JBuds Lux ANC, Over Ear Headphones, Active Noise Cancelling, Bluetooth, Spatial Audio, Sage

Good price and great audio. The headphones are also pretty comfortable. I was looking for something to listen to my audibles with that would cancel excess noise and be comfortable even with my tragus and conch piercings. Those piercings, especially the conch can be irritated with pressure on them for long periods but the ear parts are soft on these headphones and they cover my ear so no pressure. I use these in the house, mostly in bed but I've used them while doing laundry and they're lightweight. AI recommended these as a budget option for the Sony/Bose headphones. These are my first headphones since the 90s! They are well made and at $50 I think they're an amazing find. The headset is adjustable and the buttons in the external ear cap allows me to change from noise canceling to aware, play/stop and increase and lower the volume without needing my phone.

These are more entry level earphones but they are also a great value. Controls are similar to other earphones and can be customized. Comfort level is pretty decent but is based on your ear and head size. They are not too heavy so you can wear them for longer periods of time. Usb-c charging and pretty good battery life. Bluetooth connectivity is pretty fast to my phone. Also comes with free app; it includes controls, software updates, EQ adjustment, noise cancellation (ANC) adjustments, music and movie modes, safe hearing limits, 9 ambient sounds included on the app(rain, sea, birds, flying, fan, forest and some others). Also in the app there is a burn in function (do not have earphones on when using this function) these will help loosen up the drivers and kind of tune them. You can just leave them power on, place them in the table or the bed and activate the function and it qill play different tones and noises to exercise your earphones. It will continuously do it, you can turn this function on and off as you please. Then there is the button control guide that ahows uou how to control earphones in case you forget how to operate them. The app is actually very nice they put some time into it and its pretty good and very comprehensive. Now lets go to some things people might not like that much, these earphones have feedback, if you tap the outside casing you can ear it loud and clear its not that dampened. The other would be the noise canceling it works but is not 100%. Now we have to consider the price I paid like $50 when they had them on sale and for that price range these are excellent. I had some sony and JBL in around the $50-$150 price range and to me these have better features and are more comfortable. I don’t think you can go wrong buying these as an entry level Noise Canceling over the ear headphones. These are a great buy to start venturing into wireless headphones.

You can not beat the value; TLDR: Feel like 200 dollar head phones and are great value. Best value over ear headphones and by a mile. You can not go wrong with them. My wife had a pair I loved and once I got my pair I barely take them off. Not only are they extremely comfortable the materials of the product are so much better then you expect for the price. When you think of what a pair of beats would be like for how expensive they were but this is the opposite of the case here because these are not over priced at all. This is an amazing headset my favorite part is the noise canceling is very very good and let’s you just escape and if you have issues with sensory overload, these can help drown out the back ground noise. My wife uses these for work because the mic on board is very good and very clear and the audio on calls is so loud and clear! There are couple buttons on the headset for volume up and down, and there is a noise cancelling toggle button but this functions as two buttons also allowing you to switch between music audio profile. There is an app you can get on your phone and it comes with so many features such as burn in, audio profile to use and customize to your liking. You can make presets. The audio it self is very good nice bass good lows and highs and with the noise cancelling together it sounds clear and powerful. You can easily adjust the headset and the quality of the product allows this to shine as you can adjust it will stay at that level till you adjust it again. Nice cushions where your ears and head rest against the device make it extremely comfortable. My wife has had her device for more then a year now and it is still going strong so they are built to last. I’m excited to have this device for a long time it’s not common to find a device that is such a great value for the price. If you want some really nice head phones ? Do not pass these up. They give $250 head phones vibes for no where near the price. Great buy .

