Score: 73/100Rankings
The JBL Vibe Beam are true-wireless earbuds delivering deep-bass-focused sound with up to 32 hours of total playback and fast charging. They lack active noise cancellation and have only moderate water-resistance ratings, which may limit heavy-sweat use. Ideal for casual listeners and gym-goers who prioritize bass and battery life.
JLab Go Air Pop+ earbuds provide ultra-budget true-wireless convenience with up to 35 hours of total battery life, IPX4 resistance, and dual-device pairing. Absence of active noise cancellation and a thin sound signature are drawbacks. Best for casual listeners who prioritize endurance and price.

Professional reviewers commend the Vibe Beam for its compact, lightweight design, deep-bass tuning, and impressive 32-hour battery life with fast charging, but they criticize the absence of active noise cancellation and the vague water-resistance rating, which may limit its appeal for heavy-sweat activities.
Everyday users praise the powerful bass, long battery life, quick-charge convenience, comfortable fit, and reliable wireless range, while recurring complaints focus on occasional Bluetooth drop-outs, average call quality in noisy settings, fit looseness during intense exercise, and uncertainty about water-resistance protection.
Professional reviewers praise the Go Air Pop+ for its outstanding battery endurance, clear mids, and feature set that includes dual-device pairing, a companion EQ app, and reliable touch controls-all at a budget price. However, they criticize the earbuds for a hard-edged, limited sound signature, inconsistent bass, sharp or dull treble, poor call quality, and discomfort after extended wear, noting the lack of active noise cancellation as a drawback for noisy environments.
Everyday users appreciate the long battery life, secure fit for workouts, low price, and the ability to tweak sound via the app. Common complaints revolve around ear fatigue after two hours, thin or unbalanced sound, subpar call performance, and the absence of ANC.
