While JBL is known for their reference sound, I find their bass response is nice and punchy allowing for a subtle, yet impactful amount of sub-bass. For a mere $49.95 users are equipped with a bud that can survive a dunk in the pool and deliver impressive sound. These headphones are a winner in my book. Anyway, once connected, you’ll be able to see that the buds are pre-charged with about 1/3 to 1/2 battery life.
Loyal JBL fans will know what I’m talking about, so it threw me off for a second. What I find funny about this entire process is that the sound prompts are identical to those of the JBL Flip 4. From there, you can select JBL Endurance SPRINT from your list of available devices and voila, connected. Tap the JBL symbol and the buds enter into pairing mode. Once the magnets are separated for about five seconds, the buds power on. The earbud housings and cable connect via a magnet and tap surface. Since these earphones don’t have buttons they connect a little differently than all the other buds you’ve probably tried. It can withstand extremely heavy sweating and immersion in water for 30 minutes no deeper than 1 meter. One of the most exciting features is the water resistant rating of IPX7 which means JBL Endurance SPRINT is actually water proof. Moreover, a quick charge of 10 minutes yields an entire hour of play time. Most wireless earbuds support about 7 hours or so. The buds support an 8 hour battery life, which is great. This features allows those with active lifestyles an easy means of switching back and forth between tracks, pausing and playing of music, adjusting the volume, and taking calls. The entire unit is lightweight and the hooks also possess a soft flex material for a comfortable fit, as I mentioned earlier.Įndurance SPRINT ditches buttons and opts for easy tap/swipe controls on the outside of the housings atop the grooves and JBL symbol. The cable and housings are fit with magnets that also assist in the lock feature. Oh yeah, these earphones possess a decent amount of sound isolation While the shape and fit seem a little different, it’s all beneficial. I will note that once the buds were situated in my ears I hated taking them out because putting them back in was a bit of a drag.

The fit is a little odd at first and getting them in takes more than a second, but once the bud is in and the hook is properly placed over your ear, the entire unit feels comfortable. This bud is built with a twist and lock feature (the same one that’s found on JBL Focus 500). The inside of the housing is fit with an angled bud on the inside. The entire long rectangular like housing is actually angled to hook over your ear. JBL Endurance SPRINT has an interesting build. JBL Endurance SPRINT is Waterproof with Tap Controls Build & Design JBL Endurance SPRINT doesn’t have a single button, but rather a large touch surface, good sound and pretty impressive features for a mere $50.