Had these for just over a year now and they have held up great. They are a very high quality with a durable build. Plus I got them in white and they don’t show any signs of wear/tear. I did buy a case to store them in, so that probably plays a role in that. They fold up to be pretty small without the case but the case adds some bulk if you choose to get one. These don’t feel cheap at all. The sound quality is excellent for the price as is the noise canceling. I use these almost every day at work for hours and hours on end and they never hurt. The battery life is also IMPRESSIVE. I feel like I don’t charge them very much and they last forever between charges. I sit in a cubicle where you can hear everything around you, but if I have music or a podcast playing you can’t really hear any outside noise. Without music playing you can still hear people speak, but I’ve had a lot of ANC headphones (and some much more expensive ones) that can’t block out voices without music playing. I have a pair of AirPods Max and a pair of AirPods Pro and these JLabs are by far the ones I wear the most. I haven’t timed anything, but I would say they are the most comfortable for long periods of time and have the best battery life out of the three. I never have any issues connecting or staying connected to my phone. Really I have no complaints. If you want a good pair of ANC headphones these are amazing. Could the sound quality be better? Maybe? Honestly I’m not an audiophile so I don’t know but I think they sound great.

Viewed strictly as BT headphones, the JBUDS LUX are pretty decent. I find the sound quite good for movies and fine for casual music listening. The ANC and pass-through features are of some use, and the headphones are comfortable enough for, e.g., watching a movie, though the earcups don't "breathe" very well (I notice some reviewers refer to them as "sweaty", which is fair enough), so you'll probably want to take some breaks between calls (it makes a surprisingly good phone headset) or if listening to music for an extended period. If you're interested in knowing more, details follow. USE CASE (you can skip this if not interested): Just to provide context, I'll mention I bought these at an attractive price for dedicated use with my living room TV, which supports Bluetooth but puts the pairing/unpairing bits behind such cumbersome menus, and behaves so badly with dual-connect BT devices (forcing you to completely reset BT volume, etc., when the headphone's interrupted by another device), that I prefer to just keep a pair of headphones paired exclusively to that TV. Since I normally listen through a home theater sound system, I prefer to use more value-priced headphones for such occasional private-listening use. SOUND QUALITY: It's what headphones are for, and the JBUDS LUX does the basics competently. They're replacing my old blue JBL E55BT phones (which were getting a bit the worse for wear, various bits of plastic trim breaking and the earcup cushions falling apart), and get pretty close to those in sound quality, the JBL being a bit "brighter", the JLAB's high end a bit more subdued, for what that's worth (no EQ tuning with the app for this comparison since I'm pairing them directly with a TV); as TV headphones they're kinda great. I'm no audio critic, but I've watched some music videos with them and there's nothing distracting about their performance, which is more than I can say for some other bargain headphones I've tried. Switching to them directly from my Bose one can notice less distinct highs and less overall "warmth" to the sound, but heard on their own they're perfectly fine. ANC FEATURES: Overall noise-canceling performance is a bit unusual. First off, hats off to JLAB for having an actual OFF option in the ANC control cycle, not just an ANC/aware toggle. In cases where neither ANC nor pass-through is needed, turning those off maximizes the already long battery life, a welcome option. Passive sound isolation is pretty good, so I usually have the ANC turned off. As for the ANC itself, my experience has differed from reviewers that claim turning on the ANC does less than the headphones' passive sound isolation, in that my own casual testing showed significant noise reduction. It probably depends on what sounds you're trying to cancel - it works best at reducing the volume of continuous background noise like fans, road noise, etc., not so much