Our Verdict

SoundPeats TrueFree/True Wireless

JLab Audio JBuds Air Truly Wireless

The SoundPeats TrueFree/True Wireless and the JLab Audio JBuds Air Truly Wireless are fairly similar headphones and perform almost identically when it comes to sound. However, the JBuds Air offer volume control on their one-button scheme, which the TrueFree are lacking. The recording quality of the integrated microphone is also better than the TrueFree. On the other hand, the SoundPeats don’t have an integrated charging cable and their case lacks a lid to protect the headphones.
