JBL Endurance Race True Wireless Waterproof Active Sport Earbuds

I rarely write bad reviews after retuning the item. But this item has wasting me 1 week trying to make it work and it does not. I have contacted the customer service and the agent has a strong non-American accent thus it was annoying to listen to with frustrations, furthermore, her communication style is extremely confusing for not answering the direct questions you asked for thus missed the point I would like to find out and the answer she gave me was incorrect either. She seems not able to answer a question by saying "Yes. it can do so" or " No. it cannot do so. The only way to have it done is ....". Customer can provide communication emails to prove what she meant by this.
When it comes to the product, it is under satisfactory. I have a Windows 10 PC, the charging progress is not showing, it always says 10%. The App does not have a place to show the percentage of charging either, although the customer service agent mentioned that there was. One of the most disappointed experience I have gotten.

Love these they don't fall out and they sound great

I've had these earbuds for several months. I use them when I run outdoors. I have trouble with some earbuds slipping out when I run. These stay put securely. The sound is excellent. I don't find the app useful since the default settings seem entirely adequate. Phone calls come through fine. I like that they connect effortlessly to my Apple Watch and stream Apple Music without me needing to carry my phone on runs.

I bought these earbuds about three weeks ago, and I absolutely love them. The sound quality is amazing. So many earbuds have really strong bass, but cant keep the mids and highs sounding good, these can! Bass is punchy and plentiful, mids and highs are clear and sharp. An amazing product. I also purchased a JBL go 3 and UPS lost it. I contacted JBL via chat, told them the situation and within 24 hours a new speaker was shipped to me. Very happy with the entire experiance.

I bought this a month ago and am so happy I did...

I got these free through a rewards program. So I can’t complain much. The sound in my opinion is excellent the features are great I love the smart ambient sound. Love that there is an app so you can adjust which earbud does what. The only problem I have is the Wing enhancer that keeps the earbuds securely in your ears is slightly too big. Yes they do fit in ear as intended but they hurt like hell with extended use. Otherwise love these earbuds. Would love to see these earbuds with same Wing enhancer but slightly smaller for people with smaller ears.

I have not even had them 24 hours and the left ear bud is not working at all.

These are great earbuds however the only problem is sometimes it hard to tell which one is the R or L. Maybe have bigger letters or differening colors for the inside of each bud for us blind peeps. I love the feature where they are so easy to reconnect to phone if disconnected. Perfect!

I bought these based on the promise that they stay in your ears no matter what you are doing. I'm very pleased that they fit the bill, after a few weeks of testing them both stationary and while chasing my dog around the dog park. It took a couple tries to find the best fit, and each ear needs a different size, but I'm glad it came with various options to create the best fit. The sound is full and it's fun using the App (iOs capable) to try different sound qualities. The noise-cancelling feature will be very helpful when traveling on an airplane, but it is a little discomforting while out in the world where it's good to know what's going on around you, even with the ambience awareness adjusted. Overall, I'm glad I made a good choice in these earbuds. I'm a fan of JBL speakers anyway, this solidifies it.

0don't buy from JBL , I bought this from JBL , website , found it has no base at all , nnot as they described, so returned it the second day after I got it , 1 days after the returned product got to them, I still did not get my refund back , contacted them 2 times . really bad service , if you got them at Amazon , you will get your refund a few minutes after they sanded your refund code , not so much BS as JBL website . , I will never buy a JBL ANYMORE .

A week ago I bought JBL Endurance Race TWS, unfortunately I could not try them on the day of purchase, I returned to my country and the left ear bud does not connect and does not work correctly, I have tried to communicate and find out if they have technical service in Ecuador and I have not been able. I would like my money back. I can read other reviews and they have had similar problems.

I recently bought these earbuds but sadly won't be keeping them. The sound is great, having the customizable EQ is a huge plus! I also really like the TalkThru and AmbientAware modes - both work quite well. However, these are some of the most uncomfortable earbuds I have ever tried. I've tried all the different ear tips and I can make it about 10 minutes before my ears are in pain. A lot of reviews say the fit is great, but know these do not fit and feel the same as wired earbuds and might not work for everyone.

I have owned these for a few months, and as a music producer I am really fussy when it comes to sound quality. These things sound BETTER than my JBL Tune 660NC headphones that I use when making beats.

I am mindblown by the quality from JBL! I also use the T160 earphones when mixing, and all of my productions until March this year where created using the JBL 2.1 Soundbar.

I recently bought some S*msung USB C earphones and they are AWFUL!!!

I have also tested the studio branded Aud*o Te*hnica ATHM50 and they do not replicate the sound that most people hear.

JBL gives me the sound that I expect to hear in a car, nightclub, decent quality cinema and also at home. I love you guys!

First of all I love the product design and features, very comfortable and useful touch controls. However after only around a week of owning them, my first pair became quieter in the right bud than the left, I returned them and got a new pair assuming they were faulty, and have had the same issue in my second pair! Haven't done anything extreme to them or whilst wearing them, simply walked around at work and at home with them in. Barely any sound in the right but as well as more recently, crackly distorted audio in the left. At a loss as to what can be done

These headphones are perfect for delivering sound quality while shrinking down the size of the earphone to make it perfect for fitting into your ear without any worry of it falling out during your exercises or exploring the outdoors. The only downside to these headphones is they are not really practical for everyday use do to their size and how easy it is to lose them.

I bought these about a week ago and have been trying to improve the bass but with no success. These had some nice features and great battery life, but unfortunately the low and mid-range sound quality just isn’t there. I installed the JBL software and played with the eq in the app but still can’t seem to improve the bass.

Best true wireless I've ever own! Excellent fitting and doesn't fall off when I do my jump rope or any hiit trainings. I like that I can set my own sound setting via the app to my own preference. It's small enough that and doesn't protrude out so much like my reflect flow.

Charger pack seems very lightweight but it does charge up fast!

So I used these headphones while out speed walking & working out and they were superb! They stayed in my ears which I have had trouble keeping other brands in place. This is huge for me. Best pair of headphones for me!

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.

This review marks the third set of JBL earbuds I have tested. They have all been good…some better than others. What’s the scoop on the Endurance Race TWS? Read on to find out.
Earbuds now are so technically advanced it is incredible and this pair is no exception. They pack a load of features:
JBL Sound, Secure Fit Twist lock, Dual Connect, IP67 rated, Smart Ambient Tec, Clear Call Mics and Multi Voice Assistant Ready….oh yeah one more thing, they work with the JBL Headphones App.
Opening the box is easy with just one security tab to cut. Minimal packaging, all recyclable, one notable improvement, neither the USB charging cable nor the extra ear cushions are in plastic bags. Kudos.
CONNECTIVITY Bluetooth 5.2 My Windows laptop and my Android phone both connected instantly. Google assistant was easy to set-up as well. I was hooked up and “OK Googling” in less than 10 minutes.
I have talked about twist lock and Dual Connect before. No surprises here, they are comfortable, stay in place and will work with one bud or both. With other earbuds I did prefer wearing just one while working or outdoors but with these I use both now because of….
SMART AMBIENT This function allows outside sound into the mix and has two settings. Ambient Aware: One can listen to music and still hear some of their surroundings. Traffic, for example. TalkThru: With this setting you can have a natural conversation without removing ones headphones. Wayloud quote, “Both of these settings work but can be overridden if you are listening to music way loud.”
IP67 WATERPROOF & DUSTPROOF. According to the manual these buds can sink into 1 meter of water for 30 minutes…I did not have the heart to fully test this claim. I do feel the need to prove they remain operational when wet. Some of you may remember my apple bobbing video, this time I showered with them in and rocking! I will spare you that video but they got wet and I am here to tell you, they still work.10
CLEAR CALL MICROPHONES That is correct microphones. There are four total mics on these two buds. Calls sound crystal clear and everyone I spoke to remarked about the clarity of my melodious voice. Another advantage of clear call is when talking to voice assistant. Texting by voice is actually advantageous when it understands the words I am saying…the first time.
SOUND These earbuds sound fantastic! Bass you can feel. Very articulate from bottom to top and they pass the Wayloud test. Yes. They can get way, way loud! A definite example of JBL sound.
The JBL Headphones app is pretty cool. You can control Smart Ambience, program how you want the buttons to function and there is a 10 band graphic equalizer. (Something I have been waiting for) There are several eq presets with space available for custom settings. While not necessary to use the buds, it is a great tool to make them sound the way you like and behave the way you need.
I like the way they look too. This is a great set of earbuds. Recommended by Wayloud.

