JLab Go Air Pop True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds + Charging Case, Slate, Dual Connect, IPX4 Sweat Resistance, Bluetooth 5.1 Connection, 3 EQ Sound Settings Signature, Balanced, Bass Boost

Honestly, these are the household go to earbuds. I have bought other expensive brands, but these have been the best so far. They’re inexpensive and the sound quality is really good. My son listens to a lot of music and takes these everywhere. We have even left them in the car on a hot day and they still work great. They charge pretty quickly (about an hour) and are user friendly. The volume can get really loud, which can be nice. There are other adjustable inner ear sizes, to fit your ear just right. They are comfortable and quite literally my son sleeps in them. They cancel out noise very well and are super portable. These are better than the apple ones and we have had both.

I am surprised by the quality of this product. Easy to pair, good sound quality and holds its charge. I have apple pods and I would say that these are as good at a fraction of the cost.

I recommend these as an inexpensive earbud set. I like that they're red, so that stand out on my messy desk. I needed a new set to of earbuds, and decided Apple wasn't getting any more of my money in this space. I'm not thrilled with the longevity or support apple provides for their airpods pro. I found these on a list of of good cheap earbuds, and I'm happy. They work fine at the gym. out of the box, with the default rubber ear tips, I ran a mile on the treadmill this morning and I didn't fiddle with these once (for fit). They stay right where they're supposed to, which is not something I can say for airpods pro or another pair of earbuds I'd been using at the gym. These are not audiophile grade headphones. if you want that, keep looking. They do isolate pretty well. The base on the bass boost eq setting is just ok. But the sound is balance enough that it's not overly "tinny". I hate cheap speakers, and these don't sound too cheap. So while it's not the finest sound ever, it's still far from junk. Technically, coming from airpods, there are two downsides I've noticed (both survivable). 1 - with my fingers - the buds themselves are very hard to remove from the charging case. If I never had owned airpods, I'm not sure I would know this. on the other hand, I think they seat really nicely in the case, and thus they always charge. The airpods famously don't always connect inside their case and sometimes aren't charging when you think they are. I'm ok with it, and I assume I'll eventually learn the "trick" to pulling these guys out with ease. 2 - these were very easy to pair to my iphone. HOWEVER, unlike airpods, once these are paired to a device, they CANNOT be paired to another device unless they bluetooth connection is disconnected from the first device. e.g. with airpods, you can go back and forth between a macbook, an iphone, and an ipad, simply by selecting the airpods from the device. With these, if I was using them with my iphone, and then I want to use them with my ipad, I need to turn bluetooth off on the iphone for a moment until the buds are "free", and then I can connect them to my ipad. Sub-optimal, but not a deal breaker for me. / a few pluses. 1 - I can side-sleep with these in and they don't hurt. yay. 2 - I love that the usb charging plug is integrated into the case. last thing I need is more cables. 3 - again, for me, they fit well. Snug, almost to the point of being too big, but they don't bother me. I'm really impressed that they just stay put while I'm running and I don't need to constantly push them back into my ears for fear that they'll fall out. / I haven't really had these long enough to have an opinion on the battery life. I haven't tried using these for calls yet, so no opinion on the microphone.

