The JLab GO Air POP is a good choice for people with limited funds. This pair of true wireless earbuds has everything you need in earbuds and works pretty well in most situations. The mic isn’t very good, but that’s to be expected from something so cheap. The JLab GO Air POP are the company’s smallest true wireless earbuds to date. People who want to take their music anywhere will find this easy to sell. JLab has touch controls, dual connect, three EQ options, a good battery life, a mic, and fun colour options for only $20 USD. The biggest question is whether or not it works. We stayed with the GO Air POP for two weeks to find out.
The tips of the JLab Audio GO Air POP earbuds are angled and have a flat surface on the outside. They look a lot like the JLab Audio JBuds Air Truly Wireless. They are mostly made of matte plastic, but the JLab logo on each bud is shiny. The logo is the same colour as the rest of the headphones, so it doesn’t stand out as much as it does on the JBuds.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]They come in the colours “Black,” “Lilac,” “Rose,” “Slate,” and “Teal.” The JLab Audio GO Air POP True Wireless earbuds are pretty comfortable, but they fit a bit deep, and the touch-sensitive controls can put pressure on your ear canal when you use them. They come with a few different sizes of silicone ear tips, which can help you find one that fits better. The controls on the JLab Audio GO Air POP are fine. Each earbud has a touch-sensitive surface, and when you turn the earbuds on or off, pair them with a device, or change the EQ, you can hear voice prompts.
Unfortunately, there’s no feedback when you change the volume, which is a little annoying because you could accidentally pause your audio or turn on voice assistant when you’re trying to raise or lower the volume. Also, you need to be playing sound for the EQ to work. Each earbud has its own set of commands, so if you only use one at a time, you lose some functions.
It’s amazing that a pair of $20 wireless earbuds can play music for 8 hours. When volume, streaming, and EQ modes are taken into account, it’s more like 7 hours, which is still longer than the standard AirPods and the AirPods Pro, which only last 5 hours without ANC. I used them for about two hours a day for about four days before putting them in the charging case, which can hold up to 32 hours of power when fully charged.
