Review: Highly recommend! - Updated Review After A Few Months: So, I've had a few months with these and they have certainly diminished over time. Bluetooth connection has grown weaker. My oldest pair of these will only stay connected when there is audio playing. My newest pair (From like, a month after my first pair) is still going strong, only a few issues here and there. Between my purchases, they updated the design of the ear pads and made the mounting arms wider. I have 2 feelings about this; A. I love that they listen. JLabs is a good company that makes really solid gold standard baseline tech items It's affordable, it's good quality, I would easily recommend JLab products. B. I hate the redesign lol. My glasses are very thin so this just adds a lot to my glasses and shoves into my face. The arms going out a bit more jab into the side of my head. I'm not a fan of this design decision. Personally, I would prefer if they had options so everybody could be happy about it. But, it's not such a bad design that it subtracts from the overall experience. It's one of those annoyances that you'll forget about after a minute. But it is there. As it currently stands, I would still recommend these, EASILY. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Initial Review: Honestly, I'm really surprised by these and I don't see how they could be anything but 5 stars personally. How do they Sound? - They sound great! Like, surprisingly so. I would compare the sound quality to that of just listening to your phone speaker, but if it was like, in your blind spot? lol So it's not like, a Dolby experience by any means, but it's also not bad at all. How do they pair? - Pairing them is a little funky, you need to make sure they are both on before you pair, otherwise you're just gonna pair one. Which is a fine flaw imo, it's essentially a pair of bluetooth headsets anyways. If they're both on, you just have to pair it once, it'll pop up as one thing. If you pair one and then try to pair the other, it'll pop them both up as individual things. Make sure both of them say "Hello" What does it feel like to wear them? - Honestly, I forget they are there. They are both so incredibly lightweight. If I said my glasses didn't move at all from the extra weight, I'd be lying, but it's surprisingly a lot less movement than you'd thing. It's almost negligible to what you'd normally experience from just moving around. Plus you get these rubber cushions so it's super unobtrusive overall. if you position them right, you'll forget like they are there entirely. How does the microphone sound? - Well, it's not the worse I've ever heard. It's surprisingly clear but it's also quite metallic sounding. It kinda sounds like you're halfway in the background talking into a phone from the early 2010's? I tested the microphone audio using both these as a headset and a pair of really nice studio quality high fidelity headphones. It sounds better when hearing the microphone's audio back through these headphones, it sounds much more distant using my nice headphones through an Equalizer. How good is the Audio Projection, these don't go into the ears right? - Correct! They sit on your glasses, in front of your ear. I mentioned sorta all the relevant bits to this question. Sounds like a phone speaker, kinda sorta tinny but overall pretty clear. In terms of hearing the audio when you aren't the one wearing it though? - You'll still hear it for sure, but it definitely will not be anywhere as loud as when they are on your head. Kinda sounds like a muffled phone speaker at a distance. At least at full volume. A lot easier to miss it if the volume is lower, although it starts getting a bit harder to hear after awhile, obviously. How is the Battery life? - 8 hours of use and way more just idle is crazy and I 100% believe it. Better battery life than my watch. Are there any Controls? - there is 1 button on each device. Long pressing them turns them on and off. Single pressing them turns the volume up or down. Right = Up, Left = Down. Double pressing the right button will play or pause whatever you're watching. Super nice feature. I can listen to what I'm listening to as I walk to the kitchen and pause it if somebody starts talking to me without being at my computer. What about the Material? - Plastic. Honestly, overall they do feel pretty cheap, but I actually don't think this is a negative. It's not a bad cheap feeling, like I couldn't snap it with my fingers just attaching it a little stronger than I needed to. It's lightweight and I think the cheapness of it the material actually makes it better. What does it come with? - 2 devices, 1 charging cable that charges both at the same time, a REALLY nice little carrying bag and a 3 month free trial to Tidal. So that's really neat. Makes me feel like some actual care and consideration went into these Overall, These are such a GOOD deal. $15 and you get 2 bluetooth headsets, a nice case, a nice charger and a 3 month subscription to Tidal? It's an absolute steal. If you want Smart glasses but don't wanna drop $300 for something you already have on your face, These are a must!
