JBL - Endurance Peak True Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Blue

So this is my first pair of truly wireless earbuds. I never invested in a pair because most of them didn’t have the hook around the ear, earbuds never fit right in my ears, so I tend to stay away from them. But when I saw these, with the around-ear hook, I jumped right on them. The setup is simple, the carrying case is the charge station, so just hook it up with the included USB, wait for the four lights to be a solid white, and then put the earbuds in, and let them charge. The red lights go out, meaning they are fully charged and ready to go. Pairing is easy, for the initial pairing, the ear buds will automatically power on when you put them on, it uses JBL’s power hook system, meaning when you open the ear hook, it turns the master (right bud) ear bud on, and then signals the second earbud (left) to activate as well. Once paired, the master bud is touch sensitive, swipe up to increase volume, swipe down to decrease, tap to pause, double tap to skip a song, triple tap to go back on a song. Tap hold to begin paring to another device. Sound quality is good for the size, adequate base, and generally blocks most ambient noise if the earbuds sit right. These are NOT noise cancelling, so these and airplanes work okay. In conjunction with my phone’s EQ settings these are decent. The pros: Light weight, easy to travel with, comes with carrying case that doubles as a portable battery for them. Sound quality is good for working out, swimming (yes these are waterproof, just don’t put them right back in the case, dry them off first) or for using them at the office. The cons: My biggest complaint, is that when receiving phone calls, it goes from stereo to mono, I only hear the person on the master bud, while the secondary just sits there doing nothing, and there’s no way to change it from what I’ve researched. My second irk is that I can’t tap-hold to summon siri like I can on my other headphones, I have to use my phone to call her up. If the cons don’t bother you, and you don’t plan on using it for phone calls a lot (I use them at work a lot, having to make calls for my job) then these buds are good.

I only have 2 problems with these. #1 they shut off after about 10 minutes so it's not good for all day wear. The standby time isn't good if you use these for phone calls. Because if you receive a call or pause your music, after 10 minutes you have to take them off and turn them on every time. #2 the left is completely dependent on the right being on. So if I'm only use the right, say at work. When it dies I can't just put the fully charged left in and use it . That a big one for me

I bought these earbuds to use on my runs 3x a week and loved them at first but after 2 months or so, the right earbud will not even light up. I even tried factory resetting. The left headphone cannot be used without the right. It will not show up as a device available for bluetooth use without the right earbud turned on and therefor, they can no longer be used. Disappointed, as I ensured they were always charged and ready to go. I really wanted to give these earbuds a great review and would have otherwise but would go with a different pair in the future.

I usually don't write reviews, but I have reached my limit with these. I've been through two pairs of these now. Both sets the charging case will no longer charge the right earpiece. Since the case is the only way to charge these, I now just have a useless earpiece. I was able to return the first pair easily enough through their customer service and get a new pair (about a week after I sent in the old pair), but then the new pair only lasted a couple of months before the charger stopped working again. This is with very light use, probably 1x or 2x per week. Uploaded pictures of the dead headphones in the charged case, with no charging indicator on the earpieces as a bit of further evidence. My $20 pair of crap wireless headphones have been a better, more reliable purchase than this garbage.

As an avid music and Podcast listener, I was looking for something a little more gym friendly. Normally I wear over the ear headphones, but those are more difficult to tote around, so compact headphones were next on the list. To start, I have used JBL products for years and have everything from their excellent professional studio monitors, to home stereo speakers, to bluetooth wireless speakers. Let’s get the minor quibbles out of the way first. While the sound quality is really nice, I wouldn’t say it is for everyone. These seem more flat response than many consumers will like. They will give you the music at is meant to be heard. If you are looking for bass, get over the ear headphones, as these are small and are obviously not designed to thump due to the driver size. That said, I do think the sound is clean and un-distorted which is all you can ask for from this type of headphone. Comfort is an issue. They are semi difficult to put on, but once you do it a few times it gets easier. After having them on for a while, my ears definitely start to feel uncomfortable. They do come with three sizes so you can figure out which is best for you. I am using the smallest size, but they still start to hurt after a while. This is why I normally wear over the ear cans. If you are used to earbud style headphones it shouldn’t be an issue. I guess I’m just too sensitive. If you wear glasses, these also may not be a good choice because of the loop that goes over the top of your ear. The good! The hardshell charging case and how it works is awesome. You simply put the headphones into the case (each has its own fitted slot) and charge both the headphones and case by plugging the case into any USB. Really cool design. Then if that wasn’t cool enough, the case actually has its own battery and charges the headphones remotely anywhere. This is an excellent design and should keep you in business for a LONG time. Kudos JBL! The case is a hard shell case and measures only 3.25L x 2W x 1.25D, so it will easily fit into most pockets, purses, etc. It is actually so compact that you may even lose it so be careful. It also has four tiny charge lights on the front so you can always see when you need a charge. Battery life is excellent as well. If you keep the headphones in the case when not in use and you are a casual listener, you will rarely need to charge. Another great feature is that these turn on and off automatically when you put them on and take them off. I have had zero issues with pairing and every time I put them on, they turn right on and sync to my phone perfectly. Take them off and stow in the case and they turn right off and start charging. Brilliant! Build quality is on point and typical JBL. These are even IPX7 waterproof rated, so running in the rain, or sweating while working out shouldn’t be any problem. Just not sure you want to jump into a pool, or the ocean with them on. The touch sensors are on the right side and work great. You get pause, skip track, and volume with different swipes and taps. This works for phone calls as well. You can even use the right one on its own if you are making calls in the car, etc. To sum it all up… I had a hard time trying to decide between 3 and 4 stars, but I ended up going with 4 because my cons are mostly personal and I actually prefer more of a true flat response sound to my music as opposed to colored like most consumer products. If you are used to this type of headphone and you like your music to sound like it really does, you will be happy with these. PROS: Flat response sound quality (great for how it should really sound, not for bass-heads) Excellent build quality IPX7 waterproof The charging case is awesome Easy USB charging Pairs with my Android easily Touch controls Battery life CONS: Flat response sound quality (this may not be for everyone) Comfort isn’t quite there with in-ear headphones (could be me) Not for people with glasses

Great wireless headphones to use... My mom luvs it!!!

I actually really enjoy these headphones I can do more with the hands free headphones one click , two clicks, three clicks. For mucis or hands free calling it is soo convenient and really easy to learn how to operate. Plus it's WATER PROOF!! I have gotten them mildly wet and they are perfectly fine although I do not recommend you shower with them even if advertised that its water proof I am personally not finding out to what extent. Very happy with the portable charger when on the go. Overall Very happy with my purchase.

Bought these as a Birthday gift for myself and they are horrible. Out of the box left ear piece had no sound, seems to be a common problem. Trying to follow advice found online about resetting them but can’t tell if it works or not because recharging them is a nightmare because charging box is functioning very erratically and have to constantly readjust buds as it’s constantly cutting off, like every few seconds. An absolutely horrible product from my perspective, please save yourself the frustration and buy anything else but these wretched ear buds.
