Title: JLab Audio Grab Bag $5 + $2.50 Shipping Per Bag
Post by: missalaire on Tue, 25 March 2014, 23:00:46: JLab Audio is offering their JLab Grab Bag for $5. Shipping is $2.50 each.

1. Click here: http://jlabgrabbag.com/password
2. Enter password rockitout
3. Add the grab bag to cart and proceed to checkout

Note: Limit 4 grab bags per customer. This deal is back again for those who missed last years +290 frontpage deal. To give you an idea of what to expect, last year I received a pair of Q1M and J4 metal earbuds as well as a pack of replacement buds. After reading some of the comments in the previous thread, members also reported receiving the J.Fi.M and J6M earbuds. According to their page, products in this year's grab bag may include JLab Earbuds, Crasher Bluetooth Speakers, Bombora Headphones, VOLT chargers, Bouncers, Shakers and more.

The Q1M MSRP is $400, though current sale price is $59.95
The J4 MSRP is $84.99 and current price is $34.99

Of the current stuff listed, It's all in the $30-$130 range. I'm sot sure if I can believe those MSRP prices though.

Are you sure you didn't cancel your order?
Title: Re: JLab Audio Grab Bag $5 + $2.50 Shipping Per Bag
Post by: Novus on Tue, 08 April 2014, 20:53:01: Last year there was a huge discrepancy in the time you ordered and when you actually got your stuff.
I ordered before my friend did and he ended up getting his stuff a full week before I did.

Don't worry too much if you haven't gotten your stuff.

Due to the high volume of Grab Bag orders received, we are unable to track individual orders. All of these orders have been imported into the warehouse as one large file and while this has sacrificed the ability to track the orders it allows us to expedite the shipping process.

Rest assured your order will ship within 1 - 3 weeks and once shipped should arrive within 3-5 business days.

If you do not receive your order within 4 weeks from purchase, please reach out again and we will work to ensure your order arrives safe and sound.

I can't because I didn't register an account with them prior to ordering, so my order status doesn't show up. A real failure of a system they got going on over there.

Title: Re: JLab Audio Grab Bag $5 + $2.50 Shipping Per Bag
Post by: Novus on Mon, 21 April 2014, 17:58:01: I registered the serial number.
Apparently it's just called metal w/mic. There's no other mention of this other than on the product registration page and search.

Could be a new product or something they discontinued. This had better packaging than all the stuff I got last year though - last year everything came in a cheap easy to rip foil bag and the headphones themselves where wrapped in small zip lock bags.

This thing comes in similar colors and configurations to the J5. It's probably related to it.

Post by: Techno Trousers on Tue, 29 April 2014, 01:16:05: I ordered four bags and got four sets of earbuds. J4M, 2 J5s, and a J6. I gave away two, and have been using the J5 and J6 for casual music /podcast listening on my phone and computer. I definitely prefer the sound of the J6. I've been walking while listening to the J5s, and unfortunately the shape really makes them pick up a whistling wind noise that's pretty annoying. I've only used the J6 at work so far, but it seems to be the same shape and would likely have the same issue.

I guess it's not really fair to put these up against my UM Westones, eh? Someday I hope to own a truly special set of earbuds, with audiologist custom molded ear pieces and all.

Okay. And they work just like those earpieces that comes with your phone when you buy one right?

As in quality wise, not function wise :cool:
