Best headphones I’ve ever owned,
I just got a pair of J5s and have been really impressed with the quality of the build. I have owned a lot of headphones before from all the major brands and have kind of stuck on JLab products because a) I don’t like waiting in line at stores so I buy everything on Amazon and b) Jbuds are typically the least expensive decent quality earbuds on here. I go through my buds pretty quickly as I bring them everywhere with me and usually wind up leaving them somewhere eventually. I was a big fan of the J4s and have a couple pairs of those. I liked the durability and the sound clarity was great. For my most recent purchase, I decided to try the newer version because they were a bit cheaper and I didn’t need a case. Here are my initial thoughts:
Pros:
Sound quality- These are some of the best headphones I have ever owned for clarity of the music. I feel like I do not have to turn my iphone volume as loud as with other buds to get a decent volume level. Also, at the louder volumes, there is no distortion. This has been a problem in the past with other earphones I have used.
Look and feel great- I am a fan of the rounder tear drop shape of the buds. I prefer this over some of the boxier earbuds or the ones that look like they come from another planet. The J5s are super comfortable in your ears and you can wear them all day without any discomfort. The grill on the back is cool and is a nice touch.
The jack- JLAB has restyled the jack and the new one feels really solid and well constructed.
Cons:
No case- The J5s do not come with a case. This was not a big deal for me as I have a couple extra. I think that you can buy the case separate if this is important for you.
Thinner cable- The cable on the J5s is thinner than the J4s. This is a better design if you need it for running or when you are on the move but some people might prefer the heavier cable.
Conclusion:
The J5s are the best sounding buds I have ever used and it is pretty incredible that they only cost $30. If you want a thicker cable and case, look into the more expensive J4s though.

|Don’t waste your time with anything else.,
I have personally bought 4 pairs of JLabs Jbuds, from the Jbuds all the way to the J4′s. I had originally bought them for the colors and the price, but after hearing what they’ll do, I can’t bring myself to buy anything else. I usually rock a $50 pair of Sony buds, but after getting the J5′s, I really have no use for them. These things are more comfortable than every other set of buds I’ve ever had. These things are very well worth the price. If you’re looking for comfort, sound quality, volume, clarity, bass and really nice style, these are the way to go.
The small cord is an added bonus for me also, I hate a thick cord weighing down the buds and pulling out of my ears. I haven’t put them through the standard 24 hour break in period the other Jbuds need, but I’m not even noticing that they actually need it. I’ve only had them in my ears for a short time and have already had multiple eargasms.
These buds are absolutely amazing, affordable, and what everyone on my Christmas list is getting.

|Not worth the $ “upgrading” from J3,
These are good, they just sound flatter/less dynamic then my J3′s do. Combine with the J3′s come with a case and thicker cord, ten dollars more in price, and this is actually an expensive “down grade” for someone. I tested using an iPod touch, flat mix, equal volume. The J3′s just sounded better and were also louder with more bass. Equally sized ear canal inserts were used. One positive is the J5 seems to stay in my ears better then the J3 when I exercise. I’ll keep them (J5) for back ups, and I prefer the “ear bud” style headphone to the stock in your ear iPod headphone. All in all a decent ear bud, just not as good IMHO as the J3s. Link for the j3:
