JBL Endurance Race TWS - Active Sport Earbuds - Blue

I got these because they are advertised as waterproof. I use these for about 2 hours a week in a steam room; it is extremely hot, with tons of steam and water, and these still work flawlessly. Zero issues, damage, glitching, etc. despite putting them through some pretty intense conditions. The quality of bass for a $40 pair of earbuds is also good, battery life is solid, and have yet to encounter any issues with range. One small note - the "ambient noise" and "talk through" functions through the app are not bad by any means, but not amazing either. They allow you to hear ambient noise and talking, but the mix is usually too quiet to hear the music nearly as well in these modes. Rather than using these functions, I would recommend that anyone who wants to be able to hear voices or ambient noise to just use one earphone in those situations.

I don't write reviews frequently (if ever) unless I feel strongly about a product. I'm very picky about earbuds, both regarding fit and sound quality. My ears are small and I love music with good bass. What I look for: -Ear buds that don't fall out of my ears when I'm exercising or cleaning, and they need to feel comfortable for long periods of time -Good sound quality (bass, mids, all that good stuff) -Long battery life I kept coming across random earbuds brands on Amazon, and I made the mistake of purchasing a set for $35. Bad quality, uncomfortable and they felt cheap. Not these babies - rather, they're the opposite. The charging case is SLEEK and I love the light up feature when you open and close the charging cradle. The earbuds paired easily, and upon putting them in, there was 0 discomfort. My Jabra earbuds (spent $80 on them) never felt comfortable like this, and I began to have trouble connecting them over time as they began to slowly die along with their cradle. Sound quality: when you first open them, you can hear everything around you, but that's because it starts with the "Talk thru" feature on so you can hear your surroundings. Turn it off and it's normal. Once I started playing with the equalizer settings on the JBL app, I was able to test the sound quality really well. Even with the bass turned up on the equalizer of the Jabra app, my previous earbuds couldn't deliver sound quality like these JBL's. I went with JBL because my car sound system has JBL and have amazing sound quality. Couldn't have picked a better option (unless you want to spend $120+ on Bose or $99+ on Beats).

Compact, study and easy to use right out of the box with decent sound. They fit in the ear comfortably, despite feeling so large. They hold a charge fairly well, and recharge quickly. They can connect to the JBL app for further sound customization and different features. My only complaint is that the carrying case sometimes opens just slightly in my bag and they connect to my phone. Either I don’t realize it and drain the battery, loose my place in my audio book, and/or can’t figure out why the sound on my phone isn’t working.

Had these for some time. They seem to be going strong. Have no complaints.

I purchased these on three different occasions. The first pair I purchased in December, 2023 were great!! I workout quite consistently and heavily and sweat a lot. The first pair continued to deliver great sound and remain in my ear even during the most intense of workout sessions. Sadly, I lost my first pair two months after buying them (my fault) and purchased a second pair without hesitation. The second pair held up well until after a while they didn't. After a couple of years, one ear went bad until both earbuds eventually didn't produce any sound regardless of how charged they were. No big deal. I chalked it up as it being time to replace them. In May, 2025, I purchased a brand new third set. I don't know what happened in two years since the purchase of the first/second sets or if this set was just malfunctioned, but these buds could not handle my workouts. Sweat would cause one earbud (mainly the right one) to clog and not produce any sound and the sound quality of the other earbud was horrible. The volume would go very low (even with the volume turned all the way up) and the sound was garbled. UGGGHHHH!!! So disappointing!!! I dealt with them like this for three months holding out hope that these were just rare instances that would eventually correct over time. No such luck! Also the buds would loosen from my ears and slowly slide out of position (sometimes falling out). To remedy this I would wear bandanas to help hold them in place. SO ANNOYING!! I just don't want to deal with this anymore, so into the drawer of used and dead electronic items it goes along with the old cell phones, non-working chargers, and the second pair of lame JBL Race earbuds. I'm really bummed, but it's time to move on to better! One star.

Pros: Durability and Fit: These earbuds live up to their “Endurance” name. They feel sturdy, and the fit is secure, even during intense workouts or outdoor activities. The IP67 rating is a bonus for water and dust resistance. Battery Life: The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 10 hours on a single charge, with additional charges from the case extending usage even further. Decent Audio Quality: The sound quality is acceptable for the price, with clear mids and highs. However, the bass might not satisfy audiophiles. Cons: Stopped Working Despite Waterproof Claim: The biggest disappointment was that the earbuds stopped working after exposure to water, even though they’re marketed as waterproof with an IP67 rating. This undermines their reliability and the rugged image they promote. Comfort Issues Over Time: While the fit is secure, the earbuds feel uncomfortable during extended use. The design could benefit from more ergonomic considerations. Connection Problems: I experienced occasional Bluetooth connectivity issues, with audio cutting out sporadically. It detracts from the seamless experience you’d expect. Lackluster Bass: For earbuds marketed towards active users, the bass is surprisingly underwhelming. It doesn’t deliver the punch you’d expect for workouts or high-energy tracks. Price vs. Value: Considering the price point, I feel other TWS earbuds on the market offer better sound quality and comfort. Overall, the JBL Endurance Race TWS has its strengths, particularly in durability and battery life, but the waterproofing failure and other shortcomings make it hard to recommend fully. It’s a decent choice for those prioritizing ruggedness, but there’s significant room for improvement.

Since purchasing the JBL headphones I’ve completely enjoyed using them. There functionality and ease of use is top notch. The wireless headphones stay charged for a very long duration. There are a little pricey but worth the money. They fit well in my ears. However, after a few hours, the extra rubber piece that gives it a better hold to the ear, starts to cause pain. So I’m not able to wear and use them for a long time period. I’ve been impressed with the design until recently. A piece that covers the plastic ear tip has come out. Which has made it collect dust down inside the earbud. They are very hard to clean once the ear rubber size is taken off, especially if there is dust or a little bit of ear wax. I would still recommend and buy again. Hoping the construction and pieces are more durable.

Sound is great! Also, I sweat a lot when running outside and these have never given me fits in over two years of ownership. When they say they are sweatproof, they mean it! Love these ear buds!

may have option of colours and ANC

My boyfriend is over the moon when he received it. It’s a gift for him. He always had a hard time keeping earphones intact in his ears for more than a minute so I chose this plus he’s so much into strong bass. This couldn’t be more perfect. He doesn’t hate earphones anymore and he uses it all the time.

Acheté pour un cadeau, la personne est très contente, le son est clair, ils tiennent bien lors de ces séances de sport.

Brilliant earbuds for the price. Sound quality is excellent and the turning on and off of the noise cancelling is great. Fit well on the smallest setting for me and don't come out even at the gym or on a hike.

Me gusta que se escuchan muy bien, la carga es bastante duradera, son súper bonitos, pero se desconectan del móvil fácilmente con cualquier roce, y también se salen muy fácil de los oídos.
