JLab Audio Studio Pro On-Ear Headphones

If you're graduating from ear buds or what you might call "semi headphones" they'll do the trick,but don't expect a pair of super duper headphones.They're not.They're good,and they do what they're designed to...introduce you to the world of high quality sound,comfort and noise cancellation.I like them because they're quality headphones,but they're light.And I like the non tangle thick braided cord.No doubt some people will like the mike for their cell phone on it,too.So I highly reccomend them as a starting pair...good sound and sound cancellation and that's about it...but if you're already into the advanced part...20 decibel of base over here and 30 of treble over there,and all that stuff,look somewhere else. I'm Laughing at myself.I planned to fix the headphones I had,because they werent all that good,but I liked that unlike hifi headphones, you didnt have to take them off to hear people or what was going on around you.Frustrated,I found that I still have 3 big fat hifi jacks from the 60s 70sand mid 80s but not even 1 complete set for a regular earphone jack.New phones were in order.,but I'm glad that happened.

I bought these to pack for the return to a hybrid work schedule, now accommodating the digital phone/Zoom setup we have. Previously, my in-office headphones were an inexpensive set of around-ear Sennheisers so I could muffle background noise and enjoy a bit of music between calls on the desk phone. Now I need something that has a mic for incoming calls, and the Senns didn't have that option. The (free-to-me) headset provided by work is an inexpensive thing with flat pads that cause pain within minutes, so my search criteria included a pretty low price point; I'm not willing to spend half a Benjamin or more on a gaming headset when I'm not a gamer. I haven't tested out sound or mic features, but as far as the fit goes, these are good - they cover my ears completely, no pinching or crushing, and are very lightweight. If it turns out they don't work out for sound or mic, I'll update my review (and apologize to clients for rehashing a Verizon "can you hear me now?" commercial). For size purposes, I have a larger head (large for a lady, probably average for a man, give or take) and often wear blue light blockers while I work; this fits comfortably with all of that in mind. Added bonus is that they fold so they'll take up less space in my computer bag with everything else I need to lug to and from the office several days a week. Give it a try if you're in a similar boat.

