Another hit for JBL!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These things sound absolutely great! Classic, amazing JBL sound, as usual. Battery life seems to be about as advertised, from both the earphones themselves, and the storage/charging case. Calls are crystal clear on both sides, and gestures work appropriately. The package includes multiple sizes of covers/tips, so fit shouldn't be a problem for anyone. You'll want to grab the app, so that you have full control. I'm not super impressed with the noise cancelling, but I really never have been on any product that claims it. The buds stay in your ears until you're ready to remove them, I was simply unable to shake them loose, no matter what I did, even doing my best Keith Moon impression. The JBL Endurance Race 2 is another hit for JBL, you'll have great difficulty finding anything more impressive at their price point!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent to use while working out or running! The twist lock technology along with the water resistant technology really puts these earbuds in the upper echelon of earbuds at this price point. JBL has done it again!

Worth trying!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I accepted to sample this product because I am always looking for ear buds that can fit my needs. I need ear buds that will stay in my ear while I workout and are comfortable. These ear buds definitely meet my needs. I mainly use earbuds when I workout or have to take a phone call. I expected these earbuds to perform very well. I love the different sized ear pieces that it came with. I used earbuds for the very first time during my workout and they did not disappoint. I do tend to get a little sweaty during my workout but these stayed in place and did not slip or fall out. Sound quality was exceptional. I LOVE hearing the bass. I think my favorite feature is the ambient aware. I can easily tune in or tune out the world. I also love that they don’t take forever to charge and one charge (depending on your usage) can last a long time. For me I can charge them once every 2 weeks and that’s me using them 3 days a week during my workout sessions. I took a few phone calls and it sounded just as good as listening to music. The charging case is pretty compact and easy to carry in my purse. The earbuds definitely helped me focus when I in need to tune out. The only thing I didn’t like about them were the design of them. I didnt like the little loop thing but other thank that I think these earbuds are great for anyone but they are perfect for someone who is active. I really enjoyed these and I recommend giving these a try.

Great buds for the price! Recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using these for both active and casual use, and I've very much enjoyed them for both the gym and around the house! Below are notes from my experience the past couple of weeks.
• Audio quality is quite good--I wrote this thinking the Endurance Race 2 were double the price! This is coming from someone whose humble headphone setup comes out to just over four digits.
• 10 band EQ is quite nice - if you have a significant boost set (≥3dB), turn your volume down before toggling the EQ!
• Very good staying power for running, even with my oily skin! Fantastic for intense work outs! With the minor pressure they have on the ear, I could wear these for hours and hours. For me, at least; my roommate was not really compatible with them, though he didn't try other tips or the jackets without the wings (check photo!). (He's also a little bit of a snob lol)
• The shape and shallow fit may challenge some ears in getting a perfect seal consistently; these do fit me better than some other TWS that have much longer insertion depth.
• Ambient aware mode (which is only slightly like other's "transparency mode") only helps by about 2-3 dB; it isn't noticeable unless media is playing at pretty low volume, such as 70-ish dB, at which point you can kind of hear through the seal anyway.
• Since I can't get a great seal sometimes, ANC isn't great until I put major pressure on them and my ear. I was able to test them in an airplane environment, where they're still usable if these will be the only thing you have, but not the best noise cancellation and/or noise isolation (or sound blocking) for the price.
And my biggest gripe... TalkThru. This is most like "transparency mode", but doesn't allow you to hear the media you're playing.
• TalkThru doesn't make much sense to me so far, only in that it lowers media volume by 95%; media is inaudible until the mode is changed. I guess it's so you don't have to take out the earphones, in which case, there is some convenience. Your dialogue will have to wait for you to open the app to make the change, though. This mode doesn't entirely negate the "talking with ears plugged" effect, unfortunately. There is no way to add TalkThru as a shortcut by tapping (like you can for ANC and Ambient Aware).
IMPORTANT: Don't forget to turn it down before changing from this mode! Especially if you're like me and you kept turning up your volume while in TalkThru. It's very easy to forget about when you turn off TalkThru and then you have the full power of the JBLs blasting in your ear (unless you have the volume limiter set!).

Overall, I do quite like these, and use these almost every day, gym or otherwise. I would definitely use these alongside my other gym setup, which is a set of hifi IEMs and a Bluetooth headphone amp!

Endurance Race 2 has Noise Cancelling and IP68!
on February 13, 2025
Posted by: wmlrogers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Noise cancellation works very well. I used Endurance Race 2 while mowing my lawn and was impressed with ability to still hear music. I have tried many headphones while doing yard work, although I like around ear type headphones the best, these are my new favorites. They are lightwweight and actually stay in my ears and sound great. Yay! Initial setup was real easy with my iPhone. Was listening in seconds. And IP68 too? It's the highest standard for water and dust resistance. Can't wait to use these on the water in my small boat. Satisfied and impressed. Yes, I recommend.

Comfortable/ high Quality sound.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using these earbuds while working out and listening to music while at work in the office. They're really comfortable for long use, and I like that they come with a rubber piece that touches your ear so it doesn't feel like hard plastic. The soft loop on the headphones fits perfectly in the ear and secures the earbuds. I didn't have any problems with them falling off. I also like that they have a noise-canceling feature, and it worked great in noisy places. Overall, these headphones do what they are intended for: outdoor activities or workouts. They're comfortable, have great noise cancellation, and the music quality is well-balanced with good bass. Great workout headphones or for office use on calls.
