Price

JLab many models feature high CP values, as are JBuds Air Sport, which offers much better specifications and performance than products of the same price.
Design and wearing feel JBuds Air Sport is better than his brand in part because of its ear-mounted design, which significantly improves stability, no need to fight when you're fit and running, and no big headphones will fall out.

Design and wearing feel

Part of the way JBuds Air Sport beats other brands in terms of wearing is its ear-mounted design, which greatly improves stability, and no need to fight when it comes to fitness and running, no matter how big the action is.

While sports headphones on the market tend to sacrifice comfort for stability, jBuds Air Sport is comfortable to wear, with a soft touch and a touch to my ears. Once the sweat starts to sweat, when the sweat runs into the ear, the headset will be slightly loose, the original strong bass effect is slightly weakened, but fortunately more than an ear-hanging reinforced support, the headset will not be the whole piece out, so the use of exercise is quite appropriate.

But because the earbuds are sealed well, it may give you a feeling of being immersed in water and clearly hearing each of your steps. While the LOGO on the headset is easy to mistake for a button, JBuds Air Sport is undoubtedly a full-touch headset that senses a good hand and can easily adjust playback and tracks without having to be able to adjust them from a mobile phone. The small disadvantage is that you may inadvertently start the feature during the adjustment of the wearing position.


Headphone sound quality

JBuds Air Sport has good sound quality, and as long as the headphones are worn in the right place, the powerful bass effect will definitely satisfy your sporting needs, and the midrange and treble sound quite harmonious.

The most disappointing thing about the Apple AirPods is that it's far less than the price of the sound, but the price is far from the same as half the price of the JBuds Air Sport, which is much better than the previous same-price headphones. JBuds Air Sport has three sets of EQ modes that can be adjusted without the need for app access to the left ear. The three sets of EQ modes are:
  • Classic (Signature)mode-while enhancing vocals and bass, is my favorite!
  • Balance (Balanced)mode
  • Bass Boost mode
 
Headset features

Ambient sound mode

Earbud snout headphones are usually soundproofed, so it's a bit dangerous when you're crossing the road or running.

Therefore, the ambient sound function is a major feature of this headset, as long as the right ear point 3 can be turned on (no voice prompt), you can receive the external sound through the microphone on the headset, pay attention to the surrounding sound.

However, I think this feature still needs to be improved, because the microphone amplifies the sound around it, and the sound the headset hears is louder than it actually is, making it difficult to discern the sound coming, which makes me a little confused.I still prefer AirPods when I'm running, because the half-in-ear headphones don't have any sound insulation and can naturally hear the sounds around me.

The call is also recommended to follow the ambient sound mode, because when used on the call, not only can hear the sound of their own speech, the sound will be amplified deformation (much like a robot) when you chat while hearing this strange sound, there is some distress.

IP66 high waterproof certification

JBuds Air Sport has a water resistance of up to IP66 and is resistant to general water and sweat, but please note that it is not possible to use the water (e.g. swimming), and be sure to wipe the headset back into the charging case before putting it back to dry and then put in to maintain service life.

Connection quality

The two ears are paired quickly and the online quality is fairly stable, so long as you don't approach those Bluetooth signal jams (e.g. WIFI), both ears are always online, and when used outdoors, there are sometimes signs of trouble, especially when I put my phone on the left side of my body (the main headset is the right ear).

Overall, the online quality is fairly stable.

In particular, this design is the right ear-based headset, so if you need to use the single-ear function, remember to use only the right ear, the left ear can not be used alone.
Power Performance and Charging At full power, the JBuds Air Sport headset can be used continuously for up to 6 hours and the charging case can be recharged 4-5 times, so it can be used for up to 34 hours.

When you're in a hurry, it's easy to play for 1 hour with just 15 minutes of charging. When you put the headset back into the charging box, be sure to put the left and right headphones in the corresponding position, otherwise it will not be successfully charged, the inside of the charging box is magnetic, when you put in can feel a pull to draw the headset into the groove, and can firmly suck not drop, but also pay attention to the headset indicates whether the blue light on the charge is successful.
The size of the headset and the charging box are large, unlike the AirPods can be placed in the pocket; but there is a surprisingly small design on the design: the charging box has a built-in USB charging cable! I have to say that this design is too convenient, no need to worry about not being able to charge without a line.

Recommended Index 8.9/10 performs very well!

JBuds Air Sport is comfortable, has excellent sound quality and is quite a good fit, but the ambient sound is not as good as expected, and you need to pay more attention to your surroundings if you're out and about.
