JLab's $100 Earbuds Just Got a Feature Only Apple Had

Jennifer Moore · 2026-09-03

JLab just dropped something that could change how you think about budget earbuds. Their new JBuds Mini ANC now supports Apple Find My — and at under $100, it's the first pair to do so without an Apple logo on the box. Up until now, if you wanted native Find My tracking in your earbuds, you had to go with AirPods or Beats. That's it. So JLab's move brings that same peace of mind to a much more affordable price point. You can clip the charging case to your bag and track it right inside the Find My app, alongside your iPhone, iPad, and everything else. Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio are still there from the CES debut, and the updated range is available now across Europe. Wider US retail availability starts October 1. ### Sport Audio Gets a Major Upgrade JLab didn't stop at the Mini ANC update. They also used IFA 2026 to expand their sport audio lineup with two new models: the JBuds Open Sport 2 and the GO Sport ANC. Both are built for people who actually move. The JBuds Open Sport 2 uses a semi-in-ear, open-ear hybrid design with 14.2mm dynamic drivers and JLab's new SoundBoost technology. That tech automatically adjusts bass and tone so you can hear your workout and your surroundings at the same time. Smart, right? Here's what else you get: - Secure sport earhooks that stay put - IP55 rating for sweat and dust resistance - 44 hours of total playtime - Bluetooth 6 with Multipoint-3 connectivity (pairs with up to three devices at once) Then there's the GO Sport ANC. It takes JLab's existing GO Sport earbuds and adds Active Noise Cancelling and Spatial Audio to a redesigned earbud and case. You also get soft, bendable earhooks, an IP55 rating, and 35 hours of sweatproof playtime. ### A Splash of Style: The Jelle Collection JLab also announced the Jelle Collection — a shimmer-finish take on the JBuds Mini ANC and JBuds Lux ANC. It comes in five shades, from Royal Caviar's deep blue to Gold Digger's warm gold. "Listening to our customers, we know that audio is an extension of personal style," said Win Cramer, chief executive of JLab. "That's why the Jelle Collection brings a bold, expressive new look to both JBuds Mini ANC and JBuds Lux ANC." ### Pricing and Availability Here's the breakdown for US buyers: - JBuds Mini ANC Jelle: starts at around $50 (converted from £39.99) - JBuds Lux Jelle: around $100 (converted from £79.99) - JBuds Open Sport 2: around $63 (converted from £49.99) - GO Sport ANC: around $50 (converted from £39.99) The JBuds Mini ANC and its Jelle colorways are available now across Europe through Amazon, Argos, Currys, and JLab's own site. US retail follows from October 1. The GO Sport ANC hits European retailers from mid-September, while the JBuds Open Sport 2 launches in November. So if you've been holding off on true wireless earbuds because you're worried about losing them, JLab just made that excuse a lot harder to justify.
