JLAB Epic Lab Edition 5

Last up from JLab is the Epic Lab Edition earbuds, these are for those willing to invest a little more into their audio and are designed to deliver a more premium listening experience than most of the brand’s usual budget friendly options. The solid build quality is immediately noticeable, they also have a secure in ear fit that works well for everyday listening, commuting, or exercise.

These earbuds feature the hybrid dual driver setup, which combines a balanced armature and dynamic driver to produce detailed audio across different genres. JLab also uses the Knowles Preferred Listening sound curve, aiming for a richer and more refined sound profile than typical wireless earbuds. They support Hi Res audio with LDAC on Android devices and AAC on iOS, allowing higher quality streaming when paired with compatible devices. What this means for the actual sound profile is you get a spacious audio experience, with clean and clear mid and high tones and a detailed rounded bass.

Noise control is another focus point, these earbuds include hybrid active noise cancelling with multiple modes, including ANC, ambient awareness, and a standard listening option. While the noise cancelling helps reduce background sounds in busy environments, it is more suited to general everyday use rather than completely blocking out louder surroundings.

Battery life is good at around 13 hours of playback from the earbuds alone, with the charging case extending total playtime to over 56 hours. That means most people will only need to recharge the case occasionally.

The JLab app adds useful customisation options as well. Here you can adjust EQ settings, update firmware, and personalise controls to suit their listening preferences.
The JLab Epic Lab Edition earbuds pack in plenty of features including long battery life, customisable sound, and solid connectivity. They may not compete with the very best premium earbuds on the market, but they still offer a versatile and feature rich wireless audio experience that most people will enjoy. RRP £199.99
