That being said, fiddling with the EQ considerably improved the sound. The treble too lacks the crispness and sharpness. For example in hard rock, the snare drum sounded bassy and loose. The pronounced bass does eat into the mids, they lack the sharpness in them. At the same time when listening to music, the earphones do feel bassy and tend to overpower the other frequencies but not as much as SennheiserCX 3.00 bass heavy earphones. The bass is certainly bumped up in these earphones, this honestly is perfect when exercising or running as one can really sync with the rhythm even if the mind has consciously turned off or drifted into another zone. Most earphones of this class aren’t designed with sound excellence in mind rather excellence in design. The JBL Endurance Jump is a sports class earphone. The same touch controls can be used for music control such as play/pause, volume up/down. One of the coolest features in JBL Endurance Jump is the tap/touch control system to take a call and disconnect giving a very Star Trek Next Generation vibe to it (Starfleet communicator badge). Although the brand doesn’t speak about it, expect some level of protection from it. So rain would certainly not be an issue, however, perspiration is another matter. The Endurance Jump earphones are IPX7 waterproof, meaning it can withstand water up to 1m for 30 minutes. I tried multiple times to manhandle the earphones but it always closed the gap to turn off the earphone. The little magnet hidden inside ensures that earphone automatically sticks to the ear hook to switch off when not in use. What I loved was the “PowerHook” technology as JBL calls it, which basically ensures that the earphones automatically turn on/off when putting on or taking off the earphones. This also means that your ears would be completely sealed with passive noise cancellation and audio playing through your ears which can get very dangerous when crossing the road. Still working after 3 trips through washer and dryer.Caution: These earphones really are a snug fit if you learn how to adjust them to your ears. I regret buying.Ī TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY, DONT BUY, DONT BOTHER I bought this product a month ago and still can't work out how to use it despite reading the instructions and going online. I was so excited to listen to tunes while swimming, but every time I went under water they turned off! No ease of use when it comes to buttons. These have such a nice feel! They were very easy to connect to the bluetooth and pair with my phone. Sure they might be water tight but they do not function when wet!! Absolute waste of money. Tried a few times to turn them back on but the water messes with the touch controls and completely turns them off. Definitely wouldn't recommend these headphones.īought these to swim and they sound great until they hit water and they completely turn off. I was hoping the issue would work itself out eventually somehow, but 3 months later it's still happening. I could forgive the first two gripes pretty easily, but the third is really annoying. Issues I've run into include: restricted movement when turning my head because the wire connecting the two ear buds isn't long enough, accidentally turning the headphones off or pausing them because the touch sensitivity is ridiculous, sound out of one ear randomly not being as loud or as high quality as the other (extreme discrepancy between the two ears pretty often). However, the cons outweigh the pros by a strong margin. They generally stay pretty snug, and I've never really had a problem with fit or quality of the material. I thought maybe it was the quality of my MP3 but even on bluetooth mode or with high quality MP3s the sound volume at maximum is so soft I can still hear conversations going on around me.īought these headphones a while ago, and wear them at the gym and while running. JBL, I will not be recommending these to anyone! Before the swim, the sound was great! I guess, I'll be taking these back to the store as a defective pair.let's hope they are kind enough to exchange them. The right hand earphone stopped working 5 minutes into my first swim with them, and now after waiting several hours for it to dry, the sound is very, very faint in the right side. One of the most frustrating things about them is the touch control which is nearly impossible to master. Well, I am sad to say, that they are the worst headphones I have ever had (and I have had several). I was so desperate to get another MP3 player for my swim workouts and decided on the JBL Endurance Dive because of the Harman sound. I had a Sony MP3 player that I lost (which were great).
