I love music. I like taking my tunes with me wherever I go, so I ALWAYS have a pair of headphones with me. When you’re always on the move, you need a good pair of headphones that have good sound and block out noise from your busy life, a long battery life for when you’re traveling, and a strong, durable build. The Metal Bluetooth Rugged Earbuds, by JLab Audio, are made for the person with an always-on-the-go life. They are compatible with any Apple or Android device that works with Bluetooth and are perfect for when you’re doing chores around the house, running errands, working out at the gym, traveling, or engaging in many other activities. They are designed with an active lifestyle in mind, as you can tell from JLab’s motto: “#FINDYOURGO.” The earbuds have several features that make them ideal for anything you do and anywhere you go.
Included with the Metal Bluetooth Rugged Earbuds is a USB cord that you can plug into any Android charging cord. It also includes four different sizes of earbud tips, a clip, and two different sizes “cush fins,” which serve to help block out noise and hold the earbuds in your ears.
The earbuds are made of metal (hence the name), which increases their durability and makes the sound clearer. At $25 dollars, they are quite inexpensive for a pair of quality earbuds. They have very good range – which is about thirty feet. I could even use them while my phone was on the other side of the wall. So they are perfect for doing chores around the house, since you can walk from room to room and not lose connection. And you don’t exactly want to have to carry your extra-large tablet with you while you’re trying to do the laundry.
The earbuds have a six-hour battery life, which is great for traveling when you don’t have easy access to an electrical outlet. They are waterproof – so you can use them at the gym and just rinse the sweat right off them without having to worry about damaging them. They have built in controls – play, pause, skip forward and backward, and turn volume up and down. They are also equipped with a microphone that allows you to take or reject calls while on the go.
One customer stated that, when taking calls, the microphone on his earbuds made his voice sound muffled to the other end of the line when taking calls, and he contacted JLab about it. They responded by saying that a shipment of earbuds with bad microphones was recently sent out and by sending him a new pair with a better-sounding microphone.
The team at JLab strongly believes in its product, and its goal is complete customer satisfaction. They include with the earbuds a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a one year limited warranty. You can tell the people at JLab care about their customers. After they sent me the earbuds, I looked inside the package and found they even sent me a kind little note, hand-written and signed “JLab and Crew.” I think that’s really cool and more meaningful than if it was just printed on the card.
In conclusion, the Metal Bluetooth Rugged Earbuds are super handy headphones for a busy lifestyle. Their metal covering makes them durable, and their accessories block out a lot of noise. They have excellent Bluetooth range, give off clear sound, and are very good quality for their price. It’s cool that they come with four different sized earbud tips, which make it easy to find a good fit. But while the cushion tips for the earbuds come in four different sizes, there are only two sizes for the “cush fins.” It would be great if there was a different fin to go with each of the earbud tips, since people have different sized ears. And the box that holds the controls is bulky and a bit heavy. You need to have the fins in, or else the earbuds fall out pretty easily. But overall, JLab is definitely a good go-to brand for an active lifestyle, and the Metal Bluetooth Rugged Earbuds are made for a life filled with adventure and lots of music.
