Unboxing and Components
Your JLab Go Air Pop package should include the following components: one charging case, a pair of Go Air Pop earbuds (left and right), three sets of ear tips (small, medium, and large – with medium pre-installed), and a USB-C charging cable. Carefully remove all items from the box, ensuring you have everything listed.
Inspect the charging case and earbuds for any visible damage. The charging case features LED indicators to display charging status. The earbuds are designed to fit securely and comfortably in your ears; experiment with the different ear tip sizes to find the best seal. Retain the original packaging for potential warranty claims or returns. A quick start guide is also often included for basic setup.
Charging the Case and Earbuds
To charge the JLab Go Air Pop charging case, connect the provided USB-C cable to the case and a USB power source. The LED indicators on the case will illuminate to show the charging status – typically, a pulsing light indicates charging, and a solid light indicates fully charged. Charging the case fully takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.
To charge the earbuds, place them inside the charging case. They will begin charging automatically. A red indicator light on the earbuds signifies they are charging. Once fully charged, the light will turn off. A full earbud charge takes around 1 hour. It’s recommended to fully charge both the case and earbuds before initial use for optimal performance and battery life.
Bluetooth Pairing: Initial Setup
Begin by ensuring the JLab Go Air Pop earbuds are inside the charging case. Remove the earbuds from the case; one earbud will blink blue and white, signaling it’s ready for pairing. Navigate to the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone or device. Select “JLab GO Air Pop” from the list of available devices. If prompted, enter the pairing code “0000”.
Once connected, the earbud’s LED will turn solid blue. The second earbud will automatically pair with the first. If automatic pairing fails, quickly tap one earbud seven times to reset it, then repeat the pairing process. Ensure no other devices are actively connected to the earbuds to avoid interference during initial setup.
Understanding the LED Indicators
The LED indicators on the JLab Go Air Pop case and earbuds provide crucial information about their status. A red LED on the case indicates it’s charging. A blinking red light signifies a low battery. A solid white light means the case is fully charged. On the earbuds, a blinking blue and white light signals pairing mode. A solid blue light confirms a successful Bluetooth connection.
A red light flashing on an earbud indicates it needs charging. If the earbuds won’t pair, a quick seven-tap reset can initiate pairing mode again. Understanding these LED signals helps diagnose issues and ensures optimal performance of your JLab Go Air Pop earbuds.
Controls and Functions
JLab Go Air Pop earbuds feature intuitive touch controls for music playback, calls, and voice assistant activation – all easily managed with simple taps!
Playing and Pausing Music
Effortless Control: Managing your music with the JLab Go Air Pop is incredibly simple. To begin playback, ensure your earbuds are connected via Bluetooth to your device. A single press on either earbud’s touch control will initiate music playback.
Pause and Resume: Need a quick break? A single press on either earbud while music is playing will instantly pause the audio. Press again to resume where you left off. This convenient feature allows for seamless control without needing to reach for your phone or other connected device.
Skip Tracks: Double-tap the right earbud to skip to the next track in your playlist. Similarly, double-tap the left earbud to return to the previous track. These intuitive controls put you in command of your listening experience.
Adjusting Volume
Precise Control at Your Fingertips: The JLab Go Air Pop offers straightforward volume adjustment directly through the touch controls on each earbud. To increase the volume, triple-tap the right earbud. Each triple-tap will incrementally raise the audio level, allowing for precise adjustments to your preferred listening volume.
Lowering the Volume: Conversely, to decrease the volume, triple-tap the left earbud. Like increasing the volume, each triple-tap will lower the audio level. This intuitive system ensures you can easily manage your sound without needing to access your device’s volume controls.
Device Volume: Remember that the earbuds control volume relative to your connected device. Ensure your device’s volume is also at a comfortable level for optimal listening.
Answering and Ending Calls
Seamless Call Management: The JLab Go Air Pop earbuds allow for hands-free call management with simple touch controls. When receiving an incoming call, single-tap either the left or right earbud to answer the call. This instantly connects you to the caller, utilizing the built-in microphone for clear communication.
Ending a Call: To end an active call, simply single-tap either the left or right earbud again. This will disconnect the call and return you to your audio or ambient listening. The single-tap functionality provides a quick and convenient way to manage your calls on the go.
Call Quality: Ensure a stable Bluetooth connection for optimal call quality. Background noise may affect microphone performance.
Activating Voice Assistant
Hands-Free Control: The JLab Go Air Pop earbuds offer convenient voice assistant activation for effortless control. To activate your preferred voice assistant – Siri or Google Assistant – simply double-tap the left earbud. This will immediately launch the voice assistant on your connected smartphone.
Voice Command Ready: Once activated, you can issue voice commands to make calls, send messages, play music, get directions, and more, all without touching your device. Ensure your smartphone’s voice assistant is enabled in its settings for optimal functionality.
Compatibility: Voice assistant functionality is dependent on your smartphone’s capabilities and settings.
Customization and Settings
Personalize Your Sound: Explore equalizer settings, customize touch controls, and learn how to reset your JLab Go Air Pop earbuds for a tailored experience.
