JBL Endurance Race 2
Score: 73/100Rankings
The EarFun Air 2 offers excellent sound quality with LDAC support, long battery life and IPX7 protection, making it a strong choice for Android users and active lifestyles. Its lack of ANC and occasional LDAC stability issues keep it from being a premium contender.
The JBL Endurance Race 2 is a rugged true-wireless earbud built for athletes, offering IP68 protection, 48 h total battery life and ANC with Smart Ambient, while delivering a secure Twistlock fit and multi-point Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. Minor drawbacks include overly sensitive touch controls when wet and a case that isn't fully waterproof.
