JLab's JBuds Frames Provide Wireless Audio For Any Glasses

JLab Audio is determined to solve major issues consumers have in the wearables category with existing audio-integrated eyewear with the launch of its new JBuds Frames. Opposite to many existing product concepts already launched in the market of eyeglasses frames with built-in speakers, the San Diego, CA-based company decided to offer clip-on wireless speakers that can be added to any existing frames. The new JBuds Frames are also much more affordable.

JLab Audio is now getting into the USB-microphone space. With three stunning USB-C designs, the new JLab Talk line of microphones is ideal for everything from streaming and web-based calls, to podcasting and eventually professional-level recording. The company was clearly thinking ahead and created the Talk Series with plug & play compatibility, 24-bit output, 3.5mm headphone jack for zero latency monitoring, quick-mute button, 5/8" mount foldable stands, and on-mic controls.

True wireless headphones sales have enjoyed extraordinary growth in the past year. After a very successful Q4 2018, which saw shipments reach a total equal to the previous three quarters combined, Q1 2019 witnessed year-on-year growth of 223% in units and 188% in revenue. Consumers appear to enjoy the freedom that truly wireless products bring. Although, the continued domination by AirPods does still mean that the market remains a largely Apple phenomenon.

The CES Innovation Awards is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products. As in previous years, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) announced the CES 2019 Innovation Honorees, including those products recognized as Best of Innovation Honorees, during the annual CES Unveiled event in New York. This year's nominees have a strong focus on sustainable and eco-friendly concepts. Audio products highlighted in the Innovation Awards include many surprises, including a Best of Innovation tube amplifier!

What can you do when the market gets crowded in a category were sales didn't even take off that much? For a mass-market consumer-oriented brand like JLab Audio there's only one solution: stick to the essential and pack the best possible design and features in the cheapest product possible with decent specifications. The San Diego-based brand launched their JBuds Air True Wireless Signature Earbuds, which feature 14-hour battery life and custom EQ settings and will retail at an M.S.R.P. of only $49.99.

Designed to eliminate 90% of background noise and offering up to 7 hours of Bluetooth and ANC playtime at only $99, the new JLab Epic Executive Wireless Active Noise Canceling Earbuds are turning heads at IFA 2017 in Berlin. This is the first major incursion from the San Diego-based company outside the North American market, where they will be featuring also the Epic Air True Wireless Sport Earbuds, Party Series Wireless Multiroom Bluetooth Speakers and JBuds Pro Signature Bluetooth Earbuds.
