Verdict

The JLab Audio Supra is a budget-friendly on-ear headphone featuring 40mm neodymium drivers that deliver a frequency response range of 20Hz to 20kHz. It is characterized by its lightweight, foldable design and ultra-plush Cloud Foam cushions for long-term comfort. Main pros include a removable tangle-free flat cable with an in-line microphone for calls and a highly portable build at an affordable price point. However, some users have noted that the sound output could benefit from more volume and that the headphones lack advanced features like active noise cancellation or an IP rating for water resistance.
