JLab - Epic Air Sport ANC (2nd Gen)

Omg yes, I got these as a gift and love them so far! I do sweat a lot when exercising and it has been performing like a champ. Its the little things like the integrated charging cable in the case that makes me appreciate them even more.

If you want good ANC and battery life you should seriously try Jlab Epic Air ANCs (I have the 2nd gen). I have started liking them more than my previous airpods because of the better battery life. Idk about sweat resistance but they do have one of those water resistance ratings.

JLab Epic Air Sport ANC - ticks all your boxes.

In this range JLab Air Gen 2 are grt

The kind with the ear hooks. I've got the Jlabs Epic Air sport and they stay in just fine

Sound is fine for what they are, noise cancellation could be better

your sony xm5s aren’t broken their mics just suck. everyone complains about the muffled sound. technics az1000 and jbl tour pro 3 will sound a little clearer, but not worth dropping big money for just call quality. they’re sidegrades, not upgrades. for actual improvement on calls, look at jlab epic air or [even tagry’s](https://vorolab.github.io/grab/?q=LPY55865) newer sets. mics blow sony/bose out of the water for clarity.

I will say my Jlab epic air earbuds have lasted almost a decade so just because they are BT doesn't mean they won't last. Also have a pair of Samsung wireless headphones that are over a decade old. And a pair of Harmon Kardon BT headphones that are even older and I gave to my sister and she still uses them.

I have had mine for almost a decade. I don't wear earbuds as often anymore so they mostly sit unused, I actually thought the battery might be dead as they were not used for almost a year but they charged up fine last time I used them. The only thing I didn't like about them was that they could only pair with one device at a time, so if you wanted to say switch from computer to phone you would have to do the paring process again. But maybe that has changed in the last decade. Other than that good sound quality for the price.

Either the basic corded apple earbuds or Jlab bluetooth earbuds, the kind with a cord that goes around the back of your neck so they won't get lost [jlab earbuds ](https://www.amazon.com/Canceling-Bluetooth-Resistant-Universal-Headphones/dp/B08LMMWY91/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?crid=2NGO4BMSUKFB6&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pSM_uMw_Js--SlIcmUAggTM9A-gDYjAcBVlJi30moH_ZSuZC9UxlCsAleayysFMij7X9AysY8RA1vc-VxkylAHelFeDzQfdaPSa29nl-ngq_PD-zyGUW0BuyK8XJGq3hWD_4dJEGhQA7idvHuiNEIqt86uNnJFtALH_HLehdJzj-Y8IkfGnKYkijoCZj4GxLZ00wdVqPto6JBTeQ08RW8w.xycCz_wH4RG-8EyQAlUdkhMwFb4Gk4c0mdJB1W8fy6c&dib_tag=se&keywords=jlab+earbuds+bluetooth&qid=1764574067&sprefix=jlab+earbuds%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-16) I mostly ride with only one in so I can still fully hear out of the other ear

Ive always used bose sport or the quiet comforts because of how they fit. My old pair of sports are going on about 6-7 years but barely hold a charge. They are my backups, while one of my 3 year old quiet comforts just stopped working completely. I bought the Jlab ANC sport earbuds and they have been excellent. 1/3rd the price of Bose and honestly sound better IMO. the jlab app is nice and the be aware mode is great for running or activities when you're around others.

I will warn you the highest end ones we offer (epic) are more bulky than the go and jbuds. I grabbed all 3 pairs and it looks like (height wise) go is 14.5mm, jbuds is 16mm, and epic is 18mm. I found the epic sport earbuds to be too bulky to use in my helmet for skiing, not sure if motorcycling helmets have any more clearance though.
