My problems were that the only way I could get the JLabs I had to turn off was to plug them in to charge. Also it was rare that the headphones would find the device I wanted to connect to. More often than not I'd have to tell the device I wanted to connect with to forget the headphones, turn off Bluetooth and turn it back on. Then the headphones would appear in available devices and it would only then connect. The JLabs finally gave out the other day and I threw them out. I have some spare earbuds I'm using in the interim and I have replacement headphones ordered.

Looking for headphones recs! Low budget, comfy fit, good isolation, and balanced sound are my top needs.  Here's the details: -budget is $55-85 USD, slightly flexible  -Source: android phone w/ USB c & Bluetooth, portable CD player w/ aux, cassette player w/ aux -Isolation is important since I wear these primarily at work. I have ADHD and there's a lot of foot traffic near my desk, so would love to block out some noise & avoid bleed. I also like to wear these doing chores around the house. -Preference for full size, but on-ear could be an option if the isolation is okay -I listen to a lot of genres; alt rock, 90s rock, folk punk, hyperpop, hip house, and rap. Love the mountain goats, black country new roads, indigo girls, interpol, type o negative, AJJ, yung gravy, freddie dredd, cobrah, azealea banks, gaga, nin.  -i like a balanced mix, crisp (but *not* harsh) and not muddy.  -Past headphones: I've been using a pair of $30 Mpow 059 for yearrrs. Love the sound balance, comfort, portability, and that they're pink. They're shredded at this point so I need a replacement.  I bought a pair of Jlab Jbuds Lux ANC wireless headphones to replace them, but I find them to be wayyy too warm on my ears. The sound also seemed less clear than I was wanting, even after playing with settings.  My partner works at a call center and I borrowed their poly blackwire 5220 on ears, and honestly like them better than the Jlabs lmaoo Interested in any thoughts/advice,thanks!

https://www.jlab.com/products/jbuds-lux-anc-headphones-graphite I've had the jlab lux anc headphones for about a year. They have options to turn noise cancelling on or off and a "be aware" feature that amplifies the noise around you. They're comfortable and cute, and you can customize sound levels in the app. They also fold up a little for storing/shoving into your bag. The battery life has been great for me too.

Here we go again, this guy is literally reviews knight. Btw can't agree more, and from my personal experience I feel they even beat tune JBL 770nc in all terms.

Haven't seen people talking about Jlabs jbuds lux. Very good for the price point under 5k. Wouldnt find a better ANC for the price, sound quality is great. The earcup is shaped a bit different though