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!

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!

I really enjoy these earbuds. The fit is amazing and unlike some of the other earbuds, while moving around and working the little tab keeps them in my ear. The pass through feature is really nice as well.

I REALLY wanted to love these ear buds. They have everything going for them. A clever comfort design with the in-ear support loops, 10 hour rated run time with 20 hours of charge support on the charging case (with a graduated "light bar" charge state indictor instead of a simple single green/yellow LED, both standard round and molded ear gels, and they work with the JBL "Headphones" app (a bit of an odd moniker) to check exact battery status, toggle ambient noise cancellation , and adjust EQ. And while the mid and high range sound clear and crisp they unfortunately have little to no low end or "bass punch". The dynamic range is so heavily skewed to the mid-range that even when I went into the control app and set the bass levels as I high as they could go my reaction was, "is that it"? (And no, I am not missing a key point. The ear bud form factor is not as conducive as a studio quality headset for dynamic range. I'm simply comparing this to other ear bud sets that I have and the bass is distinctly underwhelming.) And even while keeping in mind these were designed and marketed as an ear bud geared towards active sport users (running, etc), I just can't praise their sound like I have with so many of JBL's other products from portable speakers to high-end gaming headsets. Honestly, I'd give the sound 2 stars and the design/features a 4-5, thus my 3 star rating.

I bought these and love them. I have a pair of aftershocks but JBL are much better.
Highly recommend them.

These earbuds are great for everyday use: from the office, to the gym, to the golf course, to falling asleep with them in, I cannot say enough good things about them.
The snug fit is one of the best JBL has accomplished among their true wireless line. Running on the treadmill followed by a heavy lifting session had no impact on the fit these had in my ears. Even with the stability in the ear, they are comfortable to wear for extended time and never give that much of a "heavy" or "dull" feeling.
The only thing I would warn is that once music reaches its highest volume, the bass tends to exceed what the sound should actually be. For example, listening to any rap or hip-hop with bass in the chorus tends to sound "shaky" instead of the "thump" sound you typically like to hear in higher-end earbuds.
In all, I would highly recommend these earbuds to anyone looking for a good pair to carry every day. The USB-C charging case gives them seemingly endless battery life and the variety of fits using the silicone buds provide a comfortable fit.

These are killer headphones. Easily my favorite pair of buds. They fit comfortably, and do an excellent job at noise isolation. It even somewhat feels like they are noise cancelling. You can tap the left bud and it will let in ambient noise from around you, which really makes it seem like you don't even have any buds in at all. Bass delivery is powerful, really helps you to get in the groove when you are running or working out. These headphones are also waterproof up to 1M. I've only tried using them in the bathtub, but they work fine! Can't recommend these enough! Another JBL HOMERUN

These are actually really great headphones. I think that they punch way above their weight class and compared to their price they provide amazing quality sound. They also stay in your ears way better than you would expect and the bass they provide is great too.

These fit my ears really good. I have struggled with ear buds fitting, so that is a huge plus. The connection to my phone is quick and easy. Also, the sound is great. I have used these for phone calls and had no issues. Definitely a huge plus.

Awesome ambient sound and also sound quality they are perfect for exercise doing some jogging outdoors and not being In danger. The blue color it's awesome looks pretty amazing. Sound quality it's also amazing and connectivity it's pretty fast.

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.

I have taken these Endurance Race TWS buds on 4 runs so far and have lived the sound, fit and feel. First the sound, with the JBL Headphone app, you can not only choose the preset equalizer, but also create your own. It also lets you adjust the Ambient Aware to keep you alert of your surroundings during wear. The Twistlock tech features an ergonomic wing on the bud to hold it in place and I barely notice them in. Controls on the buds themselves is touch sensitive for ease of use.

