JLab Audio Studio Pro On-Ear Headphones

My son absolutely loves his JLab Studio Pro Over-Ear Headphones! They deliver incredible sound quality thanks to the 40mm Neodymium drivers and C3 sound technology, making everything from music to games sound crystal clear. The ultra-plush faux leather with cloud foam cushions is super comfortable, even for long listening sessions. He never complains about discomfort, which is a big win.The tangle-free cord is another great feature, especially for kids who tend to be rough with their gear. No more spending time untangling knots! These headphones are not just functional but also stylish in sleek black. The overall build quality is impressive, especially at this price point.Highly recommend these headphones for anyone who values comfort, durability, and great sound!

These headphones are super light and so comfortable with how they shape to your ears. Unlike other over-the-ear headphones, these do not squish your ears to your head, something that has caused me some ear pain with many other over-the-ear headphones. The lightweight also doesn't put any pressure on top of your head and fit as smoothly as one's own glass's do. I may have gotten up once forgetting they were even on.The sound is amazing and crisp and sound-canceling is very nice but not enough to completely block out all sounds. but for me, this is good. It still allows me to still be aware of say, my roommate coming to the door to ask me something, or something falling in the living room. It may be very quiet and I need to remove the headphones to make out what they're saying, but at least no one can walk up to me to scare the bejeebus out of me due to not being able to hear them. But it also lets me focus on what I'm listening to without the day-to-day sounds slipping in.I would like to note there seems to be some misunderstanding about the 'Tangle Free' label this has, as seen in another review.Tangle-Free means you can't KNOT the cord. The way it's designed if you were to try and tie a knot into it the cable won't allow it, the knot will always stay loose enough to just pull apart unlike in normal cords where if a knot were to form and got pulled tight, yeah good luck with that. So if you carry these headphones around with you in a book bag or whatnot, even if the cord managed to get tied around its self the cord won't become a knotted mess.TWISTING of the cable that makes little curly-cues and hoops are not the cord being 'tangled'. Seeing your cord forming little curls is caused by twisting or rotating of the cord, and every single cable, or heck object out there that has one end attached to a stationary object and the other to be free-handed will twist as you maneuver the one end.The fix is simple, just unplug the cord, or let the free end (like the headphones for these) free hang and allow the cord to untwist. Even my cellphone charging cable twists as I handle the phone, putting it down, picking it up, slowly adding twists into the cable. Game controllers can do the same thing. Even the mouse to my laptop will twist.

I got these in today, generally I was between these and Oneodio A71 after looking up whatever I could gather on reviews. I flipped a coin and these won. First off, the sound quality was surprisingly good ..don't expect some sort of super boosted bass or audiophile grade nuetral, these are pretty well balanced in all ranges and leans more towards a consumer neutral/flat with a slight bump in the bass. Hi hats on drums are pretty clear and defined, kick and snare drums have a tight, punchy tone but it's not overpowering ..I would know I have a drum set and other instruments to base that off of. The highs in vocals in some tracks were well produced and pushed forward so they don't blend in with everything else.Sibilance was pretty decent, some T's and S's were a little sharp from time to time but it wasn't ear grating or piercing more than my ears were not used to that much definition being pulled up, in an EQ you can pull these down a little to not be as sharp but out of the box it's not bad. Guitars cut through well and bass is subtle yet defined enough where you know where it's placed and hear clear notes. Imaging is pretty decent (not the best but pretty good coming from this price range).Soundstage and separation is okay. Though I will say the stereo imaging is not the best i've ever heard (yes, these do run in stereo ..with a slight caveat), sometimes I could swear it's like the headphones were faintly working in mono with some things. For example I watched a few ASMR videos to test the left and right stereo imaging and sometimes the person would do a trigger on one ear and if I removed that cup I could still faintly hear it on the other ear that wasn't getting the trigger treatment, though each side was louder than the other when it was being triggered. Overall their is spacial movement ..enough where you can tell these run in stereo but don't expect Dolby level surround sound.Playing games like Legend of Zelda: Tears of the kingdom, sounds were pretty decent. but, obviously due to the flatter sound profile it's not exactly as emersive as it would be with a proper set of entertainment based headphones that have something like Dolby surround sound. That said, you can tell how well detailed sound design is in the game. So it is usable.On the other hand with FPS games, you might want to pay a little more attention to spacial sounds like enemies close by, the stereo imaging having a mono like effect takes some getting used to. But once you figure out how the sound balances itself from one ear to the other you should be fine.Build quality is pretty decent and light though some parts do reflect the price a bit, I wear glasses and these have been pretty comfortable so far with no forceful pinching or soreness. The plastic on the cups isn't cheap feeling plastic, but it's not premium feeling either. The headphones clamp with a comfortable amount of pressure and the cups foam pieces are decently comfortable though not plush, the pleather isn't the softest but it's decently comfortable, could get better after a bit of wear to breaking in.The headband seems to be made with this thin flexible metal band sandwiched between this cheap styrene-like foam. It sits comfortably on the head and is pretty airy in weight, making the headphones comfortable for long hours of use. The metal adjustment slides on the cups are a little on the thin side but they're not super bendy like one would think (I wouldn't go throwing these around though since it might bend). No rotating hinges which kind of sucks. There's a flat wire on each side that runs out through the folding hinges and into a opening on the ear cups, personally I would've liked if they had they made that a soft round cable or braided than a flat one.Passive/ambient noise isolation is pretty good, it's not ANC but it blocks out a good amount of outer noises like low rumbles and even highers pitched noises, my dog barking in the other room was muffled and was barely even noticeable at higher volumes.These are marketed as a consumer studio headphones rather than a full on studio headphones. (This is where my nit-picky gripes come in.)They label it as "Studio Pro" and as most of us know, a majority of studio headphones have a detachable trrs aux connection on one ear and a 1/4 input connection on the other ear, along with 90° rotating hinges.If Jlab would ever get into it, it'd be nice to see a more premium analog Studio Pro (wired) (no Bluetooth) with 40mm stereo drivers, preferably with one side being detachable trrs aux and the other side having a port for 1/4 connection, maybe have the aux be in-line braided and the 1/4 be a braided coiled cable with straight to straight ends.Have the ear cup design be oval rather than tear drop shaped to accommodate for more natural open frequencies to bounce around the ear. Make the adjustable metal slide pieces just a tad bit thicker and set them out a bit to add pivot/rotation on the hinges, it'd make the set feel a bit more solid and premium while making them flexible.Or I'd say make something like the OneOdio A71 as reference ..but a Jlab version. They pretty much already have what it takes to make this model Hi-Res too, given the similar specs I'm seeing around on other brands marketed towards entree level audiophile grade over-ears. The driver tunings are pretty decently close to producing a high quality neutral.Overall: I'm pretty happy with this pair. If they broke I'd replace them with the same ones ..or I'd wait for an upgraded wired version. (Kind of wish companies weren't so hung up on wireless being the end all be all of audio, analog is still the leading connection for quality audio)

Before buying these headphones I was using a set manufactured by a different company for both my desktop computer and my stereo CD/cassette/LP player located in a different room. Which required continually unplugging the headphones and carrying them back and forth. Finally got tired of it and bought these JLab Studio Pros solely for the computer. The JLab phones are lightweight, fit comfortably over the ear, but have slightly less fidelity than my other phones. However, they are good enough, especially for the low cost. The comparatively short connection cord is also an asset as there is less of it to snarl or tangle. This is definitely a good product and I may buy another set to wear while listening to music when working in the yard!
