    Pros - Sound quality is very good for the price, love the size, its very convenient, and they feel good and light in the ear. Cons - controls are a bit weird to operate, i usualyl have to wait to see if the input went through, since they are touch and not buttons.

    I was looking for pink earbuds specifically and am pretty happy with these. The sound quality is pretty decent- its not the best if you’re an audiophile but if you’re looking to listen to music and podcasts casually you’ll be happy. It’s got decent tone and functionality. The microphone isn’t the best but I really only use them on walks or for work.

    So small and comfortable

    These JLab - JBuds Mini True Wireless earbuds are the smallest pair of earbuds have ever used! Paring to my iPhone 14 was quick and simple, I highly recommend downloading the JLabs app to adjust the earbuds to your listening preferences. I used the JLabs app to customize the sound settings to my preferred listening type and also customized the earbuds touch controls to suit my needs. The JLab - JBuds Mini True Wireless earbuds sound great and were comfortable to wear for an extended period of time. The noise cancellation works well to block out unwanted noise. The be aware setting is helpful when using the earbuds while going for a walk outside to enjoy my music, but be aware of my surroundings and staying safe. Changing volume, tracking up, playing or pausing music was easy with the customizable controls via the JLab app. I will say for some people with larger hands, these JLab - JBuds Mini True Wireless earbuds might be a little difficult to handle at times. They are seriously so small and compact. I did have some issues arise with the earbuds cutting out on occasion and some weird delays between left and right earbuds listening to music. I feel a firmware update could solve this issue and didn’t take away from my listening enjoyment. Overall if you’re looking for compact, comfortable set of earbuds that don’t break the bank, these might just be for you. I enjoy these so much I plan to purchase a pair for my daughter to use.

    JBuds Minis:Compact, Convenient & Full of Features

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My first impression of the JBuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds was that they were just another pair of earbuds in a crowded market. However, upon closer inspection, I discovered their unique niche. These earbuds are not only small in size but also come with a compact case that can easily fit in your pocket or be attached to a keyring using the handy loop and ring provided. This compact design sets them apart from other earbuds that often come with bulky cases. The case measures approximately 1.75" x 1.5" x 1", making it incredibly portable. Additionally, the package includes two extra sets of earbud covers, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your ears. One standout feature of these earbuds is their ability to connect to three devices simultaneously. This is particularly useful for work scenarios where you may need to switch between your smart office phone, MacBook Pro, and mobile phone. Furthermore, the earbuds offer a battery life of around 5 to 6 hours per charge, while the case can provide an additional 20 hours of charge. In terms of setup, connecting to multiple devices is straightforward by following the provided instructions. The manual is well-written, with clear instructions and helpful visual aids. You can also download the app by scanning the QR code, which allows for further customization of the button presses and access to various equalizer settings. Call quality is clear, thanks to the presence of two microphones that help cancel out background noise during calls. The buttons on the earbuds are easy to use for answering, rejecting, and hanging up on calls. The earbuds are also water-resistant, making them suitable for some rain or sweat. However, it's important to note that the case is not water-resistant, so it's best to dry the earbuds before storing them. The performance of the earbuds in terms of music playback is impressive, with clear mids and highs. However, the bass lacks definition compared to higher-end earbuds. It is recommended to try different ear tips to find the best fit for optimal sound quality. There was a noticeable difference when I tried on different ear tips. With one of them I had a much better fit and better sound quality. The JBuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds support spatial audio and provide access to various equalizer settings through the app. While the music and movie modes are available, the differences between them weren't particularly noticeable. The noise-canceling feature, though not the most powerful, still does a decent job. It's worth mentioning that the volume can reach high levels, and the app itself is well-designed and user-friendly. Charging the earbuds takes approximately one to two hours. In conclusion, I would recommend the JBuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds, even if you already own another pair of earbuds. Their portability, polished app, and packed features make them a versatile choice for both work and play. They excel in areas such as phone calls, multi-device connectivity, and volume output. I really like the size of the case and the ability to put it on a key ring. The sound won't blow you away, but the call quality is great, and you can absolutely get quality sound for movies, music, or games. Pros: Compact and portable design Multi-device connectivity Clear and loud sound quality Polished and user-friendly app Cons: Small size may not fit everyone comfortably Bass definition lags behind higher-end earbuds

    Vanishingly small, easy to transport earbuds.

