The JLab JBuds Lux Is the Best Wireless Noise Canceling Headphone Under $50

SoundGuys recently reviewed the JLab JBuds Lux and gave these headphones a glowing review, mentioning that they were one of the best headphones under $100 that they had tested. SoundGuys considered them an excellent at their retail price of $79. At the current price of $49.99, it’s hard to find a better bang for your buck.

The JLab JBuds Lux’s laundry list of premium features include large 40mm drivers, Dolby Atmos compatible Spatial Audio, support for PlayStation Tempest 3D AudioTech and Windows Sonic, hybrid active noise cancellation, a “Be Aware” mode that lets you listen in on your environment, built-in microphone for hands-free calling, up to 70 hours of battery life on a single charge (40 hours with ANC enabled), USB Type-C charging, and Bluetooth Multipoint.

These headphones even look the part. The JLab JBuds Lux are thoughtfully designed for both comfort and performance, with cushy earcups that conform to your ear while also providing an effective seal for passive isolation, a padded headband for prolonged comfort, and a foldable design that makes them easy to tote around.
