The buds feature JBL Pure Bass sound, four microphones for calls, and multiple sports modes via the JBL Headphones app. With up to 12 hours of playtime per charge (and up to 48 hours total with the case), these buds are a solid value for runners and gym goers who want a no-frills sport earbud with dependable life. They are comfortable for many ears thanks to wing-enhanced tips and a straightforward control scheme.