    Yikes, these things are tiny. Features such as Bluetooth, multipoint Bluetooth (listen with a friend!), noise cancelling, and a charging case with 20 hours of charge that fits comfortably on a key-chain are what you get with the JLab JBuds Mini. Each earbud also holds a 5.5-hour charge. The packaging is suitably sized for the diminutive product and is pretty traditional other than a clever folding pattern dividing the sections. The plastic of the charging case is a traditional hard plastic adorned with a fabric tether on one end to slip the supplied metal keyring through and then eventually attach to something. The buds are accompanied by three sets of different-sized tips, the charging case, and a short USB-C to USB-C charging cord manufactured in the blue color typical of JLab’s color theme. There is also a quick start guide that covers the basics of pairing, etc. and points to the JLab app and latest version manual via QR codes. Speaking of the app, it is pleasingly simple with access to a full, 1-octave interval graphic equalizer that is called custom, and additionally, three other pre-selected curves, and movie and music modes. There is a section of the app that gives you settings also controlled by various touch methods (tapping or holding) on the end surfaces of each individual earbud such as volume, voice assist (like Siri), play/pause, music/movie mode, track forward, EQ change, Be Aware ambient sound detection, answering calls, hanging up calls, and rejecting incoming calls. After applying a charge via the supplied USB cord, loading the JLab app and selecting an appropriate ear tip size, we are ready to check them out. As I’ve mentioned in another review, my ear canals are on the larger size, so I started with the largest ear tips and was met with a very tinny, no-bass sound indicating that the critical seals in the ear canals were not happening. So, digging around in my spare ear tip bag, I found a pair of larger-sized silicone tips that fit the body of the earbuds and tried them with some music and the sound was much better. I also tried some foam ear tips that were too small to seal, so I gave up on those. After playing around with the different EQ presets and the custom EQ position, I found some settings that were reasonably good, although not the best I’ve ever heard. One of the concerns with the larger ear tips, is that there is a size limitation to the area in the charger case allotted to the ear tip area due to the smaller original size of these ear buds. The tips I used to achieve a better sound barely fit in that part of the case, but they did, and allowed charging to occur. The phone capability of the earbuds was described as being somewhat distant by persons I was on the phone with. I would have had to increase my speaking voice volume considerably to achieve a reliable conversation. Although the documentation doesn’t go into much detail about the claimed noise cancelling feature, it may be that it may only pertain to cancelling noise on the microphones for phone use. There is no on/off function to test with ambient noise cancelling, although with a good physical ear tip seal, background noise is lessened, although not perhaps to the level that leading over-the-ear noise cancelling headphones achieve. A person of smaller size in my household, using the largest of the factory supplied ear tips was very happy with the seal, the bass response, and the overall sound. She went so far as to say, “These are mine now.” She cited that they felt so much more confidently positioned in the ear compared to other models, as they did not protrude out very far because of the smaller overall size and felt like they wouldn’t accidently come out unexpectedly. I can second that opinion despite perhaps not being in the target audience for this product that may be more intended for a smaller-sized user. She said she preferred the sound to the half-eaten fruit brand she was now using even considering they were the (far) more expensive model. These earbuds are truly mini in size although pretty big in both value and performance for the correctly-sized consumer. Their easy-to-take-along demeanor witnessed by the ability to hang around on a key-chain or hang around from a carabiner onto the side of a backpack, purse, or belt-loop makes these a ready and capable travel companion.

