About the JBL Endurance RACE TWS

Waterproof, wire-free workout 'buds that stay in place
Waterproof, wire-free workout 'buds that stay in place
JBL always checks the right boxes when they make earbuds for running and working out — and the Endurance Race true wireless headphones are no exception. They're made of waterproof, durable materials and twist securely into place thanks to JBL's patented TwistLock® system. You'll spend less time adjusting your earbuds and more time enjoying the deep, powerful bass.
JBL tuned these headphones to deliver that strong low-end punch. Meanwhile, Bluetooth 5.2 is on board, which is the latest and greatest version of the popular wireless technology. That means a more stable connection for playing music and podcasts — or making calls — with your phone.
Safety first
In the gym, it's sometimes OK to shut out the world, crank your tunes, and focus on your workout. But if you're running or exercising out in the real world, you need to stay aware of your surroundings. So JBL includes two special listening modes:
"Ambient Aware" mode lets you hear external sounds mixed in with your music. "Talk Thru" mode turns the music off and uses built-in mics to pick up people's voices. This is helpful when someone tries to strike up a conversation, and you don't necessarily want to take out your earbuds.
A comfortable, secure fit
Three different sizes of ear tips are included, to help you get a secure and comfortable fit. With in-ears like these, a tight seal helps you get the best possible sound, especially when it comes to the bass. The earbuds can be worn with or without winged attachments, depending on what feels best to you.
Some convenient, on-the-go controls
JBL added some nice touches to make these Bluetooth headphones extra-useful. You have touch controls out of the box over music, calls, and volume. And after a one-time setup through the JBL Headphone app, you can tap either earbud to access the Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa through your smartphone. Then just speak your commands through the voice control assistant of your choice.

Features
Overview: The JBL Endurance Race TWS ear buds are True Wireless in-ear headphones with no connecting cables. Each ear bud has a built-in rechargeable battery, plus touch controls for power, music playback, phone calls, and Voice Assistant. The Endurance Race TWS ear buds come with three pairs of silicone ear tips, a pair of enhancers to provide an optimum airtight seal, a USC charging cable, and a hard, clam-shell charging case.
Drivers: The JBL Endurance Race TWS ear buds are equipped with 6mm dynamic drivers that deliver the rich JBL Pure Bass Sound with a wide frequency range of 20Hz-20kHz.
Touch Controls: The JBL Endurance Race TWS features intuitive touch controls on the left and right ear buds that lets you play/pause, change tracks, take and end calls, mute the microphone, activate Advance Controls, and enable your favorite Voice Assistant (as set up in the JBL Headphones App).
Ear Tips: The ear buds comes with three pairs (S, M, and L) of silicone rubber ear tips, ensuring you get an airtight fit regardless of the shape or size of your ear. In addition, two pairs (S, L) of ergonomic "enhancers" are included to give you a more secure fit for rigorous activities.
Water/Dust Resistant: The Endurance Race TWS ear buds are IP67-certified to protect the internal components from dust, water, and sweat. This waterproof design keeps them performing in the rain, during a workout, or even after submersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes.
Bluetooth: The ear buds connect to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth version 5.2 (2.4-2.4835 GHz). The ear buds support A2DP (V1.3), AVRCP (V1.6), and HFP (V1.7).
Voice Assistants: The headphones are compatible with the Voice Assistant that is built into your smartphone -- Siri (Apple), Google (Android), Bixby (Samsung). In the JBL Headphones App, you can also select Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant as your voice assistant. To activate the Voice Assistant in the Endurance Race TWS, you can touch and hold of one of the ear buds, as assigned in the app.
Microphones: The ear buds have dual beamforming microphones to pick up your voice for making clear phone calls, and using your favorite voice assistant, and for picking up ambient noise for the Ambient Aware feature.
Ambient Aware/TalkThru: The Endurance Race true wireless headphones have an Ambient Aware feature to help you stay in touch with your surroundings. Microphones pick up and amplify the surrounding noise so you can hear oncoming traffic or public announcements at the airport. The TalkThru feature lets you hold a brief conversation without having to remove your headphones. You can turn Smart Ambient on and off with a single tap of the touch-sensitive control on the left ear bud. TalkThru is controlled with a double-tap. Both features are enabled through the JBL Headphones app.
Enhancer/TwistLock™: The Endurance Race TWS ear buds come with ergonomic wing enhancers that help to keep the ear buds in your ears, even during rigorous activity. When inserting the ear bud into your ear, it should be rotated toward the back of your head, tucking the loop behind the fold in your outer ear. This TwistLock™ technology alleviates pressure point discomfort, and provides a better seal and stability when wearing.
LED Indicators: Each ear bud has an LED to indicate the charging and pairing status. In addition, there are LEDs on the front of the charging case to show the charging status.
Dual Connect: When you remove both ear buds from the charging case, both will pair to your smartphone and perform in stereo. If you remove only one ear bud (left or right) from the case, it will pair to your smartphone and operate in mono mode.
Rechargeable Batteries: Each of the JBL Endurance Race TWS ear buds contains a 3.85-volt 70mAh Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. The charging case contains its own 3.7-volt 550 mAh rechargeable battery. Fully charged ear buds provide up to 10 hours playback time. The charging case provides enough power for two additional full charges, for a total of up to 30 hours. The ear buds charge in the case in less than two hours. A 10-minute Speed Charge will give you approximately 1 hour of playback time. The ear buds charge in the provided case with the supplied Micro USB cable.
JBL Headphones App: The JBL Headphones App on your smartphone can enhance the performance and your listening experience of your Endurance Race TWS headphones. Smart Ambient and TalkThru features can be set up in the app. You can configure the controls you want for each ear bud, as well as set up your favorite Voice Assistant. The app provides several EQ presets to make your music sound the way you want it, as well as create or customize your own EQ settings. The JBL Headphones app can help you streamline pairing your headphones to your phone, and lets you keep up with the battery level of each ear bud individually. The app is compatible with Apple iPhone and iPad running iOS 11.0 or later, and with Android smartphones and tablets running Android version 7.0 and up.
