We live in an increasingly wireless world, but Bluetooth isn't for everyone, and if you're still flying the wired earphone flag in 2019, your options sound better than ever. At $19.95 (and sometimes available for even less), JBL's Endurance Run earphones are cheap enough that you might be wondering if they can possibly sound better than the free earbuds that came with your phone. The answer is a resounding yes. The earphones deliver far better audio with more bass depth and clarity than their price would suggest. On top of that, a secure fit and sweatproof design make them ideal for exercise—as long as you don't mind the wires. Design Available in black, dark blue, light blue, red, or black and neon yellow, the Endurance Run earphones feature lightweight but relatively large earpieces that use JBL's TwistLock design to stay firmly in place. The cable can be looped up and over/behind your ear, or you can wear them more traditionally with the cable dropping straight down—this means ...

The exercise-focused JBL Endurance Run earphones sound better than you'd expect from a sub-$20 pair, wired or not.

Powerful audio performance with deep bass and crisp highs; Sweatproof, secure-fitting design; Can be worn in two different ways; Excellent mic clarity

Light on accessories; Not for audio purists

Bought these for running and gym. Sound quality was good, but unfortunately they didn't block out the outside noise very well so I had to have the volume up quite high. They were uncomfortable despite being able to apparently wear them both ways up/down in my ears, and continually worked their way...

There’s not much to think about here. The fit is comfortable and secure, the build is great (besides JBL not caring about left vs right stereo channels), and the sound is primo for 20 bucks. Volume control on the remote would have been nice. But other than that, I have no complaints. I dig them.

JBL has established itself as one of the dominant forces in sports headphones, and for good reason. Many of the company's offerings are well-designed, comfortable, and they sound pretty good too. We recently reviewed the JBL Endurance Sprint wireless sports headphones , and quite liked them.

Perhaps my ears are unusual, but these headphones don't fit me very well. Sound quality is okay.

Seen this product today and thought it is a must have to use on my motorcycle rides as it states not to fall out of the ear. A problem when it happens to wear a helmet and have to pull over to fix it. At the price, I am very disappointed for a JBL product. No Volume control on the headset.

Music is one of the big things for those that workout, run or just want to get their mind right. Nowadays most are switching over to wireless connections but there are those that still like a nice hardwired device. JBL has those in mind with the Endurance Run.