    The primary appeal of the Jlab JBuds Mini is right in the name - they're mini, and notably so. The case itself fits in the palm easily and can be attached to your house/car keys or slipped into a pocket without adding significant bulk. They're certainly the smallest earbuds I've ever used, and they manage to be impressive despite their size. Since these are an in-ear design, they manage to provide some level of noise isolation even without ANC (active noise cancellation) - great for commuting. With the JLab app, you can also enable transparency ("Be Aware") mode and tweak EQ settings - the "JLab Signature" and "Balanced" settings worked better for me than "Bass Boost", which at times was actually physically painful to listen to, but you can create custom EQ settings and adjust as you see fit which is a great benefit. Though I'm no audiophile, I felt the JBuds Mini had surprisingly good sound quality for their small form factor - though they did come off a little "muted" or as if something was lacking, even with the Bass Boost EQ setting and even with the volume maxed. My Airpods sound better in my opinion, but they're also a fair bit larger. Sound is subjective, at any rate! These are certainly better than the cheap Skullcandy buds you might find at train stations in my view, and hardly a disappointment. Battery life is also more than adequate, with the buds themselves lasting over four hours on a single charge and the case lasting me the day. Again, these fall just short of my Airpods (which seem to last forever!) but I can excuse that given the size. You can easily get through a full day without needing to top up, and even if you do, the USB-C charging input makes it trivial to do so. The IP55 rating means you can use these for workouts without worrying about damaging them from sweat, and the touch controls - though finicky in my experience - can be remapped mostly to your choosing (a notable exception is movie mode, which can't be remapped from the left bud; if you - like me - often have just one bud in, you can't easily swap from music to movie mode using touch controls with the right bud in). I did feel that these weren't particularly comfortable for longer sessions, but for lightweight listening on the bus or train during a commute, these work great. That seems to be the running theme for the JBuds Mini, in my experience with them. They're not the most robust set of buds out there, but their form factor and design are so clearly oriented towards being light, travel-friendly earbuds versus a "premium" listening experience that I can't complain. They do fantastic at being a "grab and go" pair of buds that you can clip to your keys and if all you want these for is having a set of earbuds ready to go, on the go...these are hard to pass up. You sacrifice some battery life and audio quality but for those wanting portability and travel-friendliness above all else, it's hard to think of a set better suited than these. The JBuds Mini won't be replacing my Airpods, but it's hard to deny the utility these offer and they'll likely live on my keys as a backup set of earbuds for travel.

    These are the smallest earbuds I’ve ever seen in terms of size and case. Despite the size, they still fit snugly in my ear and stay put when I’m out and about. The are also the only earbuds I’ve found that fit my 8 year old, which has been a big hit around the house for him. The buds are largely meant for convenience, as their small size and attached keyring allow you to easily bring them with you whenever you are. That said, the sound quality is lacking in comparison to a fuller size earbud. The bass is thin and almost non-existent, but the highs are fairly clear and not tinny. I’ve made a few phone calls on these and told they sound okay, but nothing to get excited about. The mic does seem to easily pick up, despite being so small and far from my mouth. As for connecting these, they connect effortlessly and go into pairing mode as soon as you pull them out. The battery life is also really impressive. Overall, I think these are great earbuds if you are looking for backup pair, or you don’t use earbuds often. They are plenty comfortable, but the lack of bass is bothersome. In a pinch, I would be very happy to have these attached to my keyring, but long term I would want something with a fuller range.

