There's adequate thump and punch in the bass range to compliment genres like EDM and hip-hop, but an overemphasis in the treble range makes vocals and instruments sound harsh and piercing. Their default sound profile is fairly neutral. They also have an IP54 rating for protection against dust and water exposure and a battery that lasts just over eight hours on a single charge, making them well-suited for days in the office and weekends out on the trail. These lightweight earbuds don't have the same ear hook design as the JBL Endurance Peak 3 True Wireless, but they stay in your ear during moderate exercise. The JBL Vibe Beam True Wireless are the best JBL wireless earbuds in the budget range we've tested. The hooks also don't accommodate smaller ears well, meaning you'll need to adjust them more often. They'll do better to cut out chatty coworkers and noisy AC units in an office, but their tight ear hook design gets uncomfortable during long workdays. Unfortunately, these headphones aren't versatile off the trail or treadmill, as they can't passively isolate you from much ambient noise, like rumbling bus engines. This is an improvement from the previous generation, the JBL Endurance Peak II True Wireless, which has no app compatibility, leaving you unable to change their sound profile if you aren't a fan. If you want a different sound, though, their companion app has a graphic EQ and presets to fine-tune the mix to your liking.

Their default sound profile is very bass-heavy, which will complement genres like R&B and hip-hop. They also have an IP68 rating which protects them against dust and brief submersion in water, and have a 10-hour continuous battery life, meaning they won't die to get damaged during long, arduous excursions in more unpredictable terrain. The JBL Endurance Peak 3 True Wireless have a sport-oriented look, with ear hooks and a 'TwistLock' design that give them great stability during moderate and intense exercise. The JBL Live Pro+ TWS True Wireless are similar earbuds that are more comfortable and less likely to fall out of your ears during workouts, but they have a less effective ANC and shorter continuous battery life. Unfortunately, they don't have the most comfortable or stable fit and can pop out of your ears when you're talking. The earbuds are well-built and have a great customizable control scheme.

You can always top them up in the case, which holds around three extra charges. The JBL's battery lasts about eight hours of continuous use, and there's an auto-off timer to help conserve power when you're not using the buds. It's well-suited for genres like pop and rock, but the companion app has a parametric EQ and presets if you prefer a different sound. They have a slightly V-shaped sound profile, so your audio has extra rumble and punch while instruments are bright. These earbuds have an ANC feature that can reduce noise like rumbling engines during your commute or background chatter at the office.
