“I got these to replace my old  waterproof headphones that broke. So far, I generally like it. Comfortable and functional. My only two complains (one of which I knew before purchasing) are : 1) all functions are on one part of the right earpiece and based on taps instead of physical buttons which sometimes can be annoying if i'm clicking quickly. (i.e., 1 tap does one function, 2 or 3 does something else), and 2) volume control can be a pain and I still haven't "mastered it" for some reason. Overall, happy with the purchase.”

“Was not pleased at all because I found them to fall out of the ear easily on flip turns of swimming and the controls to change simply with the water rushing across the controls.

However, a swim cap should be able to hold them in the ear better AND the controls are able to be locked. So, I will give them another go.

I find the sound to be very good on land.”

“These in-ear headphones are just what I was looking for... a waterproof, comfortable, bluetooth enabled connection to my favorite worship music or teaching whether I'm whitewater kayaking, biking, hiking or anything else for that matter. Awesome runtime and quick recharge are a winning combo. Storable mp3 capacity was a surprise bonus so I'm still being blessed even without my phone. If these ever die I'm buying more!!!”

“I was really excited to get these after reading some of the reviews. I was only purchasing for swimming. I cannot understand how anyone can swim with these. The touch controls are so sensitive you end up skipping tracks or pausing when you're trying to adjust the volume, and even if you don't touch them, the water will do that. I know you're supposed to be able to lock the controls, but good luck with that.I tried. Also if you wear goggles when swimming, there  is no good way to get the headphone on your ear. Maybe it was just me, but I could not get these to stay on my head and work for 1 lap of swimming. And I tried several times.”

“My husband wanted some decent in ear headphones and didn’t realize he picked up these for swimming. He is not a swimmer mind you, but it is helpful to have a headphone that can be wet and still perform. So far I haven’t heard anything bad about them.

I will say that the set up was not very easy.”

“First set I ever tried with comfortable plugs!  The material feels soft and the sound is great for In_Ear.

I haven't had a chance to use them for swimming put they block outside noise well, I assume they help blocking water replacing swimming ear plugs.

Very sensitive controls...”

“I was so excited when I bought the headphones, so I charged them up and use them for an inaugural swimming. I know that Bluetooth doesn't work well in water, but these things kept falling out of my ears. I gave them a second chance and again the same thing. The headphones are not ergonomically friendly and they are a bit clunky given all the technology to create a slimmer product. Please look around before you purchase these, because they are not what they portray to be.”

“I got these earbuds 8 days ago, and for the most part I am happy.  I love having onboard mp3s and going phone-free while still having music for my workouts and breaks.  I also like the sound and the fit.

I only have two qualms, really.  First, maybe 5% of the time I will still have challenges controlling my music, and it takes me an extra 10-30 seconds to play my song or what have you.  I am hoping I will get better at the controls over time and with practice.

Second and unexpectedly, each time I wear them out in cold weather the earbuds hardware (maybe the speaker cone?) somehow makes one audible click and the sound goes softer temporarily.  The effect seems to undo itself every time the earbuds warm back up, but then the cycle repeats if they get cold again.  Not a big deal - I can still hear music at some volume regardless, no matter the temperature - just a little annoying to being listening to music happily outside in cold weather, then you hear a random click and the volume drops.  I recommend that JBL do some cold air testing and maybe a little re-engineering for the next iteration.  Besides getting used to the controls and the cold weather thing, though, I can't think of any other qualms.

Everything accounted for, the onboard mp3s are the real beauty of this unit.  Based on my 8 days of use, I recommend these earbuds for anyone looking for good sounding music with the freedom of onboard mp3 storage - so long as you are patient enough to learn the controls and especially if you do not plan to wear them in cold air.  Again, I personally really enjoy the freedom of having onboard mp3s - that is the main differentiating factor and really the only reason to get a JBL Endurance DIVE versus some other model.

Pros:

*Convenience and portability.  Having music without a separate device is awesome.  I love the JBL Endurance DIVE for working out.  Note I have not tried swimming with these - just running outdoors, working out at the gym, or basic indoor use.

*Sound.  I think these sound pretty good.  They have also worked fine for phone calls.

*Fit.  The earbuds come with 3 different sizes of inner ear earpiece.

*Charging.  These charge with a standard micro USB; no fancy proprietary chargers here.  Thank you, JBL.

*Bluetooth mode works fine with my iPhone.  No problems.

Cons:

*Cold weather use.  When I wear these outside and the temperature is, say, below 50 degrees, there comes a point when I will hear/feel something click within the unit, and the volume will drop temporarily, until I bring it back into a warmer environment.

*On/off controls.  In my experience, the unit turns itself on when you hook it onto your ear, then turns itself off when you unhook it.  There are times when I'm talking with a friend and I unhook one ear and then find that the unit has turned off.

*1 GB storage is a little small.  I would prefer 2 GB, 4 GB, or more.”

“Sound is very good, fit is not horrible just a bit weird. And there is no power button, the earpieces are magnetic which shuts them down when not being used and powers them on when put into your ears. Not using them for swimming so I can't say anything about the waterproofing or lack of.”

“I purchased these earbuds because they were waterproof not water resistant. I do lawn care for a living, so I sweat heavily constantly and I get rained on alot. They claim waterproof. I don't know what happened, but on day 17 they just quit working. I do not live close to any Best Buys, so I haven't had time to take them back and get them looked at.”

Most users have given favorable reviews on Jbl endurance dive, indicating that it is a good product for swimming with good waterproof performance. But it is not without its shortcomings. In-ear headphones have a common problem that they are not suitable for wearing for a long time, because it is easy to bring discomfort to the ears. And its MP3 memory has only 1G, which may not be enough for people who like listening to music. If you are a person who likes doing swim workouts, I highly recommend that you choose a pair of swimming headphones with both MP3 mode(has 32G memory) and Bluetooth mode to replace it, such as Wissonly Hi Runner bone conduction headphones.

Wissonly’s team is a technical expert in the field of bone conduction headphones. As early as 10 years ago, it began to develop bone conduction headphones that do not hurt the ears,and it mainly produces high-performance bone conduction headphones. The products have good sound quality, low sound leakage, high waterproof level, High comfort, high-cost performance, and other features, that received support from sports fans.

Hi Runner is the flagship product of Wissonly.As you can tell from the name, it's perfect for any sports.The Hi Runner bone conduction headphones are waterproof to the industry standard IPX8 rating, allowing the wearer to function properly while swimming or divingThe overall frame of it is made of adjustable aviation-grade titanium steel, which can adapt to different sizes of head circumference and ensure the stability of wearing, so that you don’t have to worry about the headphones falling off during exercise. Its weight is very light, less than 30g, so it will not feel heavy when worn.The surface of its headphones is made of high-tech low-sensitivity silicone material, which does not contain chemical ingredients to avoid allergies,which avoiding discomfort when worn for a long time.

In terms of wearing, it is open-ear design. This means that it can be worn directly on the temple, so your ear canal is completely open and you can hear the surrounding sounds. Let you can rest assured in the outdoor running, walking.This kind of open ear design makes you wear it for a long time without discomfort, which is healthier and cleaner.

It also equipped with 32GB of built-in storage, which can store 5,000 songs and supports both Bluetooth and MP3 modes of operation. When exercising underwater or you don't want to bring a smartphone, you can use it as a Bluetooth MP3 player. It's really very convenient!

Since it is a wireless headphone that needs to be charged, you may be concerned about its battery life. Yes, swimming workout is a long process, you have to consider battery life. The Hi Runner's battery life is so strong that it can listen to music for 10 hours straight, making up for the shortcomings of wireless headphones.
