JLab Audio Neon Folding On-Ear, Wireless Headphones, 13 Hour Bluetooth Playtime, Noise Isolation, 40mm Neodymium Drivers, C3 Sound (Crystal Clear Clarity), Graphite/Green

I’ve had these for a month, plenty of time to get to know them. I have named them Clementine (left) and Clearance (right). These were purchased over similar models because of solid reviews, and also because they’re just a bit different looking among a throng of black or “rose gold” or white ear apparatuses, and that slight difference appeals to me. One of their oddities, along with their cool assembly of colors, is that the cord dislodges itself from the left-hand side, not the traditional right-hand side as I’ve seen in similar models. The cord also has a mute button, which is nice if you want to be just a smidgen rude but not entirely rude to anyone who dares talk to you while you’ve got your tunes, your games, or your work. You can be just a little bit rude and still leave your headphones perfectly in place while you’re bombarded by ridiculous inquiries. Another press of the mute button and, viola, you are back to your own little world.They’re a bit nostalgic, in a way, reminding me of the original Sony headphones that I first got in the seventh grade, and actually still own, as they still work, though the ear pads have fallen apart and now leave dark, leatherette specks everywhere, so that I look as though I’m covered in fleas (I’m not—that I know of). These headphones are simple like the Sonys, have the same sort of design, but the cord is much shorter. I’d recommend getting an extension, a three-foot extender would be adequate. I purchased the twelve-footer because I’m a blacksheep overachiever. If you have another external jack someplace, like on your external speakers, you might not mind the shorter cord if you’re at a desktop computer, like I usually am. And obviously this shorter cord works fine if it’s being plugged into a portable device. The jack is 3.5 mm standard, but it’s not a flat jack like a lot of headphones (including my old Sonys), but has a 90-degree angled jack, more like what you’d see on a DC adapter plug. This is not a flaw by any means, it’s just a bit odd. Again, probably part of their overall wish to be a bit more dynamic in the area of design. Also, with all my chitchat about the cord, you should probably realize by now that these are not wireless headphones. You don’t have to charge them. You don’t have to worry about battery life. It’s kind of nice that way. Got a long flight to Fiji and need headphones for napping? Get these. Going on a summer road trip with the family and need to block out the constant whining and whinging of your siblings? Get these.If you’re the type that likes good sound, these really can’t be beat for what they are: smaller, lighter in weight, and comfortable, with enough boom-boom bass that your lobes vibrate, and not so pitchy on the treble. You can listen to your deep-bass tracks, like Koan, and then move on to your higher-pitch pop tunes, like Madonna (who always did like a sharper, clearer sound in her music)—and then everything between. You know, your deep-bass pop tunes, so that would be Röyksopp and Pet Shop Boys remixes, yes-no? These headphones will give them the honor of good sound that they richly deserve.Also, getting into the package to exhume these headphones from their plastic confines was truly an undertaking. (Documentary coming soon.) Well worth it, though. I’d buy these again—probably in a different color. I’m perfectly happy with the gray and purple pair I purchased, goes with my Scottish family tartan, but I’d probably choose something bright and more exuberant next time to compliment my Polish side.Happy listening, all!Edit… stardate 020820… Adding two facts that I’ve discovered.Fact one: When handling these headphones, they’re small enough to feel a bit on the dainty side, but you also are empowered with the sensation that they are tough little buggers. These would be suitable for people who are a bit klutzy, can break things easily because they don’t know their own strength, and also for tweens and teenagers who aren’t too picky about owning name-brand goods like all the so-called “cool kids.”Fact two: I can wear them for many hours straight without my ears hurting. And please keep in mind that I have an abnormally large head (part of this is hair). I can wear these 3-4 hours comfortably. I find myself wearing them a lot. I’m a writer (what? I know, you’re shocked) and I’m at the computer a lot, and sometimes the only way I can write massive amounts in one day is to wear headphones. These work great and I can space out into my fictional lands where all the music is bassy and all the trees are leafy.

The earphone is comfortable, reduces noise in the background by a lot, the price is very reasonable too, the only issue I do have with the product is that the volume control doesn’t work, but I’m ok with that.

Works great! Had the same one for several years and needed to replace it because plastic was peeling but it still worked!

I love these over the new style that hurt my ears and give me a migraine. These ones however are perfect size for my smaller head. They cover my ears but don’t have that pressurized feeling or the excessive noise canceling that makes me feel like Im stuck under water. Had to replace mine from my home burning off.

I needed inexpensive earphones, not wireless, so I settled on these. They are not bulky and are well constructed. The sound quality is impressive. I am happy with them.
