JLab has introduced the Go Pop ANC, their most affordable active noise cancelling earbuds, priced at $29.99 MSRP (coming soon to Amazon). These earbuds carry an IP55 rating, meaning they are both waterproof and dustproof, so direct water sprays won’t harm them. Users can easily connect the Go Pop ANC to several devices within a range of 30 feet (9.1 meters) thanks to Google Fast Pair and the multipoint Bluetooth 5.3 capabilities.
Powerful Sound Performance
The JLab earbuds are equipped with a large 10mm driver that delivers strong sound performance across a frequency spectrum of 20Hz to 20 kHz. They feature dual solid-state MEMS microphones which help with noise cancellation during outdoor calls. Both calls and music are transmitted using the universal SBC Bluetooth codec.
User-Friendly Controls
Basic controls for the earbuds can be managed through the touch functionality built directly into them. Moreover, the JLab smartphone app offers extra control over sound equalization, noise cancellation, and modes for music and movies, along with safe hearing features and updates. There’s a unique Be Aware mode that lets important ambient sounds in for safety in situations where users need to stay alert. The Dual Connect feature allows for one earbud to be used on its own, independent from the other.
Impressive Battery Life
With noise cancellation turned on, the Go Pop ANC earbuds can last for 6 hours before needing to be recharged. The included charging case, which comes with a built-in USB-C charging cable, can quickly charge the earbuds, offering one hour of playtime after just ten minutes of charging. The case itself provides an extra 21 hours of battery life. A complete charge for the earbuds or case takes around two hours.
Compact Design
The dimensions of the Go Pop ANC earbuds are 0.80 x 0.68 x 0.87 inch (20.3 x 17.3 x 22.1 mm), and they weigh only 0.29 ounce (8.2 grams). The charging case measures 2.2 x 1.0 x 1.6 inch (55.9 x 25.4 x 40.6 mm) and weighs 0.78 ounce (22 grams).
While the noise cancellation of the Go Pop ANC may be satisfactory, those in search of the highest quality ANC earbuds available could consider the Sony WF-1000XM5 earbuds (available here on Amazon) which retail for $299.99.