for more transient sounds. So it's somewhat effective and not very sophisticated, and that's about what I'd expect for this price point. I won't be taking them on an airplane (where my Bose QC 45s do really well), so we'd need feedback from someone who's tried that for more of a torture test. The headphones' "aware" mode is a different matter, and unlike what I've experienced on other headphones offering a pass-through feature. It's quite functional, but somewhat low fidelity. While it's easy to hear your surroundings in this mode, sound quality is somewhat boxy/tinny, a bit better than an old landline phone (should you be old enough to recall ever hearing such a thing). The Bose headphones mentioned above are my daily drivers for music and podcasts, and by comparison has such natural sounding pass-through I sometimes forget I have them on. That's not something that would happen with the JBUDS LUX. MICROPHONE: Especially in light of the so-so pass-through sound quality, one surprising feature that bears mention is the microphone quality on phone calls or meetings. Folks on the other end of the line tell me the sound matches or surpasses that of my old Sennheiser and current Bose headphones. I tend to prefer boom mics, but apparently what's built into these earcups is better than I'd have expected, so on top of everything else it would be a good phone headset. COMFORT AND BUILD QUALITY: These are quite comfortable for value headphones. Both the earcups and headband are well-padded, and the adjustment mechanism feels solid, with satisfying detents to make it easy to return to your preferred setting after, e.g., collapsing for storage. The controls are also satisfying to use, with enough tactile feedback to ease operating by touch alone (more on this below). The earcup pads are covered with a soft vinyl-type material while the part of the headband sitting atop your head is fabric-covered. I think fabric earcup pads would have improved comfort, since the material covering the stock pads doesn't really breathe too well, though this would likely compromise the sound isolation a bit. Going back to the Bose QC 45 as reference, its protein leather earcup pads breathe well enough that I've worn them on multi-hour plane flights without my ears getting uncomfortably warm. You'll want to take occasional breaks from the JBUDS LUX. CONTROLS: The controls are easy to operate and do the job quite well. The three control surfaces are: - a round button on top to cycle through ANC settings (ANC, aware/passthrough, off) - a rocker/toggle in the middle to handle volume (just click once in either direction to go up or down), track skip (push and hold to jump forward or back, though as with any such control the exact behavior will depend on the specific device or application), or cycling through EQ presets (press both sides of the toggle at once). - a round button at the bottom that handles power, BT pairing, call answer, and even summoning your Google/Siri assistant. I got used to these quite quickly even with limited use. Like a lot of modern BT devices, the JBUDS LUX provides voice prompts for certain events like startup, shutdown, etc. The voice is clear and easily understood, though I'd note the mild disappointment in its tone when saying "JLAB off" is amusing. One small thing worth mentioning is that the headphones not only report their level of charge to your paired device (if, e.g., your phone shows you this), but also announce the state of charge during power-up. That voice info is really useful in my case, since the TV I'm using doesn't report battery level for connected BT devices. I make special mention of this because the EB55BT, like some other JBL speakers and headphones I've owned, never reports battery level at all, just produces an annoying beep when the battery is "low" (whatever that is) that gets more frequent until you charge it back up (or the headphones just stop, I guess). VALUE/RATING: Something to consider in assessing the value of these is the price. I got them on Prime Days for less than $50, but they're currently closer to $80, which is getting close to the "on sale" price of some better hardware. That said, the price on the JBUDS LUX swings about quite a bit, so maybe put it in your shopping list and keep an eye out for buying opportunities. For $50 this is a 5-star value, but the listed "full" price knocks this down to a four-star.