UPDATE: My AirPods are dying and have been constantly dropping Bluetooth with my phone, so I borrowed these from my daughter to wear for the day. I have had the right bud in for 7.5 hours and the battery percentage (which actually does show up on my phone screen in the control center) shows that I still have 40% battery life left. I also have not dropped Bluetooth once (!) and they still feel comfortable and light in my ear. I’m pretty astounded, actually. My AirPods would have died hours ago. The only issue I had was when I received a phone call. My phone rang, as well as hearing the ringing through the earbud, but when I answered, it did not automatically connect to the earbud at all. I had to talk into the phone normally. I also have noticed a distinct difference in the bass level between these and the AirPods. I don’t know how much of it has been the slow death of the AirPods, but these sound so much better than the first time I tried them. 10/10. Do it. Old Review: I heard these were a pretty decent earbud set for the price and decided to try them out as a backup set. I’m coming from AirPod Pro (1st Generation) and prior to that, the Jabra 75t. I have to admit, this isn’t bad for a $25 set of earbuds. One of the reasons I switched from the Jabra 75t’s (aside from the fact I had to get warranty replacements TWICE), was because I wanted to be able to use each earbud interchangeably and Jabra did not have that at the time. I’m actually quite surprised that JLab included the functionality for this price point. The charger being built into the bottom of the case was a nice touch and I appreciate that both earbuds go in the case magnetically, as well as the lid being magnetic as well. It paired easily with my iPhone 15 Pro and my daughter’s iPad. These are definitely lighter than both my Jabras and Pros. They fit in the ear nicely and I could see myself being able to wear them for a while (doing most things) and not have them fall out. My ears must be different sizes because my Pros consistently fall out of my left ear, but stay pretty good in my right ear. There isn’t an app for these, so while you can change songs, adjust volume, and use Siri by pressing the buttons on the earbuds, you won’t be able to tweak any part of the sound. You also will not be able to check the battery percentage and will have to go off the audio prompts it gives you. These also do not have noise-cancelling capabilities (which I honestly wouldn’t expect at the low price). So, here’s where I’m taking off one star…the sound. I’m not an audiophile. I don’t typically listen to music so the majority of my use is podcasts, audiobooks, or YT/Twitch vids. The sound is a bit muted (…not an audiophile) and not quite as clear as my Pros. For that reason, I likely will not use them unless I need to charge both my Pro earbuds at the same time…and both my Jabra’s are dead, haha. They would be fine in a pinch, but not something I would choose if my Pros are available. I also cannot speak to the battery life as I haven’t used them for more than a couple minutes, but what they promise (32 hours) is extremely impressive. I ended up giving them to my daughter to use as she only has over the ear headphones. I will say it’s a great first set of earbuds for kids as you do get a lot of great features in a lower priced set.

These are the best quality ear buds in the low price range by far! They sound amazing, very clear, good bass, no distortion or crackling and plenty volume. The charge lasts really long, they connect automatically and decent distance. I've had mine for over 1.5 years and still good as new. Just bought a new pair for a Christmas gift. At the low price... they are amazing! You won't be disappointed

I love using these when I can get them to stay in my ears. The sound is great, the case charges easily and quickly. It comes with 3 different sized tips. I have found I need two different sizes for my ears. One ear had to have the smallest while the other ear had to have the medium. Sometimes they will still pop out but that is more a problem with my ears, not the Earbuds.

Let me get a couple cons out of the way first: an earbud shaped like the airpods pro would probably be a better fit for me, these sometimes feel like they could fall out while I'm doing rigorous exercise they have a tendency to "pop" a bit when I'm adjusting them in my ears occasionally, nothing too bad though While I'm playing my switch, they unpair every time I put the switch in sleep mode. Sort of annoying if you are someone who steps away from your game a lot but understandable. This may just be a setting on the switch itself though Now that's out of the way let me just say I love these earbuds. Granted they are my first pair of wireless earbuds, I have been a wired earbuds girl forever and didn't want to have yet something else to charge. I figured I should take the plunge since a lot of devices don't even have a headphone jack anymore. I had a lot of concerns but I'm so glad I chose these as my first pair. Sound quality is on par with wired earbuds I would usually buy like Panasonic or Skullcandy. I'm not much of an audiophile but I think these would sound pretty good to most people. Plus they have three different sound modes if you want more bass etc. The case and earbuds themselves feel sturdy and well made, the buds fit nicely in the case to charge. The built in charging cord is a plus for me, I don't have to dig around for any cables. It is very short but that doesn't bother me, and you can plug it into a PC or wall charger. However you won't be able to find much in the way of cases for this model due to the built in cord. I love that you can use the buds separate from one another, sometimes I use only the right or left if I still want to hear my surroundings. I see a lot of complaints that only one will pair. Just know after pairing only one bud, if you want both to work afterwards, you have to touch the touch pad on both seven times quickly while in the case, this will reset them and you are good to go! If you are having trouble pairing with a second or third device, make sure you forget the Jlab buds on the other device before connecting to the new one. I was surprised that these were able to connect to my super old iPod touch from like 2010. They also will work with an older model Fire Stick. So far the battery life is great. I have used them during a few workout sessions and the battery is still full. For my uses I'd say they will need to be charged maybe once a week if that. Touch controls: I'm getting spoiled to this. It's nice to be able to change the volume/pause/song without touching your device. Many other buds at this price point or higher don't have any touch controls at all. I don't find them to be too sensitive. Overall I would definitely recommend these to a casual earbud user who just wants the basics on a budget. Tbh I don't see myself ever spending more now that I know how much I like this product!

