    Excellence video. A straight to the point pro's and con's review. I have the higher-level by Beats by Dre earbuds. They're good and get excellence battery life. However, the charging case is big and clunky. It's ok for tossing in my backpack for daily workdays. But after work I never remember to take them with me when I'm out and about. These buds are small enough to attach to my keychain which is the greatest benefit for me. Looks like I've found the perfect bridge between my daily Beats earbuds I tote around in my work backpack. To a set of small enough buds, I can place on my key chain that goes everywhere with me. Great video. I'm ordering mine right now.

    How do these hold up against Skullcandy's dime series? I'm currently using the first generation of Dimes, I like how small they are (similar to how these Jlabs are) and the fact they have buttons. I've never been a fan of touch controls, but I'd have to obviously overlook if I were to purchase these. Mostly wondering about sound quality.

    Are you sure you did the research on the correct earbuds here? There's no "find my"-feature to be found in the app. They pair perfectly fine the usual way without the app installed. Or are these things different in the US? I'm in the EU.

    Can you recommend alternatives that are the same tiny size? These are the only earbuds I’ve found that comfortably fit my ears. However, they are quite finicky and settings you make in the app don’t persist between session. I have to constantly reopen the app to reply my settings with every use. The price isn’t a big deal for me, but I need something that’s the same tiny size.

      I have them, and I've use them outside on a somewhat windy day in a store parking lot, but due to the size, the mic is not as good as my JBuds Air Pro but passable enough that someone can still hear you (same for the audio pass through being a decibel or two lower), but they do stay in my ears much better after a few hours when my ears start to sweat, so it's a trade off I'm willing to make for better comfort.

      @CommodoreFan64 3 місяці тому

      sounds like you either need to put this in the case, and do the 5 taps on each one to reset the pairing, and have them repair with each other, then update the firmware in the app, or you got a bad, pair, and if so go through the JLab warranty process, send them back, get some store credit, and buy a new pair, or get something of equal value.

      @@nacud I have them in black, and I use them all the time with my Switch Lite, & computers running Manjaro Gnome, and Solus Budgie Linux(just learn the touch taps to control them), also I was able to pair these to my phone without the app running, and my Pixel 6a paired them, and saved them to my Google account, so when I turn on any of my Google TV boxes they also come up as an option to use for audio. The app however does give you a few more features like firmware updates, and 99% of the time I have my phone on me throughout my day anyways so with dual connect I just pair to what I want to use them with, and if I get a phone call it switches right over.

      I've been a big JLab fan for several years now, and almost none of their products I've used require the app, but it does come in handy if you want a custom EQ, and to be able to set the tap features the way you want it along with firmware updates and find me for the models that support it.
      Also I was born with hearing issues so I was selected to be a beta tester for their upcoming hearing aid line(I still have my beta pair, but don't use them because they kept unsyncing themselves every couple of days but when they worked right they would last me from 6am to 5pm before saying low battery), but once the firmware is finalized, and they are on the market(hopefully later this years as they have some issues to fix that are long to go into here) will 100% require the app for all the features, and I think more of their products will be the same way going forward.
