"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."


"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."


"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"I put them in my ear, put the helmet on, then do one final “push” with my finger to seat them in my ear for the ride. ... The batteries die before they work out of my ear."


"they are so comfortable that both I and my husband have had to feel our ears to check whether we were still wearing them."


"Also super bonus I've never head banged with earphones this hard besides with these soundcores, they stick to me like glue even when I'm in a metal mood and I'm headbanging for a good hour."

"The only thing I really hate is the fact they are touch and not a push button. When I run I wipe my face with a towel and it keeps pushing the buttons."

Thanks for the reply. They even have anc. I just bought some to see how they are. Hopefully they are halfway decent

I don't really like open earbuds. I like anc and getting totally lost into my music or podcast I play as I run. As as far as the JBL endurance race, they are on the bigger size but fit in my ear fine. The only thing I really hate is the fact they are touch and not a push button. When I run I wipe my face with a towel and it keeps pushing the buttons. Otherwise I totally like the earbuds. I'll try them out in the sauna and in the pool. Thanks again for the suggestion.

r/EarbudsBest Earbuds for Running & Calls?
4 months ago

For running and calls where you need a secure fit and clear voice pickup, I’d go with the [JBL Endurance Race 2](https://amzn.to/3KR5jSq). They have TwistLock and winged tips that keep them in place even during intense workouts, are sweat- and water-resistant (IP68), and the mic does a solid job letting people hear you clearly, even outdoors. Battery life is great too—about 10 hours per charge with extra from the case. Perfect for running, gym sessions, and everyday calls.

r/runninglifestyleBest earphones for running?

Before Jabra stopped making earbuds, I had a pair of their Elite Active 75t that was the single best investment I made for my running (other than my hydration vest). I killed mine in the washing machine earlier this year and ended up with a pair of the JBL Endurance Race 2 and actually really like them. They’re comfortable, waterproof, don’t fall out of my ears, and have pretty good sound. Their ambient awareness setting is subpar compared to the Jabras, but for me, that’s fine because wearing two earbuds while I’m running makes me feel claustrophobic. So I just leave one in the case. A lot of people in the running community like and will recommend Shokz (formerly Aftershokz). They’re an open ear, bone conducting earphone. Supposedly safer. I don’t like the idea or look of them, and I wear too much over my ears to add Shokz to the mix. But you might like them!

r/NoStupidQuestionsDoes anyone know of any cost efficient yet high quality earbuds?
7 months ago

I only lost the AirPods because I was careless and have been wanting a new pair since I lost the right bud(turned my apartment upside down cause I knew they were in it but still couldn’t find it lol). I pretty much lost the case and left bud on purpose. I went with the jbl endurance race 2 as they were on sale, on the cheaper side and have great reviews for noise cancellation and sweat resistance.

r/HeadphoneAdviceLooking for gym headphones that actually stay on — tired of my earbuds falling out mid-set

I quite like my Adidas FDW-01 earbuds. No ANC and they will start wearing on your ears after a while, but they ain't coming out unless you want them to, and if you don't like the neck band there's an FWD-02 that does away with that. There's a lot of more secure and good sounding earbuds with all sorts of security features out there than a mediocre brand like Jabra and basic airpods, though, and all of them are likely to meet your requirements better than any headphone. JBL Endurance Race for example are also very secure and have an excellent IP rating that'll hold out through a thunderstorm, Beats Fit Pro are expensive but offer soft flexible hooks with good sound, and JLab Epic Air Sports pack their ANC with over-ear hooks instead if you don't want anything poking into your ear. And any decently sized ear hooks *will* be more secure than even the tightest headphone clamp, without bumping or catching on anything.

I own the JBL RACE and they are so good for the price point. They offer a sound transparency mode so you can hear your surroundings, The earbuds and charging case battery lasts for a long time, they were cheap, and I dropped one into a creek for a few seconds dried it off and it works fine still

I use some jbl endurance race ear buds that work pretty well. Listen time is very long and they have some pass through mode that's only useful if you're going below 20kph. Also they kind of twist lock in your ear so they feel really solid.

I'm using the JBL endurance race. It's the only pair I got so I have no comparison but they sit very firm while also not being uncomfortable. I'm using them mostly at work or while going from A to B but I think they would be great for sports activity too.

r/nycrailSerious question- what earphones do you use while riding on trains?

I use JBL Endurance Race buds for my rides into the city. It's got decent noise cancelation FWIW. Plus there's an app that lets you fine-tune the EQ.
