JBL  Endurance Zone TWS Open-Ear Sport Earbuds

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones have worked great for me around the house and at the gym. They have a secure fit that hooks around your ear and doesn’t come loose. The sound profile can be changed as-well as the control buttons on the earbuds through the app. They have a great battery life with the case supporting all day use with quick charging. Overall I would recommend for those who want great audio quality while still hearing what’s going on around you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fitting headphones. Battery life so far has not been an issue and lasts as long as I needed them on. The case is easy to open and ear buds fit well and no issues pulling them in or out. Material is light yes donest feel flimsy when I put it on my ears. Haven't had to test the water proof part, but I hear clearly, those on phone calls or games hear me clear, and the music quality is great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL another new products and upgrade is a must thing. Endurance Zone delivers an excellent overall experience. The earphones are very comfortable to wear and fit perfectly in the ears. They are easy to put on, stay secure, and can be used for long periods without causing discomfort. The sound quality is clear and well-balanced, with good bass and crisp vocals, making it suitable for music, calls, and videos. Whether used indoors or on the go, the audio performance remains consistent and enjoyable. Another strong point is the battery life. The earphones last for several hours on a single charge, and with the charging case, they easily support extended daily use without frequent recharging. The app works smoothly and is very user-friendly. It allows easy control of settings and sound customization, enhancing the overall user experience. Overall, this earphone is a great choice for anyone looking for comfort, good sound quality, reliable battery life, and seamless app integration.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would say I’m really impressed with the features that these headphones have I was just expecting a set of Bluetooth headphones that you could just put on your ears play music and what not but actually in the settings and with the JBL app there’s a lot of different things that you can actually do. They are pretty good sounding but probably not as good as good traditional in ear headphones, however these serve a different purpose. I did find that they fit my ears well but not my wife’s ear who has small ears than mine. Overall I am impressed with the suite of features offered. For example choose from a variety of languages to be used for voice prompts; max volume limiter; sound level optimizer; a variety of equalizer settings and the ability to make your own; the pulse dry option is slick and can get rid of unwanted moisture on the headphones; connection was easy and straight forward and the taps on the headphones to achieve different functions was very easy to activate. At one point my wife unknowingly paused the music by hitting the right earpiece, so something to be cautious of.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are great! I love the fact that they are open sound and they don’t protrude into your ear canal. They are lightweight and appear to be very durable. The sound from these are excellent, plenty of bass and clarity, plus the microphone for phone calls works perfectly! I have used these running on the treadmill, running outside in the elements of mist, and while working out lifting weights. These stay in place and have never fallen off or moved. The IP68 water and dust proof works great along with the PulseDry in the app. The app is great in that it lets you customize everything with the headphones like equalizer, balance, and tone of phone calls. These headphones connected immediately out of the box and have automatically connected when I go to use them. The battery life seems to last a very long time and charging to full only takes a couple of hours. The command buttons work great also with just a tap on the headset. Overall, I think JBL hit a home run with these durable, excellent sounding headphones! Definitely put these at the top of your list, you won’t be disappointed!

I used the JBL Endurance Zone earbuds extensively during my runs — a total of 10 sessions ranging from 6km to 21km. The battery life was reliable, and recharging in the case was always quick. The sound quality is excellent, and pairing worked smoothly across my Amazfit GTR4 smartwatch, Google Pixel 8 smartphone, tablet, and laptop. During runs, the earbuds stayed secure and comfortable, even on mountain trails. Only on a couple of occasions did they briefly disconnect from my smartwatch, but that problem stopped happening. The main issue was that, in the last week, the right earbud stopped pairing completely. It only showed a light blue indicator, while the left one paired normally with the darker blue light. The JBL app also failed to detect the right earbud despite multiple attempts to unpair and re-pair. Overall, aside from this critical issue with the right earbud, I really enjoyed the experience. The earbuds provide great sound and a secure fit for long-distance running. I believe this is a technical defect with the unit I received, and if resolved, these earbuds would be an excellent choice for runners who want comfort, durability, and quality sound.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Endurance Zone straight out of the box the packaging is great and the case is the perfect size to put in a back pocket or a medium sized pouch of a gym bag. The texture and weight of the product is just right. They have a matte finish where it is needed and slim enough to go around your ear perfectly. Audio quality was good for what it is. There are not bone conducting which I thought initially, they are what is referred to as JBLs OpenSound Technology. The earbuds when properly fitted are just above your ear passage. The sound is bold, crisp and clear with an amazing amount of sound out of small package. So far while using the earbuds I never had any issues with running out of power. These guys handled Music to pod casts to some light doom scrolling without issue. Over all I really liked these earbuds but they just didn’t fit my ears well. I have very small ear passages and the area of the concha and antihelix is narrow (look up parts of the ear) on me. So they did not fit as tight as I would like them to when at the gym. No they did not fall off, not once but they definitely move a bit which is expected with “Sports” earbuds. They come with everything pictured, but do not include a usb-c charge cable. Its not a huge deal but it was worth mentioning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve put the JBL Endurance Zone headphones through everyday walks and workouts, and they make a strong first impression. From a build and design standpoint, they’re clearly well made. They feel durable, thoughtfully designed, and premium the moment you pick them up. The sound quality is strong and polished, and overall ease of use is solid. Pairing was simple, the controls were intuitive, and once they’re on, you can focus on moving. One thing worth noting is that these do not plug into your ear like traditional earbuds. Even so, outside noise did not interfere as much as I expected, which was a pleasant surprise. That said, I personally prefer earbuds that sit inside the ear canal, and this design is not my favorite. For me, they did not feel as secure. I often felt like they were in danger of falling off, especially while walking or working out. It could be a fit issue, as I may have smaller ears, but I found myself adjusting them more than I wanted. I do see plenty of people using this style of headphone, so there is clearly a market for it. For the right person, these could be a great option. They are well built, sound great, and are clearly designed with active use in mind. They are just not the right fit for me personally, and that comes down to preference rather than performance.

I tested the JBL Endurance Zone while walking and running. I had never tried earbuds with ear hooks before, but I was pleasantly surprised. At first, I thought they wouldn’t stay in place since the buds don’t really go into your ear canal, but they actually stayed on very well, even while running. I found them very comfortable to wear. The sound quality is also very good and enjoyable. There’s no noise canceling, but I personally like that when I’m outside walking or running, since I can still hear some traffic around me. Pairing them with my iPhone 14 was quick and easy via Bluetooth, and the connection was stable most of the time. One downside I noticed is that the sound occasionally cut out during both walking and running. This doesn’t happen with my wired earphones, so that was a bit frustrating. Overall, they’re comfortable, secure, and sound great, but the occasional sound drop was a drawback for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones charge pretty quickly, but they do not include a charging cable. Nice design, but this is not made for everyone. I have smaller ears, so they do not fit properly. The sound quality is pretty good. The Bluetooth connection was quick and straight forward.
