What we like about JLab Audio Studio Wireless ANC

  • Excellent value for the price point
  • Long battery life (rated up to 34+ hours)
  • Effective noise cancellation for consistent background drones (fans, engines)
  • Lightweight and portable with a foldable design
  • Stable Bluetooth connectivity and range
  • Soft 'Cloud Foam' ear cushions provide initial comfort
  • Physical buttons are easy to distinguish by touch

What we don't like about JLab Audio Studio Wireless ANC

  • Uses older Micro-USB charging instead of USB-C
  • Tight clamping force can cause discomfort during long sessions
  • Bass response often decreases noticeably when ANC is active
  • Built-in microphone quality is mediocre for professional calls
  • On-ear design may feel small for users with larger ears
  • Distortion or 'hiss' can be audible when ANC is on without music
  • Included AUX cable is a specialized Micro-USB to 3.5mm cord that is hard to replace

Verdict

The JLab Studio Wireless ANC features 40mm dynamic drivers and Bluetooth 5 connectivity, delivering customizable audio through EQ3 Sound presets (Signature, Balanced, and Bass Boost) without the need for an app. These on-ear headphones offer a notable battery life of 34+ hours, which reduces to 28+ hours when active noise cancellation is engaged, and include a rapid charge feature where 10 minutes of charging provides over 1 hour of playtime. Designed for travel, they utilize a lightweight, foldable frame with ultra-plush Cloud Foam cushions and a faux leather headband for enhanced comfort. Main pros include its affordability, impressive wireless range of up to 30 feet, and the convenience of a 3.5mm AUX cable for wired listening when the battery is low. However, some users have noted cons such as the continued use of an outdated Micro-USB charging port and a potential slight decrease in bass response or overall sound quality when ANC is activated.
