We liked their sound, rugged build, water resistance, and secure fit, plus battery life is good with 8 hours of playback on a charge. The JBL Endurance Sprint are a great pair of workout headphones: They don’t fall out during active workouts and are designed to put up with abuse. If you’re planning to use these to take calls, you’re going to be disappointed: Friends and family reported muffled sound quality over the phone. We still prefer the tactility of physical buttons for this reason. The touch controls work well with taps registering most of the time, but they weren't flawless - we found ourselves hoping that our taps registered the desired input at times. (If you want a more well rounded sound, check out the OnePlus Bullets Wireless or RHA MA390 Wireless.)īattery life is rated at 8 hours and, when the headphones do go flat, you’ll be happy to know that they support fast charging with 10 minutes on the charger yielding an hour of battery life via its microUSB port. In terms of detail, the JBL Endurance Sprint leave something to be desired but keep in mind that these aren’t intended to be audiophile headphones. Mids are smooth and highs never sound harsh. Sound quality is typical JBL with a mid-bass bump and a good tonal balance. This rating is a bit overkill for your average pair of running headphones but it’s nice to know you can get them soaked in sweat without damaging them. To top off its rugged design, the JBL Endurance Sprint are IPX7 rated, which means it can survive being fully submerged in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes. In this regard, they are extremely effective and we never had the headphones fall out during strenuous exercise. This design ensures the headphones are secure in place without anything flopping around. Also the instructions and controls were very easy to understand/ use.One unique design element of the JBL Endurance Sprint are its magnetic earhooks. Sound quality is not great, no bass at all. buttonless touch control took some getting used to but I love them! Got them as a gift for Christmas and am taking them back.įalls off ears while running and if you try to adjust them they’re so sensitive, they’ll turn off or continuously skip to the next song. These earphones fit well in my ear, once I got them in. It is frustrating and a huge disappointment. You have to tap and slide the ear piece several times to turn it on. Clear sound, good for phone calls, and no issues with connecting to my phone. The touch controls aren't perfect and the battery life is less than ideal, but I can live with both of those issues. They stay in my ears even on long and sweaty runs. Once I got the right ones and learned how to put them in my ears, they worked like a dream. They come with several ear buds to find the right fit. Wanted this to work, but the swipe-control on the flat side of the earpiece, failed to function.this swipe-touch concealed control, was totally random in performing it’s job. Other pros: lightweight, good BT connectivity. The problem is that all controls (volume, pause, skip etc) are integrated into the earpiece, and any slight touch of the earpiece to adjust fit would inevitably pause or skip my music. These headphones sounded great and generally fit snugly, but would occasionally require adjustment during runs. It's frustrating and causes me to stop my runs or workouts. Will turn off completely if there is sweat contact. Can't change the volume if there's sweat. Everytime I try to fix the connection or wipe the sweat away it pauses the music or changes the song. My sweat goes into my ears and disrupts the connection causing the music volume levels to be inconsistent. The swiping motion for volume control basically doesn't work, because another function is always triggered on the litest first touch. I can't adjust the fit or touch in anyway without triggering a some function, which is particularly annoying when it accidentally hangs up calls. The downside is that the touch is too sensitive. I notice that the cord will catch on the back of my neck and pull when I turn my head, but it doesn't pull out of my ear. No problems syncing to phone, good sound and good battery life. They’re still great workout headphones! I haven’t tested the water resistant capabilities. It really doesn’t bother me that much since I don’t really need to adjust them very often. However, I think many of the reviewers exaggerate the sensitivity. I took off one star because, like many of the other reviews say, the touch sensitivity on the right earpiece is really sensitive. They stay securely on your ear so you don’t have to constantly adjust when your working out. I have been using these at the gym for about a month and I love them.
