JLab - Epic Air Sport (Non-ANC)

I tend to lean on ones with loops that go over the ear because my ear holes are small, too. I struggle with buds because they tend to fall out. Last gen Powerbeats work pretty good although they’re noise isolating not noise cancelling, but I hear the current gen is noise cancelling. Epic Air Sport by JLab is pretty good and are noise cancelling I have QC ultras but don’t like the bud format. You may want to look at the new Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. I don’t own them and they’re not noise cancelling but they’re more like an ear cuff and obviate the conversation about ear opening size

JLab Epic Air Sport. Insane battery life, hook over ears so they don’t fall out. i mainly use them for drumming

i wear gun range headphones over them

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.

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.

Honestly I like my jlab sport air whatever-they're-called. Earbuds that sort of wrap around your ears. I've had mine for about a year and a half, the sand color ones, and I've only had to charge them maybe 5 times. $20-28 for them too

I would recommend you the JLabs air sports. They are underrated earbuds. They are hook style earbuds and stay in your ears no matter how intense the workout is. They sound pretty good for the price and have button controls as well with a tactile feedback.

I can’t tell you what the *best* are, but I *can* tell you what the best are *not*: •Apple AirPods Generation 4 •Google Pixel Buds (*any* version) But ya know, the J Lab Sports and my Jabra (dang I miss those suckers) I got at Walmart are better than the Google’s and on the same level with my AirPods. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I wanted Bose, but Dad’s cheap. I’ve got brain cancer, epilepsy, and crazy in-laws for crying out loud! But, he’ll need my help one day… I’m def following this post!! Thx!

I have a pair of jlab sport and bought another one for my mum because mine haven't failed me in about 3+ years and only cost me like £30. When something happens to these, I'll buy jlab again.
