![]() It recites in a sound replete with the vibrancy of multiple instruments, a calculable rhythm of beats, and striking levels of depth. Like most people rely on a cup of a fresh brew of coffee or tea for a kickstart, my day inches forward only at the speed of a tortoise without listening to music, and I must say that the JBL Endurance Sprint Bluetooth headset has been a pleasant aide in starting the day better. The headset is IPX7 rated for water resistance and while it should prevent sweat or rains from sabotaging your fitness regime, I cannot guarantee that the headset will survive if you swim with. Overall, while I’m delighted by the quality of the earbuds, and don’t find the headset to be bulky, I wish the joining cable felt more secure and sturdy. At the end of each earband, there is an exclamation mark similar to the one in JBL’s logo and while it may seem to have some function, just like the touch area, it is only for show. I wish the magnets also helped automate pause when the headset is removed but that doesn’t happen either. ![]() The earbands on the JBL Endurance Sprint come with magnets but I don’t see a utility except for letting me wear the headset like a ( poorly chosen) choker. I also wish this cable was slightly longer as the current length slightly restricts neck movement. While the connecting cable does not feel fragile, I feel a flexible neckband – or at least, a flat wire – would have done justice and added to the better positioning of the headset. While the build of the earbuds is sturdy and immaculate, there is no neckband which makes they earbuds vulnerable to falling off or sliding to one side due to their weight. ![]() When I first learned about the feature, I was impressed and amazed but my experience hasn’t been very pleasant I’ll talk about it in the coming sections. Swiping across the touch area is also how you change the volume of the headset, and to increase the volume, one must swipe upwards from the bottom, whereas swiping in the reverse direction lowers the volume. To turn it back off, the area must be held for two seconds again. Tapping twice on the logo forwards the track while to switch to the previous one, you must tap thrice in quick successions. To switch on the earphones, one must tap and hold for two seconds, or continue holding for five seconds to enter the pairing. Under the JBL logo on the right earbud, there is a touch-sensitive area which is the sole point of contact for all operations. The earbands easily wrap around the cartilage to prevent the earbuds from falling off. This, from my understanding, shifts the center of gravity forward and keeps the earphones stable and well planted in the ear despite countless jolts due to running or any other vigorous physical activity. ![]() The JBL Endurance Sprint Bluetooth headset has a design ridgy unlike any other commonly known pair of earphones. And, while I usually just throw away the user manuals but in this case, I had to pay close attention to the instructions to be able to figure out the touch controls, which I’ll discuss later. I must highlight that the JBL Endurance Sprint headset is neatly tucked in the vividly painted box, aiming at users who take their fitness routine very seriously.
