JBuds Pods ANC True Wireless Earbuds Black

JLab JBuds Pods ANC in Black are stem true wireless earbuds with hybrid active noise cancellation, part of JLab's JBuds lineup - the better tier in the JLab range. The stem design sits naturally outside the ear while the in-ear canal bud delivers sound directly, with touch controls on the stem for easy playback and call management.

Hybrid ANC reduces ambient noise by up to 40 dB using both feedforward and feedback microphones working together. Six MEMS microphones with 3-mic ENC handle both noise cancellation and call clarity. Be Aware Mode switches off ANC and lets in surrounding sound when you need to stay alert. Spatial Audio creates a wider, more immersive soundstage. EQ3 Sound gives you three preset listening modes: Signature, Bass Boost, and Balanced.

Battery life sits at 10 hours per earbud with ANC off (7 hours with ANC on), with 56 total hours across the case (31 with ANC on). The case supports wireless charging and wired charging via USB-C. Quick charge gives you 2 hours of playback from 10 minutes of charging. Standby time exceeds 100 hours.

Bluetooth 5.4 with SBC and AAC codecs. Google Fast Pair for instant Android pairing. Multipoint connects to two devices simultaneously. Support protocols: HSP/HFP/A2DP/AVRCP. Compatible with iOS and Android, including Siri and Google Assistant. IP55 rated for sweat and water resistance.

The JLab app adds custom EQ, control remapping, Music and Movie modes (Movie Mode latency under 200ms), noise control settings, an Interval Timer for workouts, OTA firmware updates, safe hearing tools, and My JLab device management.

Includes JBuds Pods ANC earbuds, charging case (wireless + USB-C), 3 sets of ear tips (S/M/L), and a JLab 2-year limited warranty.