I got these in today, generally I was between these and Oneodio A71 after looking up whatever I could gather on reviews. I flipped a coin and these won. First off, the sound quality was surprisingly good ..don't expect some sort of super boosted bass or audiophile grade nuetral, these are pretty well balanced in all ranges and leans more towards a consumer neutral/flat with a slight bump in the bass. Hi hats on drums are pretty clear and defined, kick and snare drums have a tight, punchy tone but it's not overpowering ..I would know I have a drum set and other instruments to base that off of. The highs in vocals in some tracks were well produced and pushed forward so they don't blend in with everything else. Sibilance was pretty decent, some T's and S's were a little sharp from time to time but it wasn't ear grating or piercing more than my ears were not used to that much definition being pulled up, in an EQ you can pull these down a little to not be as sharp but out of the box it's not bad. Guitars cut through well and bass is subtle yet defined enough where you know where it's placed and hear clear notes. Imaging is pretty decent (not the best but pretty good coming from this price range). Soundstage and separation is okay. Though I will say the stereo imaging is not the best i've ever heard (yes, these do run in stereo ..with a slight caveat), sometimes I could swear it's like the headphones were faintly working in mono with some things. For example I watched a few ASMR videos to test the left and right stereo imaging and sometimes the person would do a trigger on one ear and if I removed that cup I could still faintly hear it on the other ear that wasn't getting the trigger treatment, though each side was louder than the other when it was being triggered. Overall their is spacial movement ..enough where you can tell these run in stereo but don't expect Dolby level surround sound. Playing games like Legend of Zelda: Tears of the kingdom, sounds were pretty decent. but, obviously due to the flatter sound profile it's not exactly as emersive as it would be with a proper set of entertainment based headphones that have something like Dolby surround sound. That said, you can tell how well detailed sound design is in the game. So it is usable. On the other hand with FPS games, you might want to pay a little more attention to spacial sounds like enemies close by, the stereo imaging having a mono like effect takes some getting used to. But once you figure out how the sound balances itself from one ear to the other you should be fine. Build quality is pretty decent and light though some parts do reflect the price a bit, I wear glasses and these have been pretty comfortable so far with no forceful pinching or soreness. The plastic on the cups isn't cheap feeling plastic, but it's not premium feeling either. The headphones clamp with a comfortable amount of pressure and the cups foam pieces are decently comfortable though not plush, the pleather isn't the softest but it's decently comfortable, could get better after a bit of wear to breaking in. The headband seems to be made with this thin flexible metal band sandwiched between this cheap styrene-like foam. It sits comfortably on the head and is pretty airy in weight, making the headphones comfortable for long hours of use. The metal adjustment slides on the cups are a little on the thin side but they're not super bendy like one would think (I wouldn't go throwing these around though since it might bend). No rotating hinges which kind of sucks. There's a flat wire on each side that runs out through the folding hinges and into a opening on the ear cups, personally I would've liked if they had they made that a soft round cable or braided than a flat one. Passive/ambient noise isolation is pretty good, it's not ANC but it blocks out a good amount of outer noises like low rumbles and even highers pitched noises, my dog barking in the other room was muffled and was barely even noticeable at higher volumes. These are marketed as a consumer studio headphones rather than a full on studio headphones. (This is where my nit-picky gripes come in.) They label it as "Studio Pro" and as most of us know, a majority of studio headphones have a detachable trrs aux connection on one ear and a 1/4 input connection on the other ear, along with 90° rotating hinges. If Jlab would ever get into it, it'd be nice to see a more premium analog Studio Pro (wired) (no Bluetooth) with 40mm stereo drivers, preferably with one side being detachable trrs aux and the other side having a port for 1/4 connection, maybe have the aux be in-line braided and the 1/4 be a braided coiled cable with straight to straight ends. Have the ear cup design be oval rather than tear drop shaped to accommodate for more natural open frequencies to bounce around the ear. Make the adjustable metal slide pieces just a tad bit thicker and set them out a bit to add pivot/rotation on the hinges, it'd make the set feel a bit more solid and premium while making them flexible. Or I'd say make something like the OneOdio A71 as reference ..but a Jlab version. They pretty much already have what it takes to make this model Hi-Res too, given the similar specs I'm seeing around on other brands marketed towards entree level audiophile grade over-ears. The driver tunings are pretty decently close to producing a high quality neutral. Overall: I'm pretty happy with this pair. If they broke I'd replace them with the same ones ..or I'd wait for an upgraded wired version. (Kind of wish companies weren't so hung up on wireless being the end all be all of audio, analog is still the leading connection for quality audio)

Good price and great quality.

When I received my hearing aids, I needed to switch to over-the-ear headphones. My husband chose this pair, and I chose a gaming pair, which I prefer personally. These headphones have decent sound quality, are comfortable (my inability to wear them for more 20 minutes is not the fault of the headphones, they're like pillows), and adjustable. However, when I can hear ALL of my husband's loud sneezing and my dog's barking, it's a big nay nay on the noise cancellation rating. Still, I like this pair and I'm glad to have two. I would recommend these for what they are.

These headphones are super light and so comfortable with how they shape to your ears. Unlike other over-the-ear headphones, these do not squish your ears to your head, something that has caused me some ear pain with many other over-the-ear headphones. The lightweight also doesn't put any pressure on top of your head and fit as smoothly as one's own glass's do. I may have gotten up once forgetting they were even on. The sound is amazing and crisp and sound-canceling is very nice but not enough to completely block out all sounds. but for me, this is good. It still allows me to still be aware of say, my roommate coming to the door to ask me something, or something falling in the living room. It may be very quiet and I need to remove the headphones to make out what they're saying, but at least no one can walk up to me to scare the bejeebus out of me due to not being able to hear them. But it also lets me focus on what I'm listening to without the day-to-day sounds slipping in. I would like to note there seems to be some misunderstanding about the 'Tangle Free' label this has, as seen in another review. Tangle-Free means you can't KNOT the cord. The way it's designed if you were to try and tie a knot into it the cable won't allow it, the knot will always stay loose enough to just pull apart unlike in normal cords where if a knot were to form and got pulled tight, yeah good luck with that. So if you carry these headphones around with you in a book bag or whatnot, even if the cord managed to get tied around its self the cord won't become a knotted mess. TWISTING of the cable that makes little curly-cues and hoops are not the cord being 'tangled'. Seeing your cord forming little curls is caused by twisting or rotating of the cord, and every single cable, or heck object out there that has one end attached to a stationary object and the other to be free-handed will twist as you maneuver the one end. The fix is simple, just unplug the cord, or let the free end (like the headphones for these) free hang and allow the cord to untwist. Even my cellphone charging cable twists as I handle the phone, putting it down, picking it up, slowly adding twists into the cable. Game controllers can do the same thing. Even the mouse to my laptop will twist.

