Jlab Epic Open Sport, black

The Jlab Epic Open Sport wireless headphones feature an open-ear design that naturally maintains awareness of your surroundings. Bluetooth 5.4 technology provides a wireless connection to players, and the USB-C connector is used for charging. The headphones do not use active noise cancellation, thus promoting safe movement in city traffic. The built-in battery provides a total battery life of 30 hours of operation with repeated charging in the case. The headphones stay securely in place thanks to the practical ear hooks.

Sound and Tuning

The headphones are fitted with 14.2mm dynamic drivers that direct sound straight to the ear. Hi-Res Audio certification and support for the advanced LDAC codec deliver high-resolution sound up to 40,000Hz. iOS device users can take advantage of the AAC codec, while the standard SBC is available for other platforms. The app allows you to choose between three EQ3 sound modes without the need for complex adjustments. This makes it easy to adapt the sound profile to the genre of the track you're playing.

Battery Life and Charging

The headphones themselves offer enough power for 7 hours of continuous music playback. The charging case, with a capacity of 450mAh, extends the total operating time to more than 30 hours. The modern USB-C interface, located on the back of the case, is used for recharging. An integrated LED indicates the remaining energy level by flashing red when it drops below 25%. You can also start the charging process by placing the case on a wireless charging pad.

Calls and Microphone

Phone calls are clear even in noisy outdoor environments. The headphones use two built-in directional microphones for omnidirectional voice pickup. Integrated 2-Mic ENC technology effectively suppresses ambient noise during calls, so the person on the other end can hear your voice clearly without interference from wind or traffic. The frequency range of the microphones is 100Hz to 8,000Hz with a sensitivity of -38dB.

Comfort, Fit and Durability

The over-ear hook design keeps the headphones firmly in place, even during sudden movements. The flexible hooks gently wrap around the ear, preventing them from slipping during sports activities. The IP55 rating indicates resistance to sweat and dust during demanding outdoor training. The open-ear design doesn't press into the ear and helps with the natural perception of sounds from the surroundings. The headphones weigh only 7.1g, contributing to comfort during all-day wear.

Controls, App and Pairing

Wireless connectivity is provided by Bluetooth 5.4 with Bluetooth Multipoint support for connecting to two devices at once. Google Fast Pair facilitates quick pairing with compatible devices. The combined touch and button controls on the body of the headphones make it easy to select the volume or switch tracks. The JLab App is used for detailed customisation of the functions of individual controls.
