Best Earphones for Workouts Yet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had these earphones for three days now and can say they are the best workout earphones I have used yet. The sound quality alone is great, but the fit and noise exclusion is by far the best I have experience. I was concerned that true wireless earphones would easily fall out of my ears. After doing wall balls, pushups, kettlebell swings, and riding my bike trainer, I now confident these won't easily fall out. The noise exclusion is great and with a simple tap of the left earphone I can hear what is going on around me. I do wish that there was better volume control, but with the ambient sound mode I can lower the overall volume when in a quiet environment. That said, compared with headphones and earphones I have owned in the past, these are the best.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bottom Line: These headphones are terrific, but the pairing technology is *not quite* on par with the sound quality, battery life and fit. I run approximately 20 miles per week and have come to realize there aren't many models the check all the four boxes I mentioned. For the headphones that now cost $100+, I expect them to come pretty close.
Pairing: Having had the headphones for most of a week and exclusively using them, I have only been able to pull them out of the case and immediately use them twice. I've tried un-pairing, re-pairing, turning off/on, troubleshooting using the directions and contacting customer support.
Sound: The sound is amazing. Listening to music of a wide variety all sounds terrific and the volume is more than sufficient. The only slight drawback is that the headphones don't have a direct volume control without having to go into the Siri/Voice Assistant, but I'd prefer that to the alternative of trying to squeeze in dedicated volume buttons to the unit(s).
Battery Life: I consistently get close to the advertised battery life (about 5 hours). The charging case is a very cool side accessory as it has a decent weight to protect the headphones in the event of a drop/fall.
Fit: This may be the best part of the headphones. The units themselves fit snugly into the ear, without relying solely on the fins for comfort while being active. Compared to a pair of BeatsX or Bose SoundSport, these are far more comfortable and can be worn in the ears for much longer periods.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks for your review. Your feedback will be communicated to the proper department to improve our current and future product line.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used many wireless ear buds, I workout a lot and I sweat too much at the gym. Enter JBL UnderArmour buds. I was skeptical before trying these buds. when I first opened the box, it looked premium. The charging case is sturdy, looked like it can withstand occasional droppings. The earbuds looks stylish with underarmour logo.
Positives : * The fit is excellent * The sound is amazing, especially the bass * Talk thru and bionic hearing are cool features * 20 + hours charging. ( thank god , cuz I am lazy to charge lol) * Its really sweat proof * Bluetoooth connection is solid with no droppings Cons : * The charging case is not much attractive
Finally, I will rcomend this product to all fitness freaks out there and they dont dissaopint.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are very secure in your ear. Anyone who works out or is on the move a lot will appreciate the tight fit. I’ve had ear buds in the past that would feel like they could fall out at anytime. Excellent price point for the quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got mine 3 days ago. I couldn't be happier. They sound really good. The bass is good sounding in your ear. I would recommend these to all the people who like true wireless ear buds.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant about these because I was sure one would fall out and I would lose it, also because of battery life. I was wrong. These things didn't fall out even after trying to shake them loose. Very comfortable and not near as bulky as around the neck buds. I love the charging case (with a 20 hour battery supply!) because I can throw them in my pocket and not have earbuds dangling from my neck when not in use. The sounds quality is amazing but if you've owned JBL products before you already know and expect that. The talk thru feature comes in handy when I need to have a quick conversation. I just tap the button and I can hear normally. The ambient aware is something else that I really like and a feature that I use regularly with my JBL Everest earbuds. I am very very impressed with these. JBL continues to amaze me by not sacrificing sound quality while also having great battery life and features. Highly recommend these!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaging is very sleek and convenient. I like how the ear buds come with 3 different sizes to fit small to large ears. These buds do not have a lot of bass which I was truly expecting based on other products from JBL. That was a disappointment. Pairing the buds are a breeze and some of the features are standard/similar to other ear buds. All in all they stay in place and will take a while to get used to but a very good product.
I bought mine a few weeks ago and they work well. These are the first true wireless earbuds I've bought. My only slight complaint is the case for them, because I feel like they do not charge some of the time. Occasionally my Bluetooth connects to them while they're supposed to be in the case charging, but I guess the connection between the charging prongs in the case and the earbud receptors are not the best. Other than that, I like them.
