PErfect Workout Companion
on February 17, 2026
Posted by: JiovanniC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Endurance Run 3 are the kind of earbuds that don’t try to be flashy. They’re designed specifically for workouts, built for movement, sweat, and high-energy sessions - and they deliver exactly what you’d want from a gym companion. The sound signature is fun and slightly v-shaped, perfect for powering through workouts. The fit is secure and adjustable, allowing for a flipped, more secure fit wrapped around your ears. Overall, the Endurance 3’s are a solid option for workouts, sounding exciting, fitting securely, and holding up during tough workouts!

Rocking buds that stay put!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Endurance Run 3 are very nice wired earbuds. The best part about them is the always rocking JBL sound! The twistlock system is great - these earbuds stay put! Very comfortable, once inserted you almost forget they are in your ears. The microphone is also very good for calls. A great all-around pair of earbuds

Great sounding classic wired option
on February 11, 2026
Posted by: RyanG
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I reviewed the endurance run 3 wired headphones and enjoyed the experience. I am not fond of earbud headphones as they cause a discomfort to my ears. These headphones created an enjoyable sound experience and made me forget they were in my ear due to the light and compact layout. The key takeaways from evaluating these headphones is they produced a great sound with a deep base sound and great vocals. These are also a great option to use on a computer and a headset for your device. The headphones were able to reduce surround noise providing an overall good sound and listening experience.

Comfortable, flexible, good value from JBL.
on February 10, 2026
Posted by: StephenM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent these for a review, and I’ve been a huge JBL fan for more than 40 years. That makes this review a little difficult for me. Maybe I’m spoiled by my daily earbuds but these were just ok. They come with three sizes of ear tips for the twist lock buds, they’re comfortable, and flexible in that the buds can be used in either ear. Phone calls were clear. But listening to music they just didn’t have the fullness I’ve come to expect from JBL. When hooked to my iPhone through a lightning-3.5mm adapter, I was able to exercise and ride my bike without them falling out. They were secure and extremely comfortable. They’re inexpensive, and sound better than a lot of other headphones in their price range, just don’t expect to compare them with more expensive JBL buds.

We acknowledge your feedback regarding the earbuds. We understand that the music playback may not have the fullness you've come to expect from JBL, especially given your long-standing appreciation for the brand. We appreciate you sharing your experience, noting their comfort, secure fit, call clarity, and value for their price point, while also highlighting the difference compared to more premium JBL models.

Same great quality as earlier models, but with a c

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Endurance Run 3 earbuds are similar to earlier models of the JBL Endurance Run wired earbuds (and their predecessors from the brand that became part of JBL), but with a few improvements. The newest model is has a slightly smaller twist-lock (see photo comparison), which is a bonus for those of us with smaller ears that sometimes struggle to keep in-ear buds comfortably in place for hours, and a better water resistance (IP65) rating compared to their predecessors. Like their predecessors, these earbuds are comfortable to wear for hours, connect to each other magnetically, stay in place through sweat and lots of movement, have a well-placed microphone for phone calls and video conferencing calls, and do a great job of blocking out the sound around you without having active noise cancelling technology. As a set of wired earbuds, there's nothing to set up-- just make sure you have the right fit (3 ear tip sizes are included to customize your fit), plug them in, and go. The sound quality is great and the microphone is clear. Personally, I find these especially helpful for video conferencing calls on the go since my laptop is one of the few places that I still have a standard headphone jack, especially when I need to be able to block out other sound around me or keep a conversation confidential (my office has thin walls), but those who have standard headphone jacks on other devices will find them just as useful there as well.

Best bang for your buck!
on January 24, 2026
Posted by: KeriC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work in an open office concept and I have to make a lot of phone calls during the day. These make it so easy to do that. I also have issues with fit on headphones but these don’t cause my ears to have any pain. People on the other line during the phone calls do not hear any noises around me.

Lightweight and comfortable for long wear.
on January 24, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones are very comfortable to wear, they’re very lightweight and feel great even after a few hours, and yet they don’t fall out easily. The noise cancelling capability is surprisingly decent. Love that the cables don’t tangle and don’t bent. The 2 earpieces connect magnetically to help make storing away neat. The entire build is smooth, there are no crevices or cracks or sharp corners. These work well with my work and personal laptop, my voice comes through clear to the other side and the audio on my side is decent. These are not the best for music though, the sound is kind of “thin” and there’s no adjustment you can make, including the volume, which I was disappointed to find missing. You can start and stop the audio but cannot adjust the volume. These headphones come with different sizes of ear piece, if you change them out, make sure you press them in really securely, coz one of them dropped out after my first use and since the rubber is clear, I was just lucky to be able to find it on the carpet; sometimes I wish the rubber pieces are more visible so they’re easier to find if dropped/lost. I appreciate the semi-angled jack, it will probably add to the longevity of the cable as it will get bent less. These don’t come with any carrying bag/case, which would have been a nice touch.
These will probably not be my go-to headphones for music listening or movie watching due to the lack of volume control and the thinner sound coming through, but they will be a great replacement for my work headset as they take up way less room in my backpack and won’t mess up my hair.

Really wonderful earphones for everyone
on January 20, 2026
Posted by: DeepV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The earphones are great for my everyday exercise. It fits well in my ear like no other earphones. Bass is amazing. Wires are sturdy. Comes with 3 different size of ear pieces whatever works best for you. Audio quality is nice. Stores in super small space, its wired so no battery. Its definitely worth it.
