earbuds with different strengths. The Aurvana Trio LS offers a wired connection, which can provide consistent audio quality without latency issues, making them suitable for TV and gaming, but they lack the convenience of wireless use. They have a good microphone and comfort, but don't have the best controls or use during exercise. On the other hand, JLab Go Air Pop earbuds are wireless with very good built-in controls and are sweatproof, making them more exercise-friendly. However, their sound quality is fair, and they may not be the best for calls and meetings or immersive gaming experiences due to their poor scores in those areas. The Go Air Pop also have a longer battery life, both for the earbuds and the charging case, suitable for extended usage and travel, and they come with a wireless charging option. If you value wireless convenience and features for an on-the-go lifestyle, the JLab Go Air Pop may be the better choice, while if you prioritize sound quality for media consumption and a robust build, the Creative Labs Aurvana Trio LS could be more appropriate.

Mark Sparrow | December 2021
"These super-affordable wired earphones are some of the best I’ve heard in recent years. For the money they are unbeatable. And before you say: “I can’t use them as there’s no headphone jack on my smartphone!”, they can work with jack-less phones by using the brilliant little Creative SXFI headphone amp which plugs into a smartphone’s USB or Lightning port (with an adapter) and produces the most sublime audio output."

"The JLab GO Air POP is a great option for anyone on a tight budget. This pair of true wireless earbuds checks all the boxes for earbud essentials, and performs pretty well in most areas. The microphone isn't great, but that's to be expected for something this inexpensive."
