Chief among the earbuds’ features is their incredible battery life. With up to 32 hours of playback time, the JLab GO Air Pops have more than two hours on Apple AirPods. While AirPods typically last about 4-6 hours on a single charge (in our experience), the JLab buds get more than eight hours — plus three full charges from the wireless charging case.
Battery life aside, these are decent buds for music and calls too. There are three custom EQ3 settings to choose from when listening to tunes, while a built-in MEMS microphone (basically a type of mic that better blocks out vibrations and background noise) helps your voice come through clearly on calls.
Want to take your tunes on the call? The JLab Go Air Pop earbuds have an IPX4 rating (same as AirPods), meaning they are sweat-proof and splash-proof. We don’t recommend running with them in the rain, but for a jog or workout, these should more than hold up.
What we like: JLab says the new earbuds are 15% smaller and 40% lighter than previous models, and we instantly felt a difference when we put them on. The buds fit more comfortably in our ear canal and stayed snug and put, even when we were on the move. JLab does include three different-sized soft gel tips that you can swap out to find the best fit.
At just $25, these earbuds are a no-brainer to pick up, whether you use them for workouts, commute, travel or as a second pair of buds at home or the office. Get the JLab GO Air Pop True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds now for just $24.99 at Target.com.