Feb 2024: I am not sure if my current issue is fixable but maybe a day or two ago i noticed the right bud is not working ... it seems to be normal when i put it in the case but it never turns on anymore. The left bud is a-ok. Really this didn't last (note: i did get these used-like new and i have used them a bit) as long as I'd hope but it doesn't change my opinion. For the price (say $19.99) you can do better .. even if you have to wait for say a lightning deal on something like the TOZO T6's for $22.99 or something ... BUT ... i'd not say "these are horrible, avoid" ... the sound isn't the best like i said but they are small and really comfortable ... and while they dont have the best sound ... i have heard FAR worse ... just a little EQ'ing and these sound decent for relaxing music (one of my main uses) .. for podcasts or something ... that doesn't matter as much anyway (EQ'ing them) .... I will update this if i find its an easy fix but even a few resets hasn't gotten the right but to turn on yet. April 2023 Update: well ... I see these are $23 now ... I dont think they are worth that much (just a few $1's too high, dont get me wrong) ... but I got mine used-like new for $12.50 and I have seen them say at the $16 or so range ... you know .. these aren't 'great" but they are not that bad. I think say for podcasts or whatever they are fine ... you can just find better for music (even "jlab signature" and eq'ed on top). having said that ... I have used these at night for sleeping and they fit great. I HAVE gotten use to being careful with the built in cable (still not a fan of that though ... if a cable breaks you can replace it... if this breaks, your charging case cant charge the earbuds). I hate to act like any of the buds I still have are "not comfortable" but for me, comfort wise, these are up there. As long as you dont expect these to be top quality buds (NOR worst of the low price buds, again dont get me wrong) .. I think people may like these Update 2+ condensed) After using these for a bit, and even counting the best EQ option (Jlab Signature) and a v-shaped EQ on top via Wavelet (app) these still do not sound as good as some other pairs i have, however using them for side sleep (whatever side faces the pillow DOESN'T have an earbud in), these do a surprising good job at passive noise cancelling for me. While they also dont sound the best... they dont sound "bad" either ... you can some real no-name duds below $20, .. these are decent for that sub $20 price range to be clear. I gave these 3 out of 5 stars but really its maybe between a 3.5 TO MAYBE a 3.75 to be clear ... maybe more toward 3.5 in my book though. I'd say look at TOZO first for deals ... but I still recommend these. They are comfortable to me too ... like they dont feel too big ... just right. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: 1) I did notice one day when it was REALLY humid the controls seem to get wonky ... like sometimes my presses weren't "registering" and then others would which would mean i'd do a function (change track for instance) when i wanted to change the EQ mode instead... it doesn't alway happen but it has once or twice in constant use since i bought these. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i have to say the default tips + the size of the buds combo are nice ... I have ( .. even just to test THESE) been using these sleeping at times rather than my TOZO T6's and while i love the T6's i haven't found the "perfect" eartips for them that fit me (so to speak) ... at times with these Go Air Pops ... I hardly notice they are in my ears ... I didn't even open the little bag with the other tips to make sure (note: bought "used - like new") I got the other tips, yet my one con that I REMEMBER typing this update is the sound quality ... .ok for the price on "JLab Signature" EQ but bang for your buck ... counting deals on Amazon ... you may be able to do better. So far Battery Life seems decent enough ... a little shorter than I expected but like i said i am using these for sleep and i count that time that I am sleeping so .... yeah battery life is good for the price, I'd say -------------------------- First I want to mention this is all based on my first impressions after a few hours of use, only … things may change later. Bluetooth Earbuds I have are TOZO’s T6’s and NC2’s (two pair now), Fiil’s T1XS with app support, and Edifier’s TWS1 Pros and Earfun wise the Air Free Pro 2’s, (Returned due to a number of issues) Earfun Free Mini’s and to be clear… Earfun Free’s that were sent to me unexpectedly after they saw my review of the Free Mini’s (thank you Earfun) … point being is that I have experience with a number of earbuds even if I do use some more than the others (no real particular reason). Right away I noticed these opinions Pros - Fit – to be clear none of the buds I have are really “uncomfortable” in any way but these just fit good, with the default tips … or what I am guessing is the default tips (comparing them to the default TOZO T6 tips, they seem the same size) …. Unless my ear starts to itch or something, I HARDLY notice the Go Air Pops are in my ears. I love my TOZO T6’s (form factor wise the nearest on the list I mentioned, to the same form factor as these)… but these just seem to fit a little better. Update a few days later (after writing the prior paragraph) – these while they have fallen out from time to time… these are very comfortable. When using them for sleep (whatever side of my head faces the pillow if “side sleeping” doesn’t have an earbud in) … they are more comfortable