The OnePlus Bullets Wireless are also a good alternative with the most balanced sound out of the three. In terms of competition, the JayBird X3 are a good alternative but cost twice as much - plus, we actually prefer the sound of the JBL Endurance Sprint.įor those looking for better sound while still offering water resistance, the RHA MA390 Wireless are a good alternative that works as well on your commute as it does the gym. While its touch controls may miss your taps from time to time and its mic leaves something to be desired, they are niggles at this price point.

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. One unique design element of the JBL Endurance Sprint are its magnetic earhooks.