Pros: Very comfortable over-ear fit, good for long use Solid sound quality with clear bass and vocals Active noise cancelling works well for everyday noise Easy Bluetooth connection and stable pairing Stylish mauve color and nice build quality Cons: Noise cancelling isn’t as strong as premium brands Slightly bulky for travel or compact storage App/features are basic compared to higher-end headphones

I’ve been really impressed with these headphones so far. The sound quality is clear and balanced, the noise canceling works great, and they’re comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time without bothering my ears. The battery life has also been solid, and they connect quickly and easily to my devices. Overall, these have been a great value for the price and I would definitely recommend them!

I was looking for a pair of noise canceling headphones to help me with my sensory issues. I’ve tried different kinds of earbuds (loops, flares, etc.) and can’t stand the feeling of them for long. When it came to headphones I’m much more used to the feeling of pressure and heat while wearing them as I do a lot of gaming, and I wanted to avoid that for daily use. Comfort: These have none of the above issues I mentioned, there’s no pressure on my head, no heat or discomfort. They’re extremely lightweight and adjustable. I have large gauges in my ears (7/8”) though I do have small ears, and they still fit perfectly and comfortably and don’t pinch me at all at the bottom. The design allows them to fold up small enough to be easily held in one hand (and I have very small hands) or put inside of a purse or bag for travel. The ANC settings: As an autistic individual I wanted these headphones purely for this purpose, and it works FANTASTICALLY. I turned on the ANC and could no longer hear the electricity and fridge running in my house, it muffled outside sounds so well it was actually almost uncomfortable, it gave a sensation of cotton in the ears for me. The next setting was be aware mode, and it also works fabulously. This setting seems to listen to surroundings and amplify it through the speakers so you can better hear what’s going on around you, even while listening to music, similar to microphone playback or pass through on gaming headsets. The last setting in ANC modes is ANC off, this setting feels and sounds like a normal pair of headphones, just enough muffling to be comfortable and still hear things but just dampens it slightly. Movie/Music modes: These headphones also have movie mode and music mode, there’s not a huge difference between the two but I found when using movie mode to watch videos it sounds more similar to being in a room with the person speaking, so there’s much more clarity to me. Jlab App: I found the app to work perfectly for me, as soon as I opened it with Bluetooth connected it found the device immediately, and then started an update. There is preset EQ versions, and a fully customizable EQ board. You are also able to fully customize the button settings from the app. My favorite aspect of the app is that it has built in ambient sounds that you can layer and customize such as rain, birds, space, and frequency music. I found the sounds to be very relaxing and actually well done, often times ambient sounds, like birds, can be too sharp which just adds to sensory overload for me; these are more soft and clear sounds. You can even adjust the individual volumes for each sound. The music quality is great even on basic EQ settings, it’s not mind blowing by any means but there’s nothing I would complain about. And the built in microphone seems to work very well on phone calls, I was told I sounded clearer than I normally do over my iPhone 11. I genuinely don’t understand how this headset could have such negative reviews unless they either got a bad set or didn’t use the app to update their headphones. UPDATE YOUR HEADPHONES with the app BEFORE you test everything out. I noticed a difference in sound quality after updating. I only wish these came in more punchy colors like hot pink or lilac, other than that, they’re perfect and worth every penny. I’ve shared them with a couple family members who will be ordering their own sets as well.

Quería unos audífonos sobre los oídos ya que viajo mucho por carretera y en avión entonces me topé con está opción. La verdad no soy experto en calidad de sonido pero no tengo ninguna queja. Se escucha muy bien y el noise cancelling funciona de maravilla. Lo que más me gusta es que la batería les dura un buen, estoy en la oficina con ellos puestos por 9 horas diarias y los recargo cada semana o más.

Isolano bene e sono comode. Ottimi audio e microfoni per le chiamate. Bisogna abbassare volume perché altrimenti "esternamente" si sente cosa ascoltiamo o ci viene detto in call. Piacciono

Brilliant. Comfort personified. Prompt delivery and great professional packaging. Pretty colour!

I put loads of research into an affordable set of headphones for my teenager and these have been great for him. Loves them. Awesome battery life and the ANC works really well. He already didn't listen to us and now he can never hear us HA. Been great for road trips as-well. Definitely recommend these

Best in class in this budget segment . ANC does fine. Superior sound quality. One can compare the clarity to jbl live 770 NC which I use along side. Needs little tweaking through jlabs app. I found sound clarity to be nice with a good soundstage too for this price. App supports updates too and got an update immediately after connecting for the first time. Ear cuffs are designed uniquely than any other over the ear headphones. One little issue with the ear cuffs though, it gets really hot around ears after some time and we sweat heavily. That issue may be because the muffs provided covers entire ear with a very snug fit. Earmuffs are soft and durable. Battery life is amazing. Haven’t charged even once since started burning in. It’s been more than 30 hours playing on 70% volume with ANC on and still the battery shows 60 %. Over all good built quality is good even though made of plastic and doesn’t feel cheap. Bluetooth connection is great and supports google fast pair. Haven’t noticed any lag or disconnection ever. Just go for it if you are in budget and you won’t be disappointed.
