Quality classic wired earbuds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's nice to still have wired earbud options in 2026, the endurance run 3c do not disappoint. They're comfortable, fit great, durable, lightweight, and the sound quality is really good. They get very loud without distorting and I really like the ease of switching songs or adjusting the volume on the wire. The magnetic buds are a nice touch as well.

Good gym headphones
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones get the job done. If you are looking for a decent set of headphones to keep in your gym bag these fit the bill. The ear buds are magnetized which is an added bonus that helps keep them from turning into spaghetti when not it use. The medium rubber ear cones fit me out of the box, but there are additional options included to fit your ears. I used these for a few workouts which included cardio and resistance training and I didn’t have an issue with them staying in my ears.

Great fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fit great. They don’t fall out of my ears and they sound great. I use Apple Music and these headphones work well with lossless audio. The cable is nice and sturdy. Does not get tangled.

Comfortable and high quality sound in a simple pac
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the best in ear earbuds that I have used in a really long time. Super impressive sound quality and it really brings me back to a simpler time. There’s no need to worry about battery life and connectivity issues. Just plug and play. These will be my primary commuter earbuds from now on. Yet another impressive product from JBL!

Surprising performance with a simple design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple and go above expectations in performance. Love the design and comfort with fit. Sound is excellent with crisp highs and deeper than expected bass level. Controls are straight forward and easy to use. Love the overall comfort. Can listen to audio for hours with no issues. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple plug and play option.

Simple but premium earbuds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in search of a no frills, reliable, comfortable pair of earbuds that could connect to my phone without extra adapters, etc. These USB-C earbuds check all the boxes and more. The sound is what you’d expect from JBL, nice bass and crisp call quality on video or voice calls. I’ve been told my sound quality is excellent too from the inline mic. They are very light and durable, they can be (and have been) thrown around in my work and gym bag with no issues, seem to be made high quality plastic and rubber.
I love them for air travel, they will never run out of battery and they actually lay flat in my ears, I can use my neck pillow without them getting knocked out.
They can be worn traditionally, or to take advantage of the loop around the ear feature, you just swap sides and wear them upside down. Then loop the cord around the top of your ear. They stay in remarkably well.
A nifty feature is the back of the earbuds magnetically attach together so you can hang them around your neck when not in use. Not a deal breaker feature, but it’s a thoughtful touch.
The earbuds come packaged in paper (100% recyclable!) and a set of smaller and larger ear tips are included to get the perfect fit.

Great sound, Comfortable, and Hassle free
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Endurance Run 3C USB-C offer an impressive rich, high resolution sound, and a secure comfortable fit during a variety of activities. I like the convenience of not needing a charging case or keeping track of battery life. The wired setup keeps everything together in one place while offering a USB-C connection that works on most modern devices. I simply plug the earbuds into my phone or laptop and the sound works. No adapters needed and no more fighting with Bluetooth pairing. The build quality of these headphones feels solid. JBL provides a variety of ear tip sizes to find the perfect fit. I was able to find the perfect sized ear tips which helped these headphones easily be one of the most comfortable in-ear options I have ever used. It was nice to not have to constantly adjust the fit since the headphones stayed in place. The added peace of mind from the dust and water resistance meant I never needed to worry about damaging the headphones. The controls on the cable are easy to navigate and very responsive eliminating the need to pull out my phone to change tracks or adjust the sound level. There were no issues using the headphones for calls. I could hear the calls clearly and the people on the other end could also hear me clearly.
The sound quality of the JBL Endurance Run 3C headphones is excellent. The level of detail and clarity from the wired earbuds easily surpasses that of Bluetooth options. The 3 built-in selectable EQ curves helps get the best sound for your media type and preference. I prefer the available bass boost option because I usually have some sort of bass adjustment on my devices. However, I discovered that these headphones don’t respond well to EQ adjustments from my devices. A slight bass boost from the EQ on my music player causes a decent amount of distortion on punchy tracks. Using a flat EQ on my devices fixes this but keeps me from pushing the bass a bit more. I found the same issue across multiple devices I connected the headphones to. The Hi-Res certified audio from the headphones brings out the subtle details in music that really bring the sound to life. I was able to take advantage of Lossless audio options from my music providers for added detail and clarity.
Overall the JLB Endurance Run 3C earbuds offer an impressive mix of sound quality, convenience, and comfort that should work for anyone, especially those with an active lifestyle.The headphones are simple to use yet still let you customize the fit and sound experience to your personal preferences.

