But the JLab Epic Sport ANC 3 sound good, fit securely and offer impressively long battery life.
In the box, there are three sizes of gel ear tips.
The buds offer Google Fast Pair for faster connectivity with Android devices.
You also can switch the sound mode between ANC and Be Aware.
Otherwise, there are no audio cues to let you know your touches and swipes have registered.
Even better is just to have button controls, like on the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2.
Buttons are much more reliable to use than touch panels, especially if youre wearing gloves during winter workouts.
The latter mode ensures you dont have any audio lag.
You’re also able to set a safe hearing decibel limit.
When enabled, the headphones play a sound to let you know when the time is up.
That proved to be useful for motivation during tough workouts.
The Be Aware mode has its problems during outdoor runs, as I covered above.
If you oughta take calls during your runs, the Epic Sport ANC 3 will make that easy.
Theyre certainly among the best value headphones you might get for sports use and an easy set to recommend.
Meanwhile, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are more comfortable and have better controls.