    Tiny compact earbuds to take with you everywhere!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Quick Overview ================================= If you're looking for a tiny set of true wireless earbuds for maximum portability, discreet listening, or just because you need smaller earpieces for your ears, check out these Jlab Jbuds Mini True Wireless Earbuds! Overall build ================================= The first thing you'll notice is that everything is tiny! The box itself is tiny and they're billed as the smallest true wireless earbuds of any major headphone brand. The box, case and earbuds are seriously tiny! The box even includes a keychain ring and a tiny USB-C cable. Yes, the earbuds are made of plastic, but it doesn't mean they aren't sturdy! They are IP55 rated for dust and sweat, so you should be able to use this for a workout as long as you're not dunking them in water! Back to the earbuds themselves, they are tiny! First thing you'll want to do is remove each from the charging case and peel of a sticker that was blocking the electrical contacts. After that, place them back in the case, let it charge to full just in case, and then you're ready to go. Performance ================================= Pairing these is a cinch since they're BT 5.3 and they literally popped up at the bottom of my phone screen when I removed them from the case. Since they support multipoint, you can pair them with your work laptop or work phone so you can easily switch from one to another. Again, this is a seriously underrated feature that isn't something you can take for granted, even on some more expensive brands. Kudos to Jlab for incorporating BT multipoint across so many of their products! Right after pairing, the app notified me about a firmware update and that happened without a hitch! Before you listen to any earbuds, you'll want to ensure a proper seal by selecting the right tips. Jlab includes S, M (attached), and L tips so use the one you want for a proper seal to maximize the sound quality. Also, since these aren't ANC-enabled, you'll want to block out the outside noises. After that, slip these tiny buds into your ears. I can't imagine an ear that wouldn't find these comfortable except for those with the largest of ears. They are so small, that you can adjust and pivot these all around to get the best fit. Firing up some Spotify from Kpop to Jpop to EDM, the first thing I noticed as a lack of bass and warmth, so I used their "bass boost" EQ profile which definitely helped. Yes, these are small drivers that may not have enough power, but I think the sound quality tops out at "good enough for workouts and work calls". Getting a good seal and adjusting the EQ to your preference will really help! There are simple touch controls on each ear and since each earbud is so small, it's easy to push them while making any fit adjustments so watch out for that. Luckily the touch controls (and all sorts of things) can be configured/disabled/enabled in the app. While you're in the app, there's also a Movie Mode and Music Mode you can switch between (configurable on the touch controls also) for less lag/lip sync while you're watching Netflix or YouTube. It really helps, so if you notice some issues while watching video, switch modes! You'll want to switch back and forth as needed since Movie Mode probably consumes more battery and reduces the effective range. Still, it's a great feature to have when needed! From a technical perspective, these only support SBC, which is a good all-around BT codec, but it won't give you the dynamic range or quality of APT-X variations. That's OK, though - these aren't top-of-the-line earbuds! Lastly, there's a transparency mode (Jlab calls it Be Aware) that you can turn on to allow for some ambient sound to make it in. I still wouldn't recommend these for riding a bike or jogging on the street, but perhaps the use-case is while you're working at home and need to ensure you can listen for your children, pets, a doorbell, etc. The transparency mode works well, but since I wasn't getting a perfect seal and was keeping the volume at mid-high levels, I could still hear loud sounds around me. They should last 5+ (rated at 5.5) hours for each listening session and the case has enough battery to charge them again 3 more times. They are so compact, these really are a pair you can take with you anywhere. I have a lot of different sets that may have a decent sized earbud, but have huge, un-pocketable charging cases! If you need to have a set with you all the time, consider these! Conclusion ================================= If you have a need to keep your music with you at all times, these tiny buds and tiny case will help make that happen! If you have smaller ears and can't find comfortable larger pairs, these would be a great solution also. They don't skimp on features with multipoint and Movie Mode, but just be aware they may not be the best sounding pair you have. Still, like the old adage goes about cameras, the best earbuds are the ones you have with you!

    I eventually got these even though I have more JLab headphones and earbuds than I need because JLab keeps making interesting products. They have always been a great value for the money with their products and available options seen on more expensive models. The only reason 4 out of 5 stars is the battery life doesn't seem to live up as advertised. I still have a pair of 10+ year old JLab earbuds that last the full length of advertised time as when I first opened the box, and all my other JLab products' battery life as been spot on (or greater) without losing juice over the years. So they make a good product with good batteries. Which is why this particular pair is docked 1 star because I know theirs battery life should be top notch. It seems I charge the case more often than expected, but the earbuds themselves do last quite a while. I finally ordered them because I was curious just how small they really were...and they really are small. Tiny. But great sounding like their other earbuds. I bought them for portability to always have a pair with me without taking up pocket space or carrying bulky cases. I wear these on a necklace under my shirt and now I'm never without earbuds in a pinch. I recommend the JLab Mini's for anyone wanting convenience of carry or and/or for anyone needing a smaller fitting earbud for comfort or just to have.

    Overall, they’re decent headphones for the price. My only real issue is how quickly the batteries die, both in the headphones and the case itself after about 3 months of use. That said, they are very comfortable and the sound optics for receiving and outgoing are good, especially if you use them for business meetings like I do.

    Bought these when I lost another pair of headphones for the third time. Bought these due to not having enough money for the brand I used to have and am not planning on switching back soon. I had these for about 6 months before I lost one of them and i can say without a doubt that this purchase is worth it if you need some budget headphones. My old headphones used to lower in sound quality after a few months but these stayed strong throughout. Even though this product's battery life isn’t as strong as my others. It still lasted me a good few hours and got me through whatever I was planning on doing that day.
