JBL Endurance Peak 3 | Are they Good Workout Earbuds?

The JBL Endurance Peak 3 was released earlier this year, and since I recently reviewed the JBL Endurance Peak 2, I thought it be a good time to review this latest model. The Endurance Peak II was a great functional earbud but felt somewhat limited. Does the Endurance Peak 3 improve on the weaknesses of the previous model? I answer that and a few other questions about who these workout earbuds are for and why you may or may not want to pick these up.
In this video, I'll share what I enjoyed about the JBL Endurance Peak 23 and what I didn't like about them. I will also let you know whether you should get these or the older JBL Endurance Peak II.
Let me know if you are looking to try these out, and if you have them already, let me know how you like them in the comments below!

Great review, thanks for the specific positives and negative issues. Enjoyed the clip with the hot dog fingers with Jaime Lee Curtis, nice touch. I will get a pair and see how they work.

[@ardentlytech]

Hahaha glad you enjoyed that clip. I loved that movie. Also glad you found this video helpful! hope they work well for you!

[@simply_the_dev7588]

Wireless charging isn't a big deal for me. It's always so much faster just connecting it then wireless chargers. Also I kinda want to hear my surroundings, have you seen this world? I'm not tripping on noise cancellation part either.

[@ardentlytech]

Yeah totally valid points! I think these would be nearly perfect for you in that case. Are you thinking of picking these up or do you have them already?

[@simply_the_dev7588]

@ardentlytech I just bought them before watching this. Works great for me. They don't fall out. No problems for me. To be fair I don't know all the technical terms for better earbuds. I'm simple. My phone can be charged wireless but after learning about how it works and it's restrictions I'm good on just fast charging on my oneplus charger.

[@reactedboss99]

I might buy these for work idk yet. Just need good sounding ear buds for a good price that'll stay in my ears and these looks like they might be it.

I Just have seen a video review of 5 sport clips Earbuds and JBL weren't in the 3 !!! And you both explained these exactly the same way !!! I liked and Subscribed especially seeing your video list !!!

[@ardentlytech]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it

[@creole75]

Mine don't sit as flush to my ear as yours and flare out quite a bit. I also think the hook is too short (for me) but the buds still are secure. The hook being a power switch makes no sense to me and is aggravating that the buds power off every time I need to remove it for whatever reason. Touch control is ok but prefer physical buttons like my powerbeats pro any time. Sound and calls are ok.

[@ardentlytech]

I didn't think of that! That makes these hook earbuds tricky since they aren't typically adjustable. Thanks for sharing your experience with these!

[@CELTIC_5]

I have been trying to decide on these or the powerbeats pros. Which ones have better sound quality for music?

[@kishorpashaimon1989]

Great review bud. Thanks. Ordering one.

[@Longsen]

I was thinking about buying these, because I need some buds with the hook. I purchased some Samsung Galaxy Buds+ a few years ago & get so annoyed of them, because they keep falling out of my ears, so I'm looking for something that has the over the ear hook. What earbuds would you say are better than these & has the hook over the ear?

[@locoocho2415]

[@gabrielaugusto990]

Watch out your Leg Press bud, don't extend your knees like that, it isn't safe

[@codebebop]

The problem mine now, after getting them for Christmas this past December, is the right earbud has less sound than the left. When at work I keep the left off because I need to be aware of my surrounding more while listening to podcasts. If a angle it with my hand I get more sound. Thought I was going dead but I switched to the left ear and it’s the same thing. Any suggestions will help.

[@ardentlytech]

Sorry to hear you’re having issues! Since it hasn’t been a year they do still fall within JBLs one year warranty. That said I think you may have the endurance peak 2 because (at least for where I live) these just came out spring 2023. Hope that helps

[@NikWicked]

Peak 3 right? Is it maybe the ambient aware and talk through features? I use my left primarily and sometimes the sound suffers after a few hours. idk if I'm unintentionally enabling the features though, as I'm not too familiar with the controls yet. 😅

[@ardentlytech]

@@NikWicked Talk through is such a weird feature for me I never use it. It could totally be that! And I agree, I love that they connect to the app for that reason! touch controls can sometimes get easy to confuse

[@AntonStreefkerk]

Short term i think it woud help if you change where the sound is louder. In the jbl app you have a slider where you can change that. It wont be perfect i think, but it will hopefully suffice until either warranty gives u new ones or u buy new ones.

