JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 review

Epic Sport ANC 3 are JLab's most premium sport earbuds, and the spec sheet reads like a flagship. Each bud uses hybrid dual drivers, and Android phones can stream over LDAC for hi-res audio, with AAC on iPhone. Hybrid noise cancelling comes with three noise control modes, and JLab's app lets you adjust the sound and controls. The IP66 rating covers dust and strong water jets, better than any Beats or Bose pair here. JLab lists over 52 hours of total playtime with the case, the case charges wirelessly or through an integrated USB-C cable, and multipoint keeps a phone and a laptop connected together. A built-in interval timer is a small but useful extra for circuit training. What the page does not give is a per-charge battery figure, and there is no heart rate sensing. The JLab store showed a converted price from our location, so we could not confirm the US price; check it before you buy.
