Some of our favorite wireless earbuds from brands like Apple, Sennheiser, and Technics offer excellent sound and high-tech features — but they cost a premium. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for the best affordable earbuds, and one of the brands that consistently offers the best value is JLab.
They’re a particular favorite for workouts, thanks to their solid IP (Ingress Protection) rating and sport-inspired features like comfortable ear hooks. One of our favorite workout earbuds, JLab’s Go Air Pop+ Sport, is discounted ahead of Amazon’s Prime Day sale. It’s one of the best deals on headphones and earbuds during the savings event.

JLab Go Air Pop+ True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds
Typically $35, the Air Sport+ earbuds are even more affordable at $28 right now, and they’re an excellent option for working out. While the sound quality isn’t on par with top-of-the-line earbuds, they still pack solid performance for everyday use and workouts. They’re available in black, white and a range of eye-catching colors, including the teal colorway above.
The earbuds are comfortable and secure for workouts, and this set comes with multiple “cloud foam” eartips that stay put in your ears without pushing or pressing too hard. The Go Air Pop+ buds are particularly good for those with small ears, with JLab saying these Bluetooth earbuds are 15% smaller than similar models online.
JLab’s surprisingly comprehensive app, meantime, lets you tinker with EQ presets, so you can find audio settings that work for the type of music you like to listen to. And IPX4 rating protects the earbuds from sweat and dust, adding to their appeal as a workout-forward pair of earbuds.
The earbuds have a solid battery life, too, with nine hours of playtime and an extra 26 hours of life with the charging case. Like most JLab earbuds, the charging case has a somewhat quirky design, with a built-in USB-C charging cable instead of a port. The unusual feature means you don’t need to carry around a charging cable, although you’ll still need to find a USB-C port to plug these into.
These earbuds are also a good option for Android users, thanks to Google Fast Pair for a seamless connection.
Get the JLab earbuds on sale for just $27.99 here. The Go Air Pop+ earbuds currently boast a rating of 4.5-stars (out of five) from reviewers online.
