JLab Mini ANC. Not actually out yet, it was just announced at CES. But should be on sale any day. I got the Mini non-ANC in a random earbud emergency, just grabbed a cheap pair from the nearest Walmart. They’re SO tiny, and seriously surprising quality, for $40. Also someone else mentioned Soundcore a40. Had those, they were good. Maybe a little dated, but I’d recommend. IMHO from buying dozens of pairs at all price points, if your range is 40-80, spend $40. They’ve gotten really good and $80 isn’t gonna get you a lot more.
Yea thats accurate. I think ANC creates a sense of “pressure” and bass sounds heavier. They didnt sound as good without IMO You sure you can’t disable auto pause even with the soundcore app? That would annoy me, I always turn it off. But I don’t have them anymore, can’t check. But if you actually don’t like ANC then I’d still recommend checking out the JLab Mini. The regular edition will be dirt cheap once they release an ANC version! And the sound quality was shockingly good for their size and price. But also you might be able to get better bass from chunkier buds. So basically “ sorry idk 🤷🏼♂️😂 “
The JLabs Jbuds Mini True have a silicone case on Amazon and the buds are $40
The buds themselves are not mini. I think it’s just a naming thing. I always like to read reviews on Amazon from other buyers to get their impressions. Hope this helps!
I have in my car one pair of open earbuds. On my keyring I have a pair of jlab mini (as an emergency basically). 9/10 times my keyring is with me. I usually have a pair of anker buds in my jacket. And 2 more pair in my purse, which i sometimes have and sometimes do not. I always have an extra battery pack with type c pin in my purse, and a tiny/quick one in my jacket. And I have a full charger cord and brick in my purse. This one time, we went to the er for my sis and weren't prepared, it was like 8 hours with nothing. The next day I made a better 'emergency bag' in my purse 🤣 small bills and a few coins (for vending machines, when we went the credit card thing was busted) and snacks included too.
Jlab Mini. Comfy, stays in. Super cheap. Lasts forever. Not too loud so I can hear my surroundings
JLab mini has no business having as good of a mic as it does. Transparency mode is decent enough too.
I have JLB headphones, they work well enough and we got them for 50 dollars on a sale… For earbuds I have JLab earbud minis, they are small, 30 dollars, comfortable, and the charge lasts forever. And they don’t fall out.
I’m also looking for this. I tried the jlab sport and they hurt. I have kid-sized ears
update I tried the jlab mini and so far so good. Haven’t fallen out after hours of wear ~ I get sweaty ~ but I have yet to take them to the gym. I may just stick with my over-ears
I have Jlab minis. Inexpensive, and the minis work great in my helmet (hate helmet speaker systems)
