The new and improved JLab app offers complete customization for all JLab App compatible models. Adjust Noise Control settings, Be Aware, touch controls, safe listening levels, and sound to your personal preference – or use the presets for JLab Signature, Balanced, or Bass Boost. Plus, get software updates for your product right when they’re available.
 
 
Active Noise Cancellation Control
With the new JLab App, you'll be able to increase the active noise canceling from off all the way to max ANC, (on your ANC compatible earbuds) while in the earbuds themselves you can only select on or off.
 
 
Be Aware Audio
Bring the outside in. Use the JLab App to increase or decrease the amount of outside noise you let in by adjusting your Be Aware settings. (For Be Aware Compatible earbuds only)
 
 
EQ Customization
Fine tune your sound by adjusting the equalizer settings. JLab products come set with three default settings - called Custom EQ3 Sound, which features JLab Signature, Balanced and Bass Boost and a 4th option 'Custom'. Use the JLab App to test and set your own equalizer settings by adjusting Bass (200, 280, 400 Hz levels), Mid-Range (550, 770, 1000, 2000 Hz levels) and Treble (4000, 8000, 16000 Hz levels).
 
 
Custom Controls
JLab products come with controls in each earbud that control anything from volume, track changes, play/pause and more. If you'd like to switch the settings, you can customize your controls further via the app.


Safe Hearing
All future JLab models will now support Safe Hearing. Switch between the default output, 95 dB, or 85 dB for a safe listening experience.

### 1/5 — Settings Keep Resetting

*2026-08-19, version 1.4.1*

These stupid earbuds keep having pairing issues. They will already be registered on my device then randomly say "Ready to Pair". I am then forced to forget the device then re-pair them. Then when I check the app ALL MY SETTINGS ARE RESET. Your software is GARBAGE.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect to my GO air pops…

*2026-08-18, version 1.4.1*

Basically what the title says. Doesn’t pair to my JLab earbuds. The earbuds work just fine but the app doesn’t find them. Useless app.

### 5/5 — Colors with Sojnd Effects

*2026-08-13, version 1.4.1*

⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏🙏⭐️🫵🏽

### 2/5 — Some of the controls aren’t labeled or don’t work with voiceover.

*2026-08-13, version 1.4.1*

Have the Lux with ANC. With the EQ, there are 10 things that have percentages by them but it doesn’t say what the percentages are for. Base mid treble and whatever the other seven are. Would be really nice if that was fixed. And when you click to change the music mode, it stays on movie mode. It was on 3-D mode once. If it wasn’t for that I would’ve thought maybe the Lux with ANC only supports that mode.

### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2026-08-11, version 1.4.0*

I currently use the JLab Lux ANC  I can just say besides the bugs with connection here and there— it works well!

It would be better if the app would keep the custom sound control option to be saved even if the JLab disconnects. Like how bass booted (E1, E2, E3) are saved options. It would make everything more convenient instead of having to take a screenshot and push each button to match the audio quality it was fore’ reset.  Plus, fixing that will match this app onto the functions to other audio apps (like Sony).

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-08-11, version 1.4.0*

Very easy to use, great for controls and EQ and the ambient sounds is a good addition.

### 3/5 — Custom EQ adjustments

*2026-08-08, version 1.4.0*

On your next update of the app when I hit reset for custom EQ, does that set it to flat? And can you add plus and minus decibels so I know how much I’m putting it up and down thank you

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2026-08-08, version 1.4.0*

Worked fine forever then they had to meddle with quality of life update that ruined the app,

### 1/5 — Does not remember devices

*2026-08-07, version 1.4.0*

Ever since the last update, it doesn't remember any of my devices. I have to add them again every time I launch the app.

### 1/5 — Latest update is rubbish

*2026-08-05, version 1.4.0*

The new update to the JBud ANC doesn’t stay connected anymore. You have to pair each time. Time to find a replacement
