"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."
"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."
"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"Literally couldn't think of any pair of IEMs + dongle dacs could sound as analytical as the C3P+ for around $70. ... detail is just sooo much better. The C3P+ is just leagues ahead the I5 in terms of detail and resolution. ... the C3P+ is actually the closest sounding one to really expensive iems or headphone that I have."
"Crazy good from the jump! ... When you factor in they're only $99 and go toe-to-toe with Bose QC Ultra at $299, this is the deal of the year!"
"Can't recommend them enough for the value, sound like $200 earphones."

"Have run 3 half's and 2 fulls, never have ran out of battery provided they are properly charged beforehand."
"I use it for the same reasons and love it. ... I would not consider the regular Apple Watch because of battery life."
"the battery life easily lasts 10+ hours."

"For an open style earbud, these genuinely surprised me with their overall performance in sound at this price point. ... IMHO, these Soundpeats PearlClip Pro are probably the best I’ve heard in this under $50 price category when it comes to this style of earbuds. ... These are one of the best clip-on earbuds in this price category especially when it comes to price to performance in sound quality and feature set"
"How much of a difference does a little 5 ohm impedance bump make? A whole hell of a lot actually. ... we get a HUGE bass boost in the balance of this IEM, running into the mid range and smoothing out the treble. If you add foam tips into the equation, what you get is a bassy, new meta-like sound with a much fuller mid bass and lower mid range, making for much richer male vocals while eliminating Harman shout and spice. Once adapted, the set has a much more pronounced mid bass kick and texture, and will satisfy a fair amount of bassheads. ... All in all, the adapter makes it sound like a completely different IEM, and that makes for a pretty versatile, choose-your-own-adventure style experience."
"I struggle to tell the difference between them and "premium" buds that cost 3 or 4 times more, so I just stick with these. ... I auditioned these between Bose QC 2024, Pixel Buds Pro and Sony WF-1000XM5 and I can't really tell the difference. ... certainly not enough to make me pay 4x as much."

"I had mine staked down in packed sand during a rainstorm that dropped 1.5”-2” per hour for 3 hours according to a ranger station nearby and it took it like a champ."
"after heavy and extreme and I mean extreme use in a very dirty environment, after a year the range suddenly cut down... I felt like I'd gotten my measly 20ish buck worth from them and didn't fault jlab due to the extreme circumstances I used them in daily. ... I work in a hot asa filthy steel mill and the fact they lasted a year was impressive to me."
"My old Breville lasted 10-11 years ... I got the new one 3 years ago with the air fryer option … if it breaks tomorrow I would figure out how to get it again - I seriously love it."

"QC issues, on my 2nd pair and they have a strange white noise that occurs randomly. ... First pair left earbud white noise was bad and had to return. ... 2nd pair same left earbud white noise and I’ve returned them. All happened within a week of light use."
"every 60 seconds or so it shrieked for a couple of seconds in an electric staticy kinda way."
"the Tea Pro are absolutely terrible. ... I couldn't sell them quick enough. ... Utter dogshit & not 10% as good as the Tea 2. ... utter crap with horrific mids, dreadful bass & terrible treble"

"The sound coming from the TOZOs sounded "anemic as fuck" and I couldn't get them to sound anywhere as loud and powerful as the others."
"The nc9 had no volume or bass even after adjusting the eq,"
"found them very quiet ... On my PC or on my IPhone."

"they didn’t stay in during intense movements (think burpees, running, etc.)"
"I had the same problem and returned them."
"Yeah mine hit the ground a ton. ... after my ride one hit the ground in tall grass and I can’t find it."

"The only thing I really hate is the fact they are touch and not a push button. When I run I wipe my face with a towel and it keeps pushing the buttons."
"The touch sensitivity on the buds is insane. ... I wish there was a way to lower it without turning it off entirely. ... Went for a run during some light rain. My wet hair kept setting off the assistant and pausing the music."
"Only complaint is the touch pad on the ear bud causes songs to skip or pause when I need to adjust it while I'm in the gym. ... Seems impossible to touch it at all without activating some kind of control."

"My only complaint is you cannot turn them on and off without the case, because they have no buttons."
As someone with a pair of the JLab Go Air Pop, if you just want earbuds for the gym or listening to podcasts or something simple, and don't care about $200 max audio quality earbuds, they are excellent. My only complaint is you cannot turn them on and off without the case, because they have no buttons. But I have used them for five years with no troubles, absolutely worth the money if you want a budget pair, or even want a cheap "backup" to leave in the car for when your regulars die.
r/Earbuds • I analyzed Reddit for the 20 most recommended wireless earbuds in the past year ->I just put my Bose Sports through the wash and regretfully went to JB Hi-Fi expecting to part with $150 - $200. Explained to the guy that I listened to audio books mainly, under ear protection whilst on the tools, but would also use them for the occasional walk, public transport scroll and phone calls whilst pottering around the house. I.e. cheap and cheerful, but do the job. He suggested J Lab Go Air Pop. I was like “ummm are you sure, they’re ONLY $50” and he was adamant that they were the best. I got bright pink ones to spark joy, they have their own USB cord attached (great for me, but maybe not suitable for USB-C or micro users?) and they fully held their charge for the first 4 days of 8 hour use. 2 weeks in, I love them. Oh! They also price matched Harvey Norman at $34. Highly recommend.
r/AussieFrugal • Wireless earbuds ->I've been using JLab Go for over a year and I've been really impressed with the longevity of the battery. Call quality for the mic is debatable but as long as it's not windy it seems to be fine.
r/BuyItForLife • Wireless earbuds that still let you hear outside? ->Jlab has has truly put everything on sake. Sport go is w hook is 15 in yellow. Go air pop tones/plus/anc are all $15-20. Jlab rewind 2 is $17. They all have multi-point and stuff it's pretty good value. it's it's a it's a pretty typical typical consumer facing sound signature
r/Earbuds • Best Amazon Prime Day Earbud Deals ->Some good ones I saw incl: Koss ksc75 for $15 Moondrop chu fkr $18 Jlab rewind 2 for 17 Soundpeats breezy open $10 Jlab go air poo anc 20 Go air tones/plus $17 Lofe p30i $23 Miheap hybrid neckband - $52
r/Earbuds • Best Amazon Prime Day Earbud Deals ->The Jlab go air pop is going for R250 at incredible and takealot. My suggestion is that if you budget is about 1000 you can get two or three pairs of different earphones within this range. Keep the best pair as your Daily's and have the others as backup. This is what I do
r/askSouthAfrica • Which Bluetooth earphones & headphones would you recommend? ->My JLab Go that I picked up from a Walmart in Washington for maybe $30 has been great. Hardly ever has a bad connection and long battery life even after a year of use
r/TooAfraidToAsk • Is anyone actually happy with their Bluetooth earbuds? ->I also found the jlabs uncomfortable/painful. Returned them and ordered the tozo t6 which are the best fitting earbuds I've tried, might fit you well too!
r/Earbuds • I recently got new earbuds and they're hurting my ears. Any advice? ->i use the JLab GO Air Pop wireless earbuds and they work great! super affordable too
r/Aerials • Best earbuds ->JLab Go Airs (or the pop edition) are really good in my opinion. Around 20-30 dollars at Walmart
r/Earbuds • Cheapest earbuds with the best audio quality? ->Second the J Lab Go Air Pop. I'm currently using these, they've been very reliable and I've had them for almost a year so far.
r/AussieFrugal • Wireless earbuds ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
