A renowned budget headphone brand has launched two models of noise-cancelling headphones at a very good price, along with open-back headphones featuring high-resolution audio.
Incredibly accessible, they offer active noise cancellation, spatial audio, and also open-ear audio.
JLab has recently introduced three new headphone models that stand out for their quality at competitive prices: the GO Pods, JBuds Pods, and Epic Open Sport. These headphones align with the brand's reputation as a manufacturer of affordable, high-quality audio devices, making it a benchmark in the budget headphone market.
The GO Pods are compact headphones that offer active noise cancellation (ANC) and up to 26 hours of playback. Although they do not feature wireless charging, as they come with an integrated USB-C cable in their case, they offer three modes of ANC: on, off, and Be Aware, which allows for some environmental transparency. Additionally, the intensity of the noise cancellation can be adjusted through a JLab app, which is impressive for headphones in this price range.
Meanwhile, the JBuds Pods also provide active noise cancellation, along with six microphones that enhance call clarity. Equipped with 11 mm drivers and JLab's spatial audio technology, these headphones deliver a three-dimensional sound experience. With a battery life of over 56 hours and the option for wireless charging or via USB-C, they could become an accessible choice within the best noise-canceling headphones.
The standout model among the new releases is the Epic Open Sport, featuring custom 14.2 mm drivers and certified for high-resolution audio. Its frequency range reaches up to 50 kHz, and it is compatible with high-resolution audio streaming via LDAC. This focus on sound quality positions JLab as a relevant competitor in the open headphone segment that prioritizes the listening experience.
The GO Pods will be available for $36.99, the JBuds Pods for $64.99, and the Epic Open Sport for $114.99, with a launch date scheduled for April 22, 2025, and May 13 for the other models.
