In 2020, I came upon simply how strong a pair of $29 true wi-fi earbuds may very well be. JLab’s Go Air covers all of the fundamentals regardless that they lack the polish of costlier units. For its newest buds, the Go Air Pop, the corporate is taking issues a step additional with higher battery life and a totally enclosed charging case. JLab lower the value much more too: these earbuds will solely value you $20. 

Like the Go Air, you may get all the core performance of true wi-fi earbuds with the Go Air Pop. That consists of on-board contact controls, the flexibility to make use of both earbud independently, EQ presets and IPX4 moisture resistance. The general design of the buds can be comparable, though JLab says the Go Air Pop is 15 % smaller and 40 % lighter than the Go Air. 

The largest variations are the case and the battery life. The Go Air is available in an open case with an connected USB cable that tucks within the backside. The built-in plug is again on the Go Air Pop, however the case has a lid like virtually each different set of true wi-fi buds. JLab prolonged battery life to eight hours on the buds themselves, up from 5 on the Go Air. The case provides you with three extra expenses earlier than you may must plug the entire set in. 

JLab is not the one firm cranking out sub-$30 true wi-fi earbuds. Skullcandy debuted the $25 Dime again in March, a set of buds with a extra AirPod-like design. The Dime can solely muster three and a half hours on a cost, nevertheless it does provide on-board controls and IPX4 water resistance in your exercises. 

The Go Air Pop will ship in late August. When it does, you’ll be able to select between black, lilac, rose, slate and teal shade choices.
