[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I REALLY wanted to love these ear buds. They have everything going for them. A clever comfort design with the in-ear support loops, 10 hour rated run time with 20 hours of charge support on the charging case (with a graduated "light bar" charge state indictor instead of a simple single green/yellow LED), both standard round and molded ear gels, and they work with the JBL "Headphones" app (a bit of an odd moniker) to check exact battery status, toggle ambient noise cancellation , and adjust EQ. And while the mid and high range sound clear and crisp they unfortunately have little to no low end or "bass punch". The dynamic range is so heavily skewed to the mid-range that even when I went into the control app and set the bass levels as I high as they could go my reaction was, "is that it"? (And no, I am not missing a key point. The ear bud form factor is not as conducive as a studio quality headset for dynamic range. I'm simply comparing this to other ear bud sets that I have and the bass is distinctly underwhelming.) And even while keeping in mind these were designed and marketed as an ear bud geared towards active sport users (running, etc), I just can't praise their sound like I have with so many of JBL's other products from portable speakers to high-end gaming headsets. Honestly, I'd give the sound 2 stars and the design/features a 4-5, thus my 3 star rating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. You may want to enhance these earbuds' audio output by using a 3rd party equalizer app which you can download from the Google Playstore or the Apple Store. We're always looking for ways to improve so we'll make sure to submit your feedback to our development team.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are actually really great headphones. I think that they punch way above their weight class and compared to their price they provide amazing quality sound. They also stay in your ears way better than you would expect and the bass they provide is great too.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The earbuds connected quickly to my cellphone via BlueTooth, and they fit perfectly in my ears! The sound quality is amazing and I experienced little to no background noise or interference. The controls are easy to use. The Google voice assistant is very helpful. I like the fact they are waterproof. I use them while I took a swim and in the shower. The JBL App is great! I'm able to customize the sound with the EQ! great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These fit my ears really good. I have struggled with ear buds fitting, so that is a huge plus. The connection to my phone is quick and easy. Also, the sound is great. I have used these for phone calls and had no issues. Definitely a huge plus.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have taken these Endurance Race TWS buds on 4 runs so far and have lived the sound, fit and feel. First the sound, with the JBL Headphone app, you can not only choose the preset equalizer, but also create your own. It also lets you adjust the Ambient Aware to keep you alert of your surroundings during wear. The Twistlock tech features an ergonomic wing on the bud to hold it in place and I barely notice them in. Controls on the buds themselves is touch sensitive for ease of use.

No worries about losing them because they stay in place. The sound is absolutely amazing. They charge quickly and have a great battery life. They will also quick charge in 10 minutes to give you an hour. I love these headphones.
