JBL Endurance Race 2 Waterproof sports true wireless

32.2 Score
true-wirelessANCIP68
Why we recommend this

The IP68 rating survives submersion in fresh or salt water, with 48 hours of playback and 6.8mm JBL Pure Bass drivers—though the case is only IPX2, so dry buds before docking. Twistlock wing enhancers keep buds stable during intense movement, while Smart Ambient and six Sports Mode presets in the JBL app tune ANC and EQ per workout. Best for swimmers, runners, and gym-goers prioritizing durability and battery over call quality—the 4-mic array scored just 13.3/100 in call tests.
