JLab Go Air Pop Lilac
Score: 52/100
Apple EarPods Headphones
Score: 73/100Rankings
Apple EarPods with a USB-C plug are wired earbuds that deliver comfortable fit, high-quality audio and an in-line remote with microphone. They lack wireless connectivity and ANC, but provide a modern connector for USB-C devices.
The JLab GO Air Pop delivers impressive total battery life, a lightweight fit, IPX4 resistance and dual-connect capability at a budget price. It lacks USB-C charging, an app, and active noise cancellation, and its latency is high for gaming or video.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers acknowledge the GO Air Pop as a value-focused earbud with standout battery life, solid audio, and a compact fit, but they point out its outdated USB-A charging and lack of an app or ANC, recommending the newer GO Pop+ for those features.
Everyday users praise the long battery life, comfortable small-ear fit, decent sound for the price, and the handy EQ toggle, while repeatedly complaining about the USB-A cable, missing app, overly sensitive touch controls, and the absence of active noise cancellation.
