JLab Go Air Pop Lilac
Score: 52/100Rankings
The AFGHOA USB-C earbuds deliver magnetic convenience, a built-in DAC and clear, punchy sound, but lack active ANC and have some compatibility quirks.
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.

Professional reviewers highlight the AFGHOA earbuds for their universal USB-C compatibility, magnetic convenience, premium-feeling case and the built-in DAC that delivers lossless sound without extra adapters. The main editorial caveat is the need to tweak developer settings on some Android phones for microphone use and the absence of active noise cancellation.
Everyday users praise the clear, punchy sound, the magnetic tangle-free design, and the included case, noting the earbuds work well with both iPhone and Android devices. Common complaints revolve around earbuds dropping out during workouts, the mic requiring a developer-option tweak on Samsung phones, cable durability concerns, and the lack of ANC.
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GO Air Pop as a value-focused earbud with standout battery life, solid audio, and a compact fit, but they point out its outdated USB-A charging and lack of an app or ANC, recommending the newer GO Pop+ for those features.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.
“Great sound for the price-bass is punchy and clear.”
“Love the magnetic feature-no more tangled wires.”
“Works perfectly with my iPhone 15 and Samsung S24.”
