JLab JBuds Open

The JLab JBuds Open are open-ear wireless headphones that prioritize comfort and an airy soundstage, making them a solid pick for quiet environments. They offer a long 24-hour battery life, Bluetooth 6.0 with multipoint, and USB-C audio for added flexibility, though they lack active noise cancellation and a wired analog option.
