The JBuds do offer excellent battery life, perform very well on phone calls, and video syncing is solid. It’s a shame then that the audio performance just doesn’t impress. The three EQs somehow manage to strip mixes of those vital ingredients that make them truly come alive.  You can enjoy listening to music and spoken work audio on the JBuds, of that there’s no doubt, but when you’re spending this much you expect just a bit more sparkle than these earbuds deliver. There are better options out there around this price.