Very well fitted wired headphones!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best aspect: The fit!! It is the perfect fit for my ear. Usually when I run and I get sweaty, some headphones slide out or I have to keep readjusting them. With either orientation, this headphone stays in.
Pros: The fit as mentioned before. The sound is great. Feels like it’s noise cancelling even if it’s not. magnets to connect the earbuds are a must for me to avoid tangling when storing or transporting. And one of the most convenient benefits is that I never have to worry if it’s charged or not and if connecting will ever be an issue.
Cons: Corded for fitness purposes, but you would only buy this if you were specifically looking for corded. You can’t yet use USB-C corded headphones in airplanes yet, but that’s where I used corded headphones most. It’s nice if I’m not moving around much. The only other slight detail is that if I orient the headphone to loop around the ear, it doesn’t have structure or anything guiding it around the ear so it doesn’t tuck in too easily into place. But the fit is just as good in the classic orientation with the wire down, so it doesn’t really bother me.

Solid, reliable, wired earphone option!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Endurance Run 3C USB‑C headphones are a surprisingly solid wired option, especially if you normally rely on wireless gear. While wireless is still my preference, these make an excellent backup pair that I’m glad to have around.
Comfort and Fit
They’re lightweight, comfortable, and stay in place whether you’re moving around, working out, or just commuting. The FlipHook design gives you flexibility in how you wear them, and they never feel intrusive or awkward.
Performance and Practicality
The sound is clean and punchy for a wired set, and the USB‑C connection keeps things simple with modern devices. They’re not trying to be premium earbuds — they just work, and they work well.
Microphone Quality
The in-line microphone performs reliably for calls and meetings. Voices come through clearly, and the mic picks up speech without needing constant adjustment. It’s not meant for professional recording, but it’s more than capable for everyday calls and virtual meetings.
Plug Design
The USB‑C plug itself is a good, compact size and should fit easily into most phone or tablet cases. Some wired earbuds have bulky connectors that don’t seat properly with protective cases, but this one is slim enough to avoid that issue.
Magnetic Feature
The built‑in magnets are a neat touch. They snap together when not in use, which keeps them from tangling and makes them easy to stash in a bag or hang around your neck.
Versatility
These serve very well as a backup pair, a travel pair, or a dependable set to keep in your gym bag. They’re especially useful when your wireless headset dies or when you just want something simple and reliable for a workout.
Overall
Comfortable, durable, and versatile, the Endurance Run 3C headphones are a great wired option to have on hand. Even if wireless is your main setup, these are absolutely worth keeping as a dependable secondary pair.

Easy to use and sound great without needing to cha
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice little headphones. Plug and play, no brainer. They plug right into my phone or computer, no charging necessary. The sound quality is nicely balanced. The ear pieces fit perfectly and they're actually very close to noise canceling because they fit so well and don't fall out They came with 2 different size ear pieces, and the cord is nice and long with volume control on the cord. The only drawback might by they are one type of plug (see photos). But they're a great reliable no charge option otherwise.

High quality materials and balanced sound makes th
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well balanced sound coming out of these light and comfortable in-ear monitors. The preset bass EQ leans too much into the boomy side and the vocal one sounds good when listening to podcasts and asmr. The cable is rather thin but may be intentional to keep it from tangling. Hopeful that it lasts long as wired headphones tend to fray around the year mark. I like how the inline mic buttons are deep pockets covered in silicone , preventing accidental clicks which may end a call or pause my music at the wrong moments. All in all Its definitely worth a look if youre into crisp balanced sound at an affordable price

Fantastic Sound, Secure Fit, and USB-C Convenience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m really impressed with the JBL Endurance Run 3C wired headphones. The sound quality is fantastic, and they stay securely in my ears, even while moving around. They come with three different ear tip sizes, so it’s easy to get a comfortable, secure fit.
I love that they’re sweat-proof and water-resistant, which makes them great for workouts. The USB-C connection is a huge plus since everything I use now is USB-C. The in-line controls are super convenient—I can answer calls with the push of a button without stopping what I’m doing. It also works with Siri or Google Assistant by holding the button down.
Another great feature is the magnetic earbuds, which keep them together and prevent tangling. Overall, these are comfortable, practical, and sound amazing. Highly recommend!

