Editors praise the DAC and channel separation, noting the clear, studio-like sound, while pointing out the absence of ANC and modest bass.
Users like the clear audio and durability, though some mention overly bright treble and a lack of a proper seal with the supplied tips.
Professional reviewers appreciate the GO POP+ for its impressive battery life, the shift to USB-C, and the inclusion of the JLab app and Google Fast Pair, which bring premium-class features to a sub-$50 price point. The lack of ANC and multipoint is noted but considered acceptable for its price tier.
Everyday users consistently praise the earbud's marathon battery, fast-charging convenience, solid sound and the ability to tweak the sound profile via the app. Complaints focus on the missing ANC, occasional microphone drop-outs, a slippery case and the absence of wireless charging.
