JBuds Open Ear Wireless Headphones - Over Ear Bluetooth, Black

From opening the box I have been impressed with these headphones. I was immediately struck by the build quality and general feel of them. They feel nice and solid, and well put together. They are an open design which means that you can hear most of the background noise happening around you when you have them on. I don't usually like that style - I prefer to be totally cut off, but these are good enough that it doesn't really bother me. The sound quality is very nice. Considering the price they are probably just as good as I would expect. Because they are open backed design you get a nice "open" sound coming from them which you don't get from closed headphones. I'm not quite sure how big my head is but they fit me just fine. And they adjust much bigger and much smaller than would fit me so I can only assume that they'll fit almost anybody. They are very comfortable too. I have worm them for many hours at a time and haven't once felt any discomfort or pain from them. Battery life is incredible. I've gone for well over a week between charges and that's with me using them for multiple hours per day. Overall I really can't find a fault with these. If you want a good quality set of open back headphones then you should take a good look at these.

I’ve gone through countless pairs of earbuds and over-ear headphones, but these JLab Open Air wireless headphones are hands-down the best investment I’ve made for my daily workflow and workouts. If you’re looking for a pair that doesn’t plug your ears but still delivers, this is it. ​What Makes Them Stand Out: ​Exceptional Battery Life: I’m getting well over the advertised hours on a single charge. I use them for roughly 8 hours a day between work calls and podcasts, and I only find myself reaching for the charging cable once a week. It’s incredibly liberating not to have "low battery" anxiety. ​Feather-Light Weight: These are shockingly lightweight. Because they sit outside the ear canal, there’s zero "ear fatigue" or pressure. I’ve genuinely forgotten I had them on and walked into the shower—luckily they are durable enough to handle a splash! ​Impressive Durability: Speaking of toughness, the build quality is solid. The frames are flexible yet sturdy, and they don't feel like they’ll snap if you toss them in a gym bag. They feel like they were built to actually be used, not just pampered. ​Seamless Ease of Use: Out of the box, they paired with my phone in seconds. The physical buttons are intuitive—no fiddling with finicky touch sensors that fail the moment your hands are sweaty or you're wearing gloves. ​Top-Tier Value for Money: Usually, to get this kind of reliable Bluetooth stability and sound clarity, you’re looking at double the price. JLab has absolutely nailed the value for money here; you’re getting a premium experience without the "brand name" markup. ​The Sound Experience: ​The sound quality is crisp and clear. Since they are open-back, you get a natural soundstage that lets you stay aware of your surroundings (great for runners or office environments), yet the audio remains full and rich. ​Bottom line: If you want comfort, longevity, and safety without breaking the bank, buy these. You won't regret it.

It is quite big and sticks out too much, for me coming from the marshall headphones. It would have been better if they stuck the band to the ear cups instead of the driver. It can connect to 2 devices without having to switch over or do anything. E. G. From laptop to TV it will connect without doing anything. Quite impressive Sounds quality is good and it's easy to use.

i'm someone who doesn't like to feel cut off from my surroundings when i'm listening to headphones and would rather use one ear on, one off than feel like i'm in a bit bubble of silence around me. these open ear headphones are pretty much exactly what i've been looking for for a comfortable but open listening experience. you will make some tradeoffs in sound quality over a closed ear design but i find it's a worthy compromise and it works really well for me. audio quality is still very good in my opinion and i was able to have a very enjoyable listening experience with my hip hop, drum and bass and uk garage heavy playlists. at £99 they're a premium proposition from the perspective of my budget but i think they're actually great value and am impressed by the build, comfort and performance of them.

This is my first time using a product from JLab and I have been really impressed with these JBuds Open headphones. While the brand is often associated with budget friendly options these feel significantly more premium. The build quality is excellent with plenty of flex and swivel in the frame and the padding on the headband and ear cups is very soft. The mesh grill on the outside looks really good but it can also be removed if you prefer a different look. The sound quality really surprised me because open back headphones often struggle with bass. These use dual dynamic drivers including a 35mm driver and a 12mm coaxial driver which work together to create a very detailed and clean sound. The bass has a nice punchy warmth without becoming muddy while the higher frequencies like cymbals and vocals are exceptionally clear. The app does allow you to change the EQ settings but I found the standard sound setting to be the most balanced for general listening. Even though they are an open design the sound leakage is really low so people sitting near you are unlikely to be bothered by your music unless the volume is very high. I have been getting roughly 18 to 20 hours of battery life which is plenty to get me through 4/5 days of use. The physical buttons on the right side are easy to navigate and I like the inclusion of a USB C cable that allows for wired listening if the battery runs low. The storage case is a simple synthetic leather wrap which provides good protection inside a backpack. Overall these are a fantastic choice for anyone who wants an airy soundstage and awareness of their surroundings without sacrificing audio detail.

These are pretty good sounding headphones, but despite the two drivers it’s nothing special. The detail is average, bass average etc. Being open does mean no ear sweat and fatigue, and wind noise is no worse than a full size pair which makes them great for walking the dog etc. My only problem is that randomly they would turn on some kind of extra wide soundstage with added reverb and distance which sounds nothing like the any of the built in Spatial Audio settings. Would then need to restart to get them back to sounding like I wanted. Contacted Jlab and got store credit refund so happy with customer service, just not this product.

These open-ear wireless headphones have a clever design that I actually find more comfortable than typical open-ear earbuds. They sit securely around the ear without going inside the ear canal, which makes them comfortable for longer listening sessions. They also sound better than most open-ear earbuds I’ve tried. I personally like this style because I don’t need full sound isolation and prefer to stay aware of my surroundings while listening. They are also very easy to connect to my phone and computer via bluetooth. Battery life is excellent. With around 2–3 hours of daily use, they easily last a few days before needing a recharge. They’re also lightweight and feel very well made, with a surprisingly high-end feel in both sound quality and build quality. Priced at £79.98 at the time of review, I think they offer good value considering the performance and overall design.

I absolutely love these headphones. They are so well made and so comfortable to wear and they stay on your head so well when used for running and exercising. The sound is projected into your ears perfectly whilst still enabling you to hear the background noise whilst out and about running so that it keeps you safe and aware of dangers out and about. They were so easy to set up for the first use and they always connect really well to your phone first time. They charge really fast as well which is perfect when you just want to get out and about as quick as possible. Value for money in my opinion is brilliant as i cant fault them at all and the size of them is also spot on for comfort and they are not too heavy either. Really happy with them.

I’ve been testing the JLab JBuds Open Wireless Headphones, and they offer a really interesting listening experience compared to traditional closed headphones. The open-back design is one of the main reasons I wanted to try them. It allows you to enjoy music, podcasts, or calls while still being aware of your surroundings. The sit comfortable on my ears without creating that fully sealed feeling some headphones have. Comfort is my favorite thing about these headphones. The Cloud Foam padding on both the earcups and headband feels soft and lightweight, which makes them easy to wear for longer listening sessions. The rotating earcups also help them adjust naturally to your head shape. Sound quality is clear and balanced. The dual driver setup helps produce detailed audio across different frequencies, and the bass has a nice presence without overpowering the rest of the sound. Battery life has also been solid so far. With up to 24 hours of total playtime, they’re designed to last throughout the day without needing frequent charging. I also like that you can use the JLab App to personalize the sound and controls. The presets like JLab Signature, Balanced, and Bass Boost make it easy to adjust the listening experience depending on your preference.

