JBL Endurance Run 2 Wired - Waterproof Wired Sports in-Ear Headphones, JBL Pure Bass Sound, Hands-Free Calls, Never Hurt. Never Fall Out. (Black)

I blame Microsoft for forcing me to buy these headphones. I used my Bose NC700 wireless headphones at work for four years, but after a Teams update from Microsoft, they only emitted static. I could listen to Spotify with them but couldn't use Teams effectively. Since I depend on Teams multiple times a day and our IT department gave me cheap, uncomfortable headphones that hurt my ears, I had to find a better option. After some research and consulting with Microsoft, I'm now stuck using wired headphones until they release an update that fixes the issue. I started looking for headphones comfortable enough for all-day wear. With large ears, I needed something that stays in place even when I move around my desk. I chose the JBL Endurance Run 2 wired headphones after my research. They don't work with my Samsung S22+ because it lacks an aux port. The sound quality is good for wired headphones, and the microphone has a button to pause music. These earbuds are simple and practical, though they lack volume control. They are much more comfortable than the cheap over-ear headphones provided by IT. They come with two different ear tip sizes for a better fit. There’s no tuning the sound through the headphones. No app for adjustable tone. Just straightforward in-ear headphones. Am I happy that I am now tethered to my computer? NO! However, I now have something comfortable with better sound than the cheap over-ear headphones that hurt after 10 minutes. JBL is known for quality products. For the price, these are a great value.

I can't believe the overall review on these earphones averages out to a 4.5. Maybe it's because athletes were expecting these to last forever, or have a tendency to do things that put a lot of stress on the cord, or it's ends, or they're getting tons of sweat or rain inside them. My perspective on these, I've probably tried at least 20 different corded earphones, and I'm talking premium name brands, plus the same with earbuds and headphones. I guess you'd say I'm always on a quest for the best, and sometimes for the lowest cost. For $20, I think these are the best. When I purchased these I wasn't expecting much. I've tried the JBL 110, JBL Live 100. For what they are, they're ok. I just did a side by side comparison with those, and these, playing specific songs I like, gave the best overall balance of tone, with much higher volume than those other JBL's, and enhanced dynamic presence on each song, as if I was hearing the song live in-concert. The drums and cymbals, the bass, the guitar, and the vocals, were all incredibly balanced, crystal clear with no distortion, incredibly present as if the band was right in front of me, and that was for studio recorded songs. I think one of the biggest problems with earphones achieving all the above, is partially related to how well they seat deeply in your ear, and remain that way. Most earphones don't achieve that but these do, and they do it extremely well. I had been thinking about these earphones for months, and kept talking myself out of buying them, due to the reviews for them only averaging out to 4.5, I typically won't buy anything on Amazon unless the review for it is over 4.5. Plus, I almost didn't buy these because I thought since they were for running, excercise and for active wear, that maybe the sound quality made certain sacrifices, compared to other JBL earphones. Not buying these would've been a huge mistake, they're not only the best sounding JBL earphones, they're the best earphones of any big name brand that I've ever tried, and I own some that cost way more than these. Now my plan is to order 2-3 more boxes of these, because JBL does have a tendency to stop making certain earphone models. As for the grade I gave this, I'm giving these a 5.0, because for $20, the sound is incredible, so incredible, I would've been willing to pay at least $50 for them, and still been happy with my purchase, the sound quality is that good. I've spent a lots of name brand earphones and this $20 pair puts an end to my earphone tone quest, I'm getting more of them as back-ups Now for the 4.5 reviews on here, and athletes or those that exercise and use these, I'm guessing with your phone in your pocket, and jumping up-and-down, twisting and turning, and putting stress on the ends of the cord of these, and stretching it out too far, or getting the inside of the earphones contantly wet with sweat or rain, yeah maybe they do stop working after a while, so what, they're only $20. If I was an athlete and purchased these for $20, and was exercising daily, and stressing and pulling on the ends of the cord, and drowning the inside of them with sweat or rain, and they stopped working after a few months, I wouldn't care if I had to buy another pair every few months, the sound the provide is incredible for $20. Stop whinning, suck it up and buy another pair if you're abusing the cord everyday. And if you're looking for something with a lifetime gurantee that's indestructible no-matter-what, and sounds this good for $20, please let me know when you find it. So whether you exercise or not, I dare you try these and say the sound they provide isn't worth $20. And if you find a pair that does sound better for $20, please let me know.

