Epic Air Sport ANC 3, True Wireless Earbuds, Active Noise Cancelling, Bluetooth, Sport, Black

I had JLab Air Sport Gen 3 and I liked them for the price ($30) . Time for new ones and I figured I'd stick with JLab but wasn't sure if I wanted to upgrade. These new buds are definitelya bump up in quality. JLab actually upgraded everything about these earbuds. 1. Better battery life - connect right away and comfortably last all workday (10+hrs) 2. Better sound - 2 speakers each earbud 3. Better app controls - spatial audio, noise canceling/be aware mode lets you cancel or amplify ambient noise around you. 4. Better physical controls - along with touch sensors they now have a slide volume control on each earbud. 5. More charging methods - usb-c plug, usb-c port, and wireless charging. 6. Overall size of case is smaller and more portable. 6. They look pretty cool - earbuds are semi translucent.

I was excited to get these, as they were highly recommended, and promised some very nice features which I, a contractor, found useful, like noise cancellation or speaking mode. Unfortunately, the right ear bud died after 31 days of use, which was one day past the return/exchange window. Prior to that, I was mostly pleased with their function. Connection was easy and painless, sound quality was excellent, they held their charge for a full work day and recharged quickly. The downsides: They are a bit uncomfortable, though that can't be helped, the buttonless controls are more annoying than helpful, and they tended to not stay put, and their life span proved remarkably short. For $100, these should be durable, comfortable, hold their charge and have excellent audio quality. They only delivered on half of this list. I've had ten dollar bluetooth earbuds that were more durable and less annoying to work. I hesitate to recommend these given their short life span relative to cost, and given how annoying the controls become if you get sweaty. At this price, I feel like this sort of product should only have. at most, a few nitpicky issues instead of a couple major issues.

The sound quality is honestly amazing — clear audio, strong bass, and great noise cancellation. They also stay in place well during workouts and the battery life is impressive. The only downside for me is the size. I have pretty small ears, so the earbuds feel a little bulky and not as comfortable for long periods of time. If you have medium or larger ears, they’ll probably fit perfectly. Overall, they’re still a great pair of headphones and definitely worth 5 stars for the sound and performance.

Have owned several pairs of these in recent years, including earlier versions, and use them when running. I prefer these earbuds as they remain securely in place when running, have good sound quality, and a fair price point. Less satisfied however with this recent version. They do not maintain continuous contact with my running watch (frequent dropouts) and for some reason their new physical shape (sharper edge) amplifies wind noise considerably over previous models. Having tried many such earbuds in this price range, the Jlab Sports earbuds are still superior in my mind and I will stick with them, but disappointed by this model ANC 3. It would be great if they could look into the wind noise change with the new shape.

Very good product from a US based company. These ear buds are great for anything active. The sound is great (although I still think the ANC 1 sounded better) and you can control everything right through the buds. Yeah, they're a little pricey, but you get what you paid for.

They fall short in many ways. I was coming from the original Powerbeats Pro and didn’t want to spend $200 on a new set, so I decided to give these a try. I’d describe this experience as engineering fatigue—the ideas behind the features are good, but the execution is poor. The first thing you notice when opening the charging case is that the right earbud charges on the left side of the case and the left earbud charges on the right. This feels completely unintuitive and could have been avoided simply by hinging the lid on the opposite side. The noise canceling is basically nonexistent and, at higher volumes, produces a clacking sound that resembles a speaker voice coil hitting its limits. While the earbuds fit securely around the ear, they don’t sit very deep in the ear canal, so there’s no proper seal with any of the included rubber tips. This lack of seal lets in a lot of outside noise and seems to contribute to the clacking sound when noise canceling is enabled. The soft-touch volume controls are also poorly thought out—you often end up pausing or skipping tracks when you’re just trying to adjust the volume. The worst issue, however, is the auto-detection sensor that pauses playback when it thinks you’ve removed the earbuds. While lifting weights, the sensor frequently triggers false positives, pausing the music mid-set. To make them usable for workouts, I had to disable all of the smart controls entirely. Overall, the feature list looks great on paper, but the real-world experience is frustrating and disappointing.

Over all sound is good for earbuds and can get loud enough that they work while I'm working. The only real issue I have with them is they don't fit my ears to well. The ear hooks are stiff and not that flexible so it makes them a little tough to put on with one hand. I kept pushing the earbuds in my ears over and over through out my shift due to feeling they were not seated in well enough, which later ended up causing slight pain of sensitivity. I tried all the different ear pieces and only found the right ear was ok but still a little loose fit while the left wouldn't fit and felt as if I just set them in my ear a little. When they do sit in the ear right, the sound is good overall and do like their highs, mids and even lows. The bass is not hard hitting like bose or beats but the bass is there enough that they don't make you feel you are missing out on a good bass drop. All in all, they are not a bad set of earbuds and would say try them out and maybe they will fit your ears and all will be good. Just be mindful that they may not full seat inside your ears.

