JLab has earned its reputation as a solid but affordable brand for headphones and earbuds, and its foray into ANC is exciting for those looking to introduce or incorporate noise-cancellation into their home, workplace, or travel routine without breaking the bank. Earlier this year ZDNET editor Jada Jones tried out JLab’s Epic Lab Lux Edition headphones and declared them “her new favorite headphones,” despite being less than half the price of its competitors.

The JBuds Lux headphones are equipped with 40mm drivers and a playtime of 70 hours on a single charge (or about 40 hours using ANC). In addition to traditional noise cancellation, these headphones also offer Spatial Audio, Hybrid ANC, which adjusts to your environment to best filter out unwanted noise up to 35dB, and “Stay Aware” mode, which allows you to stay connected with your surroundings while maintaining your focus.

One aspect I like about these headphones is that the microphones are also noise-canceling, ensuring that your calls are as distraction-free as possible. Wireless Share mode lets you share audio between two Lux headphones, and although the earcups fold inside, the headphones are easy to find with Google Find My Device.
