Jaybird - RUN True Wireless In-Ear Headphones - Jet

I am a fairly serious runner and biker and have always been annoyed by the wires connecting my earphones to my iPhone so I decided to look into wireless earbuds. I considered the Apple AirPods but some friends who used them said that they can fall out if you sweat a lot during your workout, and frankly, I think they look a little weird. Fortunately, I found that Logitech has a great product called the Jaybird Run which provides a nice solution. The Jaybird Run earbuds are truly wireless and fit very securely in the ear. They are priced about the same as the AirPods but offer better features. Included in the box (see photo) are instructions, a wide variety of alternate tips and "fins" (which fit into the ear to secure the bud), a USB charging cable, a slim, moisture-resistant carrying case, a hard shell charging case and the earbuds. Jaybird also has a free app (of course!) that you download to your phone (either Android or iPhone versions) which gives you additional features. Everything looks extremely well made and the earbuds have a special coating to protect them from scratches and moisture. First step is to charge the ear buds in the clam shell charging case. Just attach the charging cable, plug it into your computer or a USB outlet and LED lights will tell you when they are fully charged. The case itself serves as a supplemental battery, holding two full additional fast charges even when disconnected from power. Pop the earbuds back into the case for 5 minutes and you have another hour of charge! Leave them in for half an hour and they are fully charged again. You can do that twice before the case itself needs recharging. Next, pair the earbuds with your phone via Bluetooth. An audio prompt guides you and the app gives full instructions, but my phone paired them quickly and without drama. Put the earbuds in your ears and the "fin" will secure it there. You can now start playing music immediately. The Jaybird Run will respond to various voice commands, allow you to interact with Siri, take calls, etc. You need to learn the various tap controls on the earbuds to activate some features but the app has full instructions. One quirk is connecting the app to the earbuds. You cannot be playing music while you connect to the app, but that issue resolved easily. The app gives you a nice equalizer feature, access to suggested Spotify playlists for working out and best of all - a "find my buds" tracking device in the unlikely event you lose one. Sound quality is superb, very clear, distortion-free with excellent midrange and highs. Even the bass is very good – perhaps not as deep as you could get from over-the-ear headphones but quite acceptable. The Jaybird Run earbuds are a bit heavier than unpowered earbuds but the very comfortable tip and securing fin will soon make you forget that they are even in your ear - except for the fact that you are surrounded by your music! Will they stay in? Yes!!! I took them for a long (three hour) run and never had a problem even as I worked up a good sweat in 80+ degree weather. But running is probably not the biggest test. Can you rely upon the fit while biking? The next day I went for an all-day ride over some rough roads and once again they performed perfectly. They never felt loose. I had to recharge them in the case after about 3.5 hours while I stopped for food but that was quick. The case is a bit bulky to keep in your pocket but for most workouts you can rely upon the 3-4 hour playing time from each charge and leave the case at home. The Bluetooth connection is very reliable. I have used the earbuds in my home and can walk 20 feet from my phone without a connection break. If you lose connection it quickly restores itself when you come back into range. Bottom line - the Jaybird Run earbuds are an excellent investment for anyone who is a serious music fan and wants a rock-solid reliable workout partner. You will not regret this purchase!!!