so far i have had it for a few weeks and it works great, yeah there is no music control but i have my watch to do it anyways. it works around the ear without putting any pressure on so there is no pain in it. im constantly wearing it because i like NOT hearing conversations of others when i go outside. i dont look at stuff technically since i know nothing about it but the music seems great, not as loud since its not DIRECTLY into your ear but that's the reason why i got it. you dont hear much out of the headphones depending how loud your environment might be.

Have the $20 version of "on-ear" style earphones which have great sound quality considering the low price point. These "over-ear" style use the same 40mm drivers as the cheaper style, so figured I'd try and 'upgrade'.. For $10 more these over-ear should be comfier AND provide similar sound quality right?? NOT SO. Sound quality on these is utter GARBAGE!! No bass, crap mid, and overall distortion that is not present in the lower spec $20 on-ear style. Save your money. Don't buy these! JLab do better, these were a complete let down. Threw away box so going to gift them away, otherwise would surely return. Have been a fan of the Jlab cheapies and really thought this style would deliver..Don't make the same mistake. And sure the over ear fit is nicer, but any benefits of it are negated by crap sound. Not worth it.

Ho acquistato queste JLab Studio Pro cuffie over-ear cablate cercando un paio di cuffie semplici ed economiche per uso quotidiano, e devo dire che nel complesso mi hanno soddisfatto. La prima cosa che ho notato è il comfort: i padiglioni sono molto morbidi e avvolgono bene l’orecchio, quindi si riescono a tenere anche per diverse ore senza fastidi. Anche l’archetto è leggero e non stringe troppo. Dal punto di vista audio, il suono è buono per la fascia di prezzo: abbastanza bilanciato, con bassi presenti ma non troppo invadenti. Non sono cuffie “da audiofili”, ma per musica, video e chiamate fanno più che bene. I driver da 40mm garantiscono una resa pulita e sufficiente per un uso quotidiano (). Il cavo è lungo e non si aggroviglia facilmente, cosa che ho apprezzato parecchio nell’uso pratico. Inoltre, il fatto che siano cablate le rende affidabili (niente problemi di batteria o connessione). Se devo trovare un difetto, direi che l’isolamento acustico non è eccezionale e i materiali sono abbastanza semplici, quindi danno un po’ la sensazione di prodotto “entry level”. In sintesi: ottime cuffie se cerchi qualcosa di comodo, economico e funzionale. Perfette per casa, studio o lavoro leggero, meno indicate se cerchi qualità audio elevata o isolamento totale. Rapporto qualità/prezzo davvero buono.

Broke within months. Only one side works. Pressing on the top of the arch over the head would allow it to work but not anymore.

Heb deze over-het-oor hoofdtelefoon gekocht zonder al te hoge verwachtingen gekocht. Was vrij verras door het goede geluidskwaliteit en vooral het comfort van het artikel. Het zit gewoon lekker! Kopen maar hoor!

Ça fait maintenant un an que j'ai et que j'utilise quotidiennement ce casque et j'en suis très contente. Il est confortable (même si je le porte plusieurs heures à la suite je n'ai pas mal aux oreilles, chose rare pour moi qui ai d'habitude trop vite mal quand je porte un casque) et assez solide (tombé deux trois fois sans conséquence), le son est vraiment pas mal du tout pour un casque 1er prix, son seul défaut pour moi est que le fil est un peu trop court. Il coûtait 18,11€ quand je l'ai acheté début avril 2025 et je lui trouve un très bon rapport qualité-prix, alors à 10,80€, prix actuel, n'hésitez pas !

Everyone in my family uses these. They’re comfortable over the ear, have good sound, and don’t squish the head. They’re constructed in a way that lets them move instead of being a solid piece, which is great for my kids. They fit the head of our young slender teen as well as a solid 54-year-old man. We all love them.
