You decide you want to watch a youtube video. You will, without fail, miss the first 1-2 seconds of audio on intro to your video, song, whatever - EVERY TIME. I "fixed" this by opening the recording options in windows on desktop, which sends consistent signals to the buds without producing sound. This makes it so they are always "on", and you will not miss the start of anything you want to listen to. Unfortunately this "fix" also cut the battery life of this product by upwards of 50%! They could barely last an evening. As well, there seems to be a pairing issue with the product I received. Several times it has played its alert stating that it has paired with my devices, yet despite this alert the buds will not produce any sound whatsoever. They will not do so unless I place the buds back in their case for a few seconds, and then take them out again. I initially thought that perhaps my devices were just not selecting the correct audio output despite the attempts at pairing them - Nope! Totally fine on that part, the devices say they are using the buds for output. The buds just refuse to play audio for seemingly no reason at all, and so I have to put them back in the case and take them back out again. This awkward, messy experience makes it seem like the money for R&D of this product went elsewhere. The quality of the audio (when it is actually playing) is fine, I don't really have any complaints there. Out of the box without adjustments, I'd describe the sound as somewhat warm, with an emphasis towards bass. That sound profile actually fits my tastes quite well. But the reliability, and consistency of the product itself? Not worth the price, unfortunately. Aside from the sound, the one other thing they do well is STAY PUT. The size of the buds are fairly big. I am not a particularly large person, in fact I am under average height, weight, etc. Due to this, the buds stick out quite a ways from my head, looking a bit odd. Despite this, I have to give props to those who designed the physical portion of these buds, because they do not ever run the risk of falling out of my ears. The designers deserve kudos there. I've ran into plenty of devices in the past that refuse to stay put, and these are not one of those. They stay where they need be, and don't fall out. Hopefully this review helps someone with their decision-making when looking for new buds in the future. If you're fine with the hassle, then maybe these are for you. For me, I want something that just works without these awkward experiences. I do not work in this field, I am sure it has its challenges and I do not envy the people placed in positions to overcome those challenges. Despite my lack of expertise though, I think it is fair to say that people spending this kind of money deserve a much more consistent, fluid experience.

I rarely give reviews but I have to on this JLabs Lab earbuds. I have had Earbuds Pro and JBLs. I am frequent flyer spending a couple of hours on planes and the ANC is amazing. The sound is excellent, good bass response, clear mids and highs. Excellent sound staging. The soft foam is little bit difficult to use but just like foam earplugs squeeze them to fit into the ear. So far these earbuds are amazing! Good battery life as well.

I have tried many earbuds, the sony's 1000XM5, Sennheiser Momentum 3, Samsung 3 pro, Bose Quietcomfort, Jabra 10 gen2, none of them compare with the quality of sound these pair can produce. The sound is just in another level. That said, noise cancelling and ambient modes are not top of the line, the sonys, bose and even samsungs have better N.C. The USB dongle are great too, cant get better earbuds for this price. Highly recommend.
