JLab JBuds Pro Bluetooth Wireless Signature Earbuds, Black, Titanium 10mm Drivers, 10-Hour Battery Life, Music Controls, Noise Isolation, Bluetooth 4.1 Extra Gel Tips and Cush Fins

I literally had the lowest expectations for Bluetooth headset rocking such a low price. I bought these for the gym so I said, what did I have to lose? It turns out, I won with this one.Right off the bat, I noticed how well it was packaged. It was like they forgot I, the consumer, had to get in. Sealed up nicely, compartmented and just, excellent presentation.Secondly it was fully charged right out of the box and was ready to go. The set turned on quickly and I didnt read a single instruction; it was literally the simplest thing. It fits my small ears which is usually a problem and it was easy to install the replacement earpieces.The audio is clear which I'm grateful for. I hate when headphones have that bass-y, cheap undertone to it and the mic is also pretty clear! I cant hear my surroundings with the music on which is perfect for my gym and the loud music they play.I'm going to run it this week, see how the battery goes, how the wearability is and then we'll see if this headset can get a 5 star rating.I would definitely recommend.Update [May 4]: So I ran the battery for a few hours, forgot I had them on, set them down and turned about like usual. The battery seems solid. It died like....the next day. I did notice that the mic doesn't do the best, best job of suppressing backgrounds so sometimes when I'm out walking, it's difficult to hear what I have to say. Still, for the price, this is still an excellent pair. Upgraded to 5 stars!!!Update: Oct 25: When its nice, do it twice! Bought a purple so I could rotate between the two. Updated recommendation? Get a case! I accidentally left it at the bottom of my bag instead of in my case and damaged the older one I bought earlier this year. It can still turn on and off but the down button no longer works. Easy work around. Still great quality for the price!Update: Oct 25, 2024!: These earbuds finally got a short on the left ear today. They have been through the wash, my babies gums and tumbling around in my gym bag. Over 2 years of service. I ordered a purple and lost them earlier this year and ordered a teal which I use to alternate. I gave my mom a blue. Can't go wrong for the price. Thanks JLab!

I have purchased 6 of these over the last two years and will keep on purchasing them as long as JLAB makes them. Here are the reasons:* I lose my headsets on a regular basis. I'm in my 50s, and its not gonna change. These are very inexpensive and meet my quality needs. When I lose one, I jump on Amazon to get another - usually on sale for fifteen bucks.* I have tried dozens of other in-ear headset brands, both wired and bluetooth, to work with my android phones. I have smallish ears and the vast majority I have tried simply fall out after moving around a bit. This really sucks when doing dishes. But these JBuds have a very well designed fin that keeps them in my ears. In fact, the only downside is that the fins are not attached, but are removeable - I have lost a few pulling them out of my pocket. Will they fit everyone's ears? I have no idea - but if your ears on on the small side, I say give them a try.* Although I do lose my headsets regularly, I lose the JBUDs less than airpod style headsets, in part because the wire that hangs on my neck (which I dont even notice any more) are large enough to give them staying power in my pocket and are brightly colored and easy to find.* PLEASE NOTE: The sound quality of these for music is terrible. I do not recommend them for listening to anything that needs strong basses and clear treble, like music. HOWEVER, I need these for listening to podcasts and talking on the phone for work. They reliably provide clear, loud-enough audio to people on the other end and have never dropped a bluetooth connection for me. This is super important to me as I can't stand talking with my phone at my ear or by speaker phone.* They are small, and lightweight, but very durable for the price. I have yet to have one fail. (Although it may because I lose them all within a year :-(.IN SUM: Do not buy these for quality music listening. They are insufferable and will cause you to hate music. However, if you need a bluetooth headset for talking and podcast listening, these are incredibly affordable, clear and reliable. If you lose headsets regularly like me, its a very light drain on your budget.
