Our Verdict
Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless
JBL Endurance Dive Wireless
The Beats Powerbeats3 Wireless are better sports headphones than the JBL Endurance Dive Wireless. Their fit is more comfortable, and their in-line remote might be easier to use than the touch-sensitive surface of the JBL, especially during physical activity. They fit a bit more securely inside the ear too, which is great for sports. They sound a bit more neutral and have noticeably more battery life. On the other hand, the JBL have internal storage, meaning that you can use them in the water without Bluetooth, and their fit creates an air-tight seal that blocks a good amount of ambient noise, making them a better option for commuting.
