Tired of holding your phone and having a call with your wedding planner? Or worse, are you the person who puts everyone on speakerphone?! GASP. (Just kidding, we are not judging you. Okay, maybe a little.)
Either way if you are tired of holding your phone while on every conference call, wedding call, and finance call, then you need a pair of wireless headphones.
Not just any headphones, you need a *good* pair of headphones. Take a look at the new earbuds from JLab. They are sleek and stylish, and come in three styles. They are the JBuds Air Icon, JBuds Air Executive and the AirBuds Air Sport.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the three earbuds:
JBuds Air Sports

JBud Air Icon
24+ hours Bluetooth® playtime
Dual Connect for seamless connection
Stereo phone calls + Touch controls
3 EQ sound settings: JLab Signature, Balanced, Bass Boost
IP55 sweat resistance
My take:
The Air Sports have the longest life at 40+ hours without a charge (6 hours in the earbud and 24 hours from the case) and a wraparound ear piece. The Air Sports are great for small ears and those who want a powerful pair of headphones while exercising.
The Air Executive JBuds are excellent for meetings and travel. Similar to the Air Sports, they have a nifty touch sensor to control volume, tracks, Siri/Google, or pickup and drop calls. A feature I haven’t seen on the market.
The Air Icon are small snug earbuds that fit right into your ear, even small ears like mine. Their greatest benefit over the other two headphones is the dual seamless connect. This means the Bluetooth connects to each ear piece individually instead of connecting to one ear piece and then that ear pieces connects to another. They have 6 hours in bud longevity.
“Be Aware Audio” – this feature allows ambient noise to filter in to the headphone. Don’t worry, the headphones are still noise-cancelling, but when the feature is activated, you will be able to hear cars or trucks passing by, honking, or your coworker coming to chat with you at the workstation.
All three JBuds have a high level of water protection. Compared to the airpods, which do not have water proofing or protection, the JBuds are a steal.
Hands down, get a pair of buds for yourself and one for your partner at Best Buy. You can thank me later.
