Comfortable and durable

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I have been use these little headphones for several years and I own several generations of them. I bought them for my family members, too. The main reasons for me to love them are that they are comfortable to use, and very durable. They feel softer than most other in-ear headphones I've used, and they offer 3 different sizes for you to choose from. They are colorful, which would be a plus for young girls. (I bought the pink one for my 14-year-old niece and she loves it)

My ears are untrained so I'm not sure how to review the sound quality. I can only say it's very satisfying for me as a general listener. It's clear, it has the details for me, it doesn't sound "thin", it has the range, and I just can't ask for more. And considering the low price, I would say it really has decent sound quality.

Another thing is that it's really durable. I had other headphones at similar price and fail much more easily than Jbuds.  So far, all my Jbuds still work and I really appreciate that.

Great for the Price

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I got these headphones to replace the headphones that came with my iPhone.  I only wear them at work when I listen to music because they do not stay in my ears very well for running.  They came with a couple of different earpieces, but I have really small ears and even the smallest ear buds fit a little funny.  Also, they make my ears hurt a little after I wear them for a couple of hours.  I got them for a great price on Amazon.com, so for the price I think I got a great deal.  The sound quality is decent, but sometimes I wish that they offered a little more bass.  There was a piece of paper that came with the headphones that said that the sound will improve with use and I have only had them for 3 month.  I am not sure how long it will be before the sound reaches its full potential.  These are not really noise canceling, but if you are looking for a good deal on in ear headphones, I would definitely recommend these.

JBuds

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I got these off of Amazon for a pretty good price compared to the Skull Candy and audiophile earbuds (you know, those high-tech, high-priced things for people that have to hear ever beat of a drum, every note of the guitar to "get the full experience").  You don't really need the best in the market as a regular person, but, for the price, these are great, better than I'd ever need.  People seem to think that it fails a bit when there's a lot of bass or that the bass quality isn't good, but I don't blast rap, or love bass, so these do enough as long as I can get the beat from the drums, and I don't really hear the bass too much above lead guitar and vocals, so I wouldn't worry about this depending on the type of music you listen to.

It also seems that people wrote it's not noise reducing.  Well, for the price of the cheapest JBuds (which I got), you can't expect too much, if you want noise-reduction you've gotta shell out more.  For a regular consumer, these are great.

Good headphone with cheap price!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I bought these headphones (Black color) to replace my old ipod headphone with the price of 6.15 dollars before tax from Amazon.com. After received it from Amazon, I fall in love with this cute headphone. Its compact size, and sleek design really matches my black IPhone4 very well. What's more, it doesn't give much demages to my ears. Its soft silicone ear buds provide a super comfortable, noise reducing fit and its smart design provides me high intensity listening experience with crisp, clear sound and deep bass.Now I listen to my Iphone4 chiefly going back and forth on the way from home to school and in the gym. The beautiful sound provided by this headphone makes me feel energeti...

Great sound quality and comfortable.

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I bought these ear phones for myself because my old ones weren't working well anymore. When I set out to find new ear phones, I was just looking for something that was cheap and had good reviews. This product fit what I wanted and they are really cute. I chose the buy pink ones to match my pink MP3.

I paid around $10 for these ear phones and I think that was a pretty good deal. The ear buds are really soft and comfortable, more so than my last ones. The sound quality is great. There isn't any buzzing or foreign noises. The downside to this product is that the sellers say that it reduces outside noises, but I don't hear the difference. I can still hear people around me talking when I am list...

Great for the price

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

These IEM's are a great value for the price. The build quality is quite good although the cable does seem a bit delicate for IEM's in this price range. The microphonics were not too bad as I noticed which is a good thing. I thought the sound quality was a little lacking on the low end but over all it was pretty level. Nothing really stuck out which is rare for IEM's of this price range. I though that the highs were especially good. The amount of colors that they are offered in is nice if you are just looking for style. Comfort is pretty good as well. They come with 3 differnet size silicon and the medium ones fit my ears well. They are certinly not the best IEMs ever but for the average listener they are a huge upgrades from the stock IEM's that came with your MP3 player and I would definitly recomend them. For a more picky listener I would recomend jumping up to the next price bracket if you can becuase It will be well worth the money.

