And moving back to pop, percussion instruments have a crisp sparkle. Listening to strings in this range, you’ll get a nice fluid smoothness. That being said, the sound is far from muddy, and for a sports headphone, I was more than satisfied. Listening to folk music, acoustic guitars sounded quite clean for a wireless headphone, though don’t expect the same clarity as you would from a wired headphone in this price range. So, you’ll get a dynamic sound, rather than a flat midrange. The lower mids are powered more from the bass frequencies. So, if you like powerful vocals that sit forward in the mix, this will be a good balance for you. Pop has some serious punch, and the rich low end makes rock sound warm and full bodied. It will satisfy bass-heads without overwhelming more civilized folks. In true JBL fashions, the Endurance Peak delivers big and juicy lows. SOUND Overall Impressions: Powerful bass with a versatile sound profile. But unless you’re a stickler for high fidelity or you’ve compared these buds to a Bluetooth 5 pair, it’s unlikely that you’ll be disappointed with the sound quality. The Endurance Peak is still in the Bluetooth 4.2 generation, which means that it’s not the clearest wireless transmission available. But that technology would probably mean a more expensive headphone. There’s one thing that would have made the Endurance Peak a spectacular earphone. Also note that when making calls, the sound only comes through the right earpiece. But if you’re need to have an in-depth discussion about quantum physics, you might need to look for buds with a better microphone. So, if you’re calling your wife to tell her how many push ups you did, call clarity should be sufficient. I had no problem hearing the caller, but my buddy on the other line said that the volume was low, and I sounded a little muffled. Call ClarityĬall clarity is okay, but not crystal clear. So, these buds are really designed for floating around while sipping on a cocktail. Once you dip head into the pool, the connection will be lost. I’ve only tested the Endurance Dive model underwater, but my guess is that the Endurance Peak is the same. You should note, however, that the Bluetooth feature will not work while swimming underwater. With an IPX7 waterproof rating, your buds will stay alive even with your head underwater for up to 30 minutes. When you’re done listening, all you have to do is take them out of your ears and push the ear-hooks back in place to switch them off. And after you’ve paired them once, they will automatically connect every time you take them out of the charging case. You’ll find them in your Bluetooth settings. When you take them out for the first time, the earbuds will enter pairing mode automatically. PairingĬonnecting these buds to your phone is easy. All the functions are surprisingly easy to navigate and I didn’t even need any practice to get the hang of it. The right earpiece will allow you to play/pause, skip back and forth, adjust volume and answer/end calls. You can control a host of functions from the right earpiece with a couple of taps or swipes, depending on which function you want to activate. This is a hell of a lot longer than the majority of true wireless earphones out there, even some of the incredibly expensive ones. And you can use the earphones for 4 hours at a time before you have to put them back in the case for charging. The charging case gives you 24 hours of extra charge. DESIGN Battery Lifeįor those who are unfamiliar with true wireless technology, the earphones come with a case that acts as a charger. They’re comfortable too, and I wasn't bothered by the secure feel, even after long periods of use. But for the paranoid souls out there, it’s just extra assurance that the Endurance Peak will stay in place even after the sweatiest of runs. In fact, the ear-hooks may not even be necessary. With a super ergonomic fit, the Endurance Fit will seal perfectly in the contours of your ears. It’s actually much less complicated than it sounds, but it really works. JBL has designed a “TwistLock” technology you insert the buds at a downward angle and then twist them into place. Go rock climbing, skydiving or do somersaults. JBL always knocks it out of the ballpark in this department. Will they live up to the high standards that JBL has set for its athletic line-up? Let’s find out in this JBL Endurance Peak True Wireless Earphones Review. So, I was curious to test out JBL’s first sports true wireless buds. From my experience, nothing comes close to JBL sports headphones in terms of fit, build and sound for the price.
