The Epic Pods are earbuds with an AirPods-esque stalk design, and as I’ve already insinuated, they lend some affordability to a few premium features. I was, however, far more interested in the JBuds Open Wireless Headphones, a pair of over-ear cans that allow outside noise in (like the open-back headphones of old). My early impressions of the JLab Open were good. I was very impressed with how well the Open headphones contained noise leakage – it was hard to hear what was playing in another person’s ears, even when close by. Both products are arriving in the UK this year: the JLab Epic Pods go on sale this month, and the Open Wireless Headphones, in October.
