I tested these $36 earbuds and now every other pair of budget earbuds are ruined for me

The jlab go pods anc earbuds in lilac with a lilac charging case and built in usb-c cable against a blue background on a marble stand.

I’m going to start this nice and simple: the JLab Go Pods ANC earbuds are, hands down, the best earbuds you can get at this price. There’s no doubt in my mind.

The Go Pods ANC may be just $36/£29, but they perform like a pair of $99 earbuds. I know that doesn’t sound like a massive deal, but be assured that most sub-$40 earbuds sound like… well, they sound like garbage.
