Given that you're likely chaining them to your keys, this effectively lets the JBuds case replace your <a href="https://www.techradar.com/phones/iphone/the-airtag-2-is-way-more-findable-and-louder-than-the-original-and-this-is-a-truly-worthy-upgrade">AirTag 2</a>. All without a price hike: you're paying $42.99 / £39.99 (about AU$80) for them.</p><p>Feature-wise, that's the highlight. Design-wise, you could argue that it's the brand's new 'Jelle' style which takes the spotlight. This is a new range of color options is based on gel nail colors and is launching for the Mini ANC, as well as the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/headphones/wireless-headphones/jlab-jbuds-lux-anc-review">JBuds Luxe</a>, which will sell for $84.99 / £79.99 (around AU$160) in these new finishes.</p><p>While most earbuds and headphones aren't <em>that </em>shiny, with their matte plastic, Jelle is <em>very </em>shiny. The products come in five different color ways, each of which is very shiny, like a jelly. It looks like your earbuds were ripped straight from the Simpsons. </p><h2 id="two-real-new-earbuds">Two real new earbuds</h2><figure class="van-image-figure inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1500px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.27%;"><img id="GGM6JDdSuoNy4Py9BtXYgb" name="JLab-JBuds-Lux-Jelle-Lifestyle-Fir-Sure-1000-Flatl" alt="The JLab JBuds Lux in the green Jelle model on a book." src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/GGM6JDdSuoNy4Py9BtXYgb.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1500" height="844" attribution="" endorsement="" class="inline"></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: JLab)</span></figcaption></figure><p>There are also two all-new, never seen 'til now pairs of earbuds JLab's showing off at IFA.</p><p>Firstly, we have the JBuds Open Sport 2, which are new hook-style open earbuds that act as an update to the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/audio/earbuds-airpods/jlab-jbuds-open-sport-review">JBuds Open Sport</a> (surprise surprise), and will cost $52.99 / £49.99 (about AU$100) when it goes on sale later this year.</p><p>These bring several key spec upgrades over their predecessors. The headliners are a much better battery life, jumping up to 45 hours when you include the case, and new audio tools to better close the open-ear gap.</p><p>Then we have the JBuds Go Sport ANC, which are due to sell in mid-September for $42.99 / £39.99 (about AU$80).</p><p>The Go Sport ANC are hook-style sports earbuds with a tip, unlike the Open, which offer a key upgrade over the pre-existing Go Sport; the addition of noise cancellation. It'll let you enjoy a rigid fit <em>and </em>drown out some of your surrounding sounds.</p><p>While the JBuds Mini ANC and Jelle-fied devices are on sale now, you'll have to wait for these sports earbuds. I can see them being very popular in the end-of-year sales though.</p> </article> ]]>
