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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

4.5/5 stars for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the ear buds on a daily basis. My #1 pro for them were how well they stayed in my ear no matter what i was doing. They’re compact and feel very high quality so im sure they'll last; the sound didn't disappoint either. The only con i have (and its more nit picking) is the way the earbuds were a little difficult to place back in their case depending on your hand size.

Twistlock works and the sound quality is good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm no stranger to earbuds and headphones. I have probably had 6 or 7 pairs in just the last year. My problem is finding ones that are comfortable to wear for hours on end. The JBL ones have usually been a good fit and quality and this endurance racer 2 is no different.
Unboxing you get two manuals, a charging cable, different size ear canal pieces, a case that also charges, and the ear buds. You will want to try all the different ear canal pieces and even mix and max sizes to find which ones are comfortable for you. I ended up with two different sizes as that's what was most comfortable for me.
Once you find what's comfortable, make sure to connect these to the JBL app. In the app you can update firmware, make EQ changes, change sports modes, and other options. If you do not have the app you will be missing out on some key features. Also in the app there is a relax mode, this mode allows you to play different environmental sounds, camp fire, running water, waves, etc. This was a nice surprise as I love having white noise when I sleep or just use the sounds to relax.
The twist and lock feature seems like it will be great for runners, hiking, etc. When I first put them in my ear, I had trouble with this feature and that was because the rubber that goes into the ear canal was too large. Once I found the correct ones for my ears, the lock in place felt pretty stable. I have yet to try them with any vigorous activity, but they seemed like they would stay in place.
Sound quality is very good and being able to adjust the EQ you can find something that works for you. I used these with my iPhone and laptop, even at low volume I could clearly hear everything I was listening to. The noise canceling worked very well and I could not hear anyone who was trying to talk to me even at lower volume. The talk through worked as well, but I still had to mute or pause what I was listening to, as I did have some trouble hearing them.
Overall, these are nice earbuds from JBL, the battery life seems good and the carrying case is small enough to place in your pant pocket. I would recommend these if you needed a good overall earbud that can work with an active lifestyle.

COULD BE BETTER😭

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are pretty good. The sound quality is always A1 when it comes to JBL. The noise canceling feature is great. The ambient noise feature is great and it even has a talk thru feature. Everything works fine however, the user controls aren’t as seamless like their other headphones for me. The sensor button on the headphones weren’t always allowing me pause or play, but that’s just me.

Pretty good JBL product. Has a few flaws
on July 3, 2025
Posted by: Matt Forzano
As far as comfortable and sound quality goes. They are amazing! I always use JBL speakers and headphones. They sound so good, there durable, I use the charge 5 on job sites and I abuse that speaker. Still works like it's brand new. These earbuds dont fall out, there so comfortable, and sound great.
They do have one issue I've found... for whatever reason the ear buds will randomly turn off, and then turn back on and connect. During long runs or intense workouts its super annoying but it doesn't happen often.
The other issue is the only way to turn them on is by placing them in the charger and then removing them. Sometimes you have to wiggle the ear buds for them to make a connection in the charger, and I've only had them for 2 weeks, not sure if its a product defect and I should contact JBL or if this is just how they are... its an inconvenience but the product is still nice and at the end of the day im happy. I hope the next generation that address the problem. It's charging and power on/power off features could be improved.

Excellent customizable sound and secure fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Endurance Race 2 offer an impressive set of features, rich sound, and an adaptable design for a secure comfortable fit during a variety of activities. The earbuds have a solid feel, with a soft rubber exterior that protects them and prevents slipping during insertion or removal from your ears. The earbuds come with a variety of ear tip sizes and an option to remove the locking wing. I was able to find the perfect sized ear tips and prefer the locking wing since it kept the earbuds secure and was also very comfortable for extended periods of use. It was nice to not have to constantly adjust the fit since the headphone stayed in place. The touch controls are easy to navigate and very responsive.
The JBL Headphones app enables you to customize the JBL Endurance Race 2 headphones and provide the best audio experience for each user. The fully adjustable equalizer is great to get the exact sound you are looking for. The ambient aware feature helps keep you aware of your surrounds when you need to and the active noise cancelling keeps unwanted sound out when you need to focus. The earbuds provide a substantial amount of noise reduction in loud environments. The Headphones app offers a variety of customizable options like how much noise to filter out or how much of your own voice you hear while on call. There are even options for playing relaxing sounds like a campfire, stream, or forest. The sports modes provide customizable presets where you can set whether you want to be isolated or aware of sounds around you and allows for a different equalizer setting for each mode. One thing I didn’t like about these modes is that there’s no way to switch between them using the touch controls on the earbuds. You have to use the app to make these changes. However, when this mode is disabled, you can use the earbuds to quickly switch between ambient aware and noise cancelling modes when needed. The call quality was satisfactory on both ends of the calls, with no discernible issues or audio dropouts.
The battery life on the JBL Endurance Race 2 earbuds has been impressive. I have not had a time where I ran out of power. The charging case is compact and provides convenient and secure storage when not using the earbuds.
Overall the JLB Endurance Race 2 earbuds offer an impressive amount of features and capabilities that should work for anyone, especially those with an active lifestyle looking for a secure fitting and nice sounding set of earbuds. The earbuds are simple to use yet still let you customize the fit and sound experience to your personal preferences.

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.