Superior sound, super secure, and almost non exist
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The earphones were super comfortable and stayed in ears well. I didn’t even feel them in my ears. I typically would not have wired earbuds, but they turned out to be much more secure during running and workouts. I did find that no adapter works. I have a USB-C on my phone, but my girlfriend has a lightning port, so I got an adapter. The adapter didn’t work so I sent it back and got another, which didn’t work either, even though our phones are the same brand. The sound is superior, along the lines with JBL high quality earbuds. I will use them less often than my earbuds, but they will certainly be a good addition to my gym bag.

JBL does not disappoint once again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones sound good! Been a long time since I plugged in a pair of headphones. The ear pieces were snug and comfortable, which was a surprise because I typically have to use two different sizes. Sound quality was fantastic. No sound canceling, but they did not let much in with the tight ear pads. Pulled them from the box and plugged them in. No fuss. No battery worry due to being powered by the phone. The in line volume up and down control is simple and easy to use. Very happy with these headphones!

Great sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones fit securely and sound is great. Cancels background noise. More secure than pods and harder to lose. The only downside is not bring to use the headphones and connect a charger at the same time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL Endurance Run 3C is nice. The Twistlock helps keep them snug in the ear. The sound quality is great! The presets makes it to set the sound quality for different genres of music I listen to. The control pad is easy to use when skipping to the next song or answering a call. It's sweat proof. So taking runs or walks won't effect it.

Good headphones for what they're worth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These headphones deliver a decent quality sound for what they're worth. I like how comfortable and snug the eartips are and don't fall out when I'm going for a run. Also very nice how the cables don't tangle up.

Reliable, Comfortable, and Great-Sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the JBL Endurance Run 3C for everyday listening and at the office and I've been genuinelyimpressed. The 8mm driver delivers the bold JBL signature sound with punchy bass and crispy highs.
The standout feature for me is the Fliphook and Twistlock designs. You can wear these ear buds either in ear or behind the ear and nit have to worry about them falling off during a run or workout. They stay secure and comfortable the entire time.
With phones no longer having a headset jack the USB-C connection is a welcomed upgrade for modern devices. While they are wired headphones the earbuds are magnetic and help avoid tangling when stored away.

Awesome earbuds with great quality audio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Endurance Run 3c Wired is very light; the cable is thick but flexible and long enough to be used without problems while jogging or at the gym doing exercises, and it gives you the impression that it was built with good components.
I love that now the earpieces have magnets that attract each other, leading to better cable management and less tangling when they are not in use. The earbuds fit just right into my ears; they are very comfortable, and they come with extra pads too. They stay in the ear while moving around. One thing I would have loved is if the earbuds had indicators of which one is right and left because despite these fitting just fine either way, they are more comfortable when used the correct way.
As always with JBL products, the audio quality is superb. The voices and the sound are very clear, with no distortion, crisp highs, and deep bass.
There aren’t many features and choices when it comes to audio features, but you do get in-line volume control and the pause button right in the little console that hangs at the chin level along the right ear's cable. The remote abilities are limited—you can play or pause music, answer or end calls, or skip tracks forward or backward. I like that you really have to make an effort to press the buttons on the console to do anything, like pressing volume up or pausing; it prevents unintentional clicks while moving around.
The microphone quality is also excellent; when talking on the phone in a noisy environment, I don't have to talk loud so the people on the other line can hear me clearly. After recording myself and listening back, I was very impressed; I can hear myself very well even if I didn't speak loudly. I guess it helps that the mic is right there next to my mouth.
I also noticed it has less background noise than the wireless options I have; there is no way to turn it off, it is like having active noise cancellation at all times, but it works great.

Nice with the magnetic feature but the bass was no
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the magnetic pieces to the headphones. I never really thought that would matter but it really helps with tangling. I like that it came with 3 different earbud sizes. It worked great with my Apple iPhone 16 pro as it’s a USB-C connection BUT I did not hear the BOOM I would like to hear and when comparing to other earphones I have.
