Pro:Effective hybrid active noise cancellation
Pro:Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint support

Con:Bulky and cumbersome charging case
Con:Touch controls can be awkward to use
Con:Call quality is only clear in quiet environments

JLab Go Pods ANC

These budget true wireless earbuds deliver a surprisingly robust feature set for the price, including hybrid active noise cancellation, wireless charging, and multipoint connectivity.

Pro:Excellent value for the price
Pro:Effective hybrid ANC for the cost
Pro:Useful app with custom EQ

Con:Bass-heavy sound may not suit purists
Con:Battery life is below average for the class
Con:Call quality is mediocre in noisy settings
