JLab - GO Sport+

Just finished week 9 today, bought JLab Go Sport+ in week 2 or so and never had any issue. Actually even the mic is decent for a wireless Bluetooth headphone

My bluetooth earbuds (JLab Go Sport+, recommended by Wirecutter) have an annoying habit of randomly, briefly cutting out on a single earpiece. It drives me a little crazy and the only way I've found to avoid it is by having my phone inches away from my face, which isn't a great way to run. Is the issue that my phone and/or the headphones just have a shit BT antenna? Or is that just something that happens with all BT headphones? Would a different pair of wireless earbuds not have this issue?

I have these [cheap little dudes](https://www.jlab.com/products/go-sport-plus-earbuds-graphite?srsltid=AfmBOooVTIYrX3Zsd82LsDRmCtLty07CBXU5EqYVX-2jUbGX42HRhtAr) and while not sold as hearing protection they do a pretty reasonable job of it for residential sites. No frills. They don't allow select noises through, etc. but I mostly work by myself anyway.

Looks like the 255 Music uses BLE (bluetooth low energy). There's pro and cons to that... Apparently, one of the cons of BLE is latency and dropouts due to the single stream limitation = only one earbud connects directly to the watch. I've also had issues with my new earbuds (JLAB GO SPORT+)...and Garmin suggests to pair the earbud on the same side as you wear the watch (example: left wrist, left ear) for a "direct line of sight" for the signal. Will be trying this on my next run: Connecting left earbud first, then removing the right one from the case. Crossing my fingers... Another user has suggested Bose QC Earbuds II, but I don't want to dish out another $200 just so my watch works as advertised.

I'd recommend something like these. I used them for running and are far more secure and if I was to buy them again I'd go for something with noise cancellation. https://www.jlab.com/en-gb/products/go-sport-plus-earbuds-sand

I love my JLABs. I use the JLAB Go Sport+ right now and just use one ear bud. Still aware of my environment and I love the hook that goes over my ear so they don't fall out. Granted I'm listening to audiobooks and podcasts only so sound quality isn't a critical issue, but I'm still extremely satisfied with my cheap set up.

I bought the Jlab Sport+ wireless earbuds, but the ear hooks are too small, and prevent the buds from sitting in my ear properly. Which active/sport earbuds would you say would fit better on larger ears?

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.

I had JLAB’s too, they failed eventually but they had the perfect profile that doesn’t get pressed into your brain when you put your helmet on. I would honestly just get them again but I haven’t found a pair that are as low-profile.

I use the JLab Go Air Sport+ ones. They are not bad and since they have an around the top of the ear part that holds them in place. I routinely run around 25 miles or more per week and they stay in without issues. They're not gonna have a great sound like the higher end ones but for $30 they may be worth a shot

I've been using JLab sport earbuds. They hook around the ear but are completely wireless and comfy. They're cheap enough that it's not a big deal when I lose them. I've tried different models from J Lab and they've all been sturdy enough to come out still functioning after a few laundry washes.But really any sport wireless earbud should stay in place. That being said if I were to drop more serious money on earbuds I do think Jabra are the best out there and built to be very sturdy.

$22 jlab sport with the ear hook.

Yes me too! Max volume was honestly like 70% volume on almost every other pair I currently own, including JLab Go Air and Sport models, Belkin Soundform Play, Galaxy Buds 2 and a few super cheap ones. I hope the new ones are louder. Somehow, I found the Pixel Buds Pro were LOUDER when connected to my old Galaxy S8, which was super weird!

Same problem. I have Soundcore Sport and coming Jlab sport. I wish I had Plantronics wrap arounds.

If you're like me and constantly lose things then JLab Sport are good, they're ~$30 per pair, fit over ear, sweat and water resistant, and I don't hate myself if I lose one.

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!
