JLab goes big on new headphones at IFA 2026

JLab has unveiled its full JBuds Mini ANC range of headphones, adding Apple Find My compatibility to its JBuds Mini ANC earbuds, the first pair under $100 to offer the feature.

Only Apple’s AirPods and Beats models have offered native Find My tracking before now, so JLab’s move brings that reassurance to a sub-100-dollar pair of earbuds. Users can clip the charging case to a bag and locate it inside the Find My app alongside their other Apple devices.

Active Noise Cancellation and Spatial Audio carry over from that CES debut, and the updated range is available now across Europe, with wider US retail availability following from 1 October.

Sport audio joins the lineup

Alongside the Mini ANC update, JLab used IFA 2026 to expand its sport audio range with two new launches, the JBuds Open Sport 2 and the GO Sport ANC, both aimed at active users.

JBuds Open Sport 2 uses a semi-in-ear, open-ear hybrid design built around 14.2mm dynamic drivers and JLab’s new SoundBoost technology, which automatically adjusts bass and tone so users can hear a workout and their surroundings at once.

Secure sport earhooks, an IP55 rating and 44 hours of total playtime support that open-ear approach, while Bluetooth 6 with Multipoint-3 connectivity keeps the earbuds paired across up to three devices at a time.

GO Sport ANC follows a similar path for JLab’s existing GO Sport earbuds, and it adds Active Noise Cancelling and Spatial Audio to a redesigned earbud and case. Soft, bendable earhooks, an IP55 rating and 35 hours of sweatproof playtime round out JLab’s second new fitness launch.

JLab paired the audio launches with the announcement of its Jelle Collection, a shimmer-finish take on the JBuds Mini ANC and JBuds Lux ANC that’s available in five shades, from Royal Caviar’s deep blue to Gold Digger’s warm gold.

On the launch, Win Cramer, chief executive of JLab said: “Listening to our customers, we know that audio is an extension of personal style, which is why the Jelle Collection brings a bold, expressive new look to both JBuds Mini ANC and JBuds Lux ANC”.

Pricing for the Jelle Collection starts at £39.99 for JBuds Mini ANC Jelle and rises to £79.99 for JBuds Lux Jelle, while JBuds Open Sport 2 and GO Sport ANC carry an RRP of £49.99 and £39.99 respectively.

JBuds Mini ANC and its Jelle colourways are available now across Europe through Amazon, Argos, Currys and JLab’s own site, with US retail following from 1 October. GO Sport ANC reaches European retailers from mid-September, while JBuds Open Sport 2 launches in November.
