These $21 JLab Go Pop Noise Canceling Earbuds Are the Perfect Spring Sale Deal for Tuning Out the World

If you need some focused time to study or work, nothing is so helpful as active noise-canceling earbuds. Once the sole privilege of luxury buds from brands like Sony and Bose, ANC has slowly made its way down to midrange and now bargain-busting buds like JLab's newest entry in its ever-popular Go series. The JLab Go Pop ANC true wireless earbuds are on sale for 30% off for Amazon's Spring Sale, their first deal since launching in January. At $21, these buds are perfect for any budget and especially ideal for backup buds that can live in your backpack, purse or car.

With a battery life of over seven hours on the buds -- up to 24 hours with the case -- and an hour of playtime after a 10-minute top-off in the case, you can easily keep the music rolling all day and into the night. Like the previous Go Air Pop Plus, the Go Pop ANCs hide a built-in USB-C cable on the case's compact bottom. You can recharge off any Power Delivery charger or even your smartphone's USB-C port in a pinch, though the cable's extra-short length can be awkward.

The case and buds coordinate in one of six colors, including some transparent hues like iMac-worthy teal and GameCube-matched purple. The transparent versions allow the embedded LEDs to shine brighter, helping with visibility (especially at night), but that also means the case can turn into a nightlight when charging overnight.

The earbuds deliver a clear sound with 10mm drivers, which JLab claims are 40% larger than its competitors. You can also use these earbuds for meetings or calls through the Dual Connect feature, which allows you to choose between either earbuds separately or together. There is a built-in MEMS microphone in each earbud, personalizing your experience.

Downloading the JLab app allows you to customize your sound and adjust the settings. The app can also be helpful when managing another premium feature on these impulse-priced earbuds via multipoint Bluetooth, allowing you to connect the buds to two devices at once and swap between the two sources.

I often use this feature to connect to my phone and big-screen TV so I can tune out noisy neighbors but still hear and receive incoming phone calls. It's a godsend when the handoffs work correctly.

Another cool perk about these earbuds is their ability to easily shift from the noise-canceling feature to the Be Aware Mode. This mode lets you listen in on your surroundings while still playing your tunes. Google Fast Pair is also on board, and while the name makes it sound like this would only be helpful for Android users, other platforms like Windows PCs and Chromebooks also benefit from the enhanced Bluetooth Low Energy-powered pairing profile.

Why this deal matters

This Amazon Spring Sale deal will let you save $9 off the JLab Pop ANC noise-canceling earbuds, the first discount on a brand-new model. Deals are constantly changing, and we don't know how long this deal will be available, especially as JLab's Go Air Pop and Pop Plus have previously sold out during Black Friday, Prime Day and seasonal sales events. Grab it before it's too late, especially if you want one of the 00s-inspired transparent colors. These make fantastic backup earbuds if you lose a bud in the backyard or drown your charging case in the washer.
