JLab Go Air Sport

Affordable ; Sculpted, bass-forward sound signature ; Solid battery life ; Water-resistant build

Case has hardwired (and very short) charging cable ; Finicky on-ear controls

The exercise-friendly JLab Go Air Sport true wireless earbuds offer serious bass depth and solid battery life for just $30.

Punchy sound ; Sturdy and highly secure design ; Great battery life ; Intelligible connectivity ; Unbeatable price

Finicky controls ; Poor-sounding highs ; Inconvenient charging system ; Lack of extra features

The low MSRP means you’ll have to deal with many compromises. These include dull-sounding highs, unreliable controls, and an inconvenient charging system. Spending a few dollars more on the $99 Epic Air Sport ANC gets you more bang for the buck, but...

Light, secure fit ; Pleasing sound for exercise ; Charging cable built into case

Build quality feels a tad cheap ; Touch controls can be hit and miss ; Small set of additional buds included

The JLab Go Air Sport are proof that you don’t have to spend big to get a solid sounding pair of true wireless earbuds. Plus, they stay put and offer strong battery life, too.

32 hours of battery life ; Ear hooks to keep them secure ; 3 preset sound modes

Underwhelming build quality ; No noise cancelling ; Hit-and-miss touch controls

If you need a new pair of cheap headphones for your workouts, the JLab Go Air Sport are well suited to everything from running to weight-lifting because the ear hook keeps them firmly in place. They're not perfect but they are great value for money.

Great value ; Over-ear wing ; Built-in charger ; IP55 resistance rating

Large case ; Flawed touch controls ; No ANC

These are no-frills earbuds for sporty users. They're fantastic in terms of value, but won't wow you when it comes to features — especially if you're used to more up-market offerings.
