TWS earbuds come in all shapes and sizes these days, and so do their charging cases. But most of them share one common attribute that makes it difficult to choose the perfect pair of true wireless earbuds – their size. Either the bulk of charging cases are huge like the Nothing ear (2) or the earbuds themselves are too big and bulky like the Jabra Elite 4. This is the problem that JLabs is trying to solve with its "JBuds Mini TWS", which are apparently "the smallest true wireless headphones on the market." So here's everything you need to learn about this pair of TWS earbuds.

JBuds Mini was introduced globally at IFA Berlin 2023 recently. With this TWS offering, JLabs focuses on the audio listening experience for people with small ears as well as those who want to carry something compact and small. And by small, I mean really small.

For starters, the oval plastic charging case measures just 2.08 x 1.38 x 0.94 inches and weighs just 18.5 grams (3.3 grams per earbud). This makes it one of the smallest TWS earbuds on the market. For context, the image below shows the size of the JBuds Mini compared to a regular sized SD card. It is barely bigger than the SD card. Also, for convenience, there is a key ring loop attached to the case that allows you to attach your keys or an AirTag with it.

Now I know what you are wondering, if the earphones are so small, how good can its battery life or performance be? This is the same concern I had when I first read about these TWS earbuds. However, it looks like JLabs uses high-density lithium polymer batteries with a capacity of 25 mAh in each earcup and a 250 mAh cell in the charging case. JLabs claims that this cell configuration can help the JBuds Mini TWS offer a total playback time of 20 hours with 5 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. This is pretty impressive.
