JBL Endurance Race 2 True Wireless Active Earbuds Waterproof and Dustproof

Although I enjoy the sound quality and battery life, I think the first version of these headphones was far superior. These do feel lighter than the previous version, which is nice, but the seal on the earbuds is not as tight, so sound leaks out more easily. The biggest flaw is that the left earbud disconnects randomly—especially in the middle of a run—and the only way to fix it is to place it back in the case and reconnect it. If these issues were resolved, this would have been a great step forward. Unfortunately, I believe these headphones took two steps back.

My wife bought these for me knowing I was looking for something to use while running or lifting weights that wouldn't come loose. I dont like the bulky headsets, and these airbuds are positioned as a wireless. option that "locks in" to your ear for stability. Unfortunately I have found that any kind of movement just rattles them loose. I am frequently picking them up off the gym floor or from the street when on a run. Any little tilt of the head causes them to come out of position. Maybe it is the shape or size of my ears but I've tried switching out the 3 different sized rubber pads and it never made any difference. Just fluff. They are more of a distraction than anything, as I am constantly readjusting them or trying to prevent them from falling out in the middle of a set. Even today all I did was a brisk walk and they need so much attention. I'm fed up. Pretty disappointing, as I do otherwise respect the brand for sound quality and durability. The sound quality is fine but as far as functionality and practicality for an athletic user, these are a no-go.

I bought these headphones a couple months ago and while the sound quality is great and they stay in my ears for even the hard workouts the DO NOT shut off and stay off. They say "power off" when i turn them off and then the second they are back in the case they turn right back on. I cannot even walk past my gym bag they stay in without them connecting to my phone this causes great annoyance especially when on phone calls. The fact that they dont turn off basically ever also means the battery does not stay charged at all. It is ridiculous. I would not recommend this model and I regret purchasing this model myself. I have had other JBL brand headphones and they do not have this issue. Go with a different model.

Got these a couple months ago. The sound quality is great, they fit comfortably, and they last an incredibly long time. However, the noise cancelling is terrible. it crisps up outside noise, and sometimes makes it louder to the point it hurts my ears even if Ambient Aware isn’t active. I can still hear through the noise cancelling really clearly, but i’m unsure if I just got a faulty pair.

nice ear buds the noise canceling works well i can hear my music when i mow, the sound quality is good, and they don't bother my ears when i wear them for long periods.

Color is beautiful in person sound quality impeccable highly recommend and look forward to purchasing more items in the future.

My worst earbuds ever. The overall volume is so low that I have to put the volume to max so it will reach the same volume as my previous ones. On top of that despite being IP68 rated after taking a shower in them the right side got permanently even quieter. Now the only way to reach understandable volume is by a third-party volume booster. The fin which meant to be for locking the buds in your ears is also a joke. It might have worked with a different design, but because the buds are so big and heavy it's so imbalanced no amount of fin would make them stay in if you just do any exercise. It definitely wasn't designed for sports. Additionally, I don't know what's going on with the connection, but there's also a consistent distortion during calls, often full silence.

This is my third set of this type of headphones and each new pair gets better. These stay in my ear solidly while running and swimming. These ambient and voice modes are perfect for racing-I can hear both my music and what’s happening around me. For treadmill sessions or cross training, I have put on the noise canceling feature and turn up the volume-the sound is great. I do wish they lasted longer, I end up buying one pair every years or so because they stop charging.
