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.

I wanted some bluetooth earbuds with active noise cancellation and ear hooks so they didn’t fall out. I’m very happy with these, as they hit all of my needs.Comfort and fit:The hooks keep things secure, and I don’t have to worry about them falling out even when I’m jostling around. I recommend getting the memory foam tips, as they’re more comfortable than the rubber ones and block external sound better. I wore them for a 5h flight, and they felt better than any other earbuds or headphones I’ve owned (usually cheap ones) for the duration. My one complaint is that the body did start to rub against a portion of my ear after a while, but I’m experimenting with different tip inserts to mitigate.Active noise cancellation:On a plane, these kept out much of the droning whine from engines (the lower rumbles stuck around, but the high pitched sound was completely eliminated). For the first time, I was able to listen to music and movies with quiet sections without needing to adjust the volume above mid-low. There’s definitely some distortion when the ANC is active, as I notice a distinct timbre to music when I switch it on. However, it’s pretty slight to me and I soon forget about it unless I’m actively switching modes.Mobile app (Android):The app is basic, but I like it. Doesn’t require too many permissions or any account setup. I used it to update the firmware and set some volume levels for “Be Aware” mode, but I otherwise don’t need to use it and could probably delete it without missing any features. If the company went bust tomorrow and the app stopped working, it would be no problem.Controls:I haven’t had any problems with the controls. Some have complained that they’re too sensitive to accidental brushing, but I haven’t encountered that. I like that they pause playback when you take one of the earbuds out (I think you can turn that off in the app if you want).

JLab is the best with good prices.

I’ve tried a bunch of different sound core models and pixel buds. These have the best features and hooks, everything else falls out of my ears.

I just received these earbuds and I really like them. I like the sound quality and the fact that there are options for sound. They fit great over the ear which was one of the features that I was looking for when I chose them. I don’t have to worry about them slipping out. I just got them so I can’t comment on battery life, but I can say that I’m very happy with the purchase. AND I received them the same day that I ordered them.
