JLab JBuds Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds (Black)

First impressions of this product are positive. I purchased these at $50. I have not purchased other earbuds but consider myself and audiophile and am rather picky, but still think the sound quality and functionality of this product are amazing for the price. Other products might do it better, but not at this price. You can expect to receive an above average build, sound quality, and functionality for this price point, with a couple of small quirks/concerns. Details below.I tested the range of these earbuds by walking about 50 feet away from my phone and they performed the same as if my phone was in my pocket, but I did run into a problem early in its use. The earbuds need to connect to each other, then be connected to your smartphone. I put the earbuds into their case to charge, and when I took them back out, the earbuds disconnected from each other and I had to look online to figure out how to reconnect the earbuds to each other by looking on their website, which was a hassle. If this happens frequently, it could be a big problem for these earbuds. This is my biggest gripe so far.My phone connects with bluetooth 5.0. Older phones that only support older versions of bluetooth might have worse connectivity, so keep that in mind.The earbuds are pretty big compared to wired earbuds, as most wireless earbuds are, but I personally don't feel the difference when wearing them. This is mostly just an aesthetic issue, and I personally don't mind.As with all earbuds, make sure you try all the eartips with and without the included cushfins, an extra padding for the outer edge of the earbud. A good fitting eartip should maximize comfort, sound isolation, and bass level, so make sure you pick the one that works for you.The comfort of these earbuds are average to slightly below average. I would expect some slight discomfort after about 2-3 hours, even with the right eartip and with the cushfins on, which, for me, helped with fit.I would've liked for the case to be flatter. It's rather spherical so it fits awkwardly in my pocket. The material also isn't the greatest but seems sturdy enough to protect the earbuds and stay in one piece. It's really light, maybe the weight of a few quarters. If you're planning to carry this in anything other than a pocket, the size is fine.The USB-A charging cable is under the case and can be tucked into its socket, where it stays firmly in place. It's a very short cable though, and is pretty awkward to charge. I would've preferred a usb port inside the case where you can plug in a longer cable while the case is open, but I'm nitpicking.The buttons are a little hard to press so when you press them you're shoving the earbud into your ear which is a little uncomfortable.Mids are a little muddy, but the overall sound quality is really good for its price.The earbuds make an audible hiss when they're connected and it's silent, but they do stop hissing after about 3-5 seconds of idle.Will update the review if things change.
