JLab Audio JBD101 Review

JBuds Hi-Fi Noise-Reducing Black Earbuds  8/10

By

JLab Audio JBD101For comfortable, inexpensive earbuds that provide sharp sound, you won’t be disappointed by the JBuds noise-reducing earbuds. Ideal for people who find over-the-ear headphones uncomfortable to wear for long periods, these earbuds are designed so you almost forget they’re there in your ears. The sound quality is remarkably clear, too, considering that these are $9.95 headphones. You won’t get the full depth of sound you would expect from circumaural headphones, but it’s still sharp and the bass doesn’t muddy. If you’re a student or someone who travels by air frequently, you’ll appreciate how the buds muffle ambient sounds, too.
