January 7 2025, 09:10
JLab announced its most advanced wireless headphones ever with the launch of its new Epic Lux Lab Edition model. The new over-ear headphones made their debut at CES 2025, where they surprised positively for the balanced sound with custom dynamic drivers, adaptive noise cancellation, 90+ hours of playtime, clear call capability, and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. Interestingly, wireless charging is supported directly from the earcups, and the headphones come with an included charging dock.
 

Crafted for tech and lifestyle enthusiasts, the Epic Lux Lab Edition headphones are a testament to JLab’s dedication to providing cutting-edge audio solutions with premium features at affordable prices. During CES, audioXpress had the opportunity to  try the headphones and enquire about the technologies selected for the new model. The spokesperson for JLab declined to reveal the key suppliers. The company prefers to present every feature as its own unique development instead of leveraging the branding from others.

With advanced immersive sound features and adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) technology, these new wireless headphones provide a very impressive sound in a design that is as comfortable as it feels luxurious. The headphones feature Cloud Foam ear cups and a padded headband, ensuring that they remain comfortable even during extended wear. Their foldable design maximizes portability, making them perfect for travel, fitness, and work. 

“The Epic Lux Lab Edition represents the pinnacle of performance and technology for the brand,” says Win Cramer, JLab’s CEO. “As consumers immerse themselves in music and video content more than ever, we’ve integrated every detail to combine cutting-edge technology with a user-centric design. With features like our Lab Spatial Audio, Adaptive Noise Cancelation, swipe and button controls combined with extensive battery life, the Epic Lux Lab Edition go above and beyond what it means to deliver a premium audio experience. We’ve not forgotten about value. The sound, features, and benefits built into the Epic Lux Lab Edition are unmatched at $199.”
 

The Epic Lux Lab Edition’s sound is powered by 32mm high-fidelity custom dynamic drivers that provide a frequency response of 20Hz to 40kHz for users to enjoy Hi-Res music material. Enhanced by JLab’s Lab Spatial Audio algorithm with head-tracking technology, the Epic Lux Lab Edition creates an immersive 360-degree sound experience, resulting in highly dynamic and lifelike music and content experiences, whatever the content source.

According to the San Diego, California brand, the Epic Lux Lab edition model is also the first from JLab to offer Adaptive Noise Canceling (ANC) technology that filters through various noise frequencies in real-time and with Artificial intelligence (AI) that automatically reduces environmental sounds up to 42dB. Switch to Be Aware mode is a transparency mode to hear outside sounds when desired, which is ideal for taking phone calls that feel natural or listening to music or podcasts in situations that require heightened awareness.

Featuring 4 beamforming microphones (two on each earcup), combined with JLab’s advanced environmental noise canceling algorithm, the Epic Lux Lab Edition offers crystal clear and uninterrupted communication during phone calls. Whether the user is on a call during a busy commute or speaking outside on a windy day, the microphones ensure professional and personal calls are handled with ease, no matter the environment.

Boasting over 90+ hours of playtime on a single charge, the Epic Lux Lab Edition is ideal for all-day and all-week use. Unique to this model, the headphones support wireless charging and include a magnetic wireless charging pad, offering 5 hours of playtime from just 5 minutes of charging. Additionally, the built-in USB-C port provides a quick and convenient option for traditional charging.

The Epic Lux Lab Edition headphones also prioritize connectivity with advanced Bluetooth Multipoint technology, allowing users to seamlessly pair and switch between two devices at once. Plus, LabShare Mode enables users to share their audio with another Epic Lux headphone user. Additionally, built-in Google Fast Pair enables quick pairing with compatible devices, while Find My functionality allows users to always keep track of the headphones on Android devices.

Users can easily control their media via multiple methods on the Epic Lux Lab Edition. Swipe on the earcup to control media playback, use the dedicated buttons for quick commands, or program the tap capability to further enhance the experience. These controls can be customized directly through the JLab App to personalize the listening experience.

JLab empowers users to personalize their audio experience with the JLab app, offering customizable noise cancelation and Be Aware settings, touch and swipe controls, and sound preferences. Alternatively, users can use the app to choose from preset options like JLab Signature, Balance, or Bass Boost Sound.

The Epic Lux Lab Edition Wireless Headphones are priced at $199.99 and shipping is expected to begin at the end of January 2025.
