AudioHeadphonesJBL just announced a bunch of new earbuds at CESThese include plenty of open-ear designs that allow users to hear ambient noise when necessary.Lawrence BonkContributing ReporterMon, January 5, 2026 at 1:00 PM UTCJBL just revealed a bunch of new earbuds at CES 2026, suiting just about every ear canal out there.First up, there are several new additions to the Endurance line of sports-adjacent earbuds.The baddest of the bunch is likely the Endurance Zone, which offers 32 hours of battery life and fast charging.They include the company's proprietary OpenSound technology, which directs audio signals to the ears without blocking the ear canal.
This means that wearers should be able to detect ambient noise during a workout.This is extremely helpful when someone is asking to use the machine because you've been staring at your phone instead of doing reps.The Zone earbuds also offer multipoint connections, earhooks for stability and an exterior designed for long-term durability.These buds cost $180 and will be available later this month.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Endurance Peak 4 earbuds don't integrate with OpenSound, but do offer superior battery life to the Zone.
They can get up to 48 hours per charge, when factoring in the included charging case.They cost $130 and will also be purchasable later in January.The Endurance Pace wraparound earbuds are a fairly budget-friendly way to get access to that OpenSound tech.They cost just $90, but the battery maxes out at 10 hours, as there's no charging case.
Look for these later this month.The Endurance Run 3 are extremely budget-friendly earbuds, with prices ranging from $25 to $35.These are wired devices, with a USB-C model and a 3.5mm model.They'll be available in February.The JBL Sense Pro also includes OpenSound and can play spatial content.
The battery and case lasts up to 38 hours and there's wireless charging.These are designed for hi-fi audio, so they include redesigned drivers and a bass boosting algorithm.There are four integrated microphones for making calls.
These earbuds cost $200, with availability in March.The JBL Sense Lite earbuds, as the name suggests, are extremely light and made to be worn all day.They include OpenSound tech, 32 hours of battery life and touch controls.These buds will also be available in March, with a price of $150.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementFinally, there are the Soundgear Clips.
As the name suggests, these lightweight earbuds clip to the ears.They also use the company's OpenSound air-conduction technology.The earbuds are fairly striking, with a metallic tint and translucent finish.
The battery life clocks in at 32 hours and can do fast charging.They cost $150 and will also go on sale this March.
