What reviewers said

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. Sound leans slightly bass-heavy but remains clear and engaging, while the companion app offers a custom EQ to tailor the audio to your liking. They're a strong value pick, though battery life is shorter than some rivals and call quality has some limitations.

  • 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

Sabbat X11 Mini

The Sabbat X11 Mini offers a lightweight, compact true wireless design with a total battery life of up to 10 hours when including the charging case. It uses dynamic drivers and supports SBC codecs over Bluetooth 4.2, with IPX4 water resistance for basic protection.

  • Pro:Very lightweight at just 5g per earbud
  • Pro:IPX4 water resistance for sweat and light rain
  • Pro:Simple button controls for easy operation
  • Con:Limited to SBC codec and Bluetooth 4.2
