Hey, what’s going on guys this Kris here. And in this article, I’ll be giving my review of the JBL Endurance run Bluetooth version. So let’s get into it.
JBL came up with their new JBL Endurance series. Which was a series specially designed for sportspersons.
They had a couple of earphones in that series like the JBL endurance dive, jump, sprint, etc. And each earphone had its own flavor of sound.
But the basic earphones in the series were the endurance Run. Which I also revealed on the channel. And a lot of you guys also loved those earphones.
JBL recently launched a Bluetooth version of the JBL endurance run. So basically both of these earphones are identical in everything.
Except this is the wired earphones and this is not. This is a wireless one. But rest remains the same as the quality of the sound quality and all that stuff.
I just wanted you to know these guys because if you’re running low on budget then you can also go with the JBL endurance run, the non-Bluetooth version one.
And save a lot of cash and get some things with these earphones. But anyways that was it for earphones. We will discuss more the design, build quality, comfort, battery life, sound quality, and price later in this Article.
This is the black color and this does come in red and green as well. So you can check out all the colors from the links down below in the description.
Other than that, we have the JBL logo on the top. And here it says and the endurance run BT. Now here are some features, Wireless and sweatproof. Now here it also says Bluetooth. And as we move further we can also see some contents of the box.
That is one earphone, three sizes of ear tips, ear hooks, and a warranty card. Now here it also says the frequency response of these earphones is 20 Hertz to 20kilo hertz.
And it says 8 millimeters or driver. Now on the other side, it also says the tag line which is dare to listen. And as we move further we have some specs of these earphones that is hands-free calls.
And just like wired endurance run, this also have magnetic buds. And this also has flip hook technology.
So this means it will stay in your ears whether you are running or doing any type of workout. So this is the JBL technology that helps the earphones to stay in your ears. On the top, we can also see the battery life of these earphones which is 6 hours.
We’ll test that out in a minute but it also says 15minutes of charge will give you one hour of playtime which is amazing.
Now on the back, we can also see the MRP of the device which is 3200 rupees. And this cost a little less than that. We will do a price reveal later in this video.
So that was the reading of the outer box. And now if you open it up, we can see some more features of these earphones.
Like the twist-lock technology, the Flex soft comfort, lightweight design, and secure fit. Now as you can see the earphones are here sitting nicely in the package.
And one more thing to notice here is that some more features about these earphones. Here you can see that you can use flipbook technology.
Like you can put them like regular earphones or when you’re using it for running then you can also
put it behind your ears. And this way there won’t fall out easily.
Now it also shows it has a button to answer calls or change tracks or play pause songs or use Google Assistant or Siri.
So that was all the specs of these earphones and now let’s just take them out! So here are the earphones sitting nicely in the package.
So let’s just take them out. So here are the earphones and as you can see they are pretty similar to the JBL endurance run wired version.
The only difference here is that these are the wireless version and these are the wired version. And you have to pay a little bit of extra price to get the wireless version.
But other than that the earphones are feeling very solid. We have these magnetic buds which are awesome to use as sports earphones. And have these two compartments.
One is I guess for the battery and the other has the inline mic and all the buttons to change the songs using google assistant or Siri.
And the great thing is that this also has a volume rocker. So you can adjust the volume without taking the phone out of your pocket. But we have the whole video to admire these earphones.
So let’s just put this aside and see what else do we have here.
So we also get this tiny micro USB cable to charge these earphones. Which is great! Other than that we also get two extra pairs of ear tips for a precise fit.
And a very thick user manual and Quick Start Guide to get you started. But we are pro at this so we don’t need this I guess. But that’s pretty much it for the unboxing of this JBL endurance run Bluetooth.
Now let’s move to the review of these earphones. And now let’s start this review by talking about the design first. So design-wise JBL has designed these earphones especially for sportspersons.
So that’s why this has so much of a sporty look to it. The earphones feel very rugged and have this matte finish on all the parts. So it makes them a very premium feeling pair.
Now, these do come in all the sports colors including red, green, and black. And you can check them out from the links down below in the description.
But other than sporty colors, the earphones are also very lightweight earphones. I mean this is not very lightweight that it will make you feel like you’re varying nothing in your ear.
this does have enough weight a certain weight to it which makes you feel like you’re using very premium high-quality earphones.
