The best sport earbud you can get!

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are definitely the best sport earbuds I've used! The sound is fantastic! What I love is the fit, These are just the right size. They stay in your ear great. The side controls are easy to use, and learn. The volume goes nice and high. Too many earbuds I've used are just too quiet. With this being said, the smart ambient is an awesome feature. You can't even notice its on, until it makes you feel alert of your surroundings. A perfect feature to keep you safe on the streets! My favorite part is the App integration. I can only speak for the Android version, but its awesome! This is the first EQ I've used that doesn't just lower the opposite sound spectrum of what you adjust. I have zero cons on this set!

JBL Endurance Race

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Endurance Race is a great wireless headphones for the active side of life but can be on the chill side as well. I am very active and these earbuds work great for me. Cycling or running i sweat a lot and the water proof is great which i like because it does not affect the sound quality. I like that there are extra Silicone tips for a closer fit and 10 Minutes on the charger give a 1 hour quick charge. I wish it was Wireless charge. Overall its a great earbud for both the active and chill side of everyday activities.

Great earbuds for the active lifestyle

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These earbuds are fantastic for the active lifestyle. They stay fit and secure while cycling, skateboarding, or even just mowing the lawn. They have a nice full sound and are adjustable through the companion app. Battery life is good and recharging is so easy with the travel case. Overall this is a very nice setup.

Great sound, comfortable, and stay in place

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using these for a few days now and I really like them. Once I found the fitment combination that was correct, they stay in place and are comfortable. They have excellent bass for listening to music and they are great for phone calls too. I do wish they were a little louder, because sometimes I am in a shop environment and it can be loud. I have used several True Wireless Headphones and these are the best for comfort and retention. They have the standard excellent JBL sound quality as well. I would absolutely recommend these headphones!

Complete, comfortable, good sounding earbuds

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sound: These sound amazing straight out of the box without any adjustments. The lows/bass are very punchy, mids/vocals are very clear, and even high-hats at the highs are powerful. I also love that you can connect these to the JBL Headphones app and customize the sounds with the app's EQ. However, the lows don't get punchier compared to other JBL earbuds when I turned on my "bass heavy" EQ preset. That preset usually tests the limit and I would've liked it better if the earbuds had more bass when maxed out. At the same time, the earbuds don't get too loud, at least based on my experience. They are easily usable at the max volume, unlike other earbuds I own. Do I think they're not loud enough? No, they are definitely loud enough but some people might prefer a louder sound when listening. [Microphone]: It's fine when used in quiet or not-so-busy areas but can't say the same about loud environments. The other side on the call struggled to hear me when I was outside and around a lot of background noise or on the bus. Charging Case: It is a bit on the bulky and cheap side compared to my JBL Reflect Mini NC and Tune 115 TWS's cases. To put the size in a perspective, it is small in width but large in length and height. That was probably done in order for the earbuds to fit since they're shaped a bit differently and stick out of the ear more than other earbuds. The case is very lightweight but it doesn't feel high quality. The flip feels like it's going to snap in half and come out of its hinge when opening/closing the case. I also found it hard to open with one hand for convenience. The magnets and pins inside the case, however, snap the earbuds right into place and they start changing right away. There's an LED battery indicator on the charging case so you can see the charging process or how much charge the case has. However, the indicator is very small and it's hard to figure out exactly what percentage of battery the case is on. I definitely prefer LED dots over strip/horizontal indicators. The battery of the case is also not visible on the JBL Headphones app. So, it's a bit of a guessing game for the exact battery percentage of the case. Battery life: By far, one of the best features of these earbuds. These do not die! The earbuds also fast charge so just in case you're able to kill them, you'll get the juice you need in minutes. Then, since these connect to the JBL Headphones app, you can see the battery percentage on each earbud. This comes in handy if you're using only one of them during your commute or working out, etc. Side note: The orange USB Type-C charging cable that came in the box is very short. On-earbud control buttons: I love that they are customizable in the JBL Headphones app. There are different presets you can assign to each earbud such as one touch on the right to stop the music and tap twice to go to the next track and the same with the left earbud. However, I would've liked it a lot better if each tap was customizable instead of the presets. So, the playback control preset just focuses on stopping the track, going next and previous. Then, the volume control preset specifically focuses on volume. It would've been more convenient if one, two, three taps, and tap & hold gestures were left to the user to decide instead of compromising in between different options. Also, the earbuds have a large surface area on the outside where the touch controls work and the battery is located. So, it takes a little bit to find the exact spot of the touch controls but it's easy once you get used to it. Other than that, having the app connection definitely plays a huge role in enhancing the earbud experience. Fit: Although these are sports earbuds, they fit quite nicely and comfortably. It is the most comfortable earbuds I have owned from JBL (compared to Reflect Mini NC, Live 300 TWS, Tune 115 TWS). Every part of the earbuds that go in your ear is covered by rubbers (soft ear tips material). Naturally, they feel more comfortable than other earbuds that do not have that rubber/padding. I had no problems having these on for a long period of time. I found the earbuds to be more comfortable by taking off the extra hook that they come with. Because of the twistlock feature, the earbuds stay in their place tightly so the hook felt unnecessary for me. It also made the earbuds more comfortable. But, the earbuds come with only one enhancer that has a hook. Providing another enhancer with a smaller hook might have allowed a better fitting. I'm using the earbuds with the no-hook enhancer but would've loved to see how much of a difference a comfortable hook could've made. Lastly, although the earbuds seem bulky, they are very lightweight and don't hang down or feel like they are going to fall. But, I would've preferred a slimmer structure/fit like the Reflect Mini NC. Ambient Aware & WalkThru: Ambient Aware function is actually very useful on public transportation such as NYC subways, and busses or when you're taking a walk/running around a busy area. It enables you to be "aware" of your surroundings by allowing more outside noise. I would've preferred more noise to be let in but they get the job done. On the other hand, I don't use WalkThru a lot. I just pause the content and listen what’s around so I didn't find WalkThru convenient because you just don't hear any of the content when it's turned on. You are better off just pausing the music than having this feature on. Overall, these are well-designed, lightweight, long-lasting (battery), comfortable, waterproof earbuds that I would easily wear every day. There are a few features that can be added such as noise cancelation, adding more customization for on-earbud controls, or adjusting the outside look, but at this price range, I have no problems. I would recommend this pair.

