JLAB Epic Lab Edition : Epic In Every Way...Almost!

[@RetroKid]

FINALLY. these have been out for a good month, and I have not seen anyone reviewing these. Scored mine for $100, but they are definitely in my top 5 due to performance and sound quality. The specs are insane and the features are all so cool, esp that dongle.

[@newlife3992]

Yes these buds are great. Got mine for $99 as well.

[@Atomos128]

did you get them from the tiktok shop a few weeks ago?

[@newlife3992]

@@Atomos128 no it was a flash sale on Amazon. I was truly surprised by the quality of these buds.

[@RetroKid]

Both the Amazon shop and JLab's website had them priced at $99 for like 2 days just after release. I think they were trying to get more people to pick them up, and it totally worked. I was already impressed with the specs, which don't always translate into performance, but I was blown away by the level of detail and features these buds had. The LDAC codec is already the best, besides lossless, and the dongle basically means you have unlimited multi points connection without the pairing process. The build quality is great too, and they feel like the Technics az60 in terms of the case size, just slightly chunkier. Overall, these are jack of all trades, and great at everything type of earbuds. I would def recommend if you're looking to own just one bud for an extended period of time. It's great at everything.

[@carlson2012abqb]

I got them for $100 back in December and they are soooo good!

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

I picked these up on their release date, and I was immediately very surprised by their build quality. The case has serious heft to it, along with an awesome lid that has zero slop. The earbuds themselves are relatively small compared to the competition and also have excellent build quality.

[@newlife3992]

Love these Buds. Just got the Soundpeats Opera 05 as well. Soo many quality earbuds and so little time.

[@Hijynx87]

Which do you like more? Opera or this? I was kind of disappointed in the opera (with only presets), but lowering the treble they actually sound good. Not anywhere close to the 3ANC

[@newlife3992]

@Hijynx87 to be honest it's about a tie but if I had to choose only one it would be the Jlab for sure. A little more comfortable to me which means I can wear them longer.

[@Blu3_777]

What a epic review to say to the least didnt expect that. Thanks for your consistency it doesn't go unnoticed

[@divinejo7179]

Wow, I can't lie I've always been very curious to see what a company like JLAB could do with a higher MSRP. Very weird that no one is talking about them.

[@Diddy_sample247]

It’s cause they aren’t loud enough in ur ears even on max the sound quality this dude is talking about is no existent he noise cancelling is trash the max volume is the main problem u cant hear nun

[@1001nevermore]

Thanks for reviewing these! I've had them for a couple of weeks now (Amazon somehow already had them down to $100 for a couple of days) and I've loved them so far. The USB-C dongle has been a bit of a game changer for me; I use mostly Apple products, so that's kept me with the AirPods Pro to avoid hassles with switching bluetooth connections between devices, but now with this dongle I've only paired the earbuds to my iPhone through bluetooth and just use the dongle to connect to my other devices, and it completely alleviates the headache of bluetooth switching. I'm also glad that you mentioned the Knowles Preferred sound profile; I had completely overlooked this, assuming it was Jlab's usual Balanced profile that sits between their JLab Signature and Bass Boost options for their other headphones, so I hadn't even clicked on it since Balanced is always my least favorite profile. But now that I'm listening to the Knowles Preffered profile, it's definitely becoming my favorite of the preset options. I'm a big fan of Jlab earbuds - I've got several sets of Go Air Pop in different colors simply because of their cheap price (especially when on sale) - and I'm glad to see how well they can deliver in the premium range.

[@montman1498]

How do I enable the ldac Code on these? Thanks

[@DJ279V]

Thx for finally doing a review on these! Upon first look, they appear to be Soundpeats Engine 4 on steroids. I knew they would be great bc the company has teased us for years with great low budget options. I may give these a go this year as they are definitely on my wish list. Thec for sharing!

[@glenndevecchis5493]

Wow. With these, and the new Headphones coming out, looks like Jlab is stepping up with the big boys. I just actually bought a set, of earbuds last week. So sadly Im not in the market for these.

[@yiftahrauch805]

I like foam tips on my IEMs. But for TWS I prefer silicon since I need to pop them in and out quickly.

[@roguegorilla8981]

I just got these in today and honestly the anc for me is really freaking good. I'd say they are better than my elite 10s. Also the sound with the knowles preferred on is unmatched in my opinion. I have tried a lot of earbuds and these sound the best. The bass is absolutely perfect.

[@beliveinurself]

How do they compare? Very happy with my Elite 10’s. Especially after the latest firmware update.

