Shifting focus from open earbuds to open headphones has become the new trend.

The technology world was abuzz at IFA 2025 in Berlin, as JLab unveiled its latest product in the open-ear audio market - the JLab JBuds Open Wireless Headphones. These headphones are poised to be a significant addition to the market, combining open-ear audio with a traditional over-ear headphone design.

The JBuds Open Wireless Headphones are designed with an open-ear design, allowing the user to hear their environment while enjoying their music. This unique design is made possible by the backs of the headphones being completely open. This feature is particularly advantageous for those who value staying aware of their surroundings while listening to music.

One of the standout features of the JBuds Open Wireless Headphones is the LabFocus sound steering technology. This technology is designed to minimize sound leakage and maximize audio quality, ensuring a superior listening experience. The headphones also feature noise-canceling mics for improved call quality, making them ideal for those who need to take calls comfortably.

The JBuds Open Wireless Headphones are equipped with two drivers: a 35mm and a 12mm. This dual-driver setup is expected to offer increased volume potential, making these headphones a promising choice for open-ear audio. JLab claims that these headphones can provide a better balance between audio playback and ambient noise, ensuring a rich listening experience without compromising on awareness.

In terms of battery life, the JBuds Open Wireless Headphones are projected to offer 18 hours of usage. While this might not be the most impressive among headphones in 2025, it is still sufficient for a day's use.

Priced at $99, the JBuds Open Wireless Headphones are considered reasonable for the features they offer. With their innovative design and advanced technology, these headphones are set to be a part of the future wave of open-ear headphones.

Currently, the JBuds Open Wireless Headphones are not yet available for purchase. However, they are expected to hit the market in November. With its debut at IFA 2025, JLab has certainly piqued the interest of tech enthusiasts, and we eagerly await the release of these innovative headphones.
