JLab launches JBuds Mini, a teeny-tiny TWS earbud

September 7, 2023

JLab Audio, an American consumer audio brand launched JBuds Mini, along with a banger launch video focusing on its industry-leading teeny tiny size. In this article let’s discuss what’s so special about the JLab JBuds Mini, its price in Nepal, availability, and more!

JLab JBuds Mini Overview:

Design

As the name suggests, the size of the earbuds is well, mini. Neither the design of the case nor the buds themselves are anything out of the ordinary. The designs are pretty basic with the case taking a capsule shape with a strap. Similar to other offerings from JLab, the entire outer side of the JBud Mini features the company logo. The main highlight of the product is that the entire case measures less than 2 inches in length. The company draws comparisons with its popular GO Air POP, wherein the case (of JBud Mini) is 50% the size (of GO Air POP) and the buds themselves are 30% smaller.

The buds are designed such that, they can be doubled down as a keychain. The JLab JBuds Mini boasts an IP55 rating, meaning it should be easily able to handle any amount of sweating during your exercise session. However, submerging the buds underwater is not recommended. Due to its small stature, the JBuds Mini does not protrude out of your ear. Therefore, it will not hinder you when doing your jumping jacks or lying on the bed with the buds on.

On top of that, the JBuds Mini weighs a mere 3.30 grams, thus this lightweight unit should easily blend into your ear. Despite the product being designed with people with small ears in mind, JLab has not forgotten about the regular folks. They have included 3 sets of silicone gel tips for you to find the size of your choice. These earbuds are available in wide five color options: Plain ol’ black, Aqua Teal, Mint Green, Pink, and Sage Grey.

Features

Even though the company has cut the size of the device, they don’t seem to have cut major corners in terms of features. The JBuds mini features a 6-millimetre dynamic driver, which isn’t impressive per se. But, this is capable of delivering an output of up to 98 dB (±3dB). Given the driver size, the JBuds Mini might not be able to deliver the most powerful bass out there. This seems to be the only trade-off with the products as every other feature seems to be very impressive.

The JBuds Mini comes with Bluetooth 5.3 along with Bluetooth Multipoint. This means that you can connect your earbuds to two devices at the same time. You could be listening to your favorite songs from your laptop and seamlessly receive calls from your phone. These earbuds also feature Google Fast Pair, giving you an effortless pairing experience with supported Android devices.

This, however, does not mean that you cannot connect with other devices. It just takes a few more steps than on a supported Android device. The MEMS microphone of the JBuds Mini provides you with an ANC feature to make clearer calls. JBuds Mini also has a “Be Aware Mode”, which is just a fancy term for turning off the ANC to let in the surrounding sound for your safety.

JBuds Mini also has a companion JLab App, wherein you can indulge yourself with customization.

Battery Life

Powering up the JBuds Mini earbuds is a 35 mAh battery, whereas the case gets 250 mAh of juice. With this, the earbuds can provide you with over 5.5 hours of playback time. The number jumps to over 20 hours when combined with the casing. JLab mentions that the charging time of the case is 2 hours despite featuring a USB Type-C. This would mean that the unit sadly does not support fast charging.
