JLab Go Airchat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Reviewers consistently say the sound rivals or beats far pricier earbuds like Airpods, Beats, and Jabra. Clear highs, decent bass, and adjustable EQ presets are frequently praised.

@MegaIkedog

I just ordered a pair of these on Amazon earlier today. I had an older version during the start of COVID that I loved. I used them so much the battery started to conk out over time. \nJLab is my go to brand for headphones and earbuds. I'm curious how their newer Bluetooth speakers sound....🤔\nThe default sound profile you get from JLab is perfect to me. Just enough bass, good mids, and noticeable but not shrill treble. \nSo many other brands seem to have too much bass and not enough treble, vice versa, or sound so flat and muffled. \nIn college I think I went through 3 or 4 pairs of the Skullcandy Jib and Ink'd earbuds because one earbud would just die. So frustrating.launch

I just got a pair of these at Walmart for $9.88. These fit my ear and stay in place better than any other that I’ve tried. They sound very good and the bass is not bad at all… and I love bass. Love it so much I have two JBL 18” subs and two JBL 12” subs with sub amps on my home system. \nRetail is now $29.99 on these and I’m sure, now that I see how good they are, that I’d gladly pay that if I had to. \nI bought them because they were on sale for under $10, though.launch

I just recently bought a pair of these jlab go air pops to replace my AirPods Pro’s after I lost them and these are so comfortable and have different sound modes and I love the built in charger and the battery life for me at least is unbelievable I haven’t even charged them yet and I’ve had them 2 weeks and I use them daily also they surprisingly have arguably better sound quality than my AirPods so definitely a 10/10 from me👌🏻launch

I swear, I have not touched both my Skullcandy Dimes since I got these JLab pop. I had to get two pairs of Dimes to switch them when the batteries got low. Now, with JLab pop, I don’t even need to carry the case, these ear buds never ran low on batteries. Plus the sound quality is much better, and the price is cheaper. As for the Usb, get over it. I like it, one less thing to not forget.launch

Many users report the Go Air lasting full 8-12 hour shifts and the case going days or weeks between charges. This led several to abandon other earbuds specifically due to weaker battery performance.

@andrewrodriguez8492

I saw these earbuds at Walmart and was interested. Watched this video to decide whether or not to buy and was convinced to buy them. I needed a pair of earbuds with ear hooks since I like to wear earbuds while working on the jobsite. I was using the Galaxy Buds 2 but those always slip out after 5 or 10 minutes of constant movement. I wore the JLab all day for the first time and they were amazing. The fit was nice and comfortable. They are very lightweight and didn't cause any pain like other earbuds I've worn. Sound quality is very nice and they have very nice volume. These never slipped out like the GBuds and lasted a whole 8 hr shift of constant playback. I'd highly recommend these for anyone looking for budget friendly earbuds. Charging case is definitely bigger though. FYI I cant fit two Galaxy Buds 2 cases side by side in one JLab Go Air Sport case just so you know 😅 They're not thicker, just wider.launch

@Boo-dawg.

I love mine. My son got them for me and they sound fantastic. I normally hate wireless ones but these hold a charge forever. Nothing hangs down from them they fit in like earplugs. I happen to like the charging system it's perfect for me personally. They stay put, I can bend or lay down on my side without them falling out. I wish they weren't so hard to get out of the case, I don't need them to feel glued in I don't carry them around in the case for them to fall out. But I'm overall very happy with them. The only kind I've ever had that I actually liked. Mine must fit perfectly because I can't hear anything outside of them. Even if I pause my device and a person is sitting right in front of me I have to take one out to hear someone talking to me. My son was so happy that I liked them so much because he knows I've wasted a lot of money trying to find something that sounds good and nothing had this much playtime I would watch a few videos and all my others would be on low battery. I've spent a lot more money on a lot less quality. And these were bought for me. So it's a win-win situation.launch