Along with this decent weight, the earphones also have decent comfort levels. As the earphones are meant for sports activity. So the JBL might decide to make the earphones a little bigger.
So that it fits tightly in your ears. But this sometimes produces some pain in your ears like after 2-3 hours of listening. And maybe if you have smaller ears then might face this problem early on.
But there is a workaround to it. You can decrease this inner size of the earbuds by removing this silicon tip. And then installing the silicon ear tip back again.
This way you can make these earphones like regular earphones. And have a little more comfort. Now there are a couple of some cool features to these earphones. Like the flip hook technology and twist-lock technology. That I just wanted to explain it to you.
So flip hook technology is a technology, a design feature I would say, which enables you to use these earphones in two different ways.
One is that you can use these earphones just like regular earphones. But when you’re doing some fitness activities and you want some extra grip then you
can just wear these earphones from behind the ears. And it won’t go away even in the intense workout sessions. The second one is the twist-lock technology.
So essentially you can just wear these earphones and then just twist it further. And this will result in ina better fitting. As this will go deeper inside your ear canal.
So both of these features make them very perfect for sports earphones. At least for the design and fitness. But other than those two features we also have a couple of more features like these earphones have magnetic earbuds which makes them very easy to wear and manage when you’re not using these earphones.
I think it’s a must feature for any sports earphones. And another must feature that this earphone has is the IPX 5 water and splash rating.
Which makes you less worried about water or splashes sleeping inside that earbuds and damaging the earphones.
So those were all the good features of these earphones. But as nothing in this world is perfect. So do these earphones are. So the first downside is this big bulky compartment.
There are two big compartments suspended on the cable. Which are very bulky and heavy. So if you don’t adjust the cable length from this bead then these will keep on dangling around your neck.
And I think this is the most cases with all the wireless earphones. The second one is the micro USB port. I know it’s not a huge deal.
But at this price point, we can expect a USB type-c port. Since I have all these USB type-c devices laying around. And these also don’t come with a carrying case. At this price point, we can expect a carrying case at least.
So it would be much more convenient to use. But now you just have to throw them in your pocket or in your backpack.
But other than those points we still have some more things to talk about And then we will go through the battery life and sound quality.
The earphones have buttons on the one side of the compartment. Which includes a button to answer calls and for Google Assistant or Siri. And we also have a volume rocker to adjust the volume and changing tracks.
Now, this also has an inline mic to answer calls. And this is the sound quality of that. Now coming down to the battery life of these earphones.
These have a battery of 120 milli amp-hour. It has something called speed charge or you can say fast charging. So it took less than an hour to charge full and after full charge, I got a playtime of five and a half hours at 80% of volume.
it’s decent battery life or and earphones like this considering the charging time that it takes. But nowhere comes the crucial part of any audio device which
The sound quality itself. So for the sound quality of the JBL Endurance Run Bluetooth, I would say they are great to pair of earphones. First of all it covers all the hearing range of humans that is 20 Hertz to 20 kilohertz.
And in real life, it does produce a good frequency response. I mean I could hear all the bass, mids, and highs clearly. But something I want to address here is that these earphones lacking a little bit in sub frequencies.
I mean it’s enough to get you going but if you want to get that 808 to hit on your face.
For genres, the earphones are perfect for almost all types of genres. But they shine best on energetic songs. I don’t know why this has some certain flavor to it that when you’re listening to some tribal traps or some energetic EDM they just stand out of the other earphones.
Overall I would say they’re great sounding earphones for a workout and as well as casual listening. But this also brings us down to the cost of these earphones. So now let’s talk about that.
PRICE OF JBL Endurance :
So for the price, you can get these earphones for 40-50$ or 3000 rupees. But as always JBL has some Lightning Deals going on so you can get this around for 2649 rupees or around 40$.
You can try your luck from the links now below in the description. But for the price, I would say they’re a little bit just a touch expensive.
If this would have been for 2000 rupees then these would be the best pair of earphones for sports and workout. But also for 2650 rupees,
I would say considering all the features and sound quality these are still the best pair of sports earphones that you can get under this price range.
also if you still our little tight on budget then you can also consider the wired one. As these are pretty identical to the wireless one.
Except there is just a long wire attached to it. Rest the sound quality and design is the same. So you can save some cash that way.
