The JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition Wireless Headphones have been the latest cans on my ears the last few weeks and being a massive headphone fan I could not wait to test these out.
The presentation to begin with was excellent and first impressions last and one like this could leave slight hints at others as to how it is done.
Inside the box we also get a carry case which is excellent as these fold up and will keep them safe when not in use, also we get a wireless charger, yes you seen that correctly a wireless charger for you headphones which for me is great as I have adopted it all over the house and office so no more cables for me here but of course you can charge the old fashioned way if you like
The build quality is also excellent with a nice matt finish and metal frame which does not squeak or make noise when extending the arms each side and feels really premium all round.
You have the usual i/os and one button and the rest is gestures#swipes giving them a clean look with no buttons protruding from the sides and this works well with the one button being an MFB (multi-function button) quite common to day to have less buttons in general.
Moreover all these can be controlled in the JLab app which is excellent and being my first time to try it I was impressed and the level of control you get here compared others and no fixed controls which are annoying and if you purchase these do spend time on the app and go through it we have done so in the video review down below and you can also get an idea in the screenshots provided.
There is 32 mm high-fidelity dynamic drivers on deck here and these do pack a serious punch and from testing many headphones during and year these are the best so far to date I have tried, the ANC to being with is excellent and impressive with stay aware also present but do delve into ANC and see for yourself how good it is.
The audio is what you want to know about and it is glorious you also have Spatial Audio here which if you have not tested before do so and this is also now coming the norm in headphones and earbuds like ANC was when it first came out it just takes things to a new level for the audio experience.
Highs lows and mids all great all genres tested where excellent with my test tracks and with the JLab app you only enhance the full audio experience and it is one to sit back and enjoy and forget about the world outside, no lag latency no tinny sound infact all round just perfect in my book and with the EQ settings it just gets better so do check them all out. Calls also for the few I took were excellent and also
used on teams and other sites like these for chats and no issues noted either end, also you have multipoint technology on board which like many today use their laptop and phone its another great feature to have and works flawlessly.
The headphones are also comfortable to wear all day and if you need a charge do no forget the wireless charging puck you get and besides that they have up to 90 hrs battery life which is great which will vary on your personal settings and if you are in the market for new headphones these should be on the list right now and you will thank me later. See the video review below for more.
Features of the JLab Lux Edition
JLab’s Best Sounding Over-ear Headphone Ever
The Epic Lux Lab Edition’s sound is powered by 32mm high-fidelity custom dynamic drivers that provide Hi-Res audio and a frequency response of 20 – 20 kHz for users to enjoy their music in stunning clarity. Enhanced by JLab’s Lab Spatial Audio algorithm with head-tracking technology, the Epic Lux Lab Edition creates an immersive 360-degree sound experience, resulting in highly dynamic and lifelike music and content experiences.
The First JLab Headphone with Adaptive Noise Cancelation
The Epic Lux Lab edition is the first from JLab to offer Adaptive Active Noise Cancelling (AANC) technology that filters through various noise frequencies in real-time and Artificial intelligence (AI) automatically reduces environmental sounds up to 35 DB. Switch to Be Aware mode to hear outside sounds when desired, which is ideal for taking phone calls that feel natural or listening to music or podcasts in situations that require heightened awareness.
Enjoy Clear Calls with Environmental Noise Cancellation
Featuring 4-cutting-edge beamforming microphones (two on each earcup), combined with JLab’s advanced environmental noise cancelling algorithm, the Epic Lux Lab Edition offers crystal clear and uninterrupted communication during phone calls. Whether you’re on a call during a busy commute or speaking outside on a windy day, the microphones ensure professional and personal calls are handled with ease, no matter the environment.
Long Playtime and Convenient Charging
Boasting over 60+ hours (ANC on) to 90+ hours (ANC off) of playtime on a single charge, the Epic Lux Lab Edition is ideal for all-day and all-week use. Unique to this model, the headphones support wireless charging and include a magnetic wireless charging pad, offering 5 hours of playtime from just 5 minutes of charging. Additionally, the built-in USB-C port provides a quick and convenient option for traditional charging.
Unmatched Comfort, Connectivity, and Control
Crafted for comfort, the headphones feature Cloud Foam™ ear cups and padded headband, ensuring that they remain comfortable even during extended wear. Their foldable design maximises portability, making them perfect for travel, fitness, and work.
The Epic Lux Lab Edition prioritises connectivity with advanced Bluetooth Multipoint Technology, allowing users to seamlessly pair and switch between two devices at once. Plus, LabShare Mode enables users to share their audio with another LUX headphone user. Additionally, built-in Google Fast Pair enables quick pairing with compatible devices, while Find My functionality allows users to always keep track of the headphones on Android devices.
Easily control your media via multiple methods on the Epic Lux Lab Edition. Swipe on the earcup to control media playback, use the dedicated buttons for quick commands, or program the tap capability to further enhance your experience. Customise these controls directly through the JLab App to personalise your listening experience.
