On top of their portability, these true wireless active earbuds also feature a unique ergonomic Powerhook design, as each earbud comes equipped with a bendable TwistLock ear hook enhancer that can be easily bent and have it completely adjusted to each user’s ears in order to have the earbuds fit each individual user both comfortably and securely.
The earbuds’ ergonomic Powerhook design ultimately ensures that they never fall out of a user’s ears, even during intense activities and/or sports.
Still in topic of wearing the JBL Endurance Peak 3 Earbuds and a user’s overall level of comfort while wearing them, it’s also worth mentioning that these earbuds also come together with a total of three (x3) sets of Detachable Silicone Eartips of different sizes (S, M, and L) included in their package, thus allowing users to choose the eartip-size that they’re more comfortable with.
Regarding the earbuds’ overall look, the JBL Endurance Peak 3 also feature a modern and discrete design, as their outer shell comes in a solid Black Matte color (also available in flat White) that not only gives the earbuds a stylish and minimalist look, but also allows them to go perfectly well with any sort of clothing.
Furthermore, these earbuds also feature a fairly durable construction, and are even rated to have a IP68 Waterproof Rating, meaning that they’re rated to be capable of withstanding being submerged underwater at depths up to 4.92 ft. (1.5 m) of fresh or even salt water for up to 30 minutes.
Lastly, the earbuds also come together with a dedicated wireless charging case, which, similarly to the earbuds, is also somewhat compact, measuring just 2.28 inches long by 1.40 inches wide by 3.58 inches tall (57.94 x 35.57 x 90.93 mm), and also reasonably lightweight, weighing just 2.7 oz. (76.54 g).
The earbud’s case also comes in that same sleek Black Matte color (or White, if you choose that color model), and also features a fairly durable construction.
AUDIO SPECS & AUDIO QUALITY
Moving on to the earbuds’ audio specifications and audio quality. For reproducing their outstanding sound quality, each of these earbuds comes equipped with a 10mm Dynamic Sound Driver, which is powered by JBL Pure Bass Sound technology.
