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

To preface, I'm a bit of a sound snob. I appreciate balanced sound with some clear highs and deep lows. These JBLs deliver!I needed a pair of wired, NOT Bluetooth to replace my Apple Earpods that kept falling out of my ears at the gym but could match or come close to the sound quality without breaking the bankI tried at least five sets and these were the only ones to fit the bill!ProsComfortable, secure fitGood sound quality, nice deep bass clear vocals, and no glass piercing highsExcellent valueConsCables can be a touch on the stickier side making them more likely to tangle similar but better than the Apple Earpods5/5 stars, one of the best finds of the year

Sound good. Comes with 3 different size inserts for different ear sizes. They stay place pretty good except for when I'm eating or snacking on something, which isn't that often. They're not bass monsters or anything, but they sound good. Just a good quality, basic set of buds for $15 at the time of purchase. I'd buy another pair if I needed to.

The JBL Endurance Run 2 Wired are solid workout earphones, especially for the price. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and stay put during runs or gym sessions. The waterproofing is a big plus, making them sweat- and weather-resistant, so I don’t have to worry about using them outdoors. Sound quality is clear with decent bass, which is more than enough for workouts.The only issue I’ve run into is that sound can leak into the mic when I’m on calls. Friends sometimes mention they hear my music faintly in the background, which can be distracting. It’s not a deal breaker if you mainly use them for music, but it’s something to keep in mind if you plan to take a lot of calls.Overall, these are a reliable pair of wired sports earphones with great comfort and sound, but the mic feedback keeps them from being perfect.

I never write reviews, but these headphones are SO GOOD I needed to say something! They stay in my ears, they are versatile (you can flip them upside down to loop over your ear), they are comfortable, and the sound is shockingly amazing! The microphone is also good, and there is a button for pausing. The only minor thing I don't prefer is there is no volume toggle on the microphone, like most wired headphones.It's been so hard to find quality, comfortable and long-lasting wired headphones that are affordable. I am so glad I stumbled upon these!

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-upsNow 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.
