JBL Endurance Peak 3 vs Shokz OpenRun Pro 2

Buy the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 if you run or ride outdoors and want to hear traffic, or if fit and sound quality matter most. Buy the JBL Endurance Peak 3 only if you want sealed in-ear buds with an ear hook that will not fall out and you accept the reported sound and control issues. The Shokz is the safer pick: owners consistently praise comfort, fit, sound and battery, while JBL owners are split, with complaints about windy sound, tight fit and touch controls that stop working.

• Choose the JBL Endurance Peak 3 if you want true wireless in-ear buds with a locking ear hook for the gym and do not need to hear your surroundings.
• Choose the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 if you run or cycle outdoors, want open-ear awareness, and value comfort and sound quality over sealed isolation.