The JBL Endurance Race TWS headphones are perfect for working out. They fit well and stay in my ears with no worries about losing one. I cycle long distances and these have been ideal for that and and going to the gym. The crystal clear sound is just amazing. They can get a quick charge for an hour in just ten minutes! That is super helpful in my world. You can't go wrong with these headphones!

The packaging is very sleek and convenient. The color stands out from other products.

The sound quality is not as great as I expected especially for ear buds that are targeted for runners. There is a airy sound and not the typical noise canceling that I am used to with JBL products. I like that I can use one or both buds at anytime however, the controls on the buds aren't anything out of the ordinary but can be convenient when going for a stroll.

The fit of the buds are more comfortable than I would have thought because of the design and stay put throughout the entire time of usage.

The battery life is standard for most JBL products and they seemed to have mastered the technology behind the bud features and use longevity.

Overall these are great buds that comes in a cool color and easy to transport.

The JBL Endurance Race TWS headphones are fantastic! I've worn them both at the gym and on my runs and they've worked perfectly. No worries about losing them because they stay in place. The sound is absolutely amazing. They charge quickly and have a great battery life. They will also quick charge in 10 minutes to give you an hour. I love these headphones.

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.

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.

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!

Great budget friendly workout earbuds,I like them a lot because my other earbuds I use in the gym kept moving of fall out during my workout the JBL RACE earbuds stay in place ,also they sound very good , You must try the different ear tips to make sure you have a good fit or they will not sound there best . They have the basic functionality you would need if running or working out wit the hear through mode and play back mode or volume control. For the price thease are great work out earbuds .

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.

Earbuds have exceptional sound quality. The case had an issue where it didn't charge right out of the box, but customer service was exceptional (sent an email about the problem, went through the troubleshooting, and they sent me a return label) and are in the process of sending me a new set. JBL is going out of their way to ensure a happy customer.

Overall very happy with these. Phone use is fine, but not always great when driving. For general music use though, and in the gym, they're just what I wanted. Not tried them running yet, but don't forsee any issues there. The ear fit is fine and secure and they're really comfortable too.

I bought these headphones about a month ago, and I'm genuinely more than pleased. The sound quality is GREAT and no matter what you're listening to - loud hard rock or bassy rap. The battery lasts really long. Never had any problems with getting them connected. They fit perfectly in your ears - you can run, jump and they won’t fall out (well, this didn’t happen to me personally). And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, I accidentally washed them with my jeans in the washing machine and was horrified. But, they work GREAT even after that. That's what truly "waterproof" means haha

These are great. They were a gift for my 14 year old on his birthday. The sound is awesome! Again, the sound is awesome! The price point was right too considering these were going to be thrown in a bat bag during baseball season.

ghost in kindle... Sometimes connected. Sometimes not!

Bought these for the wife, connected easily to her phone. Good fit and a good sound, decent battery life. Used for in the gym, no issues at all so far.

I got mine two days ago and they sound amazing.
But I’m having trouble with phone calls.
Calls are breaking up.
Maybe I need a day or two to figure out how to use them correctly.
But for the sound quality and price there’s nothing better, and I own Bose ,Beats and Sony.

Great product. Love the crisp sound you get from them and the noise cancelling aspect is great. The case is also quite robust and holds charge well.

Strong and clear Bass, good autonomy of the batteries, no distortion. I recommend 100%

I revived this product around a month ago. When I opened the product I was unaware it came with multiple fittings for the ear, which was good because the small fittings didn’t quite fit my ear. Having been on multiple runs every so often they would fall out, so I swapped to the bigger fittings and the fit was just perfect. The sound on these things are unreal and are easily as good as the AirPods I used to own and cost just a fraction of the price. I don’t really need to charge these for a couple of days and even when I do they charge so fast they don’t even need to be on for long. Overall I’m happy with them and would recommend if you was buying on a budget.
