I'm an audiophile, and these $20 earbuds pass my sound quality check
"Some might think noise-canceling is a gimmick and avoid using it on their earbuds. That's a mistake, because noise-canceling technology can make a big difference in earbuds' overall audio quality. Also: These $60 headphones have no business sounding this good for the price (and they're comfy) This is especially true on the low side of things, where bass tends to be dramatically weakened with noise-canceling off. But when ANC is done right, it can turn a mediocre pair of earbuds into something special."
"If you've ever wondered how noise-canceling works, it's simple on the surface, but making it effective can be quite difficult. The technology used in headphones aims to reduce unwanted ambient sounds by generating sound waves that are the exact opposite of the noise. To achieve this, headphones and earbuds use built-in mics and processors to know what noise is necessary and then produce it."
Active noise cancellation (ANC) reduces unwanted ambient sounds by generating inverse sound waves using built-in microphones and processors. ANC can significantly improve earbuds' audio, especially restoring bass that weakens when ANC is off. Users should disable ANC when active outdoors, such as running, to remain aware of traffic and hazards. The JLab Go Pods ANC earbuds require a full charge before first use and pair quickly via Quick Connect with compatible phones. The JLab app provides tuning and enables ANC, which can transform mediocre-sounding earbuds into notably better performers.
