ahhh, the comfort.July 28, 2010 Twilight Vash(Atlanta, Ga.) if you work in an office with other programmed drones and like to drown your co workers out. you, like me have ear buds in your skull for hours. well, i find that most brands hurt after hours of use... i broke the issue down to my ear canals are kind of small and nobody makes a tiny inner ear piece. well... till these puppies.
the ear buds arrived and to my surprise they included a really tiny (the smallest i have seen) inner ear piece among the 4 sizes of changeable ones. i had some issues getting them on. i broke out a paper clip, bent it straight and kind of levered them on. Yes, they are that small.
i was unsure how they would feel due to a lack of padding. however, they feel better than anything i have tried and i have tried a lot. Not to mention the sound is awesome. i fallowed the instructions and let my iPod play at almost the highest level for 48hrs stright to "let the driver warm up.
Q:"why not wear clamshell head phones?"
A: i hate a clamshell, that's why.
Q:"-INSERT X BRAND OF EXPENSIVE INNER BUDS HERE- feel really good and have awesome sound. have you tried them?"
A: no, i refuse to spend over $50 on headphones of any kind; unless they grant me magical powers... then we'll talk
in short: good deal, good product, great comfort and great sound. Not to mention shipping was quick too.
Thanks for a great product,
Vash
Overall Very good!July 28, 2010 Greg Ruble I am a fan of JLab now in general. I received a pair of J2's for Christmas two years ago. Those were great! They lasted almost a year, then I made the stupid mistake of running with them in weather below 32 degrees! I was surprised at first when the sound was totally weird, but then after analyzing what could have happened, I realized it was the running. So I was gifted another pair of J2's for Christmas last year. Those lasted about six months, then they got eaten by the mower. :'( but enough history. On to the J3's.
Me and my family were getting ready to go on a long drive, so I was desperate to get a new pair of earbuds, and I had my eye on these for a while. After getting them, I was delighted and a little disappointed at the same time. The sound quality straight out of the box was awesome, but it wasn't perfect. The bass is tight and punchy as advertised, with just enough boom to make it perfect. The treble is perfect also. It's sharp, but not cutting if you know what I mean. The mids are what disappointed me. In comparison with the J2's, the mids are... it's hard to describe, but the best way to say it is that they are muddy. It got a little better with about 4ish hours of burn in, and after a while I got used to it, so it wasn't really a problem. Over all sound quality is 4.5 stars.
Build quality is 3 stars because after about 2 months of use, the driver came out of the housing and is attached only by the wires. They look really stylish, but it's kind of a "turn off" when they seem to break easily. It appears I am not the only one with this problem. It would have been nicer if they could have somehow made the housing all one piece.
I was really disappointed that they broke so soon, but my "affections" for JLab were given new vigor soon after. I contacted them via email explaining my problem, and they politely replied back explaining how I could get a new replacement... FREE!!!!! You send them the information, and they send you the replacement. It's that easy!
So to conclude: Sound Quality- 4.5 Stars, Build quality- 3 stars, Stylishness- 5 stars, Customer Service- 5.5 stars!
I am hoping my new pair lasts a fair bit longer. If you don't want to have the risk of breakage but want the same sound quality, I highly HIGHLY recommend the JLab J2's. But I have grown to love these buds. The customer service made up for my misfortune. If you're looking for a pair of earbuds that sound SIGNIFICANTLY better than apples, look great, and feel really comfortable, then try these earbuds!
Good But Not GreatJuly 28, 2010 F. Gomez(Los Angeles, CA USA) The headphones worked fine on my PC, but with the iPhone the highs were too sharp. After a while, they started to fall apart. The chrome-colored part falls off the black casing, so I would have to put them back again. However, they just fell out again. Eventually, after that part came off, the left bud died once a wire got severed.
My cat did me a favor!July 27, 2010 Donald Granger(St. Louis, MO) I previously had a pair of V-Moda Bass Freqs. They were my 3rd set of buds in a quest for something comfortable with good sound. They were OK - that's all. After 3 tries I had resigned myself to the fact that little buds just were not going to have full bodied sound. Sunday I noticed my Zune HD on the floor minus all but a tail of the ear bud cord had been chewed off... my precious kitty had struck! I promptly set out to find a replacement at Amazon.
I just unpacked the JBud J3s and gave them a test listen. WOW! Buds CAN have full bodied sound. Bass was considerably better than my other three without being muddy or clouding up the mid and high frequencies. On top of that they are very comfortable. I am very pleased.
Economical and satisfactory for its price rangeJuly 27, 2010 Nuri Karamollaoglu Entry-level earphones. Being somewhat an earphones nerd and having used earphones of varying price levels in the last 10 years, I can tell that the sound quality is acceptable for the price range, if not impressive. Do not expect the sound quality of, say, 100-200 sennheiser earphones. However, in classical, contemporary jazz and funk music, the bass and trebles are satisfactory and the volume level is acceptable. The product is shipped with various pair of buds. Noise-isolation is, again, satisfactory for the price range yet definitely far from $100-200 earphones. You can use these, as i do, during traveling, and use higher quality studio headphones at home. The travel case is probably the most attractive aspect of these earphones, and it is really the most satisfactory solution I have ever witnessed in earphone cases (including those accompanying much more expensive ones).