Equalizer Settings
Fine-Tune Your Audio: While the JLab Go Air Pop doesn’t offer a fully customizable EQ within the dedicated JLab app (as seen in some higher-end models), users can still influence the sound profile. The earbuds are pre-tuned for a consumer-friendly sound signature, emphasizing bass for an enjoyable listening experience. However, sound preference is subjective!
To adjust the sound, consider utilizing the equalizer settings available within your Bluetooth source device – your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Most devices have built-in EQ options allowing you to boost or reduce specific frequency ranges. Experiment with these settings to find a sound profile that best suits your musical tastes and listening preferences. Remember to start with small adjustments and listen carefully to the changes.
Customizing Touch Controls
Personalize Your Experience: The JLab Go Air Pop features intuitive touch controls, but customization options are limited compared to more advanced earbuds. While a dedicated app for extensive remapping isn’t available, you can still adjust certain functions through a specific reset procedure.
To potentially alter control behavior, try resetting the earbuds – removing them from Bluetooth settings and then quickly tapping one earbud in the charging case seven times. This can sometimes revert controls to factory defaults or resolve unexpected behavior. However, this isn’t a guaranteed customization method. The standard controls include playback, volume, calls, and voice assistant activation via taps.
Resetting the Earbuds
Troubleshooting Step: If you encounter pairing issues, unresponsive controls, or other malfunctions, resetting your JLab Go Air Pop earbuds can often resolve the problem. The process is straightforward, but requires precise timing.
First, ensure the earbuds are inside the charging case. Then, completely remove the JLab GO Air Pop from your device’s Bluetooth settings – essentially “forget” the device. Next, quickly tap one of the earbuds seven times while it’s still inside the charging case. Observe the LED indicators; they should signal a reset. After the reset, re-initiate the Bluetooth pairing process as described in the initial setup guide. This restores the earbuds to their factory defaults.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Facing problems? This section addresses frequent concerns like pairing difficulties, audio output issues, battery life, and charging case malfunctions – find quick solutions here!
Earbuds Not Pairing
Experiencing pairing issues with your JLab GO Air Pop? First, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Then, remove the earbuds from your device’s Bluetooth settings completely. Next, place both earbuds inside the charging case, close the lid, and wait a few seconds.
Now, initiate pairing mode by quickly tapping one earbud within the case seven times. A blinking blue and white light indicates pairing readiness. Select “JLab GO Air Pop” from your device’s Bluetooth list to connect. If problems persist, try resetting the earbuds (see the ‘Resetting the Earbuds’ section) or restarting your Bluetooth device. Confirm no other devices are actively connected, potentially interfering with the pairing process.
No Sound Output
Encountering silence with your JLab GO Air Pop? Begin by verifying the volume level on both your earbuds and the connected device. Ensure the earbuds are securely and correctly placed in your ears, establishing a proper seal for optimal audio delivery. Confirm that the correct audio output device is selected within your device’s settings – choose “JLab GO Air Pop”.
If the issue continues, try disconnecting and reconnecting the earbuds via Bluetooth. Also, test with a different audio source or device to isolate the problem. A quick reset of the earbuds, as detailed in the manual, can often resolve software glitches. Finally, check for any physical obstructions blocking the earbud speakers.
Short Battery Life
Experiencing quicker-than-expected battery drain with your JLab GO Air Pop? Several factors can contribute to this. High volume levels consistently consume more power. Frequent use of features like voice assistant activation also impacts battery life. Ensure the charging case is fully charged, as this is crucial for replenishing the earbuds’ power.
Avoid exposing the earbuds to extreme temperatures, as this can degrade battery performance. If the issue persists, try fully discharging and then recharging the earbuds. Confirm that the earbuds are properly seated within the charging case to ensure efficient charging. Consider that battery life naturally diminishes over time with usage.
Charging Case Not Charging
Is your JLab GO Air Pop charging case failing to charge? First, verify the charging cable and power adapter are functioning correctly by testing with another device. Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the case and the power source. Inspect the charging port on the case for any debris or damage that might obstruct the connection.
Try using a different USB port or wall adapter. A slow or intermittent charge could indicate a cable issue. If the case still won’t charge, attempt a reset by leaving the earbuds out of the case, then plugging it in to charge. Contact JLab customer support if the problem continues, as it may indicate a hardware malfunction.

You can enjoy a wireless range of up to 30 feet (10 meters) without signal interruption, allowing you freedom of movement.

Water Resistance Rating
Enjoy workouts and outdoor adventures! The JLab Go Air Pop earbuds boast an IPX4 water resistance rating. This means they are protected against splashes of water from any direction, making them ideal for exercise and light rain. However, it’s crucial to understand the limitations of this rating.
The IPX4 rating does not protect against full immersion in water, such as swimming or showering. Avoid exposing the earbuds to significant amounts of moisture. The charging case is not water resistant, so keep it dry. To ensure longevity, wipe off any moisture from the earbuds immediately after exposure. Proper care will maximize their lifespan.
