The colors spread to not only the cable and earpieces but also the ear tips. There are 12 options: onyx black (all black), boqari blue (navy with light blue tips), black/electric blue, orange citrus (all orange), black/mint green, purple/lavender, lambo yellow (all bright yellow), black/hot pink, red/white, pink martini (all pink), white/grey, and black/chrome silver. You should be able to find a combo that goes with whatever MP3 player you own.

Beyond fit and style, the JLab JBuds J2 earphones offer two other improvements over stock earbuds: sound isolation and bass. In testing, we found the passive isolation to be more than adequate, and it's always a good feature to have as it allows you to listen to your music at lower volumes, thus sparing your ears. Audio quality isn't the greatest overall: highs lack the detail and clarity we desire and the boomy bass lends a muddled quality to most songs. However, at least there is bass, and mids also sound better than what you get from a stock set. If you're picky about audio quality, look elsewhere, but if you just want a step up in comfort, look, and low-end response, the J2s are a decent option.