Die JLab JBuds Open sind ein spezieller Kopfhörer, der nicht versucht, alles gleichzeitig zu sein, sondern klar auf einen bestimmten Einsatzzweck ausgelegt ist - Musik hören, ohne die Umgebung komplett auszublenden. Genau darin liegen auch die größten Stärken. Die offene Bauweise sorgt für ein sehr angenehmes Tragegefühl, weil die Ohren nicht abgeschottet werden und sich Wärme deutlich weniger staut. Dazu kommt, dass die Kopfhörer erstaunlich leicht wirken und insgesamt einen sehr wertigen Eindruck hinterlassen. Interessant ist das Mesh-Gitter an den Ohrmuscheln, die nicht nur optisch anders aussehen, sondern sich sogar abnehmen lassen. JLab nennt außerdem drehbare Ohrmuscheln, Cloud-Foam-Polster und ein offenes Open-Ear-Design, was sich im täglichen Tragen tatsächlich sinnvoll bemerkbar macht. Das Gewicht liegt laut Hersteller bei 245 Gramm, und genau so fühlen sie sich auch an. Leicht genug, um sie länger zu tragen, ohne dass sie schnell störend werden. Klanglich setzen die JBuds Open auf ein ungewöhnliches koaxiales Dual-Treibersystem mit 35-mm- und 12-mm-Treibern pro Seite, was man in dieser Form nicht oft sieht. Der Klang wirkt dadurch luftig und räumlich, mit einer breiten Bühne und einer angenehmen Offenheit, die vor allem bei Stimmen, Mitten und Höhen positiv auffällt. Gerade Podcasts, akustische Musik, Pop oder auch längere YouTube- und Video-Sessions profitieren davon, weil alles weniger gedrängt klingt. Der Bass ist vorhanden und wird laut JLab zusätzlich über die LabBoost-Technologie unterstützt, aber das Grundprinzip bleibt klar - Diese Kopfhörer setzen nicht auf Abschottung, sondern auf ein freies, offenes Klangbild. Das funktioniert gut, solange man weiß, worauf man sich einlässt. In lauten Umgebungen stößt das Konzept nämlich an seine Grenzen, weil es kein Active Noise Cancelling gibt und Außengeräusche bewusst hörbar bleiben. Für Bahn, Flugzeug oder andere sehr laute Orte sind sie deshalb nur eingeschränkt sinnvoll. Im Alltag ist genau diese Offenheit zugleich Vorteil und Nachteil. Wer beim Spazierengehen, im Homeoffice, beim Sport oder allgemein unterwegs seine Umgebung weiterhin wahrnehmen möchte, bekommt hier ein stimmiges Gesamtpaket. Für Training, Wege draußen oder Situationen, in denen man ansprechbar bleiben will, passt das sehr gut. Gleichzeitig muss man mit dem typischen Nebeneffekt offener Hörer leben. Schall dringt nach außen. JLab spricht zwar von einer Sound-Steering-Technologie zur Reduzierung von Schallverlust, komplett vermeiden lässt sich das aber nicht. Wer also in sehr ruhiger Umgebung laut hört, wird andere in der Nähe unter Umständen mithören lassen. Das sollte man vor dem Kauf realistisch einordnen. Praktisch sind die Zusatzfunktionen. Die Akkulaufzeit gibt JLab mit bis zu 24 Stunden an, zusätzlich gibt es eine Schnellladefunktion mit etwa 2,5 Stunden Wiedergabe nach 10 Minuten Laden. In der Praxis sind etwa 18 Stunden bei hoher Lautstärke realistisch. Dazu kommen Bluetooth Multipoint für die gleichzeitige Verbindung mit zwei Geräten, Google Fast Pair, die JLab-App mit Equalizer und anpassbaren Einstellungen sowie zwei ENC-Mikrofone für Telefonate. Gerade Multipoint ist im Alltag sehr nützlich, wenn man zwischen Smartphone und Laptop wechselt, ohne ständig neu koppeln zu müssen. Auch die Möglichkeit, den Klang in der App nach den eigenen Vorlieben anzupassen, ist sinnvoll, weil man so das offene Klangbild etwas feiner auf Musik, Sprache oder persönliche Hörgewohnheiten abstimmen kann. Unterm Strich wissen die JLab JBuds Open für den richtigen Einsatzzweck zu überzeugen. Sie tragen sich angenehm, klingen offen und differenziert, bieten gute Zusatzfunktionen und machen besonders dort Sinn, wo man Musik hören und trotzdem mit der Umgebung verbunden bleiben möchte. Wer genau das sucht, bekommt hier ein stimmiges Gesamtpaket mit eigenständigem Konzept.

