JBL has unveiled its latest pair of open running headphones, the JBL Endurance Zone. Acting as the brand's first open-ear sports earbuds, the Endurance Zone promise to "last through the toughest of workouts" while delivering the kind of peppy sound to keep you motivated across the miles.

Aside from that open fit, wherein the driver is positioned on the ear rather than actively entering it, the new buds feature an over-ear hook for greater security during workouts and sporting activities.
