Score: 78/100Rankings

The JBL Endurance Run 2 Wired earbuds deliver punchy bass and a secure, sweat-proof fit for active users. They are lightweight and feature an in-line mic, but lack wireless freedom and active noise cancellation.

Apple EarPods with Lightning connector are wired earbuds designed for iOS devices, offering a comfortable intra-concha fit, clear stereo sound and integrated controls. While they lack ANC and a 3.5 mm jack, they provide solid build quality and sweat resistance for everyday use.