[@roguegorilla8981]

​@@beliveinurselfthat's tough! I'll say I do prefer the fit on the 10s but for sound I think these do a bit better. Having ldac and using the knowles preferred setting is amazing. Everything sounds so clear and the bass has great punch.

[@Flash363]

Which ones would you say are better, these or the Tozo Golden X1s? Feel like they're competitors with that Knowles balanced armature setup

[@reklovjj]

You are first! Finally somebody review this device. I do agree with you on this Epic: outstanding! Got mine for $ 100.00 at launch from Jlab! I still rock my 3ANC though as it’s more punchy and almost no volume limit while the detailed sound still shines. Call quality isn’t as good as you mentioned but surely better than 3 ANC. Didn’t use the dongle so perhaps it gets even better with it. The quality feel is on the whole package for sure. Anyway at the stiff and competitive $200, I’m not sure Epic is a true winner as it would have been around $150.

[@organicthebladerunner7382]

foreal

[@mrraps101]

I have the ANC 3. How do the epic lab compare? Worth upgrading to the epic lab? Are the epic lab louder? I'm thinking with ldac, or ldac and that dongle, they might be?😅 12:46

[@reklovjj]

@@mrraps101 Epic is not an upgrade in fact the only existing upgrade to 3 ANC is PerL Pro at $350.00! LDAC might be fine for Android but no reviews that I’ve seen make it game changer and surely not enough to sway the balance to Epic or any other devices vs 3 ANC

[@organicthebladerunner7382]

@@mrraps101 epics are better in my opinion

[@magia21100]

Better than the Status between 3anc ?​@organicthebladerunner7382

[@burhanbudak6041]

After the Pixel Buds Pro, this is the SECOND Opus enabled earphones on the market. So it support SBC(Meh), LC³, LDAC(license) and OPUS via the Dongle. 4 codecs is a steal, even if it doesnt have AAC Apple the dongle would beb perfect with the iPhone 15 and USB-C iPad.

[@GainingDespair]

So Knowles preferred is a slight sub bass boost and a focal boost, I'm surprised they didn't boost the 16k range as it's know to make stuff sound more open like a larger sound stage/airy.

[@specularog524]

How much should I boost the 16k region?

[@TheKengoudy]

You were right again, I had to try them and now they’re my new favorite earbuds. They’re amazing! An all around great pair of earbuds.

[@OfficialGamesky]

Glad you like them. I did not expect to love them as much as I do

[@Garythefireman66]

Nice to see JLab going premium. They slay in the under $100 price point, but I'm sure these are worth the extra cash

[@tywiggins13]

These are so good. I can’t believe that this company sent out such a high quality product.

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

Jlab releasing a high-end earbud reminded me much of how Tozo did it with their Golden X1 release. Granted, Jlab kills Tozo in the build quality department, but Tozo definitely won if I judge them by their sound quality alone. The ANC is a toss-up given that neither one is capable of earth-shattering noise cancellation, but they're both FAR from bad. Overall I could flip a coin and be happy either way.

[@Capnfapn22]

Oct 2024- picked up a brand new pair of Epics for $100 new on Amazon. Holy S*** these have become my go-to buds for music. The dual drivers are just so dynamic and crisp. I also have Jabra Elite 10s and these have replaced that pair except for travel

[@OfficialGamesky]

@@Capnfapn22 they are special for sure

[@malcontent_1]

Impressive. Surprising. Thanks for all your work!

[@eluv2401]

Definitely going to purchase in the future. Great Review. Thank you for bringing to my attention.

[@Kwizt_36]

Been waiting for your review on this pair! Thanks!

[@maverickduarte5473]

Great video!! Very informative. Appreciate your time & work.

[@omegavladosovich6757]

I know some people will miss the built-in USB-A connector but I'm glad they FINALLY put a Type-C port in one of their TWS products.

[@rodcrispo5859]

Whoa better sound than Bose , Sony, sennheiser!!!! That’s a bold statement! I will definitely have to check out

[@OfficialGamesky]

You won't be disappointed

[@erkanvural3621]

case design looks really premium infact looks like devialet gemini 2. which is completely premium. great video thanks a lot

[@montman1498]

Would you say that the anc is at least on par with the soundcore space a40? Bc those are decent enough for me but I really want some better sound as well..I love the soundcore but really want to try these. Thanks.

[@SatoruGoj.o]

I think Jlab did they earbuds so much better than other previous earbuds, I will purchase it later. Thanks for the video!