[@kiboorg1236]

Maybe it would be helpful to check your hearing as well.

[@zugdsbtngizudsgbnudsdsoiu]

Can you completely disable the touch controls through the app? Main problem with endurance peak 2 for me was that in rainy weather when having a hoodie or some other headwear it would trigger the touch controls of the earphones (especially when its windy) which is super super annoying.

[@ardentlytech]

What other earbuds are you considering? and what feature in earbuds is most important for you?

[@elganhartopo185]

@@ardentlytech hmm first of all the comfort, since I usually use it for a prolong period like 5-8h

[@ardentlytech]

I never used these for that long but they were very comfortable for the 1-2 hours I would use them at the gym. These are one of the most comfortable hooked earbuds ive tried. I usually get a headache after a while but it did not happen with these. Another earbud i would reccommend is the JBL Live pro 2. I've used those for long periods of time during work and haven't had issues with them. I did put foam tips on those those. Hope that's helpful. I'm happy to answer anymore questions if you have any

[@elganhartopo185]

[@ardentlytech]

@@elganhartopo185 I haven't tried the Endurance Peak 3. But between the Endurance Peak 3 and the Live Pro 2, I would personally go for the Live Pro 2! I think they have an overall better sound and are feature-rich. Plus they are on sale for a good price on Amazon right now.

[@ShaimaNada]

Would you recommend me JBL version or any other brand with the same price or little more but without issues of the peak 3 one and have ANC please? 😊

[@ardentlytech]

Lol if you have the budget for a more expensive model like the power beats pro, then I'd recommend especially if ANC is a must have for you. But these are decent for their value point

[@balamurali3764]

Is it possible to use each earbud individually? Like. I use one bud while the other is charging. Then when the one I'm using dies, I swap for the other one. Can these buds do that?

[@harlannguyen4048]

Yes

[@geovang5151]

Sound quality is decent! I don't notice any issues that bothered me with sound quality. But as for isolation it's okay but not perfect.

[@jesusdudebamadude5559]

@ardentlytech so which did you think had vetter sound quality the Beats or JBLS'S. I got a little lost

Is it worth buying if I own Powerbeats Pro ??

[@josueormonde9799]

Hi! I do sports, including a lot of running but i also want earbuds for regular lifestyle and of course i dont want to buy two different earbuds. What's the best combination of the two worlds? Can JBL Endurance Peak III be a good choise?

[@ardentlytech]

Great question! In my opinion they could serve you in that way though I personally perfer having two different ones for different uses. These will be some of the most secure buds you can get but if you want to look into other options, I'd recommend the JBL Live Pro 2 which I reviewed last year: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYeYhYpnoNdqlcU those were great for working out, so could be decent for running but still easy to put on and off. hope this helps in your search!

If you have an iPhone it has built in noise cancellation that is superb. It works with any ear buds even the cheapest ones

[@croutons9590]

Do they have audio leakage? I have some old AirPods 2 gen that I use but they leak audio so bad. I just want something cheap that will work fine.

[@ardentlytech]

Good question! Genuinely don’t recall them having much if any as long as they are sealed well and at a decent level. Most of the time I’ve used them was in louder environments so I didn’t think too much about audio leak. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful here

[@alexpolalex844]

Are this JBL better, than the Soundcore sportx10?

[@ardentlytech]

I haven’t tried those but I love these endurance peak 3 a lot. Hopefully someone who’s tried both can provide deeper insights

[@tightend122000]

I’m going to be honest here. I have tried both and these are not better than the Powerbeats pro. The controls are not good at all on the JBL. JBL is also not very comfortable. I also didn’t like the lack of bass despite having an equalizer that I felt was pretty much useless. The good thing was the ambient noise control, but that’s about it. With the Powerbeats currently coming in at $70 more expensive than the JBL, I am willing to pay that for more comfort, sound quality and easier control of the buttons.