A true wireless in the ear headset, something the future of audio on the go should already have. The big dilemma is if it can really live up to its promises. I won't waste time with specs, im going to cut to the chase and help decide if this is the right fit or buy for you. First off lets talk about what your going to receive and how well everything works together. Out of the box your going to receive your two ear buds, charging pod (which also serves as a carrying case), micro usb cable, variety of different ear tips and ear fins. Paring is done quickly and easily. As soon as the earbuds are pulled out of the pod they will try to pair right away with your device given that your bluetooth is turned on. Lets talk about first audio impressions. Right off the bat i was very disappointed with sound quality and audio level. This is when i learned just how critical ear set up really is for this ear piece. The different ear tips are going to affect just how well the sound quality comes through. Too loose of a fitting and your sound quality is going to be drowned out by outside noise. Too tight and your going to have a very uncomfortable time while listening to your music. A nice feature was the fact that they also provided different size ear fins. The ear fins are what allow the earbuds to hook on to on your outer ear and prevent them from falling out during extreme exercise. If you find that your earbuds seem loose then most likely your ear fin set up is not right. Once i got my set up for my ears dialed in i noticed the sound quality improved greatly, however it was still lacking. The volume wasn't very high and my mids and lows sounded sub-par. I struggled to hear my vocals clearly and my bass was almost completely obsolete. Luckily like most decent audio manufactures out there Jaybird provides an app service for both android and iOS which i'm going to say is definitely a must. Linking the two together was very simple and once the download of the app was complete it took maybe a minute at most to link my earbuds. The app is where you can get the Jaybird Run to shine. Through the app you are able to set up different functions for your earbuds. Each earbud has a button which serves for a different use depending on how you set them up. For example, my volume was lacking so i chose to set up my ear buds so that the left earbud button would lower the volume and the right ear button would raise the volume. This by the way is the only way you can raise your ear bud volume aside for using your phones volume button. Now after you set your volume control you can then move your settings back to default. Under these controls your left earbud button if pressed once will bring up google assistant or siri and your right ear bud if pressed once will pause/ play your music and also pick up calls. You can also skip tracks by pressing the right earbud button twice. The Jaybird app also provides you with an equalizer with which you are able to customize your low,mid,and high range on five different points with a range of 20 Hz to 20 KHz. If your not very skilled in that area there is no need to worry. Jaybird provides you with eight pre set equalizer settings, and if those are not to your liking you can download many many more for free. Once i played with the equalizer and got my range dialed in my sound quality had improved to almost perfection. I could hear my vocals clearly all my mids and highs were perfect. Even my bass sounded great, i could almost feel the drums hitting. The sound quality was great and the fitting of the ear buds was perfect. When i took these to the gym the outside noises were just about completely gone and my earbuds never once felt like they were going to fall out. There is alot more the app can do but those were the key areas i wanted to touch on. Battery life is pretty decent, Jaybird claims four hours and i got about three and a half. One feature that i actually really liked was the way the headphones charge. The earphone pod serves as a case and charging dock. Simply plug in your micro usb cable to the pod and it will light up green and turn solid when it is finished charging the pod. When its time to to put away your earbuds in the pod the minute you close the case the earbuds will automatically power down and begin charging. So how do you know that you placed the earbuds in properly? Easy, when you close the pod a center LED light will light up letting you know the charge level of the pod and two separate lights will light up, one on the left side and one on the right side. If you did not placed your earbuds in properly when you go to close the case that LED light will not be lit up. For example lets say you placed the right ear bud in properly but not the left earbud. When you close the case the LED on the right side will be lit up and the LED on the left side will remain dark letting you know something is not right (refer to picture for example). Charging is done very quickly and a 50% charge can be brought back to 100 all with a matter of 15 minutes. So why the three star review then? There are alot of inconsistency with the sound quality and there was constant dropping or loss of signal from the right earbud. Let me talk about some of the faults. I noticed on the first day after i got the sound dialed in it sounded beautiful. My volume was very loud and my sound quality was so crisp and clean. The next day i put my earbuds in and i noticed something had changed. My volume wasn't as loud and the sound quality had diminished very slightly. The same track that was hitting the bass very hard was now struggling to push it through. I thought maybe my settings had reset but when i checked them everything was fine. I reset my earbuds, my bluetooth and even my equalizer and still the sound quality was the same. It wasn't horrible but i am very critical of my music and it was something i noticed. On the third day i noticed my sound quality had come back but now my volume wasn't even that loud. I had my phones volume turned all the way up plus my jaybird volume turned all the way up and i still felt i needed more volume. I'm not exactly sure if this is an issue with the firmware, drivers, or bluetooth but it was something i noticed. Also another key note to keep in mind is that the bluetooth is easily interrupted. When i game or do paperwork on my computer i like to listen to music while i work. In my office i have my wireless router, wireless printer and wireless keyboard. I hate wires and have never really had an issue with them interrupting each other. While working in my office and listening to music on my Jaybirds i noticed the left earbud would keep cutting out. It would cut out for about three seconds then come back on. It would do this about every minute or so and would not stop. I figured it must of been all my wireless adapters cause the minute i left the office it seemed to correct itself. This is kind of disappointing due to the fact that all my headphones are wireless and have never had this issue. Also another issue i have with these earbuds is having to worry about losing them. Well the app provides an option to find them if you lose them. Sounds good right? Well not exactly, see i thought that when you pressed the button to find your earbuds it would ping them with an audible sound to where all you would have to do is follow the sound till you find them. This is not the case however. When you hit your button to find them all it simply does is give you the last known location via google maps of when you used it last. So lets say you think you lost them at the gym, it will pin that location for you however its a vague location and you still have to check the parking lot, the whole gym, etc. Also lets say someone steals them and you think your gonna catch them the minute they turn on your ear pieces. Well your wrong because even if they do turn on your headphones it will not give you their location unless they activate their phones GPS, so all it will do is give you your last known location of when you used your headphones last if you had your GPS activated only. Heres my final thoughts. The Jaybird is a decent true wireless headset that should appease most average people. Yes the sound quality is decent and yes you can run, lift weights and cycle with them on and not worry about them falling out. For me however its right around that price range that has me on the fence about rather or not its a good buy. For me this just doesn't fit the bill, i would rather spend more money and have a solid set that can consistently give me the sound quality i want with few to almost no bluetooth drops. If your an avid music lover who loves working out and is very critical of their headsets like i am then this is not the buy for you. If your the type of person is wants something different and is looking for a decent sounding true wireless earbud then this should be right up your alley. Really this is going to come down to personal preference and just what exactly your looking for in a solid gym style workout piece. For me i'd rather stick with what i have and wait till they improve there product some more. Pros: -Lightning fast charge times -Charging pod that serves as a case also -Multiple ear tip and fins -User friendly app Cons: -Inconsistent sound quality -Bluetooth drop outs -Short battery life

