Do not recommend
on May 5, 2026
Posted by: MusicLife
I bought these headphones a couple months ago and while the sound quality is great and they stay in my ears for even the hard workouts the DO NOT shut off and stay off. They say "power off" when i turn them off and then the second they are back in the case they turn right back on. I cannot even walk past my gym bag they stay in without them connecting to my phone this causes great annoyance especially when on phone calls. The fact that they dont turn off basically ever also means the battery does not stay charged at all. It is ridiculous. I would not recommend this model and I regret purchasing this model myself. I have had other JBL brand headphones and they do not have this issue. Go with a different model.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It appears the earbuds may be losing contact with the charging pins, causing them to turn on while inside the case. We recommend cleaning the charging pins and contact points with a cotton swab and a small amount of rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or debris. If the issue persists after troubleshooting, please contact us directly to file a warranty claim here: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/#contact

good sound quality, terrible noise cancelling
on April 25, 2026
Posted by: leafy
Got these a couple months ago. The sound quality is great, they fit comfortably, and they last an incredibly long time. However, the noise cancelling is terrible. it crisps up outside noise, and sometimes makes it louder to the point it hurts my ears even if Ambient Aware isn’t active. I can still hear through the noise cancelling really clearly, but i’m unsure if I just got a faulty pair.

We appreciate your feedback with our JBL Endurance Race 2. Please ensure you have an airtight seal by angling the earbud downward and gently twisting it into place. We also recommend trying all the included ear tip sizes to find the best fit, as achieving a proper seal significantly improves noise cancellation. Additionally, it is not normal for outside noise to become louder when Ambient Aware is turned off. Please try performing a factory reset. Take both earbuds out. Make sure that they are not connected to any Bluetooth devices. Press either the left or right earbud two (2) times, then hold it on the third tap for 5 seconds. Once done, put both earbuds back inside the charging case for 10 seconds while the lid is closed, and try pairing them again with your device to see if it fixes the issue. If you need further assistance, please contact us directly here: https://support.jbl.com/us/en/#contact

Great update
on April 4, 2026

This is my third set of this type of headphones and each new pair gets better. These stay in my ear solidly while running and swimming. These ambient and voice modes are perfect for racing-I can hear both my music and what’s happening around me. For treadmill sessions or cross training, I have put on the noise canceling feature and turn up the volume-the sound is great. I do wish they lasted longer, I end up buying one pair every years or so because they stop charging.

Worst buds I've ever had
on April 2, 2026
Posted by: Windex0621
These are by far the worst headphones I have ever used in 15 years. Absolute trash and Bose should be ashamed to have thier logo on these.
Lets start with the abysmal sound quality: whatever "water proofing" went into these ear buds made them sound hollow and limits the volume. While we're on the volume, it doesn't actually get louder for the last 3-4 clicks of your volume meter on your phone. Just shows you that the volume went up, but doesn't get any louder.
The buds just disconnect randomly and for no reason. Doesn't matter if you have the latest firmware, or good connection; sometimes one or both buds just decides to reset itself- sometimes multiple times in one song!
The app that allows you change settings and audio quality is a joke. Even tuning the sound exactly how you like it on any other EQ doesn't match the sound of thier app's attempt at an EQ for a trash ear bud.
Do not buy this product. I was a big Bose fan, but not after these. They're happy to shill poor quality products and hope they can get by on the reputation they had.

Keeps disconecting and after few seconds reconects
Response from jbl.comBy Customer SupportMarch 31, 2026
Thanks for your feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve. For our JBL Endurance Race 2 TWS, typically, the two earpieces should connect without any problems. However, wireless interference can sometimes disrupt their connection. To manually pair the earpieces and see if this resolves the issue, begin by forgetting or unpairing the headphones on your device. Then, manually pair the earpieces by placing both earbuds inside the charging case. Pair the headphones with your device again to check if this solves the problem. If not, proceed to reset the earpieces and then manually re-pair them. A reset can often resolve issues, similar to how restarting a computer or phone can solve many problems. Please note that resetting will erase all previous settings and pairings, so you will need to pair your unit with your devices again. To reset, remove both earbuds from the charging case, tap each earbud twice, then tap and hold for 5 seconds. After resetting, manually pair the earpieces together again by following the initial steps because the reset process does not automatically pair them; it only clears previous settings and resets the internal processor. Finally, pair the earbuds with your source device. If the issue still persists, please contact our customer support.

These headphones SUCK.
on March 17, 2026
Posted by: Plarmzzzz
These looked great on paper, but I honestly have nothing good to say about these. Despite the “ear lock technology” garbage, if anything touches these, they will come out of your ears. If anything sweaty touches them, they’ll pause/turn on voice command/ switch song. They are CONSTANTLY on and trying to connect from the charging case, thereby draining the charger stupidly fast. And worst of all, they sound like trash.
DO NOT BUY THESE.

Thank you for your feedback on our JBL Endurance Race 2. To avoid this, angle the eartip slightly downward to make it easier to insert into your ear canal. Gently twist the earbud to fit it securely into the shape of your ear. Then, continue twisting the earbud into your ear canal to achieve the best seal and secure fit. If you need more help, please contact our customer support.
