Endurance at peak
on February 7, 2023
Posted by: Pina
from California
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ear phone fits nicely over the ear. You would never think it could fall off. Ambient aware feature is pretty useful if you want to use this in a public surrounding or when you are out in the wilderness. As expected the sound quality is remarkable. The bluetooth pairing is easy too. Pretty good battery life. Will tryout the dust proof capability soon.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great headphones for working out

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are an amazing pair for working out. I really enjoyed using them but the case was a bit big. Overall, I really liked them though and I would recommend them for running and weight lifting.

Very good earbuds for use doing physical activity
on January 30, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] SOUND QUALITY: good.
FIT: Right side earbud is a little heavier. It's good they provide different sized ear tips, not a perfect fit to my ear but I got more used to them overtime. Very good for physical activity as designed (no movement).
PROS: App to adjust settings and control earbuds; good bluetooth range for phone calls and it is helpful to have a built in mic; charger port is easy to use (has charging indicator light), easy to use side controls (there was some overlap in the buttons for volume and other controls but I think I might be able to change it in the app? I have to investigate further).
CONS: Slightly difficult to get on and off; some sound delay between the two earbuds when on the phone; noise cancelling isn't particularly strong so wouldn't be good for loud environments

Perfect exercise head phones!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for a great set of headphones to use while exercising look no further. These work really well during high-intensity exercise sessions they never fall out! I can sprint or even jump rope with them in and they never fall out. They are solid. I also really love the “ambient aware” and “talk-through” modules on the app which allow you to still hear and pay attention to your surroundings. You have the option of toggling them on and off. The JBL app also allows you to modify the touch functions on the headphones for your specific needs. The syncing to my phone was a breeze, and I didn’t even need to use the instruction manual. Simply take them out of the case, put them on, turn on Bluetooth, and you're set to go. You will have to download the app if you want to take advantage of all the additional settings. They are splash proof so you can also wear in the shower if desired. I would highly recommend them.

JBL Outruns the Competition with Endurance Peak 3
on January 30, 2023
Posted by: danielmbirnbaum
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is no doubt the most active inspired headset offered by JBL. They’re solid - almost a bit challenging to deploy with just one hand, but once they’re set, they will not go anywhere. The Endurance Peak 3 has top sound quality. Call quality is great too and ambient noise isolation almost feels like noise cancelling. Now that I have these, I actually feel way more motivated to put my running shoes on and just GO! These will not disappoint. Many different bud sizes included.

Great sound, battery life and customizability.
on January 30, 2023

from New York, NY
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] **Sound**: Incredible. I would say that one of the best features of this pair is the sound quality. The box does not state that they have JBL Signature Sound, but they produce very high quality, JBL Pure Bass sound. The bass is strong, punchy, and bouncy (very impressive and addictive), both mids and highs are very clear. I also didn’t feel a disturbing sound distortion at the highest volume levels. As for the Ambient Sound Control options in the JBL Headphones App, TalkThru feels like an unnecessary feature for me. This applies to all JBL earbuds. It pretty much enables Ambient Aware and lowers your music to around 10%. So, it makes it easy to hold a conversation and still hear some audio. However, the volume is too low that the audio just gets lost if you are talking in public. On the other hand, Ambient Aware is a great feature, allowing the user to hear their surroundings while still clearly hearing the music. This is useful in public transportation or for street runs, and public workouts in the city to avoid dangerous situations. One aspect I noticed is that when there’s no music playing and there are no noises around you, the earbuds play this white noise that gets annoying after a while. Although it is subtle, I hear the white noise even when an audio is playing as well. However, considering that these earbuds are designed to be used with audio and they do not interrupt the listening experience at an insane level, this is not a huge issue; but it was worth pointing out. The JBL Headphones app provides a 16k equalizer that works wonderfully with the earbuds, allowing users to fully customize their sound experience. There are many presets to choose from and users can create their own audio presets as well which can be applied to all JBL earbuds that connect to the app. Many aspects are adjustable from the app and they work smoothly. Overall, I would definitely recommend this pair for the sound quality.
________
**Microphone**: The microphone gets the job done. I didn’t hear any complaints and it sounds good to the other side on calls. VoiceAware is a very useful feature that I enjoy on JBL earbuds. It is adjustable in the app, and it enables the user to control how much of their own voice they hear during calls. When I pick up a call, my selected setting via the app gets turned on automatically. This is a great feature because I tend to talk loud with earbuds in and this allows me to judge my own voice and adjust it accordingly to not bother anyone in public.
________
**Charging Case**: This case is extremely thick, big, and hard to fit anywhere. I understand that it has to be this way due to the earbud’s ear hooks, but I do not like the case at all. It also feels cheaper compared to the build quality of the earbuds. It is plasticky and noisy to the touch meanwhile the flap feels loose, and the hinge is squeaky. At least the battery life is good so you do not need to carry the case with you that often. There is a way of getting around not carrying the case which I will explain in the fit section below.
________
**Battery Life**: They never actually died on me, and they charge quite fast. I like that the battery percentage of both earpieces are visible in the app, in case you only use one for specific occasions (independent earbud use). Although the charging case has a LED battery level indicator, I could not get the case’s exact battery percentage to show up in the app. I can confidently say that I am satisfied with the battery performance of this pair. Side note: The orange USB Type-C charging cable that comes in the box is very short.
________
**On-earbud Control Buttons**: I like that they are customizable in the JBL Headphones app as usual. The touch control area is near the “B” on the JBL logo on the earbuds. The sides of the earbuds have a big surface area so operating the touch control smoothly takes a little bit to get used to. The JBL logo has a different texture, and it sticks out compared to the design it is surrounded by. So, it is not very hard to get used to and you can feel where to press which makes it easier.
________
**Fit**: This pair was not made to be used/worn with glasses. Although my glasses are very thin and lightweight, placing them near the ear hooks applies a very noticeable and painful pressure on the ears. You can also hear scratching noises when the glasses move and come in constant contact with the earbuds which is very annoying. Moving on, the ear hooks are very flexible and soft to the touch. The end of the ear hooks have magnets that act as a power switch with the body of the earbuds. This is why the ear hooks are called the “Powerhook”s. Therefore, technically, the earbuds can be carried and used without the huge charging case it comes with. Since the battery lasts ten hours and there is an on/off option on the earbuds, I found myself leaving the charging case at home. In addition, the earbuds are not ideal for constant putting on/off movements (e.g., taking off one of the earbuds often for quick talks). The ear hooks snap right into place with magnets when you take them off your ears which means that 80% of the time when you take off your earbuds, you are powering them off accidentally. The Twistlock technology works great. I used them previously in the JBL Inspire 700 earbuds which are a few years old and discontinued now but it is a good feature. It locks the earbuds right into place, stays in the ear well, and is quite comfortable as well. The earbud tips are also soft and create nice isolation.

Great Headphones that sound and fit great
on January 29, 2023

from Upstate New York
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These earbuds are great. I have some of the other style earbuds without the ear loops and those over time can fall out. With these they hold in very well and sound amazing. I really enjoy the fact that the buds turn off when the magnet engages. The charging case is a bit bulky but understandably so. Charging time is too bad either.
