Customer Review: Bigger than my last JBuds; sound good
Summary: 5 Stars
The sound is different than my last JBuds (the previous model to these.) I had to fiddle with the equalizer a bit to get it sounding right. Maybe I had to overcompensate for the previous ones, or maybe these need the overcompensating... hard to tell. Either way, if you ever think that headphones are supposed to sound great out of the box without touching the EQ, you're wrong. (Now, if you mess around with the EQ and still can't get them to sound good, it's probably the headphones.)
The barrel of the headphones is about twice as long as the previous model JBuds. They kind of hit my ears and feel a bit bulky, but I have gotten used to them quite easily. If the Apple ear buds bug you, or you find that most brands are 'too big', them these are definitely not for you.
These are also about 3-4 inches shorter than the previous model, measured side by side from jack to ear bud. But the plastic molded splitter is much farther down the cord than the previous model.
They have an "L" and "R" printed on the outside of the earbud for those that care to know.
Another difference from the previous model is that the jack is not a 90-degree angle one, but comes straight out.
The bass is also a bit deeper on these. Not necessarily better, but more pronounced and deeper. There is a slight tin-can feel (due to the extra-long barrel shape) to the bass and high end, but I just used the EQ to help that.
Customer Review: Great product AND customer service
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm one of those very wired people who walk around with headphones on all the time, and as such, I've gone through a LOT of different headphones/earphones/earbuds. I find earbuds to be the most comfortable for prolonged use, and I found these on Amazon for a great price, so I decided to try them out.
These buds are GREAT. They're super comfortable -- I've even fallen asleep several times, while wearing these -- and you just can't beat the sound quality. I used to switch to Coby Sport Isolation Stereo Earphones CVE93 (Black) for running, and the differences in sound quality would throw me off so much that I stopped switching.
And then one day the inevitable happened: the J2's stopped working properly, with the sound erratically going in and out, usually in one ear or the other. Since the Amazon purchase came with a 1-year warranty, I emailed the JLab customer service, and my replacement pair arrived in the mail 4 days later! What's more, the replacement comes with its own 1-year warranty, so if I have problems again, I can simply contact JLab again for help.
All in all, this product is awesome, totally worth it.

JBuds J2 Premium Hi-FI Noise Isolating Earbuds (Black/Chrome Silver)
I read reviews on almost every purchase I make! Unlike Consumer Reports magazine, I appreciate the (Objective) opinions 'real' consumers write. (Thank you, long time owners who write concise reviews)!
I highly recommend the JBUD J2 ear buds: I have, less than, perfect hearing. I bought a set 8 months ago and broke them in as recommended. They have met, or exceeded, my expectations in construction quality, sound insulation & quality, comfort & value. I'm impressed with the ability for me to enjoy laptop gaming, music, etc. while my wife enjoys her favorite TV programs, in the same room! The sound balance is awesome, not too much bass, or treble. The cord isn't so long that I get tangled-up with it. I hear what I want to hear, with minimal background (outside) noise. I selected the tips that best fit my ears and can wear them for hours without having ear pain.
I just ordered another set for my i-pod and felt compelled to write 'my own' objective review.
Customer Review: Great headphones
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased a pair of these headphones early in December and have been extremely pleased with them. Initially I was a little unhappy with them as they sounded almost muted. After doing a bit of research I read that these really needed to be broken in to get the best out of them. After allowing them to break in for a few weeks(I played regular music, as well as putting pink/white noise on loop back for several days) they have gotten much much better. The high end has lots of air without sounding harsh, the mids sound clean and without coloring, and the bass is full and handles transients well.
A note to those who listen to bass heavy music. These do NOT have a ton of bass output. It's satisfying and well balanced for all of the music I listen to, but there are many other headphones that provide heavier bass if that is your thing.
If you are looking for a nice sound set of headphones that provide excellent sound quality without tiring your ears out, these are great. The also aren't going to break the bank. I'll buy another set of these without a second thought.
Customer Review: great earbuds for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
After i purchased the Jbuds and the left channel went out on them i contacted customer service on their website. It was the most pleasant return experience I've ever had. I received my replacements in 3 working days and didn't have to pay a penny for shipping. They've worked flawlessly. So I purchased the J2's and I am impressed for the price. They sounded awful when I first plugged them in, but after a 30 or so hour burn in they are spectacular. Of course you can buy better for more money but these are my favorite in this price range($15-$30). I have the V-moda's, a pair of skull candy rasta's, and a few others. I like the J2's sound and fit the best. The heavy wire is nice also. It just seems strong. And I like how the stress points are reinforced. The plug is solid and is easy to grab. They never fall out of my ears, even when sweating. I'm a roofer so they've taken some abuse. But my main praise is of the customer service and that has become the most important thing to me. No product is ever perfect but a company who stands behind theirs will continue to recieve my business.