This earbuds is solely responsible for parking both of my Skullcandy dimes. I have two pairs of dimes. Because of only 3.5 hr. battery life on the buds itself, I had to purchase the second pair, and would switch buds when the first pair was low on juice. \nWith the JLAB Go Air, all I need is one pair, and can leave the charging case at home. The sound quality is awesome, the fit is great, the battery life is remarkable, and the price is unbelievable. This is an overkill compared to the Skullcandy dimes, it beat it in every category, hands down. \nThe only issue I have is, removing the buds from the darn case. There's no grip and my fingers keep slipping. Other than that, this is an awesome earbud, and is way underpriced.launch

Commenters emphasize the low $20-30 price point delivering performance that competes with much more expensive earbuds. Many say they saw no need to buy pricier alternatives after trying these.

@waiyyulying

Can concure value for the money on these is absolutely amazing. I usually use senheiser but have had quality control problems. Picked these up as a throwaway pair untill the nice ones came in. These give you 80% of the sound quality for 20% of the price. Feels decent built, EXTREEMELY comfortable. I was planning on returning them but I'll keep them as a back up pair.launch

Fantastic buds, these were great stocking stuffers at Christmas due to their promotional 14 dollar price in December. I bought 8 pairs for various people including myself, everyone is still happy with them! My personal experience after 6 months is that I am still shocked at the quality. I use them daily at work for over 9 hours, the fit is great without fatigue (they're very compact) and the battery lasts the whole day without going much below half battery. Sound quality is great, for reference they sound a lot better than my Bose headphones. These are very clear, I frequently hear stuff I never heard before in my music. Bass and treble are perfectly tuned, you can turn them up LOUD, I really don't have complaints. The case is very sturdy, has a built in charging cable, and is very easy to fit in you pocket due to it's small form. The case charge lasts about a week of heavy daily use, I have not noticed any sort of decreasing battery or sound quality.\n\nThese are a great daily driver, not expensive enough to break the bank if they get lost, sound fantastic, and they last due to their great quality. I will definitely buy another set for myself, I don't see any reason to buy a more expensive pair since these have been all I really need! 🙏launch

@Shlrine

I think their strategy is very good. They just cut out all \"premium features\" and instead focus on some important ones: touch sensory, water and sweet proof, drop proof, they enhance battery and gives some audio options. In general, by cutting all \"flashy\" features, they cut down the price while the quality is optimized. The same thing goes with a psychology effect call \"choices paralysis\" which means if you have too many choices and they are equally bad then you will be paralyzed and can't choosea proper one. Jlab instead found out that if they add low-optimized features, they actually make the experience worse. Therefore, they only added useful and high-optimized features. Moreover, no one expect anything like amazing microphone, or modern application control or somthing like that from a 20$ earbuds. This Jlab go air pop excels at what we need, and that's why I love Jlab.launch

I work 8+ hours a day at a lumber mill so wood dust everywhere lots a rain here in Oregon and I can't complain much if any about these buds they are pretty danm good regardless of the price. Not the best in sound but not bad either so for 20$ they are a no Brainer. Personally I like em better than the dimeslaunch

Users with various ear sizes say the buds stay in place during workouts, sleep, and daily wear without falling out. Several specifically compare them favorably to Galaxy Buds and other competitors that slipped out.

These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.launch

Multiple commenters report the earbuds surviving washing machines, water drops, jacuzzis, and repeated falls without failure. This ruggedness is repeatedly highlighted as unexpected for the price.

@JayJonahJaymeson

I love these things. I often wear one bud nearly all day at work, and if im working super long days it charges more than enough during like a 30 min break to last a full 10-12 hour day easily. The biggest issue I have with them is the touch controls kind of require using both buds at the same time to work properly(Left for volume down and skip back, right for volume up and skip forward), but it's not that big of a deal to have to grab my phone for that. Also I've dropped them a million times, and a couple of times from up on a ladder and they're still totally fine.launch

I had a jlab go air for almost a year, I dropped the earphones so many times in the span of those months that I had it and they always kept working, the charger thing looked messed up too but worked just fine, eventually tho I got really careless and lost them-The point I’m tryin to make is that these things are hella durable, my con with the jlab buds is that they aren’t good with sweat and if u have a hoodie they start to act uplaunch

Reviewers say the touch controls are responsive and simple to learn, including EQ switching directly from the buds without an app. A few found them slightly sluggish at first but easy to adapt to.

