JLab pitches the JBuds Pro USB-C at Android phone users and PC or Mac owners. The page lists 10mm drivers, an in-line button with microphone and track controls, and a fit system built around custom cush fins plus gel ear tips, which helps the buds stay put on walks. The same model comes in USB-C, Lightning and 3.5mm versions, so a household with mixed devices can buy one design for everyone. JLab lists a 2-year warranty and 30-day returns. We could not confirm the US price: JLab's store showed us international pricing from our location, so the price is marked pending and the value score assumes it stays in the budget range. JLab publishes no water rating or frequency response for this model. If earbuds keep slipping out of your ears, the fins make this one worth a look.