Adquirí estos auriculares para mi uso diario de deporte, trabajo y ocio. Son súper ligeros y de calidad se ve en cada detalle, no molestan nada y no se nota que los llevas puestos, puedes estar horas haciendo lo que quieras con ellos puestos que no molestan nada. Una cosa que me gusta de estos auriculares es que los tienes puestos y aunque haya ruidos o tráfico o te hablen puedes escucharlo sin perder calidad de música. Puedes estar 24h sin descargarse la batería, me encanta! Son una buena opción para no perderte el entorno pero sin salirte de tu música, los recomiendo. Espero que mi valoración te haya resultado útil para decidirte.:)

Ce nouveau casque JLab JBuds Ear Open apporte confort et qualité de son ! J' apprécie beaucoup le confort sur les oreilles, il est relativement léger et très facile à porter, en plus, il est résistant à la pluie. Il se charge très rapidement (environ 10 min de charge pour 2 heures d'écoutes) et possèdent une très grosse autonomie (environ 24h), il faut 2h pour le charger complètement. Le bluetooth est reconnu immédiatement, aucun problème de connexion. Le son est d'excellente qualité avec de très bonnes basses, je trouve que c'est le plus important dans le choix d'un casque. Bref, ce casque est très confortable, j'apprécie beaucoup !

Ho deciso di dare una possibilità a queste JLab dal design aperto, anche se amo le in-ear. Essendo una persona che porta gli occhiali, la mia preoccupazione principale era la solita pressione fastidiosa delle stanghette contro la testa, ma devo dire che sono rimasto sbalordito. I cuscinetti sono incredibilmente morbidi e la struttura è così leggera che spesso dimentico di averle addosso; sono riuscito a indossarle per intere sessioni di studio e ascolto musica senza alcun affaticamento, quasi come se fossero evaporate sulla testa. Il design open-ear è una vera rivelazione per chi, come me, tende a soffrire il caldo con i cuffioni, poiché permette alle orecchie di respirare evitando quel fastidioso sudore tipico delle cuffie chiuse. Ovviamente non c'è una cancellazione attiva del rumore, ma è una scelta voluta che apprezzo moltissimo: posso ascoltare i miei podcast o la musica con un audio spaziale che sembra portarti direttamente in uno studio di registrazione, mantenendo però la percezione di ciò che mi circonda. È l'ideale mentre studio o quando faccio corsa all'aperto, garantendo una sicurezza che i modelli isolanti non possono offrire. Infatti per quest'ultima attività direi che sono molto valide. Non cadono, sono leggere e non danno fastidio. La qualità costruttiva mi ha convinto subito. Nonostante la loro leggerezza, i telai sono flessibili e robusti, trasmettendo una sensazione di solidità e durata nel tempo che giustifica ampiamente l'investimento. A questo proposito, il rapporto qualità-prezzo è imbattibile: a un costo decisamente contenuto si ottengono prestazioni premium e una stabilità Bluetooth impeccabile sia su smartphone che su PC. A questo proposito devo confermare che il passaggio automatico tra i vari dispositivi collegati è perfetto, non c'è stato nessun problema. Fantastiche su questo, meglio anche di marchi piu blasonati. Ho apprezzato tantissimo anche la dotazione degli accessori; trovare una custodia rigida e ben rifinita, che si appiattisce per occupare meno spazio, è un plus raro in questa fascia di prezzo e mi permette di infilarle nello zaino senza timori. L'autonomia è un altro punto di forza straordinario. Con circa otto ore di utilizzo giornaliero tra chiamate e musica, mi ritrovo a caricarle solo una volta a settimana, eliminando completamente l'ansia da batteria scarica. Anche l'app dedicata è stata una piacevole sorpresa, intuitiva e utile per configurare immediatamente l'audio e i comandi. Certo, bisogna tenere a mente che a volumi alti un po' di suono può filtrare all'esterno e che le opzioni di colore sono limitate, ma per la comodità estrema e la resa sonora cristallina che offrono, sono diventate il mio compagno quotidiano inseparabile.
