Updated Review After A Few Months:
So, I've had a few months with these and they have certainly diminished over time.
Bluetooth connection has grown weaker.
My oldest pair of these will only stay connected when there is audio playing.
My newest pair (From like, a month after my first pair) is still going strong, only a few issues here and there.
Between my purchases, they updated the design of the ear pads and made the mounting arms wider.
I have 2 feelings about this;
A. I love that they listen. JLabs is a good company that makes really solid gold standard baseline tech items
It's affordable, it's good quality, I would easily recommend JLab products.
B. I hate the redesign lol. My glasses are very thin so this just adds a lot to my glasses and shoves into my face. The arms going out a bit more jab into the side of my head. I'm not a fan of this design decision.
Personally, I would prefer if they had options so everybody could be happy about it.
But, it's not such a bad design that it subtracts from the overall experience. It's one of those annoyances that you'll forget about after a minute. But it is there.
As it currently stands, I would still recommend these, EASILY.

Initial Review:
Honestly, I'm really surprised by these and I don't see how they could be anything but 5 stars personally.
How do they Sound? - They sound great! Like, surprisingly so. I would compare the sound quality to that of just listening to your phone speaker, but if it was like, in your blind spot? lol So it's not like, a Dolby experience by any means, but it's also not bad at all.
How do they pair? - Pairing them is a little funky, you need to make sure they are both on before you pair, otherwise you're just gonna pair one. Which is a fine flaw imo, it's essentially a pair of bluetooth headsets anyways. If they're both on, you just have to pair it once, it'll pop up as one thing. If you pair one and then try to pair the other, it'll pop them both up as individual things. Make sure both of them say "Hello"
What does it feel like to wear them? - Honestly, I forget they are there. They are both so incredibly lightweight.
If I said my glasses didn't move at all from the extra weight, I'd be lying, but it's surprisingly a lot less movement than you'd thing. It's almost negligible to what you'd normally experience from just moving around. Plus you get these rubber cushions so it's super unobtrusive overall. if you position them right, you'll forget like they are there entirely.
How does the microphone sound? - Well, it's not the worse I've ever heard. It's surprisingly clear but it's also quite metallic sounding. It kinda sounds like you're halfway in the background talking into a phone from the early 2010's?
I tested the microphone audio using both these as a headset and a pair of really nice studio quality high fidelity headphones. It sounds better when hearing the microphone's audio back through these headphones, it sounds much more distant using my nice headphones through an Equalizer.
How good is the Audio Projection, these don't go into the ears right? - Correct! They sit on your glasses, in front of your ear. I mentioned sorta all the relevant bits to this question. Sounds like a phone speaker, kinda sorta tinny but overall pretty clear.
In terms of hearing the audio when you aren't the one wearing it though? - You'll still hear it for sure, but it definitely will not be anywhere as loud as when they are on your head. Kinda sounds like a muffled phone speaker at a distance. At least at full volume. A lot easier to miss it if the volume is lower, although it starts getting a bit harder to hear after awhile, obviously.
How is the Battery life? - 8 hours of use and way more just idle is crazy and I 100% believe it. Better battery life than my watch.
Are there any Controls? - there is 1 button on each device. Long pressing them turns them on and off. Single pressing them turns the volume up or down. Right = Up, Left = Down. Double pressing the right button will play or pause whatever you're watching. Super nice feature. I can listen to what I'm listening to as I walk to the kitchen and pause it if somebody starts talking to me without being at my computer.
What about the Material? - Plastic. Honestly, overall they do feel pretty cheap, but I actually don't think this is a negative. It's not a bad cheap feeling, like I couldn't snap it with my fingers just attaching it a little stronger than I needed to. It's lightweight and I think the cheapness of it the material actually makes it better.
What does it come with? - 2 devices, 1 charging cable that charges both at the same time, a REALLY nice little carrying bag and a 3 month free trial to Tidal. So that's really neat. Makes me feel like some actual care and consideration went into these
Overall, These are such a GOOD deal. $15 and you get 2 bluetooth headsets, a nice case, a nice charger and a 3 month subscription to Tidal? It's an absolute steal. If you want Smart glasses but don't wanna drop $300 for something you already have on your face, These are a must!

Customers say
Customers find these wireless headphones to be good value for money and appreciate their quality. The sound quality receives mixed feedback, with some finding it decent while others say it's not great. The fit is also mixed, with some saying they fit great on safety glasses while others report they don't stay firmly in place. Moreover, functionality and volume receive mixed reviews - while they work well for phone calls, the left speaker doesn't work at all, and while the volume is good, they're only passable for music in quiet spaces. Additionally, connectivity issues are significant, with multiple customers reporting problems with pairing and two units not connecting, and battery life varies between lasting 6+ hours and discharging quickly.

Surprisingly very good sound quality. Didn’t expect an open ear have such quality. For music or calls. It has a little weight to it but not uncomfortable.

The concept of these Bluetooth speakers is great, unfortunately that is where the positives for this product end.
The sound quality is awful for music. It doesn't matter what type of file, bit rate, genre of music or EQ you try to use it will not sound good. All treble, terrible muffled mids and no bass. For spoken word such as podcast and audio books it would suffice, but barely since even at loudest volume it is barely audible.
Luckily I didn't have to endure the terrible sound quality for long since the product broke after a day of use. As you can see in the picture the tactile button on the right frame headset broke within 12 hours of use rendering half of the functions of the device useless. I contacted JLabs figuring they would want to do the right thing...wrong. Despite "great customer service" and "standing behind their product" all over their website, it seems it is the last thing they want to do.
You can send the product in for warranty service, but you must pay postage. From their email:
"JLab is not responsible for shipping cost incurred when sending your product"
Since postage cost would be over half the price of this product's original cost that option is out. When I responded with my frustration they provided a second option, destroy the product and send them pictures and wait for a replacement.
"We typically require customers to send in their products. In your case, please send us proof of purchase. After we approve- send us a picture of your audio product rendered inoperable. For True Wireless products, please destroy both earbuds along with the charging case to receive credit for a full unit replacement. When we receive your proof of disposal, we will issue you a store credit for the value of your item as currently listed on our site."
Awesome, let me just grab a hammer and smash this into pieces in hopes you will send a replacement. Do yourself a favor and buy something else. If the sound quality and overall quality of this product was better it would be a great purchase, but it's not. In addition, the warranty service is a joke. Shout out to Davian at JLabs for all your "great customer service" and "standing behind your product!"

Amazing on sale price!
This is an amazing little gadget! If you see this on for $29.99, I HIGHLY recommend getting it for someone who can't wear ear/headphones, and isn't a major audiophile. I would say the sound is equivalent to about $15-$20 earbuds. Bass isn't super amazing, but I personally don't expect that from bud-less earphones.MelAmazing on sale price!
Reviewed in Canada on December 20, 2022
I can still hear my surroundings fairy well. At max volume I can't hear my surroundings very well and people around me can hear a very faint sound- take that how you will.
I can't see them in my peripherals, and they're lightweight enough for me to hardly notice they're there.
I will say that if these were on for regular price ($60) I might be a little more hesitant on purchasing, but on sale? Amazing. Chef's kiss. A treat.
