The verdict

If the large housings of the original JBuds Air turned you off from the cheap true wireless earbuds, the JLab JBuds Air Icon are a great reason to reconsider. The ‘buds have been downsized from the first generation model and are now outfitted with touch-capacitive panels. These are some of the best cheap true wireless earbuds you can get.