I bought the Jaybird brand because my husband likes his. I opted for complete wireless and he just has the Bluetooth ones with the cord connecting the two buds. These are cool little buds, good for working out without the bulk and the wires. They come with a few different tips to swap out. I have small ears so it took me a few tries to get the right combination. Now that I found it, these are perfect for running and they even stayed in during my boxing workout! I haven’t used them on a phone call yet so I can’t say how well they work with the phone. Musically these do the job. I just wish they could go a little bit louder that’s why I only gave 4 stars. Comes with a charging case that charges and stores them.

This Jaybird brand of truly wireless earbuds are fairly well designed and have pretty good sound quality. Being able to listen to audio with earbuds that are totally wire free is really convenient, and adds an improvement to the overall audio listening experience. The charging container for these Jaybird earbuds is really nice, it is the shape of an oval and has a nice closing mechanism and opening button, and there is an easy to see LED that lights to indicate when the charging has started. The Jaybird earbuds fit easily into the charging position when the batteries are drained. The micro USB cable provided is a bit short with the cable being 12 inches long, a longer cable would have made charging easier, but the cable being shorter is easier to carry. The Jaybird app is ok, the app does have a less than optimal equalizer in my opinion, but it does allow the adjusting of the bass and treble, and the Jaybird app does allow the user to save their optimized equalizer settings to presets which can be named. The Jaybird Run earbuds are a bit limited in playback controls compared to some other earbuds on the market, as these Jaybird Run earbuds only have two buttons, one button on each earbud, this results in having to choose which functions the buttons will perform, this can be adjusted in the Jaybird app. The one press of the buttons can be assigned to play/pause or the one press can be assigned to volume control up/down. It is not possible to have these earbud buttons control the volume and play/pause at the same time, this is slightly limiting, but the volume can always be adjusted from the Jaybird app on a smart phone. Also, when a call is incoming, the single press will answer the calls, and when ready to hang up the call, a single press will end the phone call. On these Jaybird earbuds, the double pressing of both buttons is always set to the option of skipping to the next track, and for some reason, there isn’t a previous track option. Maybe in the future Jaybird could program the app and designate the double pressing of the right earbud so that it skips to the next track, and then double pressing the left earbud could be for the previous track functionality. The buttons are easy to press as far as it not taking much force to press the buttons, but the buttons are oval shaped, and the buttons have to be pressed on only one side of the oval shaped buttons, so it is kind of a hit and miss when pressing the buttons, if the buttons are not pressed at just the right spot, then the buttons will not click. Also, the buttons are located so that when the buttons are pressed, it pushes the earbud into the ear. Overall the placement of the buttons is not that great. When these Jaybird earbuds are in the ear, they also function quite well as earplugs, and when wearing these Jaybird earbuds, the outside noise is drastically reduced, this can be a good thing and a bad thing, it can allow the user to be less bothered by undesirable noises, such as a conversation of other people in the surrounding area, but noises that are more important to hear will be less noticeable, such as someone knocking on the door or a phone ringing. It would be a good idea to avoid wearing these Jaybird Run earbuds when driving a vehicle, as it would be too easy to miss hearing important road noises such as a honking horn. There are various types of earbuds referring to the way that the earbud fits in the ear, some earbuds have only the silicone tips in the ear canal and the control section of the earbuds slightly sticks away from the ear, another type of earbud has the silicone tips that fit inside the ear hole and also has the main body of the earbud which fits closer to the ear canal. This Jaybird earbud is the type that fits closer to the ear canal, this type of earbud is better for listening to audio while being physically active, as the earbuds fits more snug in the ear and the earbuds are less likely to fall out. This second type of earbud is however less comfortable and can feel slightly annoying in the ear after having been worn for several hours in a row. With that being said, most people do not wear earbuds for that long, and these Jaybird earbuds can be adjusted in the ear so that they are fairly comfortable. The way these Jaybird earbuds fit into the ear, results in less of a universal fit on various sizes of ears, this is because the main earbud section fits into the outer ear cavity in order to fit snugly in the ear, and if a person has smaller ears, these Jaybird earbuds will likely not fit very well. I would actually say that these Jaybird earbuds would really only fit medium to large ear sizes. This pair of Jaybird earbuds is of pretty good build quality and has good sound, and I am rating this Bluetooth audio device at 3.0 out of 5 stars.

