I didn't know waterproof headphones sounded good!
on March 4, 2025
Posted by: Lou Spowells

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've spent a lot of time with the Endurance Race over the past few weeks. I've always had good experiences with JBL products but I've never tried waterproof headphones.
The sound quality is great, on par with any other sealed-ear bluetooth headphones I've used. To be honest, they really surprised me. I don't really know what I was expecting, but just assumed that waterproof meant it was going to sound muddy or dead. I wouldn't have noticed a difference if they weren't advertised that way.
As for the utility? I'm not much of a swimmer and I don't spend a ton of time in the water. Not sure how these headphones would do while kayaking, wakeboarding or the backstroke. I do, however, take showers and like metal in the morning. So far they've held up great to 3 weeks of near-daily shower and out-and-about listening. The call quality seems solid, everything came through clear and nobody has trouble hearing me. Thought I'd test call quality in the shower just for fun. Worked great on my end.
They're pretty comfortable. I haven't used the 'lock in' type headphones in a long time so I wasn't sure how I'd take to these, but the thin rubber strip that locks them in doesn't bother my ear at all. Headphones usually have a break-in period for me...they break in my ears until they feel comfortable. These broke in pretty quickly and despite being a little heavier/bulkier than other headphones, they stay locked in just fine.
My only mild criticism is the sensitivity of the touch-portion on the headphones. It's a great feature I don't want to go without, but even light brushes will activate the pause/noice-cancel features. I'd imagine that might get annoying for swimmers...for me, I just have to be more careful when washing my hair.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Endurance Race 2 headphones are certainly worth checking; great bang for your buck; buds you can wear for both workouts and general use. The fit is excellent, as is the battery life, and the sound quality is pretty good too have multiple size of ear pads

pros: they fit great, cant really feel them in the ear. Decently loud, seal great in ear. sound great with some eq adjustment. amazing noise canceling, can't hear lawn mower with them at 1/2 to 3/4 volume. charge fast
Cons: they sometimes randomly disconnect but if you wait a second they connect back. are sometimes weird connecting to laptop.

Sounds great and stays put

Once I figured out how to customize the ear buds in the app, everything works really well. The music sounds great based on the EQ I chose and the best part is that they stay in my ears comfortably with no slipping out during my runs.
