JLab Air Icon True – Active Noise Cancelling Headphones

Great Noise Isolate, 3-Equalizer sound preset, Bluetooth 5.0, Easy connect & control, IP55 sweatproof rating, 24 hours playtime (earbuds + charging case)

 

In this JLab Air Icon  True review, we take a deep look at this budget-friendly earbud with such an amazing spec. without any further wait, let’s jump into the review.

Design Earbuds and Charging Case

Like several JLab Earbuds, the design here is very simple and smooth, with plastic earpieces emblazoned with the brand logo. The pill-formed charging case is small enough to adjust in a pocket or pent or coat and has a remarkably short, hardwired charging cable that snaps into a bracket on the bottom side when not in use.

The charging case top flips open, revealing the charging crib for each earpiece. In each package, JLab includes 4 pairs of ear tips – 3 silicone pairs in small, mid, and large, and one in this foam pair. There’re also 2 pairs of optional sleeves calls fins – they are just rings of silicone that fit around the earpiece and when it little for an accurate fit in a few ears.

It has an integrated USB charging wire as we have known, but it is short and if it breaks, the complete case will need to be replaced. Luckily, you can purchase a new case separately if you need it.

On the downside, the lid of the case feels a little plastically and the charging case is a bit bulkier than a few of the other TWS earbuds we have seen so far.

Control and Connectivity

When it comes to connecting via Bluetooth, just open the case and take out both earbuds. The white LED indicator light will flash for a while and the lights stay on. Next, you open the Bluetooth menu in a smartphone and select “Jlab JBuds Air Icon” to connect.

I like one thing that Jlab improved from the old model (JLab JBuds Air) that is you can connect independently with each earbud. This is used dual-connection technology, which a lot useful for me.

The JLab Air Icon True has unremarkable controls, situated on both ears, these 2 buttons feel fairly soft, and to register the using command, you just soft press the earbud. They’ve common earbud controls like pause, play, call management, and track skipping, as well as the cycle of 3 EQs.

Unfortunately, there is no prompt to indicate which preset you are not but there’re voice prompts for pairing battery info when first powered on.

The JLab Air Icon True connects automatically when you open the lid of the case after the first connection. If you keep your mobile close nearby, you would not get any issues, but if you go to another room, you’re likely to get some small issues. It is not a big deal, but it’d be better.

When you put three walls in between, the sound and music stop as is usual for most wireless earphones. When it comes to the wireless codec, they only support the basic ACC and SBC codecs.

For the price tag, that is fine though a few cheap options do come with aptX too.

Sound Performance

The sound performance of the JLab Air icon True is superb. This is likely due to the amazing noise isolation as you are not having much sound leak from your every ear, which allows you to enjoy a complete soundstage.

The sound performance of the JLab Air icon True is superb. This is likely due to the You will also custom three EQs sound setting offering you 3 different EQ profiles to select from on the earbuds themselves. That is right, no application is needed and you can transfer from JLab’s signature bass boot and balanced modes with just a finger tap on your ear.

Sweatproof Wireless Earbuds

At last, they are not perfectly rated for water-resisting. Sweatproof wireless earbuds, though, are rated. They are IP55 waterproofing. T

This means that the JLab Air icon True is made for sweat resistance and light rain, meaning that they are ideal workout buddies.

Plus, the look of the JLab Air icon True and built-in noise isolating tips will assist these earphones to stay in your ear when doing a physical activity like jogging and running.

JLab Air Icon True Review with Final words

After JLab Audio JBuds Air Icon True Review, these are alight for mixed use; they are fairly portable, comfortable, and stable. They do not reduce noise like phone engines and buses by much, but they do a greater job cutting chatter.

Though, these buds are not the best for neutral listening as they’ve overemphasized uneven treble and bass. They also are not very suitable for wire-free gaming as they’ve high latency.
