Our Verdict

Anker SoundCore Spirit X Wireless

JBL Endurance Dive Wireless

The Anker SoundCore Spirit X Wireless are slightly better sports headphones than the JBL Endurance Dive Wireless. The Anker are more comfortable, and their physical controls are easier to use than the touch-sensitive area of the JBL. The Anker fit nicely inside the ears, are very stable for sports, and their sound quality is also a bit more accurate. The Anker also have almost double the amount of battery life. The JBL’s fit isolates against a good amount of ambient noise, making them a better option for commuting. Their cable is also thicker and rubberized, which makes them more durable than the Anker. The JBL also have a noticeably better wireless range and have onboard storage for when you want to use them for swimming or working out without a phone.
