Highlights
- *IMPORTANT* Please be sure to dry your earbuds before placing them back in the case to charge and make sure the case is completely dry as well. Although these earbuds are IP68 waterproof, the charging case is not waterproof.
- Waterproof and dustproof: The JBL Endurance Race 2 is made for your toughest workout. Their IP68 rating means they're fully dustproof and waterproof, with complete protection against solid particles and the ability to survive being submerged deeper than a meter in both fresh water and sea water. Even the charging case is IPX2 water-resistant, so it can come along on your next rainy-day run. (*NOTE: It is important to dry off your buds before putting them back into the charging case)
- Ergonomic wing enhancer with Twistlock technology: The ergonomic wing enhancer on the JBL Endurance Race 2 earbuds uses Twistlock technology. That means a better seal and with more stability in your ears when you're using them, not to mention all-day comfort.
- 48Hrs of playback time, plus speed charging: Enjoy 12Hrs of playtime, plus another three full charges (36Hrs) in the charging case.* 10 minutes on the included** USB type-C charging cable will give you another four hours of playtime. (*with ANC off) (**Highly recommend to only use the included, high-quality JBL cable)
- Active Noise Cancelling with Smart Ambient: JBL Endurance Race 2 earbuds use Active Noise Cancelling to listen to your surroundings and filter out distracting noise. Smart Ambient lets you control how much of the outside world you want to hear, so you can talk with others or stay aware of your surroundings—all without taking your earbuds out.
- 4 mics for crisp, clear calls: Two beamforming mics on each earbud pick up and transmit your voice while canceling out ambient noise. So you can make clear, crisp calls even when you're jogging through a busy park on a breezy day.
- JBL Pure Bass sound: JBL Endurance Race 2 earbuds feature 6.8mm dynamic drivers that deliver powerful JBL Pure Bass sound.
- Enhance your work-out with 'Sports Mode': Use the JBL Headphones app to match your workout with ANC, Ambient Aware and EQ. Adjust the settings to the intensity of your workout, choosing one of the six default Sports Modes - or you can customize your own. And when your workout is over, chill out and recharge in Relax Mode by choosing one of five peaceful sounds, like gentle ocean waves or a crackling wood fire.
- Multi-point connection: Pair your JBL Endurance Race 2 earbuds with two Bluetooth devices and then switch effortlessly from one to the other. So if you're watching a video on your tablet, you won't miss a call on your mobile phone.
- Seamless Bluetooth pairing: JBL Endurance Race 2 come enabled with both Fast Pair by Google and Swift Pair by Microsoft, so you can pair both your Android devices and Microsoft computer with a single tap.

Detailed Review
JBL Endurance Race 2 is a true wireless earbud set built for workout focused listening, with IP68 protection and a secure fit design for people who want audio that can handle active routines. This pair suits shoppers who need earbuds for exercise, outdoor movement, or everyday listening while keeping control over how much surrounding sound they hear.
The standout design feature is the ergonomic wing enhancer with Twistlock technology. The wing structure is intended to create a more stable fit and a better seal in the ear, which matters when earbuds need to stay in place during movement. JBL Endurance Race 2 also uses JBL Pure Bass sound with 6.8mm dynamic drivers, giving buyers a way to enjoy a bass focused listening experience from a compact earbud design.
For changing environments, the earbuds include Active Noise Cancelling and Smart Ambient features. Active Noise Cancelling is designed to filter distracting noise, while Smart Ambient allows outside sounds to be heard without removing the earbuds. The JBL Headphones app adds Sports Mode options, with six default Sports Modes and the ability to customize settings using ANC, Ambient Aware and EQ controls. A Relax Mode with five peaceful sounds is also available when it is time to wind down.
Battery flexibility is another important part of the design. The earbuds provide up to 12 hours of playback, with the charging case adding three additional full charges for a total of up to 48 hours when ANC is off. A quick charge through the included USB Type C charging cable can add another four hours of playtime after 10 minutes. The trade-off is that the earbuds and case require different care habits. Although the earbuds have an IP68 rating, the charging case is not waterproof, so the earbuds and case should be dry before charging.
Verdict: JBL Endurance Race 2 is a strong match for shoppers wanting true wireless earbuds with a secure workout design, long playback and adjustable listening modes. Buyers who need simple earbuds without exercise focused features may prefer a more basic option.