@23Djones

Just bought a pair from Walmart for work … not disappointed at all especially for the price . And you can Adjust the sound ( balanced, bass boost etc by tapping three times quickly at the center with them on it tells you what setting it’s been adjusted to each time you change itlaunch

@_-Z-

I agree. These are surprisingly good for the low price. I paid around $12 when they were on sale. Although they don't have the high end perks (ANC, transparency, wireless charging, in ear detection, etc.) the sound quality is much better than what the price would suggest (even at full price), they include full touch controls that many much more expensive buds omit for some reason, and the battery life is also really good (as you mentioned). I believe there is also a Jlab Go Air Tones that's supposed to be exactly the same except the color options are based on skin tones. Thanks for another nice review! 👍launch

I bought a pair of these for a buddy/coworker and a pair for myself after researching the best cheap earbuds. Now I do own \"higher end earbuds\" like the Jbl club pro plus, jbl endurance peak 2s, and Soundcore Spirit X2s, but I have to say Jlab go air pops have it where it counts which is the sound quality. Maybe I'm not enough of an audiophile idk but I do know I greatly enjoy listening to these, especially for the price. The real treat is the 3 eq settings adjustable from the buds themselves; no going into an app to configure them. Believe the hype with these!launch

Just picked these up and I'm impressed thus far. It's been years since I owned a In-Ear headphone but I finally found one with an acceptable run time (8 HR). The touch interface response time may be a tad sluggish and the built-in USB cable may be a bit too short but overall it's not much of a problem to me given the price point. Features like the preset EQ (3) is really nice along with the decent sound quality.launch

@randyescanuelas1565

I’ve had these for a while now 2 things I don’t like about these is they are not loud enough and I know for 30 dollars I can’t complain but they probably did it to cut back, or maybe cause they don’t want you to damage your ears idk but they’re definitely not that loud even though they sound really good. Second thing I don’t like is the no cover for the ear buds, and I know they did that to cut back obviously but I would have rather sacrificed the integrated cable for a lid, I carry these in my pocket all the time and when I pull them out they get full of lint or dust every time and it’s annoying cleaning the case deep down where the bottom of the ear buds sit is a bit difficult and trying not to break the charging pins. I just wish they would’ve made another version of these with a lid only because I think the size of these buds are perfect they’re not as big as the other ones, if they were all the same size I obviously would’ve payed more for a case with a lid but these are the smallest they don’t stick out of my ears a lot and that’s what I was looking for. Overall they’re great for this price point and offer about the same features as other brands that cost twice as much, they work with your smart assistant that’s a huge plus many others don’t support that. Battery is phenomenal, the controls are simple, they pretty much do everything that regular airpods do except that they’re louder of course.launch

@Chocobby559

Love these earbuds for the price. They aren’t perfect but definitely a great low price alternative to airpods. I use these daily to rollerskate/ run/ workout and I never have any problems with them falling out. I got my mom a pair for Mother’s Day and the the L earbud stopped working after two weeks, but after replacing them she’s had no problems and loves hers too! Pros: Charge last forever, EarPods magnetize in the case, sound quality is great(I mostly use them when I’m alone outdoors) but in loud places it may sound a lil lower, nice sleek case, built in charger Cons: EarPods are sensitive to touch with a slow reaction time(does that make sense lol?), sometimes the calls don’t automatically connect to the headphones while you’re wearing them, if you leave the earphones out everything dies. Kinda common sense but it’s annoying some times. Otherwise I love these and they were worth it.launch
