JLab Epic Pods ANC Review: A Battery Beast if There Ever Was One
"Everyone's priorities are a little different in the wireless earbuds world, but the core tenets typically remain the same: you probably want a pair that sounds good, looks decent, and has features like active noise cancellation (ANC). And you probably want a pair with a logical amount of battery life, too. In fact, maybe you want a pair with an illogical battery life. One that has so much battery that it's almost stupid. If that's what you want, JLab's $100 Epic Pods ANC"
"The company advertises 13 hours of battery life outside the case, with ANC turned on. Turn ANC off, and you'll get an impressive 16 hours of battery life from the wireless earbuds. For the record, I don't think that's a champion-level figure, even if it's a lot. The Audio-Technica ATH-CKS50TW from 2022 advertise 15 hours with ANC enabled, which beats the Epic Pods ANC just slightly."
The wireless earbuds market is crowded, making many models redundant and purchase decisions difficult. Typical priorities include sound quality, appearance, ANC, and reasonable battery life. JLab Epic Pods ANC cost $100 and emphasize extreme battery life and decent sound. The earbuds advertise 13 hours per charge with ANC on and 16 hours with ANC off, and the charging case increases total runtime to about 50 hours with ANC on or up to 60 hours with ANC off. The Audio-Technica ATH-CKS50TW lists 15 hours with ANC enabled, slightly exceeding the Epic Pods on that metric. Short-term testing shows the earbuds maintaining nearly full battery after several hours of use.
