JLab recently expanded its portfolio with the introduction of the JBuds Air Pro -- a new device that can to two devices simultaneously. Devices with Bluetooth multipoint connectivity can be paired with two devices simultaneously, ideal for users who want to use one set of earbuds to stream audio from their computer and then quickly take a call from their phone without having to unpair their device.
JBuds Air Pro features 9 hours of playtime in each earbud and 27 extra hours from the charging case (36 hours in total). Moreover, the device features a 'Be Aware Mode' that allows outside noises in so users are aware of what's around them. This allows users to run, walk, or chat while still listening to music.
