1 / 7Will these JBuds be your buds?
A 1 puts its noise isolation / ANC in the bottom 10% of wireless earbuds we've measured.
Measured on 133 of the 271 we've cataloged.
below average for wireless earbuds — based on 243 of 271 we've cataloged.
above average for wireless earbuds — based on 245 of 271 we've cataloged.
IP55 appears on 16% of the 244 wireless earbuds we've cataloged (of 271).
The JLab JBuds Air Pro tries to do a lot within its price range, and manages to be a very multifaceted pair of earbuds. The inclusion of Bluetooth multipoint, IP55 water and dust resistance, and Be aware mode make this a versatile choice for people who need a daily driver for work, workouts, and leisure. Sound quality suffers as a result of the bass-heavy frequency response, but if you really love bass, you might still enjoy it.
