The JLabs JBuds ANC 3 offer everything a budget shopper could want in a pair of capable, lightweight, and great-sounding earbuds, and they’re only $50 right now.
The JLab JBuds ANC 3, which I’ll refer to as the JBuds ANC 3, come with three sizes of ear tips and a pocket-sized and light carrying case. The earbuds boast 42 hours of battery life, an IP55 proof rating, multipoint Bluetooth, and three different noise controls (noise canceling, noise canceling off, and aware).
The JBuds ANC 3 produced a clear sound with booming lows and bright highs. Bass-heavy songs sounded full and groovy, but the JBuds ANC 3 still preserved a song’s subtler details.
When I listened to Jungle’s Holding On, the JBuds ANC 3 delivered full bass while keeping the song’s subtler details clear and bright. Compared to a high-end pair of earbuds, like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, the JBuds ANC 3 can get louder, but some small sound details aren’t as well articulated, which I expected given the JBuds ANC 3’s small price tag.