I was really getting fed up with earbuds that didn't stay put and that sounded screechy on high volume. But I also didn't want to pay nearly half a hundred dollars for super good headphones/earbuds, especially since I'm on a tight budget. Thankfully, with these babies, I didn't have to drain my bank account. They stay put in your ear and don't come out unless you really give it a hard yank. Normally I'm not a fan of the suction cup earbuds, but these are so comfy and lightweight you don't even notice that they're in your ear. That'll be helpful for when I'm listening to music while doing dishes or folding laundry. The sound is extremely crystal clear and doesn't sound screechy at all, especially at high volumes. What I also really like is how the plug is designed with a diagonal side, so the wires won't pinch as easily. These beauties are worth every dollar. I'm never buying another brand EVER AGAIN!!!

Maybe the most comfortable in earbuds I’ve ever owned. The design is such that they fit firmly into my outer ear but the plastic is quite soft, not hard, so no irritation. You do have to make sure that you have the correct Bud in the correct ear as the design is very specific for each. The sound is good but a bit muddy compared to another set I have but that set is uncomfortable and the buds fall out. 1 star off as it’s not 5* sound quality in my estimation. Still, the sound quality is quite good, good enough for the gym. I bought a 2nd set as backup I like them so much.

These do a good job of sealing in the ear orifice. Therefore. they provide a superior performance on voices and background noises other open air buds have failed to provide. They are relatively comfortable to wear, but fit snugly into the ear canal. The cord is only mildly inconvenient since I only wear them on the stationary bike and treadmill.

These headphones are very well made! I usually struggle with headphones that have interchangeable silicone earpieces, but these fit in my ear perfectly after I sized down the silicone earpieces! The volume and sound quality are superb! They are easy to use and have a good control button! Worth the money spent on them!

Absolutely fantastic quality sound and feel. Incredible value. 10 years ago I had. Bose noise canceling ear buds, very similar to these for over $100. These are equal if not even better quality for way less price (of course 10 years later). I need great ear buds for work calls and video conferencing. These are top-notch professional. Love them!

I purchased this product and used them from time to time. I was removing them from my ear one day and the ear bud and a part of the plastic casing that holds the ear bud on the headphone broke off. I barely pulled it and it broke.

It's very nice.. good sound quality. packing also good. But after 4 months it's get loose from the headphone jack.🤷

Esse fone me surpreendeu. Após eu fazer três compras de fones ''baratos'' em lojinhas de eletrônicos, e todos eles estragarem em pouco tempo, resolvi investir um pouco mais num fone original com fio. Pesquisando na amazon encontrei boas avaliações sobre esse e achei que o preço compensava bastante, visto que os três fones que eu comprei deram por volta de uns 90 reais no total, e todos iam e davam defeito de um jeito ou de outro. Comprei ele e estou usando não sei exatamente quanto tempo, mas já tem por volta de quase um ano. Não não deu nenhum problema, uso para treinar, no trabalho e sempre que necessário, a qualidade continua a mesma. Na época acho que paguei uns 100 reais. Ele as vezes entra em promoção e já peguei ele em promoção por 87 em outro momento. Não decepciona, ele também dá uma isolada no som externo e tem um encaixe maravilhoso no meu ouvido, muito difícil cair, diferente dos outros que eu já experimentei, detalhe é que eu não gostava desse fones com a borrachinha, mas esse eu gostei e deu super certo no meu ouvido. Enfim, fica a recomendação, quem tiver pesquisando, pode apostar nesse pois vale a pena e não vai decepcionar.

Perfect sounding nice and sharp good bass

I love these they stay put and the bass is heavy

Ya tuve unos previamente que se me perdieron. Por eso compré nuevamente este modelo, son resistentes, cómodos para correr y para usarse en el trabajo. Se ajustan bien a los oídos, buen sonido. Vienen bien empaquetados y el plástico se siente de buena calidad.
