JLab is poised to release the JBuds Mini ANC in March 2026, retailing at $39.99. The company claims these are the world's smallest earbuds featuring active noise cancellation, with dimensions measuring just 19x21x14mm. This new model builds upon the success of its predecessor, introducing ANC and Spatial Audio alongside features like Bluetooth multi-point pairing and a 10-band EQ.
The audio quality of the JBuds Mini ANC has been described as surprisingly good, offering detailed sound that belies their low cost. While the bass can be a bit boomy and the treble slightly harsh at times, the overall sonic performance is considered excellent for the price. The earbuds offer a stable and comfortable fit, despite their diminutive size and flexible ear tips.
Active noise cancellation performance is strong, effectively reducing ambient noise in various environments, from city traffic to gym sounds. The accompanying charging case provides an additional 24 hours of battery life, complementing the 6.5 hours from the buds themselves. The case also features a convenient clip for easy portability.