Perfect Fit

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The earbuds connected quickly to my cellphone via BlueTooth, and they fit perfectly in my ears! The sound quality is amazing and I experienced little to no background noise or interference. The controls are easy to use. The Google voice assistant is very helpful. I like the fact they are waterproof. I use them while I took a swim and in the shower. The JBL App is great! I'm able to customize the sound with the EQ! great product.

One word: TERRIFIC

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros: - These are the best quality headphones I’ve ever tried from JBL. - Sound quality is terrific, the JBL Headphones app only makes the experience even better. - Call quality is flawless and crystal clear. - Very easy to setup with Alexa, the tap options on each bud are plenty and takes time to remember, but can be customizable through the app, which is a fantastic feature. Cons: Size of the case is slightly big and not an ideal pocket size. Even the size of the buds is bigger but they stay perfectly in the ear and doesn’t fall down even during workouts. Thanks to different size buds provided.

IT DOES NOT WORK IN WATER

1 year ago

I purchased this "beach to boardroom device" - "safe upto 1 metre" and adertised with lots of shots of water and swimming only to discover it does not work under water ...so it is NOT for swimming - dont buy it if that is your intention - buy something else

We don&#39;t recommend our JBL Endurance Race TWS for swimming since Bluetooth does not travel through water. Also, it has an IP67 rating which protects the product from submersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Although it is waterproof, the touch pads of the earbuds are sensitive, and the water may cause unintended controls.<!--[if ReviewResponse]><![endif]-->

These rock!

3 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I want to say that the Endurance Race TWS Bluetooth earbuds are super comfy. I have small ears, and most wireless earbuds hurt my ears. I also like that they have an additional piece that rests inside your ears to ensure they stay put. These wireless earbuds are waterproof, which is awesome, and they also have an ambient aware feature. The left earbud controls the ambient feature and talkthru by simply tapping the earbud. The right earbud controls your play, pause, skip forwards and backwards by tapping it as well. Very simple to get used to. By tapping either earbud and holding down will access Siri for iPhone. The charging case is a smooth, sleek design, with the charger port located in the back. They also are setup with Google and Alexa built in. Once you connect them to your device they will automatically connect afterwards when you take them out of the charging case. The range on these is pretty good too. I used them all over the house while connected to my phone upstairs. As far as sound, I can turn these all the way up. I don’t think they need to be any louder, considering they are in your ear canal. Some other wireless earbuds can be too loud. I feel as though these are perfect. You can also download the JBL headphone app to adjust the equalizer. You can change it from bass to club, studio, jazz, etc, and create your own presets. The app also shows you if your software is up to date. I listened to various genres with these, and for the most part, everything sounded great. Overall, I really like these Bluetooth headphones. They are comfortable, sound great, and charge quickly. The app really makes the listening experience much better. Definitely download it, and choose your preset feature. These are great for on the go, or when you exercise. Very happy with these!
