“Everyone deserves to experience the magic of exceptional audio quality. However, not all music lovers have $300 to spend on great headphones. We took that as a challenge,” says JLab CEO Win Cramer. “The JBuds Lux ANC wireless headphones redefine the category, demonstrating how much is possible at a relatively low entry point. We integrated the best Bluetooth technologies, exceptional noise canceling capabilities, an incredibly comfortable platform, and all the bells and whistles to produce exceptional sound. Lux offers an unparalleled listening experience for sub-$100 headphones and we can’t wait for you to try them on for size.”

Not skimping on audio quality, JLab equipped the JBuds Lux ANC headphones with high fidelity playback delivered by the same size 40mm drivers as offered by most manufacturers in the premium ANC segment. These drivers produce an extended frequency response with very low distortion (THD), measuring <1% at 1.0kHz/1mW. And that audio quality is extended by Smart Active Noise Canceling (ANC) technology, which not only expertly filters out external noises for audio playback, but also gives users the ability to take clear calls without worrying about unwanted noise. The ANC implementation reduces up to 25dB with three modes: ANC High, ANC Off, and Be Aware (customizable levels via JLab App).
And since not all users listen and hear the same way, Jlab offers the ability for users to fully customize their listening experience via the JLab App. Listeners can enjoy advanced features like Safe Hearing Mode, which limits the maximum volume output to World Health Organization recommended limits. In addition to this, a complete set of EQ controls allow users to fine tune their sound or choose from three default settings: JLab Signature, Balanced and Bass Boost.

Curiously, although JLab clearly mentions that the JBuds Lux ANC Wireless Headphones support Spatial Audio and are Bluetooth LE Audio compatible, no further details are offered in the announcement. Compatibility with Google Fast Pair for locating headphones (the Google emulation of Apple Find My), and Fast Charge allowing for 4 hours of use with just 10 minutes of charging via USB-C, are mentioned. Spatial audio support is mentioned multiple times in the CES product announcement, together with a mysterious reference to “Immersive Lab quality sound” but no explanation is offered. And nothing is said about LE Audio or Auracast. Clearly, manufacturers think that supporting Bluetooth LE Audio is important, but they do not think that it’s a selling point for consumers... yet.
“In a market where quality often comes at a high cost, JLab is known to stand out by providing cutting-edge features without breaking the bank. JLab’s commitment to innovation and dedication to affordability sets the JBuds Lux ANC Wireless Headphones apart as the go-to choice for serious and casual listeners, alike,” the company states.
