The JLab Work Buds are the first-ever wireless earbuds with a detachable boom mic designed specifically for clear calling. At $80, they offer unique features that enhance sound and call quality, along with massive battery life and multiple ear accessories for optimal fit.

The buds alone work decently for voice and video calls, though attaching the boom mic significantly improves quality for loud, clear results in every environment.

Older iPhone models may not support Voice Isolation due to their lack of a dedicated Neural Engine for machine learning tasks.
