![]() ![]() However, the sealed design helps to block out noise, and you can keep one ear open since either earbud can work independently. Unfortunately, these earbuds don’t have active noise cancellation or a hear-through mode. While the touch-based controls are a nice feature, their responsiveness can be inconsistent. ![]() Beyond those presets, there are no advanced EQ adjustments offered in the JLab app. All three of the preset EQ settings have some type of flaw: One boosts treble, one boosts bass, and the last falls somewhere in the middle (though the bass is still boomy). The sound quality is decent but not balanced enough to appeal to audiophiles. This set also has an eight-hour battery life, and the charging case holds an extra 24 hours worth of power-though it’s a little bit larger than we’d prefer. They have a high dust- and water-resistance rating and comfortable, over-ear hooks for added stability. The JLab Go Air Sport true wireless earbuds are the best under-$50 pair for indoor and outdoor workouts, as well as running. Unlike our other picks, the Quarks set doesn’t include any sweat or waterproof rating, so we don’t recommend them for working out. (An even cheaper version is available without the remote/mic.) The microphone is a basic analog mic, but it delivered clear-sounding voices. The three-button remote and mic on the cable will control music playback and volume on most devices. The sound quality can’t match that of our favorite (and much pricier) wired earbud picks, but the Quarks pair performs so well for so little money that it’s difficult to complain about much of anything. The Quarks pair has clear, crisp highs and a broader soundstage than anything we’ve heard under 20 bucks. If you’re accustomed to the sound of similarly priced earbuds available at drugstores and truck stops, prepare to have your socks knocked off. For around $15, this pair feels substantially built, has a three-button remote and mic on the cable, and delivers sound quality on a par with earbuds that cost twice as much. As most companies pivot to making wireless models, the Moondrop Quarks earbuds feel a little like spotting an endangered species in the wild. Nowadays, it’s challenging to find affordable wired earbuds that sound good, let alone that include a microphone. ![]()
