They always say it's the little things that impress, and with these earbuds that was certainly the case.
Forget the brilliant sound, the snug fit, the many features, and the impressive battery life - none of that grabbed my initial attention.
No, it was the lovely little magnetic pull that snapped these buds back into the case when you were done with them. It’s a satisfying little motion that stops you fumbling to put them back in the case, it just draws them away from your fingertips and does it for you.
Aside from that loveable little quirk, these earbuds are packed full of tech to make sure they provide you with everything you want and need.
The USB-C charging case is impressively compact in size and weighs just 40 grams, when it comes to carrying them around they are effortless and never intrusive. It also has a built-in charging lead to save worrying about losing a cable.
To get the full worth of these headphones you need to download the Jlab App, this gives you the option to customise the earbuds to limit volume and tweak the equaliser settings to suit you.
The USP of this product is the noise cancelling which you quickly discover is very effective and really impressive for the price you're paying for the earbuds, again this can be modified through the app.
There’s a serious approach to sound and no danger of this just being a product hurled at the market with loads of gimmicks. The audio is crystal clear with plenty of kick, and you won’t feel short-changed.
With customizable touch controls, a superb built-in microphone, and sweat and splash resistance, there is a lot to like for such a compact gadget, especially the ease of pairing them up. I had them paired in seconds and I was ready to go.
One of the key things that I was impressed with was the huge battery life with up to 42 hours of audio from one charge, that’s a really strong effort.
All in all these earbuds just impressed me in every aspect and they offer a really good alternative to the obvious higher-priced market leaders. They look really smart, feel nicely weighted, the case is really compact, and they deliver on the all-important sound quality test.
JBuds ANC 3 True Wireless Earbuds are available via Amazon for £39.99.
