How about JLab Audio sports headphones brand introduction

Founded in 2006, JLab is Major League Soccer's first official audio partner, specializing in wireless audio products. Although the brand is very young, its strength cannot be underestimated. Soon after its launch, the JLab Epic2 sports headphones were well received by the media outlets, including The Verge and The Wirecutter. The newly launched split Bluetooth headset Epic Air is also highly competitive, winning the joint first place in the wireless sports headset with a high score of 76 points in the U.S. Consumer Reports, and is also listed as an editor's recommended product in PCMag's annual running headset selection.
 
The Epic Air is one of the few split Bluetooth headphones with an earhook design, which makes it very secure to wear, and the weight of the 15g body will not be a burden. It has a single battery life of 6 hours, which is among the best in its class, and the case provides an additional 30 hours of power. The Epic Air has an 8mm driver, which is larger than any other device in its class, and also supports aptX Bluetooth encoding. According to PCMag, the Epic Air has the typical sound quality of a sports headset: a deep low-frequency response, but with enough clarity in the mid-to-high and high frequencies to maintain overall balance. In addition, the Epic Air has IP55 dust and water resistance, and the price is around 1100 yuan.
 
The price is about 1200 yuanEpic Air Elite is an upgraded version of Epic Air,The appearance and configuration have not changed much,The biggest feature is the addition of a mobile phone APP to record user movement data,And the introduction of ambient sound mode to improve safety,Bluetooth version is upgraded from Epic Air4.1 to 4.2。 Interestingly, the Epic Air Elite's case not only charges the headphones, but also the phone. Although there are 3 adjustable sound effects, the Epic Air Elite does not support aptX or AAC Bluetooth encoding, and the sound quality is still slightly inferior to that of the Epic Air.
 
The Epic2 was JLab's award-winning predecessor, and now an upgraded version of the Epic Sport has been introduced to the market. The price of the Epic Sport is about 800 yuan, and it also inherits all the advantages of the Epic2, with a battery life of 12 hours, an earhook design, a larger 8mm driver unit, and support aptX Bluetooth encoding. The Epic Sport has been upgraded with three different audio modes, a Bluetooth version up to 4.2, and IP66 protection. In addition, the Epic series also has an Epic Executive with a noise cancellation function for consumers to buy, and the price is also around 800 yuan.
 
Also worth mentioning is the JLab Gravity, which features a creative "wired hard collar" design. Specifically, the headphone jack is added to the hard collar part of the headset, so that the wired headset becomes a Bluetooth headset after being plugged in. When the Bluetooth part is out of power, the wired earphones can also be directly plugged into mobile phones and other devices for use. However, on the whole, the performance of Gravity can only be said to be average, the waterproof level is only IPX4, it does not support aptX or AAC Bluetooth encoding, the battery life is 10 hours, and the price is about 400 yuan.
 
Since JLab has not entered the Chinese market, its products are difficult to buy, and consumers are advised to buy them through channels such as overseas shopping or daigou.
