JLabNeon Folding On-Ear Headphones, Black, Wired Headphones, Tangle Free Cord, Noise Isolation, 40mm Neodymium Drivers, C3 Sound (Crystal Clear Clarity)

I've had these for a month, plenty of time to get to know them. I have named them Clementine (left) and Clearance (right). These were purchased over similar models because of solid reviews, and also because they're just a bit different looking among a throng of black or "rose gold" or white ear apparatuses, and that slight difference appeals to me. One of their oddities, along with their cool assembly of colors, is that the cord dislodges itself from the left-hand side, not the traditional right-hand side as I've seen in similar models. The cord also has a mute button, which is nice if you want to be just a smidgen rude but not entirely rude to anyone who dares talk to you while you've got your tunes, your games, or your work. You can be just a little bit rude and still leave your headphones perfectly in place while you're bombarded by ridiculous inquiries. Another press of the mute button and, viola, you are back to your own little world.They're a bit nostalgic, in a way, reminding me of the original Sony headphones that I first got in the seventh grade, and actually still own, as they still work, though the ear pads have fallen apart and now leave dark, leatherette specks everywhere, so that I look as though I'm covered in fleas (I'm not—that I know of). These headphones are simple like the Sonys, have the same sort of design, but the cord is much shorter. I'd recommend getting an extension, a three-foot extender would be adequate. I purchased the twelve-footer because I'm a blacksheep overachiever. If you have another external jack someplace, like on your external speakers, you might not mind the shorter cord if you're at a desktop computer, like I usually am. And obviously this shorter cord works fine if it's being plugged into a portable device. The jack is 3.5 mm standard, but it's not a flat jack like a lot of headphones (including my old Sonys), but has a 90-degree angled jack, more like what you'd see on a DC adapter plug. This is not a flaw by any means, it's just a bit odd. Again, probably part of their overall wish to be a bit more dynamic in the area of design. Also, with all my chitchat about the cord, you should probably realize by now that these are not wireless headphones. You don't have to charge them. You don't have to worry about battery life. It's kind of nice that way. Got a long flight to Fiji and need headphones for napping? Get these. Going on a summer road trip with the family and need to block out the constant whining and whinging of your siblings? Get these.If you're the type that likes good sound, these really can't be beat for what they are: smaller, lighter in weight, and comfortable, with enough boom-boom bass that your lobes vibrate, and not so pitchy on the treble. You can listen to your deep-bass tracks, like Koan, and then move on to your higher-pitch pop tunes, like Madonna (who always did like a sharper, clearer sound in her music)—and then everything between. You know, your deep-bass pop tunes, so that would be Röyksopp and Pet Shop Boys remixes, yes-no? These headphones will give them the honor of good sound that they richly deserve.Also, getting into the package to exhume these headphones from their plastic confines was truly an undertaking. (Documentary coming soon.) Well worth it, though. I'd buy these again—probably in a different color. I'm perfectly happy with the gray and purple pair I purchased, goes with my Scottish family tartan, but I'd probably choose something bright and more exuberant next time to compliment my Polish side.Happy listening, all!Edit... stardate 020820... Adding two facts that I've discovered.Fact one: When handling these headphones, they're small enough to feel a bit on the dainty side, but you also are empowered with the sensation that they are tough little buggers. These would be suitable for people who are a bit klutzy, can break things easily because they don't know their own strength, and also for tweens and teenagers who aren't too picky about owning name-brand goods like all the so-called "cool kids."Fact two: I can wear them for many hours straight without my ears hurting. And please keep in mind that I have an abnormally large head (part of this is hair). I can wear these 3-4 hours comfortably. I find myself wearing them a lot. I'm a writer (what? I know, you're shocked) and I'm at the computer a lot, and sometimes the only way I can write massive amounts in one day is to wear headphones. These work great and I can space out into my fictional lands where all the music is bassy and all the trees are leafy.

Hard to beat for the price and intended purpose. Nice overall sound with solid bass, good mids and highs---quite pleasant from a lower power source--I used a Surfans F20 as the sound source.This is a an impressively well built set of phones with solid adjustment from the u-shaped can adjusters---they stick out a bit but that is the way the are built---fit good on smaller heads.Unfortunately, they aren't great amplified. However, if you have an inexpensive MP3 player, these might be shockingly good at that level.Strongly recommended for the low power user. I will return as I intend to run an external amp.

Great Quality, But Durability Could Be BetterI bought these headphones for my 11-year-old to use with his school laptop, and overall, I was really happy with the purchase. They fit well, were comfortable to wear for long periods, and had good sound quality—perfect for schoolwork and occasional use at home.Unfortunately, they only lasted about half the school year. To be fair, my now 11-year-old can be pretty rough with his stuff. He didn’t use a case and often just tossed them into his backpack with books and other items. So while the durability wasn’t ideal, I still feel like the overall quality was solid for the price.In fact, I ended up purchasing another pair from the same brand to replace them. If your child is a bit more careful with their things, these headphones are a great choice!

I bought these headphones after the more expensive ones I used to have died. These were more affordable and work great for Teams meetings, being wired I do not have to worry about Bluetooth issues.

I recently purchased the JLab Neon Wireless On-Ear Headphones in Graphite/Green for my 10-year-old, who will be using them for homeschool in the fall of 2024, and I couldn't be happier with my choice!Excellent Sound Quality:The sound quality is outstanding. With the 40mm neodymium drivers and C3 Sound (Crystal Clear Clarity) technology, the audio is crisp and clear. My child can hear lessons and videos perfectly, which is crucial for effective learning.Comfort and Fit:The headphones are very comfortable, even for extended periods of use. The on-ear design is cushioned and fits snugly without causing any discomfort. This is particularly important since my child will be wearing them for several hours each day during homeschool sessions.Long Battery Life:With a 13-hour Bluetooth playtime, these headphones have an impressive battery life. They easily last through a full day of homeschooling without needing a recharge, which is a huge convenience. It’s one less thing to worry about in our daily routine.Noise Isolation:The noise isolation feature is excellent, helping my child stay focused by blocking out background noise. This is particularly beneficial in a busy household, allowing for better concentration on schoolwork.Ease of Use:The wireless functionality is a big plus. My child finds them very easy to use, and the Bluetooth connection is stable and straightforward to set up. The controls are intuitive, making it simple to adjust volume and playback without any hassle.Durable and Stylish:The build quality is durable, and the graphite/green color combination is stylish and appealing to my 10-year-old. They look great and seem sturdy enough to withstand daily use by an active child.Value for Money:Considering the high quality, excellent sound, and long battery life, these headphones are a fantastic value for the price.