Comfortable and good sound quality

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

These earbuds are the most comfortable earbuds I have used.  They are also a must have for someone who uses earbuds for long periods of time.  Specifically, I use them while exercising and doing housework and I have not had any problem keeping them in my ears.  The sound quality is also very good - much better than the earbuds that came with my Sansa MP3 player.  The price is very reasonable for what you get - comfortable earbuds with good sound.  They are perfect for daily use.  My only complaint is that my first pair of these earbuds had to be replaced because they started shorting out after only three months.  I had been using them daily, but I cont...

i luv jlab headphones

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

i cant even believe how well these headphones work. my mother went on amazon.com and bought me a peachy orange pair... my very favorite colour....when i tried them on, at first they were a little uncomfortable, but after a while you cant even feel them.... but the reason they were uncomfortable, was because im not used to earbuds... in fact i could not stand them at first... but when i got these i really and truly gave them a try... they are really noise reducing and do not cause you to have to turn your music up loud instead therefore it also gives you good sound quality and are really cute... i reccomend them to all types of people, with sensitive ears!!!!!!!!! and popping ears... the whole nine yards i mean they should even feature this in every store like target, walmart, coscos, foot locker, lucys....... and i won a free thrip with them to with their special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JLab - Jbuds: Decent for the Price

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

Personally, I hated the earphones that came with my iPod as they never cancelled out sound near me which led me to turning up the volume so high all of the time and PLUS, the sound quality was utterly horrible. I don't even know why Apple even includes the earphones with their iPods, iPads, and iPhones. Just makes me wonder.

So I looked on Amazon for a new pair of earphones and the Jbuds seemed to be the most decent and affordable earbuds judging by the reviews and the price at the tim on Amazon. I received them a few days later and popped them into my ear.

At first glance, their stylish, cute, and they have a great design that'll set you out from the crowd. The eartips themselves feel rea...

Excellent sound for the value.

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

My first impression of the J-Buds J3 Micro Atomic In-Ear Earphones was that they were surprisingly lightweight, almost delicate. The cord is thinner and has a different coating than one typically sees with most earphones. According to the manufacturer it is supposed to be better in regards to durability and in the week that I tested them, I found them to be quite resilient. They fit very snugly into my ear, which was impressive, as I've often had an issue with previous earphones falling out with the slightest snag. The manufacturer provides four sizes ear cushions rather than the customary three, which is very much appreciated. As was the case with pervious J-Bud models, these required some ...

JBuds are reliable good headphones at a great pricepoint

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

Recently I've used both the cheap apple ear buds that came with my iphone as well as higher end Etymotic Research ER-6 ear buds.  The apple ear buds were falling apart and so I was on a quest to find a pair of inexpensive but dependable ear buds to replace them.

The JBuds hit the mark with a low price considering these are no longer the latest version but you can still get a new pair with great characteristics for a good price.  I paid less than $10.

Unlike other ear buds in the price range, these were both comfortable and output good sound.  I believe the sound actually improves a bit after some use as well.  The package included more than one replaceable head of varying sizes to help you find the fit best for your ear canal.  This is a nice touch considering most people's gripes with cheap ear buds is that they are uncomfortable due to either being too big or too small.  This should provide enough soft attachments to accomodate most people.

Uncomfortable and definitely not 'Hi-fI'

Overall
Rated 2 out of 5

I thought that these would be decent earphones for the price, but honestly, these are only a little better than regular Ipod earbods. The bass is muddled and the overall sound is not all that refined. For $10 each, these are fine for giving to a younger niece as a gift... but honestly, if you're looking for good sound quality, look elsewhere. I do however, like the fact that they come in a variety of colors.

My main gripe is with the fit of these. The plastic earpiece enclosures are very large--- making them painful to wear for a long period of time. If I don't stick these into my ear canal, then they easily fall out, if I do, then they are stuffed so hard against my ears that they become painful after five minutes. I ended up throwing my pair away because they just don't fit into my ears (my ears are medium sized).

I guess younger kids who appreciate these different color schemes will have even greater difficulty stuffing them into their much smaller ear canals...

I have the pink Jlab Jbuds and they are excellent

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

They fit in my ear and stay in there. It even came with more jbuds for different size ears which is great because now they will fit to everyone's ears in the family. The sound is excellent too no distorting sounds. I love them and use them every night. So if you are looking for good ear buds these are it.

Awesome customer service

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

So when you get these headphones they come with a 30 day warranty.  These headphones started to not work around the 35'th day mark, thus voiding the warranty.  Being the short tempered person i am, i e-mailed them about the problem.  They were cool as a cucumber and said it was okay and then gave me a new set of headphones free of charge (although I did have to pay for shipping).  All in all, these headphones are great, and customer service is even better.

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

Our JLab Jbuds give excellent surround sound quality across many genre of music. The sound is rich even at lower volumes. The Jbuds are very comfortable and stay in place. If you're looking for quality ear buds and are tired of the discomfort other earbuds can cause, look no further that JLab--where quality and comfort go hand in hand with economy.
