![]() ![]() The Epic Sports’ ability to allow the user to customize their own sound is a welcome addition and is one of the new features that differentiates it from the other Bluetooth sports earbuds. I cannot take pictures at my gym, so I was not able to show pictures of me wearing the Epic Sport at the gym.Ī picture of me in front of all my vintage audio gear while listening to the Epic Sport wireless I also tried them on the oval while running and on the elliptical, the Epic Sport stayed in and I did not have to readjust them. I also used them when doing both wide and close grip chin ups, and the music was uninterrupted, they did not come out of my ears. I used them during more stationary exercises such as bench press, where I have other earbuds pop out because of the pressure or because of lying on the bench. At the gym I used the earbuds for a week to see how they would perform. Overall I think that the Epic Sport do a good job blocking out the outside world and allowing the user to enjoy their music. I was able to bend the memory wire coming from the earbuds to make them fit even better over my ears, which also helps cutting down on microphonics. This works better for me when using the earbuds at the gym, they stay in better and are out of the way. After getting that settled I installed the cable holder to cinch the wire closer to my neck. Of course everybody’s ears are different and that is why so many tips\cush fins were included. I decided on the more rigid larger gel tips paired with the small cush fins fit my ears the best. It was really easy switching between tips and cush fins(which cover the outside housing of the earbud case). I found myself spending time trying the different tip gels and trying them with the various cush fins to get a seal that would block out the outside world, but at the same time feel comfortable. The nice thing about the Epic Sport is that you have so many options in getting a good fit. Sorry, no beautiful models were available, just used myself to model the headphones. This comes in handy when deciding if you should charge the EpicSport or not. As an added feature, JLab incorporated notifications letting you know when the battery is full, medium, and low. I also found that the earbuds lasted the advertised 12 hours before needing to be charged. The charging cable holds the control section in place magnetically while being charged. I think this was done to make the Epic Sport even more resistant to sweat and water because these headphones are rated IP66, which means that they are splash proof, for those that really sweat. The magnetic USB charging cable has a cradle incorporated into it and the Epic Sport has a magnetic connection on the bottom of the controls and is a departure from the Epic2 where it had a micro-usb charging port built in. ![]() The wire of the earbuds is thin, but encased in a nice silicone cover that does not stick to your skin as some other brands like Beats. Pressing both the forward and reverse buttons at the same time quickly enables you to try out the 3 different equalizer(eq) modes, 3 beeps is heard every time you switch eq. The center button is used to pair, play, pause, answer, hang up, and activate Google\Siri. Double tapping the reverse button will go to the prior track, pretty standard stuff. To skip tracks all you have to do is hold down either the forward or reverse button, taping either will increase or lower volume. When pressing the buttons, they feel mechanically sound, and have a muted click to them. The forward and reverse buttons are slightly raised to help you differentiate from them while the center button is larger and raised higher than the other two. The controls feel nice and are easy to press to move between tracks and take calls etc. The cush fins easily come on and off the outside casing of the earbuds. The ear hooks built into the wire have some memory wire in them and they seem well made yet pliable. The Epic Sport are made of a very durable plastic. ![]() Here you can see how the nozzle and tip are angled. ![]()
