Reviews for JayBird BlueBuds X Premium Bluetooth Headphones

This thing sounds terrible if not fitted right. Takes a bit of fudging to get it right.
It's otherwise a pretty sweet headphone, a bit on the expensive side though.

If you hold the phone in a certain way the sound will cut out. At the gym the sound cuts out while the phone is in my pocket. Returned the first pair because of this and now i will be returning the second.

after weeks of research i found these buds, I have medium sized ear, like the average guy. I Did a jog with these, first the sound is very good, bass is amazing!! BUT, the sound is as good as the fit is, meaning if the buds slip a bit and not 100% secure the sound quality goes 50% down. I tired all fits possible, took me good 2 hours to try and fit all sizes with a light jog. First, it is secure for good 2 minutes than the buds always slip out, it is even worse when you start sweating the buds just cant stay in properly in your ear, when sweating even when not jogging just working out at the gym, the buds are slipping out (not falling of course), as i mentioned than you lose the quality of sound by 50%. Im going to return them unfortunately.

These are perfect when you're on the out and about. The sound is great, full with good clarity. The bass doesn't give you the boom (which I love), but it gives a great deep powerful thud which is just fine. The unit is light, doesn't hinder any movement, and can be worn either under or over ear. Connectivity is excellent. The "wings" hold the buds in your ear without any discomfort.

I used to have the LG Tone+ 730s "bridle" type headphones, great sound, vibrate alert, able to pair 2 devices e.g. iPhone and iPad at once and 10 hours of music listening. Only problem is that it had terrible connectivity issues. The sound was choppy even when I had my iPhone right up at my chest!

I just got the BlueBuds this morning so haven't tested it for the full day. I hope the 8 hours of advertised battery use will last me the whole day. I won't be able to answer calls unless the ringer is on or the bud is in my ear, but I hear the call perfectly fine as well as the person on the receiving end.

I have been using these headphones from Jaybird for the past 5 weeks and I have to say that they are the best Bluetooth Headphones for people who work out and indeed sweat! They include several options for your to find your "perfect fit" in the box, and I recommend that you take your time doing so. I played around with these for about 3 work outs till I found the set up that suited me best.

That being said, the sound is incredible as compared to other bluetooth headsets! Jaybird has done a fantastic job on this version's bluetooth. The connection to your device is very strong and hardly misses!

While you can take a phone call on them, that is really not what they are suited for. They are meant to help you get away and "Zone Out" so you can enjoy your work out!

They are a little expensive at $169, but well worth it!

The BlueBuds X contain the clarity and fidelity that will surprise any audiophile. Eventhough it's through bluetooth, it blocks out the white noise and delivers quality and clear sound. Because of it's secure fit, you can jam the earbuds in for great and balanced bass. My ears are smaller than average and with the right rubber bud, it stays very comfortable in the ear. It chafes a bit when i run, so i would recommend putting some vasoline along the rubber areas so it doesn't cause more chafing. The Battery life is super. It'll last longer than a plane ride from LA to NY. So you got an earphone that's great for normal listening, working out, multitasking, and traveling. All wireless.

Probably was too jazzed up about the music quality I haven't fully tested the mic on it. I've made a few phone calls with it, but probably I haven't used that part enough to give my final verdict.

About me: I own UE Triple Driver Headphones which are my favorite for normal listening and have used Sony MDR-7506 for recordings. I'm particular in my music and my MP3s have to at least 256kbps. If it would make sense that I have the storage space, I would only listen to FLAC files.

I would like this to be at least 20 dollars cheaper, but still I don't regret any penny and compared to everything else I spend money on, this one actually makes sense. Actually........I would probably have paid more for these.