Just my inital thoughts on the sport anc 3... and my note 20 ultra 5g phone. The jlab app. 1. There is a setting to disable the volume limiter which will make the volume higher if you need it. 2. There is also a burn in feature I think 40 hours is a bit excessive, but so far I have done about 20 hours (in 5 hour intervals) and have noticed about a 10% to 15% difference in quality but that might be my imagination. Recommended not to listen to all the high pitches wiring sounds while breaking them in. 3. These v3 version won't work with the old app for the v2 earbuds (which still works fine). Such as setting up the one customizable equalizer slot 4 slot setting plus more features (spacial efect) than the older v2 app. Old version icon is blue but has a line of orange on the bottom. The new one is all blue. But I have both installed on my phone. As I carry the v2 as a backup of I forget to charge the v3 earbulds The ear buds fit my ears just fine, but I think if they didn't I would think that with a little gental heat - it might be possible to slightly change the bend slightly but I wouldn't aim it at the electrical part's. But I have no reason to do that. I've worn them at work for over 6 hours straight and had no pain. Tried the 3 sizes of the ear rubber pieces and prefer the default one for a good seal. Battery life is good. I also like the new c type connection instead of the old one for charging. Still has the wireless charging as well. There is also another c type one which I am guessing it could be used as Battery bank in an emergency. Not sure as I haven't tested that yet. Will update review if I find anything new.

Can't really go wrong with the JLab, Epic Air Sport ANC 3. I've had it for about tree months now and have brought them with me to the Gym, hiking, mountain biking, and running. Love the battery life and noise cancelling. They have never fallen off during any of the mentioned activities above. Highly recommend!

No son ANC. Es buen sonido para esa clase de audífonos pero la marca miente con el tema del aislamiento del sonido. Llevo mas de un año con ellos y no hay diferencia entre comprar unos con o sin aislamiento de sonido. No se dejen engañar. Por el precio me parecen buenos, para ir a correr, el gym, y actividades en exteriores con poca humedad. Pero para nada reducen el sonido exterior. Encima son pesimos como manos libres.

Unfortunately they are not fitting and can't get the clean sound and base out of it.

I bought these earphones primarily because they offered a full suite of controls which includes volume control on both earphones. Most other earphones have play, pause, skip as standard but they lack volume control. Some which offered volume control often came at a sacrifice for another feature. I wanted to have full access with no compromise. Second thing I wanted was comfort for long runs and security that they won’t fall out. That is why I choose the form actor. I connected these to my sports watch for music and prompts during work outs. The headphone stayed in place during the entire session with no issues in comfort. The only problem I had was accidentally touching the wrong things. On he first run when I was putting the headphones in, I accidentally skipped the track and turned volume up to max, which was less than ideal. This might be a learning curve and I’m hoping the more I use them I’ll figure it out. When you skip, pause there is a 2-3 second delay and some times it didn’t respond. Which can be a bit confusing whether I have to tap again or wait for it to do its thing. I have noticed instead of tapping and short press on the capacitive touch area is more effective. It’s slight annoying but not a show stopper. The volumes works instantaneously so no issues there. The ANC works and it’s simple to activate. You get clear spoken feedback. This lets you know which mode you are in - no guess work or trying to remember which tones mean what. Taking one earphones out takes between 2-4 seconds for the one left in to pause the audio; again this is only a slight inconvenience. I was listening loud with ANC on, I took one of the earphones out to reply to someone and they’ll start talking while the other headphone still blasting music I’m my ear.. maybe this is only be because I use them connected to my watch for audio. Next time I could have try to cycle through to turn ANC off or I could mask the wait time for the music to pause by talking first. Anyway, after my season I kept the earphones in listening to the music. This is something I never did with my old set of earphones because the audio was not great. After installing the JLab app and playing around with the EQ settings my expectations were blown away by the bass response and the overall sound quality. There is plenty to do in app, a feature that took me by surprise was the ability to burn in the audio drivers in the earphones. I’ve only heard about that feature on expensive car audio set ups - whether it’s a gimmick here or not it was interesting to see it being offered. I let mine burn in while I slept until the battery died. If these earphones could delivered a secure fit, okay sound quality, and easy to use controls I would have been happy. With all those boxes ticked my experience went far above my expectations. All in all, these are great earphones and I hope they keep working for allot more sweaty hours to come. At the price point for these earphones, I felt it would be unfair to compare these to my Apple EarPods Pro 2 but comparing them to the EarPods they hold their own. For my use case, connected to a non-Apple watch, they beat the Apple EarPods in every way.

I can honestly say these are the best wireless earphones and especially for the price. I always do a lot of research before buying and I’m thrilled that it was worth it. Plus, I have a daith piercing and the earphone doesn’t even come close to touching it. The sound quality is better than AirPods in my opinion. They’re easy to use and super secure.
