Philips USB-C Earbuds
Score: 76/100
JBL Endurance Run 2
Score: 66/100Rankings
Philips USB-C Earbuds Wired with Microphone deliver a wide 7-40 kHz Hi-Res audio range, built-in DAC and convenient in-line controls in a lightweight package. They miss Bluetooth connectivity, active noise cancellation, and strong water-resistance, which may limit use for modern smartphones and intense workouts. Best suited for budget-conscious listeners who need high-resolution wired audio on devices with a 3.5 mm jack.
The JBL Endurance Run 2 are wired sports earbuds with a secure fit, IPX5 sweat resistance and strong bass. Their lack of wireless capability and low consumer scores limit appeal for modern users. Best suited for budget-conscious athletes who own a 3.5 mm audio source.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Even though no formal user reviews were found, product pages highlight praise for the comfortable multi-size ear tips and the convenient built-in mic and controls, while recurring complaints focus on the short cable length and the lack of robust water-resistance for active use.
Professional reviewers emphasize the Endurance Run 2's secure, ergonomic fit and IPX5 sweat-proofing, noting its JBL Pure Bass sound and full audio range as solid for a budget wired earbud. However, they criticize the lack of wireless capability, limited editorial testing, and low aggregated consumer scores.
Everyday users provide mixed feedback: a few highlight the sweat-proof durability and magnetic cable management as useful for low-budget workouts, while the majority express disappointment due to incompatibility with devices lacking a 3.5 mm jack and an overall low satisfaction rating.
