Bloydek Wireless Earbuds vs JLab Smokin' Buds

The JLab Smokin' Buds are the safer pick for most shoppers. They have a much larger track record, with over 1,700 ratings averaging 4.2, and a 20-hour total battery figure that beats the Bloydek's 4 to 8 hours per earbud. The Bloydek lists newer Bluetooth 5.4, IPX5 water resistance and a claimed -42dB call noise reduction, but its 5-out-of-5 rating comes from only 139 ratings and it carries just a 6-month warranty. JLab's build is lighter at about 41g versus 88g, and its 6mm drivers are tuned for full, bass-forward sound.

• Choose the Bloydek Wireless Earbuds if you want the newer Bluetooth 5.4 connection, an explicit IPX5 sweat rating and a call-focused microphone, and you are comfortable with a short 6-month warranty.
• Choose the JLab Smokin' Buds if you want a proven, widely reviewed earbud with long total battery life, a light fit and a sound-first tuning for workouts and everyday listening.
