The JBL Endurance Peak 2’s short battery life and lack of ANC are the only major compromises that budget-conscious users will have to make to enjoy their bass-heavy sound output and water/sweat resistance.
First released back in late 2020, the JBL Endurance Peak 2 is a budget-friendly wireless closed-back model that boasts an official IP rating for water resistance (IPX7) for those looking for an exercise-focused, waterproof design.
Similar to some of the best headphones in its range, these wireless earbuds feature Bluetooth 5.0 technology for efficient wireless audio transmission.
But unlike the most popular wireless earbuds of today, it does not support active noise cancellation technology to effectively block out ambient sounds.
If you need a pair of earbuds that do support ANC, then make sure to take a look at our TaoTronics SoundLiberty 94 review. You can tap the tiny touch-sensitive surface of both earbuds of the JBL Endurance Peak 2 in order to access its easy-to-operate controls.
But if you prefer physical button-based clicky controls that are much less prone to accidental triggers, then visit our JBL Tune 125TWS review.
What Is Not on the Box
What the brand doesn’t always tell you…
our Verdict
The JBL Endurance Peak 2’s have a well-balanced sound output, with a satisfying and thumpy bass response and the ability to accurately reproduce both vocals and instrumentals.
Unfortunately, there aren’t any sound customization options, and there’s also no ANC feature. Bluetooth connectivity is also unreliable for video streaming because of a high iOS/Android latency of 268ms/269ms, which causes lags.
However, the in-ear headphones have a commendable 6.6-hour continuous battery life, and their control scheme is elaborate. There’s also no app support, and they feel uncomfortable after long use.
The in-ear headphones are also water-resistant, making them great for active gym users, and they can also be used while charging. Overall, they offer the most value to athletes who enjoy bass-heavy music during their workouts.
