Jlab JBuds Lux ANC Over-Ear Wireless Headphones

My Rating

4/5

My Quick Review

Take the price tag out of the equation and these are actually a decent pair of headphones. The sound leans towards the bassy side, but I had no beef with that, nor any desire to bother tinkering with the equaliser. Fairly light, snug, and comfortable to wear, even on a larger head, which some people might find important. I didn’t clock the exact battery hours, but after a full charge in the morning and typical on-and-off use throughout the day, I never once had to think about recharging.

Enough back-patting though, let's get petty. At £49.99, they’re a steal. At the usual £79.99, they’re still a decent punt, but not quite a “shut up and take my money!” type of purchase. At that price, you (fair enough, maybe not you, I’m just projecting here) start thinking about adding another £50 for something that feels just a touch more premium. I know, right? Go figure my budgeting logic. As I said, in this part of the review I’m probably just being fussy for the sake of it.

Bottom line? A solid shout, especially if you catch them around the £50 mark.