[@joshualewis2367]

thanks for reviewing them love to see your review on them

[@rinardobecton]

Deciding between these and baseus ma10s. Biggest things in looking for is not moving or slipping out of my ear and good call quality. The jlab can be found for 99 so I'm not factoring price. Which would you recommend?

[@OfficialGamesky]

The JLab...they're one of my favorites

[@rinardobecton]

Thank you!

[@bengoey]

This is similar to JLab QuantumAir (£89) which also have USBC Dongle .

[@Advisorblogger]

Whoa never seen them. I am still using the epic air anc ones. Might be open was co sidering the beats fit as well

[@davidgoncalves5588]

Denon Perl pro vs Devialet Gemini 2 and JLab Epic Lab Edition? 1,2, 3 please! I am more interested in Sound quality and bigger stage… Continue the good work and thank you for helping us!

[@Gadgetibles]

Great video... Does this sound better the Technics Az80 ?

[@1986mancini]

AZ80 is better according to most people

[@tenzoemury1714]

I like transparency mode. I might get them but, Jlab is a hassle for me. Maybe if I get them at Best Buy, I can deal with defective products better.

[@desi_panzica6474]

Finally an earbud that's close if not right on liberty 3 pros mic quality haha

[@magia21100]

How do these sound compared to Denon or Cambridge ? Can they be EQ to sound like those ? Thank you sir

[@organicthebladerunner7382]

if you go to other tech reviewer channels you seen a lot of comments asking them to check these out

[@OfficialGamesky]

They definitely should. I feel like these are going to be slept on by reviewers and these are no joke

[@Hijynx87]

I need a replacement for my 3ANC (gotta fix or return mine unfortunately). Are these good enough or should I get another pair of 3ANC? I already have app2 and Sony xm3, the 3ANC is perfect for movies and my favorite tws for metal/rock and it competes with wired iems imo. They are like the tws version of the aful performer 5 with a bit punchier midbass.

[@curtisdrayton97]

It’s about time somebody did a review on these earbuds ‼️‼️‼️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@adriansan12345]

Keith Thank you for posting.

[@tylacy7216]

Why would anyone expect $200 earbuds' noise cancellation to equal 300 earbuds? It would be better to compare to earbuds in the same price range. Nice review, as always!

[@mikeevans7381]

So I know you really like the Opera5 and Status Between3 for sound quality and I know those have 2 Knowles drivers. These Jlabs have 1 so it must be the way these companies tune the earbuds. Is that what the difference is? Awesome review on these thank you. 💯👍🇺🇸

[@LuggageChestHead]

It’s a pitty I can’t try them over here in Germany. How does the anc compare to the status between pro 3anc?

[@asan1050]

Goodmorning from Greece! I d appreciate much, if you could tell me about the fitting in the ear. I understand that these buds are amazing and I need that sound experience, but if you can help me it would great. Thanks in advance!

[@organicthebladerunner7382]

its about time someone got to these!

[@miguelrondon6524]

Are this as good as the Opera 5? In clarity, bass and sound quality. Also features?

[@FrotLopOfficial]

Ugh I wish they came out with a hard tip. The rubber seal is too isolating to me

[@returnrecords3015]

I'm having a problem with the bluetooth microphone not working on macos 13 and above, anyone else have the same problem?

[@brucefrankel1311]

For $200 which would you choose: JLAB Epic Edition or Jabra Elite 10?

[@OfficialGamesky]

Honestly I'd go with the JLAB

[@TeddyRen]

Can you change the control settings on these??

[@hokagoteatimereviews]

Awesome! Great review gameskt

[@m3rry_g0ing]

how do these compare to the sony inzone buds

[@GodKingAnderDingus]

I actually dont want the noise cancelling so I'm starting to think this is the perfect pair lol

[@JoseAnayaTV]

Great review! How often do these go on sale?

[@OfficialGamesky]

Not sure...I paid full price

[@reklovjj]

At launch around Thanksgiving 23 Jlab had an offer via AMZ prime at $100.00! Since nobody reviewed them I purchased to include them in my own review against everything avail at the time from Earfun Free 3ANC to Bose Ultra (obviously everything else in between). Epic Edition certainly can compete with any of them yet at $200.00 nothing beats Between 3ANC period! The only device challenging Between 3 ANC is Denon PERl ANC but cost $350.00. No brainer then at $200.00 Between 3ANC any day.

[@Rapaway1]

Im currently using tge oneplus buds 2 pro, but the left side doesn't work, what's the best sounding buds regardless of price?