[@ardentlytech]

Love this! Thanks for sharing this comparison. I haven’t had extensive experience with the Powerbeats but glad to hear they are still worth the price tag! Also it may just be the size of my ears but I definitely remember having ear pain with the Powerbeats and none with the JBLs but I def think that’s just gunna vary depending on each persons ears. Thanks again, super insightful, hope they make an updated Powerbeats soon

[@mustacenga]

Dont know the USA prices but in my country power beats are 3 times more pricy tban JBL so it's not a good idea to compare them.

[@Xraycrayon]

But how is the sound quality?

[@ardentlytech]

I personally think they sound great, I’m not an audiophile so take that with a grain of salt. Some people have complained about how loud they get but I thought they were fine tbh.

[@markish9356]

what is the sound like?

[@ardentlytech]

Is good! Good bass and not over the top.

[@pianosfilipem]

The fact they don't. have active noise cancelling is a deal breaker for me. Every headphones should have it

Soooooo. Is the JBL endurance peak 3 better than the power Beats Pro? Unless i missed it.

[@ardentlytech]

As someone who's only tried it a few times a couple years ago, I think they are just as good as the power beats pro for a fraction of the price. I cant say for sure if they are actually better but I'm sure these wont disappoint you.

[@mannyflanders7]

I will say personally, I’ve had Powerbeats pro, JBL Endurance peak 1, 2, and just got the 3 today, I prefer the JBL better, they’re smaller, more comfortable, better seal in your ear, and as stated in the video- a fraction of the cost. The Powerbeats did connect more seamlessly but tbh for what the JBL Endurance Peak 3 offer, I think they surpass the Powerbeats a little better. I haven’t used the powerbeats since 2021 so my memory of how they performed is not the best, I had the Endurance peak 2 from 2021-2023, tbh the whole Endurance Peak series are my favorite TWS earbuds

[@inescaro8583]

thank yo so muuuch! love it

[@ardentlytech]

Glad to help!

[@locoocho2415]

Does this #3 or # 2 have separate volume control?

[@ardentlytech]

The Endurance Peak 3 does technically have volume control but you have to set up the touch controls to be that in the app. On the Peak 2 you're able to swipe forward and back to control volume. For some reason they removed that feature in the Peak 3. Hope that answers your question.

[@blisstonia]

i just got these today on a cyber monday deal and I am honestly going to return them. they are comfortable but to me, the sound quality is not good at all.

Dang sorry they aren’t working out for you! What earbud are you thinking of picking up instead?

I've had two pairs of the peak 2. At first they worked great, but both pairs eventually failed with 7 months with low volume in one ear bud. Factory reset didnt work. Long term quality 🗑.

I used them today in the pool and unfortunately they stoped the music every time I pushed my head in the water, because the headphones think that I touched them. I hope that JBL will patch this up with a swimming mode on the app? So that there is no control while your swimming and you can control your headphones via your smartwatch. I really hope so, because I brought them for swimming 😂 I will still keep them because I needed in ear headphones anyway.

Totally understand how that title is misleading! When I filmed the video I had more to say about the two but I think most of it got cut out for the sake of trying to keep the video around 10 mins. Thanks for noting that. I will make an adjustment to the title to not mislead others! If you're interested in some of my main points between the two. The JBL Edurance Peak 3 are great in comparison but the Power beats pro have larger drivers so they will get a bit louder if that matters to you. On the other hand the Peak 3 have amazing amount of battery life that comes in if you need that and I do think they feel more comfortable than the powerbeats pro over a longer amount of time. Hope that helps a bit more, sorry you felt mislead!

So, even though these are made for runners and “workout enthusiasts,” people who don’t workout will still purchase this product.

To put it briefly, the sound on the Endurance peak 3 are good, not overly bass heavy, which is something I personally dislike, but they don't get too loud which I don't mind but I've heard some people complain about that. Overall decent sound but not something that will compete with more expensive earbuds. hope that helps! and Thanks again for pointing that out!
