Waterproof earbuds that stay in place while you move

There are two key things I always look for in workout headphones: durability and a nice, secure fit. The JBL Endurance Peak 3 true wireless earbuds have earned an IP68 rating, meaning their fully protected against dust and other particles — and completely sweat and waterproof. They also sport a flexible hook design that keeps them from moving around while you run or exercise.

Waterproof earbuds that stay in place while you move

An around-the-ear hook stabalizes each earbud, while JBL's patented TwistLock® system secures them in your ear. You put each earpiece in and twist. Music plays via Bluetooth 5.2 for a robust connection. You'll spend more time working out and less time messing with your phone, or having to adjust your headphones.

Clear JBL sound with deep bass punch

Of course, it's important that headphones sound good, too. That's kind of the name of the game! And the secure fit helps here, too — creating a tight seal and staying in place makes for a stronger, more consistent bass impact.

And it ensures the large 10mm drivers do their thing, delivering JBL's well-rounded, well-tuned sound. They spent years and years honing their sound signature through exhaustive user tests. For the Peak 3 earbuds, they've boosted the bass to help keep your energy up through long workouts.

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.

Charging case banks up to 40 hours of power

The hook-style Peak 3s arrive in a charging case that's a little larger than the average wireless earbud case. But it still doesn't take up a lot of room in your pocket or bag. And it comes with some perks — the case banks up to 40 hours of power to recharge the earbuds on the move.

And the earbuds themselves give you up to 10 hours of listening on a single charge, which is strong battery life for true wireless earbuds. That should cover a few workouts. Or maybe I should speak for myself!

Features

Overview: The JBL Endurance Peak 3 True Wireless Active in-ear headphones are IP68 rated for dust and water resistance, so you can listen during work or play rain or shine. The earbuds give you up to 10 hours of battery power with each charge, plus 4 additional charges from the included charging case. The earbuds have convenient onboard touch controls for power, music playback, and hands-free phone calls. The Endurance Peak 3 earbuds come with three pairs of silicone ear tips, a pair of enhancers to provide an optimum airtight seal, and a hard, clam-shell charging case.

Drivers: The JBL Endurance Peak 3 ear buds are equipped with 10mm dynamic drivers that deliver the rich JBL Pure Bass Sound with a wide frequency range of 20Hz-20kHz.

Water Resistant: The Endurance Peak 3 ear buds are IP68-rated to protect the internal components from dust, water, and sweat. Whether you're at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or out on the lake, the headphones can endure the elements. They'll even withstand being submerged in 1.5 meters of fresh or salt water for up to 30 minutes.

Bluetooth: The ear buds connect to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth 5.2. The ear buds support A2DP (V1.3), AVRCP (V1.6), and HFP (V1.7).

PowerHook/TwistLock: The Endurance Peak 3 ear buds have a flexible and secure ear hook design that keeps them in your ears even during rigorous activity. When the end of the right ear hook is pulled out of its resting position, the ear bud automatically powers on and goes into pairing mode. The ear hooks feature TwistLock technology for extra comfort and stability when wearing. When inserting the ear buds, twisting them backward helps to securely lock them in place.

LED Indicators: Each ear bud has an LED to indicate the charging and pairing status. In addition, there are four LEDs on the charging case to show the charging status in 25% increments (4 LEDs-100% charged, 1 LED-<25% charged).

Beamforming Mics: The Endurance Peak 3 earbuds feature dual beamforming microphones in each earbud for clear phone calls, even on windy days. The Voice Aware feature feeds your voice back into the headphones and lets you dial in how much of your voice you want to hear.

Mono Call Mode: When you answer a phone call, the JBL Endurance Peak 3 will automatically switch from stereo to mono mode on the right ear piece for a more natural-sounding phone call. When the call ends, the ear buds automatically switch back to stereo mode.

Touch Controls: The JBL Endurance Peak 3 features intuitive touch controls on the right ear bud that lets you play/pause, change tracks, take calls, mono/stereo modes, and control volume.

Ambient Aware/Talk Thru: The Ambient Aware feature picks up ambient sounds and sends them into the earbuds. This lets you remain aware of your surroundings without removing the headphones. Talk Thru makes it easy to make and hear your phone calls anywhere.

Voice Assistant: The Endurance Peak 3 headphones are compatible with the native voice assistant of your smartphone (Siri, Google, Bixby, etc.). It also works with Google Assistant to help you manage tasks, plan your day, and listen to music or podcasts.

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, a pair of ergonomic "enhancers" are included to give you a more secure fit for rigorous activities.

Fully charged ear buds provide up to 10 hours playback time or 5.5 hours of talk time. The charging case contains its own 3.7-volt 950 mAh rechargeable battery for over 40 hours of total backup charge. The ear buds charge in the case in less than two hours.
