Earbuds are small, and no one was really asking them to be smaller. However, that didn’t stop JLab from further reducing their size. Today, JLab just unveiled the Jbuds Mini, according to Engadget, and they’re so small that the charging case can fit on a keychain.
The company announced the earbuds back in December 2022, so it’s definitely been a long time coming. While these earbuds are small, the company managed to retain a solid experience.
The JLab JBuds Mini are tiny, but they’re big where it counts
With such a small size, you’d expect these earbuds to skimp on the essentials, but that’s not really the case. The only main feature that the company cut was ANC (Active Noise Cancelation). Other than that, these buds can provide a solid experience.
They have a set of 6mm drivers to deliver the sound, so you won’t need to worry about a lack of power. While they don’t have ANC, they still offer transparency mode for when you need to listen to the world. This is done through a set of noise-cancelling microphones on the buds, and this will make calls much better.
This might sound a bit tedious with a pair of earbuds so small, but they do use touch controls. You can do pretty much anything you need using the touch controls such as control your music, summon the assistant of your choice, activate/deactivate transparency mode, etc.
If you’re worried about these earbuds’ endurance when it comes to battery life, you’d be pleasantly surprised with how long they last. While they’re practically microscopic, you’re able to get about 5.5 hours of battery life with about 20 hours with the included charging case. Those aren’t the best numbers, but they’re still pretty solid. They can get you through the day.
Other specs include Google’s Fast Pair technology. This will allow you to connect the earbuds to your Android device without having to dig into the Bluetooth settings. Lastly, these earbuds have IP55 water and dust resistance. This means that you don’t have to worry about your sweat ruining them if you’re working or working out with them on.
The JLab JBuds Mini will officially launch on September 1st and set you back only $40. They’ll come in Mint, Sage, Pink, Aqua, and Black colorways.