Review: Did not work; would not sync and locked up - Really wanted this to work for me, as other products did not. I am a glasses wearer and wanted the open ear tech with Alexa compatibility. PRO: the Sound was actually pretty good. CONS: 1. The jbuds did not properly stay in place on the glasses frames, tried to use the included rubber spacers, which DID work, but unfortunately pressed into my temples to much causing it to be sore within an hour. Had to rely on tape to keep them in place. 2. Had extreme difficulty getting both of them to sync with each other, and the phone. Only one or the other side would connect most of the time, and they would not sync together as they were supposed to. Did finally manage to get them to work together after doing some Manual Reset function, but on the next use they were back to not syncing with each other again. 3. The first time I tried to use them for an actual phone call, the phone refused to switch over to them, despite being connected and paired with bluetooth. Turned out that the right side earbud actually 'locked up' in the ON position, and stopped responding to button presses and could not Reset it. No amount of pressing the only button on it worked, or could turn it off. There is no way of doing a Reset unless its working. Overall: I bought these because they went from $50 to $14 here, and now I understand why. The included instructions are less than forthcoming in actual instruction, no idea how/how long to charge them for and they simply did not work at all for me. Processed a Return for them here....

A: Hi I’m sorry to hear that I will give you some steps to try to make it work. If it still doesn’t you can return no problem. 
1st, disconnect so it doesn't connect automatically again. 2nd, put the earbuds inside and leave the charger case opened. 3rd, press one earpiece 4 times quickly and you'll see a blinking blue light. 4th, Repeat the other earbuds; press earbuds quickly 4 times quickly until a blinking blue light Shows.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW, Better than I thought
*by A***N on July 26, 2023*

OK, so, Lets just start off by saying your not buying these to rock out with music its not your purpose. With that aside, these perform Better than all expectations in the class of device that they are meant for. I have the Bose Glasses (a member of the family has them, I wear prescription) so I can compare them 1:1. The Good 1. They make for great phone calls as the person on the other end compared them favorably to iPhone speakerphone or other High End Earbud bluetooth devices, example apple airbuds pro. 2. They make for great listing to podcasts, with loud crisp audio this is right in line for why these were made. 3. They are good for watching Youtube and other streaming media videos. The Stereo and large Room Feel that they give you makes for a nice soundscape. 4. They make for a nice "soundtrack for your life" if you put music on and compare it to a stereo playing in the distance while you go about your day and are able to interact with people. 5. The price point!!!! I mean the price point. Currently 15$ I mean they are giving these things away. The Sound coming out of these for everything calls, music etc is comparable if not slightly better because its louder than the Bose (first generation) Sunglasses. If you don't mind the look of them on your Rims' I'd recommend these over the bose just for Volume and Price. But, when it comes to looks... there is no comparison, Bose wins. the Bad. They look a little goofy sitting on your glasses. That's just something you will have to get over. And before people knew what bluetooth was, that thing hanging on your ear looked goofy too. If you don't have large rims, it may be challenging getting them to stick properly. The sides are metal and they come with rubber feet so if you work at it, you should be able to get it to stick to thinner metal frames, but larger framed glasses and sunglasses are closer to the market for these. It doesn't quite have All Day battery life. but, who cares at $15. hell if you love em that much by 2. lol. Someone commented that they make your glasses heavier and it makes it heavier on your nose. Not for me. I have them pushed back toward my ear so far that its pushing up against my head and the tension against my head mitigates the weight on the glasses. In essence they "hold their own weight" with friction. I have over a dozen bluetooth headsets. I like getting them and trying them out. Many are cheap Chinese ones I just like to try. But I also Own AirPods Max, AirPods Pro, Sony XM1000s', In Ear Triple Driver UE's - in other words I don't mess around with sound. I will definitely be using these for convenience for calls and for podcasts and for those times that I just have to stay aware of my surroundings. Count me a Fan
