Back when they were first unveiled in January, we gave the super-small JLab JBuds Mini ANC a whirl and found them so bijou that they could fit on your keychain (and with a price to match most keychains, too). But now, these affordable earbuds officially work with Apple 's Find My for the first time
(a feat not easy to achieve outside of Apple's AirPods and Beats products),
so you can use your iPhone to locate the lost buds. Given that you're likely chaining them to your keys, this effectively lets the JBuds case replace your AirTag 2 . All without a price hike: you're paying $42.99 / 39.99 (about AU$80) for them. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:

Feature-wise, that's the highlight. Design-wise, you could argue that it's
the brand's new 'Jelle' style which takes the spotlight. This is a new range of color options is based on gel nail colors and is launching for the Mini ANC, as well as the JBuds Luxe , which will sell for $84.99 / 79.99 (around AU$160) in these new finishes.

While most earbuds and headphones aren't that shiny, with their matte
plastic, Jelle is very shiny. The products come in five different color ways, each of which is very shiny, like a jelly. It looks like your earbuds were ripped straight from the Simpsons. You may like One of our favorite power

These bring several key spec upgrades over their predecessors. The headliners are a much better battery life, jumping up to 45 hours when you include the case, and new audio tools to better close the open-ear gap.

Then we have the JBuds Go Sport ANC, which are due to sell in mid-September for $42.99 / 39.99 (about AU$80).

The Go Sport ANC are hook-style sports earbuds with a tip, unlike the Open, which offer a key upgrade over the pre-existing Go Sport; the addition of noise cancellation. It'll let you enjoy a rigid fit and drown out some of
your surrounding sounds.

While the JBuds Mini ANC and Jelle-fied devices are on sale now, you'll have to wait for these sports earbuds. I can see them being very popular in the end-of-year sales though. The best wireless earbuds for all budgets Our top picks, based on real-world testing and comparisons
