JLab Audio Neon On-Ear Headphones

I've had these for a month, plenty of time to get to know them. I have named them Clementine (left) and Clearance (right). These were purchased over similar models because of solid reviews, and also because they're just a bit different looking among a throng of black or "rose gold" or white ear apparatuses, and that slight difference appeals to me. One of their oddities, along with their cool assembly of colors, is that the cord dislodges itself from the left-hand side, not the traditional right-hand side as I've seen in similar models. The cord also has a mute button, which is nice if you want to be just a smidgen rude but not entirely rude to anyone who dares talk to you while you've got your tunes, your games, or your work. You can be just a little bit rude and still leave your headphones perfectly in place while you're bombarded by ridiculous inquiries. Another press of the mute button and, viola, you are back to your own little world. They're a bit nostalgic, in a way, reminding me of the original Sony headphones that I first got in the seventh grade, and actually still own, as they still work, though the ear pads have fallen apart and now leave dark, leatherette specks everywhere, so that I look as though I'm covered in fleas (I'm not—that I know of). These headphones are simple like the Sonys, have the same sort of design, but the cord is much shorter. I'd recommend getting an extension, a three-foot extender would be adequate. I purchased the twelve-footer because I'm a blacksheep overachiever. If you have another external jack someplace, like on your external speakers, you might not mind the shorter cord if you're at a desktop computer, like I usually am. And obviously this shorter cord works fine if it's being plugged into a portable device. The jack is 3.5 mm standard, but it's not a flat jack like a lot of headphones (including my old Sonys), but has a 90-degree angled jack, more like what you'd see on a DC adapter plug. This is not a flaw by any means, it's just a bit odd. Again, probably part of their overall wish to be a bit more dynamic in the area of design. Also, with all my chitchat about the cord, you should probably realize by now that these are not wireless headphones. You don't have to charge them. You don't have to worry about battery life. It's kind of nice that way. Got a long flight to Fiji and need headphones for napping? Get these. Going on a summer road trip with the family and need to block out the constant whining and whinging of your siblings? Get these. If you're the type that likes good sound, these really can't be beat for what they are: smaller, lighter in weight, and comfortable, with enough boom-boom bass that your lobes vibrate, and not so pitchy on the treble. You can listen to your deep-bass tracks, like Koan, and then move on to your higher-pitch pop tunes, like Madonna (who always did like a sharper, clearer sound in her music)—and then everything between. You know, your deep-bass pop tunes, so that would be Röyksopp and Pet Shop Boys remixes, yes-no? These headphones will give them the honor of good sound that they richly deserve. Also, getting into the package to exhume these headphones from their plastic confines was truly an undertaking. (Documentary coming soon.) Well worth it, though. I'd buy these again—probably in a different color. I'm perfectly happy with the gray and purple pair I purchased, goes with my Scottish family tartan, but I'd probably choose something bright and more exuberant next time to compliment my Polish side. Happy listening, all! Edit... stardate 020820... Adding two facts that I've discovered. Fact one: When handling these headphones, they're small enough to feel a bit on the dainty side, but you also are empowered with the sensation that they are tough little buggers. These would be suitable for people who are a bit klutzy, can break things easily because they don't know their own strength, and also for tweens and teenagers who aren't too picky about owning name-brand goods like all the so-called "cool kids." Fact two: I can wear them for many hours straight without my ears hurting. And please keep in mind that I have an abnormally large head (part of this is hair). I can wear these 3-4 hours comfortably. I find myself wearing them a lot. I'm a writer (what? I know, you're shocked) and I'm at the computer a lot, and sometimes the only way I can write massive amounts in one day is to wear headphones. These work great and I can space out into my fictional lands where all the music is bassy and all the trees are leafy.

I ordered for my son’s class at school. He says they are comfortable around his ears and he can hear clearly.

Sound quality is fantastic!! And the headphones provide good comfort. And I have them for over a year and a half and they still function fantastic!!

Absolutely love my JLabs, own many, first pair still works even after many years of constant use. Sound: Great, even tho not noise canceling, you could easily get lost in your music Mic: Good, voice mainly comes in clear when I have to use it Cord:Good, could be longer but is perfect if using with phone Sturdiness: Excellent, the reason for 5 stars, many mishaps with dropping them or a dog catching the cord, but these babys are build to last, never lost audio in one ear cause the cord got caught bent/pulled the wrong way

Bought these for our two year old daughter. We were going to get the noise limiting ones, but decided on these instead since our devices can limit volume automatically. Good thing too, depending on the app and video the volume can be too low to hear in noisy environments. I needed to bump up the volume limit a few times when we were on an airplane. They are a bit big on her, but they still work and don't slide off if she holds relatively still. No running and listening to music, but she's young for that anyway. They also fit me fine (L/XL hat size) with a bit of room to go bigger. Sound quality is great for this price point. I'm not an audiophile but I appreciate good sounds quality. I've actually stolen them a few times to use at home. They are very comfortable, even when wearing glasses. They have zero noise cancellation, so don't expect them to perform that well with background noise. Overall construction is good. The cord appears very durable and well made, it is cloth wrapped. Possible weak point where the wire runs between the earphone and headband, due to the swivel of the earphone you could break it if you were very rough with them. They come in many colors too, my daughter picked green. I'm probably going to buy a pair for myself, I have some earbuds but these sound great and are too comfy.

Works 3rd school year in row. Can’t be more happier with this purchase. Good quality for sure. Will buy more if needed! Sound are good.

I like these headphones as they are good value for money. I really don't have complains for the money I paid for them in terms of sound quality. Yes, the volume control is not great, but again, I use them while I sit working on my computer, it is not a big issue. Especially for the price I payed. However, They are SO tight on my ears I cannot stand them more than two hours at a time. My ears will heart and they will look read! I have a regular size head, actually kind of small... As I tend to use my baseball caps on the smaller sizes... I thought maybe they were going to give with time, as I used them. But that hasn't been the case. It's been MANY months using them and still the same situation. I am at the point where I am buy another headset because I just can't stand them...

These are ideal for informal occasions; I have just acquired my second pair. Cord length is perfect, ear support could very depends on you! But I recommend

Se escucha un poco distorsionado, pero, supongo es lo que se tiene que aceptar por el costo de allí en fuera todo bien

... mehr nicht, sind keine hifi kopfhörer, aber absolut tauglich für den alltagsgebrauch. sitzen gut und bequem.

Very comfortable to wear. Good sound. Love the material-covered wires. No tangling. Good value for the money.

Very comfortable.

Worth buying
