These Workout-Friendly JBL Headphones Are Now $40
If you’ve been looking for a reliable pair of workout headphones that won’t slip out during burpees, the JBL Endurance Peak 3 is $39.95 (originally $99.99) on Woot this month (or while they sell out). These headphones are a steal, earning PCMag’s Editors’ Choice award for their workout-friendly design and secure fit. This deal includes a one-year JBL manufacturer’s warranty , and if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you get free standard shipping (otherwise it’ll cost you $6).
These wireless headphones feature ear hooks that fit snugly around your ears, ensuring they stay in place even during the most intense activities. And unlike some other ear-hook headphones, they reportedly don’t clash with your glasses frames (an underrated feature for glasses wearers). However, the ear hooks act as a power switch, turning off when their tips magnetically touch the body of the earbud – useful in theory, but can be a nuisance if you’re just taking them out for a quick break. Additionally, the touch controls take some getting used to as the panels have a larger surface area than most headphones.
In terms of audio, JBL features 10mm dynamic drivers that cover the entire frequency range from 20Hz to 20kHz (with fully customizable EQ settings in the companion app), delivering a sound profile with strong bass without distortion even at maximum volume. If you’re an Android user, you’ll appreciate the Google Fast Pair’s ease of setup, although the headphones support basic AAC and SBC codecs —there’s no AptX support, notes PCMag’s review . However, they have an impressive IP68 rating , which means they are completely dustproof and can withstand being fully submerged in water for over 30 minutes. Rain, sweat or a quick rinse under the tap? No problem. Battery life is another win, with JBL estimating 10 hours per charge, plus an additional 40 hours from the charging case (range may vary depending on use). So unless you’re planning on running an ultramarathon, you should be covered.
Note. Woot does not ship these headphones to Alaska, Hawaii, or PO Box addresses.
