JLab Epic Air Sport ANC True Wireless Bluetooth 5 Earbuds, Headphones for Working Out, IP66 Sweatproof, 15-Hour Battery Life, 55-Hour Charging Case, Music Controls, 3 EQ Sound Settings

I was looking for a set of headphones to replace another set I did not like and didn't last long. I exercise 1.5 hrs./day 6 days a week. Therefore I needed something to stay in the ear, and could handle moisture (98 deg F at 90 humidity - i.e. sweating profusely in the summer). I also needed something that that had "hear through" so I can hear sounds while doing road-work, such as automobiles.I selected these because they had an over-the-ear hook to keep them in place. They had some waterproofing, hear-through, and other control options. While I like having the noise cancelling, I don't use it as much since I let in ambient noise while working out.I've had these for over 6 mos. and I've put over 290 hours of use into them. They have had good battery life. They have held up to daily use without issue. I have been VERY pleased with them for what I need. I found them comfortable, and when I'm sweating, the ear hooks keep them in my ear. Of course, when I'm doing other exercises where I change position, the ear plugs can slip out due to moisture, they stay "in the ear" and don't fall off. The volume can be set quite loud, and I never need to put them to full volume.Things I have noticed. Sometimes one bud disconnects from the phone, but I've discovered this happens when I'm near another device openly broadcasting a Bluetooth connection. It only lasts about 10 sec or less, or I can remove the bud and reinsert and it is good to go. The bud pair sense their proximity and stop playing when they are a certain distance apart. This is actually a good quality as I use it when someone talks to me, I can remove one, and hear them without music blaring. I take care to wipe them down before putting them in the case to avoid buildup that may impair the charging capability. You have to make sure you set them in the charging case well, or it may not charge. However, I've only had this issue once or twice once I realized this and made sure they had good contact. The buds have white/blue light when charging.Overall, I'm really pleased with the JLab Epic Air Sport ANC headphones. I would order these again.Update - Aug 2023My original review was from Oct 2022. I currently have been using these for over 16 months, 6 days a week usually at least 2-3 hours a day. They still perform well. Battery life is still good, and I have experienced no issues. Rain, below freezing, 90 degree temps, high humidity...they still work.Note, all reviews are subjective. I use these specially and primarily for music audio while working in a wide range of temperatures.I do not recommend these for phone audio or conference calls. Every time I have used these for phone calls, the person on the receiving end has difficulting hearing me (soft voice), and additionally too much background noise. I just don't use them for phone calls, and I have another brand of earbuds I use during the day when I need to make phone calls.

These earbuds check all the boxes for what I was looking for in earbuds.As of this review I have owned and used them for about 11 months now.The main reason I bought these is because I was looking for a pair of earbuds with ACTUAL decent batteries in them. If you're looking for good battery life in a small form factor, these are the ones without a doubt. Most earbuds I've either had or looked at don't stand up to whatever their product description claims, these do though. I can listen to music for hours on end (I think the longest I've used them for is about 8ish hours for reference). Then on top of the earbud batteries themselves being good, the charging case battery is also really good. I can go weeks without charging the case (I don't use them heavily daily). The attached USB cable is a little awkward, but I really like it in the long run. It's definitely better than having to use a separate cord to charge. Plus the wireless charging is nice, I can just drop them on a wireless charger to pick up some juice from time to time. With such a decent battery life I have high hopes for the longevity of these earbuds. If they handle hours and hours of playtime now, when the battery life inevitably degrades, they should still be usable for a longer time.I'm a fan of the loop around the ear for earbuds (might not be your thing). They definitely stay in my ears for everything I do (sitting at my desk, doing yard work, house chores, laying in bed). For me they're absolutely comfortable. I'd say I have a pretty normal ear, so there's not any uncomfortable pinching or rubbing with the ear loops for me. I do have some sensory sensitivity but I'm able to stop consciously being aware of these in my ear whenever I use them, which is nice. I don't do anything incredibly active though, so I can't speak to their ability to stay in during lots of vigorous movement.I had never heard of JLab before these, but I'm happy to see that these seem to be thoughtfully designed with actual function in mind.No complaints with the sounds quality. They're pretty balanced. Bass definitely doesn't drown out the mids or highs. No "tinny" sound to them. I've used some cheap earbuds before and these definitely do not have a cheap sound to them. I don't know that I'd produce music with them, but they definitely have a very clean satisfying sound.On to the other parts of the earbuds that weren't really selling points for me, but that I like nonetheless. The touch controls are decent, take a little getting used to, but definitely decent. I didn't expect much from the noise cancelling but it works pretty well. I use them when I mow, with noise cancelling enabled, and it really helps cut the noise out (and I can still hear my music well!). I didn't think I'd like the pause on removal from ear feature but have found it is pretty useful, especially at work when someone comes in to talk to me. The "be aware" audio passthrough works pretty well too but I rarely use it. I don't use them for calls often but I haven't gotten any complaints about the mic when I have.Overall a great buy, very satisfied with these.