then the TOZO T6’s I have used for the same thing before and with these there are times I barely know they are there, and I really like that. - Build quality – I will not say these have “great” build quality .. that just seems to be overstating it but these do not feel as cheap as the Earfun Air Free Mini’s. Some ultra budget earbuds have a quality where it just feels like the cheapest plastics and materials were used … not the case with these buds, even if they don’t scream ‘high end quality” either. - Battery Life – I am not going to act like I have counted or even really paid attention but these seem to last awhile and even after falling asleep for a bit with these… I cant say I have ever woken up to them NOT playing … since I bought them I had to charge them once and (just in case, I probably didn’t have to) then a second time, just to make sure the case was fully charged at that point, but I just had no idea the case’s charge then and it could have been say 70% or something and the second charge was un-needed. I’d say I am “impressed” by the battery life being good. ------------------------------ Pros/Con (??) – This may be my least favorite sounding earbud I have but … from what I remember of the Earfun Free Mini’s … they do sound better than they did … and I love TOZO but I can not compare these with the TOZO A1’s which I don’t have …. say comparing these to the TOZO T6’s seems sort of unfair as the A1’s (TOZO brand wise) are more of the equivalent to the Go Air Pops. They could sound the same for all I know. I do notice a difference using the built in EQ’s (note too that no matter the headphone or earbud I tend to have an EQ setting or app with a “U” to a “V” setting applied) … but not much … I do agree that the Bass Boost mode CAN muddy things up at times … the Flat EQ setting …. makes it a lot flatter sounding (no matter what I listened to) than I was expecting … I mean FLAT sounding … NOT “neutral” like I’d describe the TOZO T6’s for example. The best setting between the three is Jlab’s Signature sound which boosts the Bass and the Treble in a V like sound signature. Like the Fiil T1XS’s many EQ options and customization, for instance are nice to have, in my view … the default sort of “V” signature THEY offer is also the best THEY sound. If I am not mistaken .. the “Jlab signature” sound EQ setting IS the default and it does sound the best, like I said. After a few days and a “side-by-side” comparison to the TOZO T6’s I have (some of the others are in a higher price bracket … I am trying to be fair here) the T6’s do sound “sharper” and “crisper” …. sort of hard to describe if you don’t get what I am saying … however, forgetting these I got “used-Like new” for $12.50 … I’d sort of say they are worth $19.99 (typical price) … but I’d HONESTLY spend a tad more for the T6’s ….if someone did ask me about these “go air pops” ...”yes or no, at 19.99?… no commentary” … I’d say yes … if you note the con’s (below) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Cons - The built in charging cable. - I do have to admit I KNEW about this before hand and this was not a surprise ….. A) the length … I mean many earbud’s cable that comes included IS short, but this seems extra short. I may pickup usb “extension cable” to use with these buds which ACTUALLY may solve the other issue …. anyway I just do not like how short this is, where depending on how you are ABLE to charge this, the case has to be dangling somewhere with all the weight of the buds and the case on the built in cable. To keep it as a built in cable I know they HAVE TO make it small or double/triple the size of the case itself … that makes sense to me … but I’d just rather have a say separate USB-C port + cable for instance B) I didn’t even think of this at first but with the prior Jlab model that didn’t have a top on the case (not sure who’d like that design idea) … but the built in charging cable the way Jlab has it, has the bottom (even when it’s tucked into the case) pins exposed… .this seems like a really bad idea for dust/dirt/etc to me but for the record I have only just gotten these and NOT had issues with this yet … just something that seems like an oversight or something. - Max Volume - this may or may not always be an issue but especially if you have audio that is not normalized (the default level of the source audio is too low vs what it should be) ... the max volume of these earbuds may not help. I never truly paid attention to reviews saying how loud certain buds are, but I do notice that compared to some earbuds, the MAX volume of these or even "on tick down" from max is what i have it on a bit (note: sometimes i do have a black Honeywell fan on next to me) .... when some other buds ... say oh 70% to max (guessing, but it's close) is good for me volume wise. Again this is not always an issue with good source audio or if your not in a loud/noisy place ----------------------------------------- Summary (again based on first impressions) I think if you count lightning deals there may be better options when others go on good sales, but these aren’t bad. I can “deal with” the sound not being the greatest, but that charging cable A) being so short and B) the pins being completely exposed I do not like and maybe a deal breaker for some. I can’t say I 100% recommend (I mean counting deals there are better options out there .. even for a LITTLE BIT more in price)… nor can I say I don’t recommend (even with issues like I said) … they aren’t bad … as a backup pair or if you are just curious about theses … I’d say go ahead and give them a shot.
