These Virtually Indestructible JBL Headphones Are Now 40% Off.
For fitness enthusiasts and gym regulars, finding headphones that combine durability and comfort can be challenging, especially if you’re on a budget. JBL excels at this; they’re known for their powerful, bass-rich sound, and some models, like the JBL Endurance Peak 3 headphones , can withstand even the most intense workouts. They’re currently priced at $59.95 (originally $99.95), a 40% reduction from their all-time price.
These workout headphones don’t feature active noise cancellation, but they offer, according to PCMag (which awarded them an Editor’s Choice award), “powerful, bass-rich sound.” They’re also completely waterproof and dustproof, with an IP68 rating, meaning they can be submerged in water for more than 30 minutes, making them suitable for use in heavy rain or rinsing under running water.
To ensure a secure fit during intense movement, the headphones are equipped with sporty ear hooks that gently but firmly hold them in place without interfering with glasses. The hooks also serve as a power switch: when the ear pads magnetically connect to the main body of the headphone, they turn off. This can be inconvenient if you need to remove them briefly, as you’ll need to prevent the ear pads from touching the body to prevent them from turning off. Touch controls are located on the outside of each earcup.
The headphones last for about 10 hours on a single charge, and the IPX-rated charging case provides an additional 40 hours of battery life. According to JBL, a 10-minute charge provides an hour of playback, and a full charge takes about two hours. It’s worth noting that the case is large, bulky, and difficult to open, and its slippery surface makes it difficult to hold. The companion app lets you adjust the equalizer, monitor battery level, switch between Ambient Aware and TalkThru modes or disable them, and customize touch controls.
They may not be the best choice if you’re looking for noise-canceling headphones or a more compact case. However, if you want ultra-durable workout headphones with a secure fit, long battery life, and excellent value, the JBL Endurance Peak 3 headphones are a worthy choice for sports enthusiasts, especially considering their $60 price tag.
