JLab JBuddies Studio 2 Wireless review

JBuddies Studio 2 Wireless is JLab's main kids headphone, aimed at ages 6 and up. The headline is battery: JLab rates it at 65+ hours of wireless playtime with a 3 hour charge, so it can go weeks between charges on school use. A hearing protection switch chooses between 85 dB and 95 dB; JLab positions the higher setting for louder places, which is useful on a train but means a parent should check the switch afterwards. It connects over Bluetooth 5.3 or by USB-C cable, has one MEMS microphone, and Wireless Share mode links two headphones to one source, which JLab suggests for a movie on a plane. Cloud Foam cushions and pinch-free hinges aim at comfort, and the whole headset weighs 150 g. JLab includes a USB-C charging cable but no wall adapter. The US store showed us a converted local price, so the price here is pending.
