Results matter, and when you have the perfect headphones there’s
nothing standing in-between you and your workout. With their
flipbook design, they adapt to an in-ear or behind-the-ear fit
for added convenience. A comfortable combination of flex soft ear
tips and twist-lock technology means these buds are never to hurt
or fall out. And if you thought a little sweat or rain was going
to ruin your run, think again. Thanks to IPX5 sweat proofing, JBL
endurance run headphones keep up with your every step, while an
in-line microphone and remote ensures you’re never reaching into
your pocket to answer calls.
Review: The Best Earbuds I Have Ever Used - I was really getting
fed up with earbuds that didn't stay put and that sounded
screechy on high volume. But I also didn't want to pay nearly
half a hundred dollars for super good headphones/earbuds,
especially since I'm on a tight budget. Thankfully, with these
babies, I didn't have to drain my bank account. They stay put in
your ear and don't come out unless you really give it a hard
yank. Normally I'm not a fan of the suction cup earbuds, but
these are so comfy and lightweight you don't even notice that
they're in your ear. That'll be helpful for when I'm listening to
music while doing dishes or folding laundry. The sound is
extremely crystal clear and doesn't sound screechy at all,
especially at high volumes. What I also really like is how the
plug is designed with a diagonal side, so the wires won't pinch
as easily. These beauties are worth every dollar. I'm never
buying another brand EVER AGAIN!!!
Review: The Sound Quality is Much Better than 4.5 Stars - I can't
believe the overall review on these earphones averages out to a
4.5. Maybe it's because athletes were expecting these to last
forever, or have a tendency to do things that put a lot of stress
on the cord, or it's ends, or they're getting tons of sweat or
rain inside them. My perspective on these, I've probably tried at
least 20 different corded earphones, and I'm talking premium name
brands, plus the same with earbuds and headphones. I guess you'd
say I'm always on a quest for the best, and sometimes for the
lowest cost. For $20, I think these are the best. When I
purchased these I wasn't expecting much. I've tried the JBL 110,
JBL Live 100. For what they are, they're ok. I just did a side by
side comparison with those, and these, playing specific songs I
like, gave the best overall balance of tone, with much higher
volume than those other JBL's, and enhanced dynamic presence on
each song, as if I was hearing the song live in-concert. The
drums and cymbals, the bass, the guitar, and the vocals, were all
incredibly balanced, crystal clear with no distortion, incredibly
present as if the band was right in front of me, and that was for
studio recorded songs. I think one of the biggest problems with
earphones achieving all the above, is partially related to how
well they seat deeply in your ear, and remain that way. Most
earphones don't achieve that but these do, and they do it
extremely well. I had been thinking about these earphones for
months, and kept talking myself out of buying them, due to the
reviews for them only averaging out to 4.5, I typically won't buy
anything on desertcart unless the review for it is over 4.5.
Plus, I almost didn't buy these because I thought since they were
for running, excercise and for active wear, that maybe the sound
quality made certain sacrifices, compared to other JBL earphones.
Not buying these would've been a huge mistake, they're not only
the best sounding JBL earphones, they're the best earphones of
any big name brand that I've ever tried, and I own some that cost
way more than these. Now my plan is to order 2-3 more boxes of
these, because JBL does have a tendency to stop making certain
earphone models. As for the grade I gave this, I'm giving these a
5.0, because for $20, the sound is incredible, so incredible, I
would've been willing to pay at least $50 for them, and still
been happy with my purchase, the sound quality is that good. I've
spent a lots of name brand earphones and this $20 pair puts an
end to my earphone tone quest, I'm getting more of them as
back-ups Now for the 4.5 reviews on here, and athletes or those
that exercise and use these, I'm guessing with your phone in your
pocket, and jumping up-and-down, twisting and turning, and
putting stress on the ends of the cord of these, and stretching
it out too far, or getting the inside of the earphones contantly
wet with sweat or rain, yeah maybe they do stop working after a
while, so what, they're only $20. If I was an athlete and
purchased these for $20, and was exercising daily, and stressing
and pulling on the ends of the cord, and drowning the inside of
them with sweat or rain, and they stopped working after a few
months, I wouldn't care if I had to buy another pair every few
months, the sound the provide is incredible for $20. Stop
whinning, suck it up and buy another pair if you're abusing the
cord everyday. And if you're looking for something with a
lifetime gurantee that's indestructible no-matter-what, and
sounds this good for $20, please let me know when you find it. So
whether you exercise or not, I dare you try these and say the
sound they provide isn't worth $20. And if you find a pair that
does sound better for $20, please let me know.
