JLab Audio Air Truly Wireless Earbuds
Truly wireless earbuds and headsets are maturing to the point where paying under $100 means you can get a nice pair with coast-to-coast flight battery life. JLab Audio has three new wireless Air models that deliver on sound, quality, and comfort available from Best Buy.
JLab Audio makes three new sets of truly wireless headphones meant for how much you want to move with them. If you are highly active, the Air Sport model is for you.

JLab Audio Air Sport Wireless Earbuds
They provide sweat-resistance that protects the electronics while you work out. They wrap around the back of the ear to stay in place while running. They come with three sets of ear gels and one set of Cloud Foam tips. They are rated to provide up to six hours of playtime and up to 34 hours with the charge case.
JLab Audio Air Icon Wireless Earbuds
Wireless earbuds from JLab Audio, like the JBuds Air Icon, have the most technology embedded inside of their three new models. They come with dual connect, which allows each earbud to connect independently. Phone calls can be heard in both earbuds when in stereo mode, they provide IP55 sweat resistance and up to six hours of playtime battery life. And the charging case provides up to 24 hours of additional total playtime. These are a good option for people that like to work out with earbuds, but do not like the wrap around ear design.
JLab Audio Air Executive Wireless Earbuds
The JLab Audio truly wireless earbuds, called the JBuds Air Executive, provide up to six hours of playtime battery life, sweat resistance, headset controls for play, pause, track forward, track back, adjust volume, answer calls and activate SIRI or the voice assistant of choice. Most earbuds in this price range have a flat EQ setting. The JBuds Air Executive allow for three options such as Signature, Balanced and Bass Boost, all selectable without an app by triple tapping on the left earbud. The charging case fits nicely in a pocket or small bag.
The fit of small in-ear earbuds that will be in your ear for up to five or six hours at a time, is the most important aspect, while sound quality is a close second. All three of JLab Audio’s new truly wireless Bluetooth 5.0 earbuds come with different size ear gels, one set of Cloud Foam ear tips, and ear fins for the earbuds that provide a little more grip.
All three truly wireless headsets come with class-leading battery life at about six hours of playtime, enough for a coast-to-coast flight, and charging cases with at least eighteen or more extra hours of battery power. Each charging case has a handy integrated charging cable so you will never leave the most important cable at home. All three new earbuds come with Bluetooth 5.0 for the best compatibility with the newest smartphones.
Truly wireless earbuds means that they sync to your smartphone with independent connections. No longer will signal issues from the master earbud disconnect the pair. That is what happens with the cheapest wireless headphones from last year.
I have reviewed a myriad of truly wireless earbuds and headsets over the last several years. Six hours of playtime is the sweet spot for battery life and a case that can quickly charge the earbuds are key when transferring between trains or flights. I would choose the JBuds Audio Air Icon true earbuds. The case features up to 24 hours of additional charge time with an IP55 sweat resistance rating. Each earbud can be used independently or both because of Bluetooth 5.0. Do not be held back by wires, go wireless with JLab Audio’s new truly wireless earbuds.