As far as earbuds these are worth every penny. I was sold on these because I could use them as a bluetooth and "switch" once the battery on one goes. Well not, it doesn't work. The one on left doesn't work if the right one is not on. So it is useless once the battery on the right is gone. It only last for 5 hours. So for a workout is plenty of time, not for a working day. The case for them charges them very quickly and it's very tiny and can fit in a pocket. But still I'm used to having my bluetooth on my left side.

These are the best as far a comfort for working out. You hardly realize you've got them in your ears, and very light weight. I just wish you could pump the volume a little higher. But other than that, their awesome!

The Jaybird Run is a unique set of earbuds that seriously surprised me when using. I'm going to be speaking from my perspective of owning these. I used about 4 days straight running routes in the morning. I did hear that these earbuds had a lot of issues when connecting but I have literary experienced no technical issues such as disconnection. It could be a new and improved model Jaybird decided to ship out (?), but I have had NO issues with Bluetooth connectivity. Now that that is out of the way I want to talk about these awesome truly wireless earbuds. The design is nice and small. They are lightweight in the ear and holds inside the ear while running or jogging. these earbuds are very secure when placed so I'm not concerned about them falling out at all. I appreciated the way they are easy to put in a pocket and go. While yes it does feel a little "plasticky" that doesn't distract from the overall build of the earbuds, they seem like they are made to last. the earbuds itself are black and doesn't draw any attention too much aside from the jaybird logo which shines. Connecting them to a smartphone is as easy as you expect just connect and go, one of the coolest things with this earbuds is that they come with a charging case (AKA Apple earpod-like) and it works fine. Placing the earbuds into the case will charge up the headphones with the case small enough to throw into a pocket. its awesome in my opinion and want more OEMs to do this. They come with many ear tips to fit so you can find the correct size for yourself. Sound wise they sound incredible to say the lease, I was shocked at the amount of clarity and bass deep within the ear. mids and highs feel like they are good enough for an hour run but you can set it to your liking with the app. I really had no expectations with earbuds because I always found them lacking, but the Jaybird run changed that. You can download the app itself to make more bass/treble customizations to your jaybird's the app is smooth so good on Jaybird for this one. The wireless earbuds are sweatproof and water-resistant and in my test, they survived a light rain here in Chicago near the lakefront. Battery life is shocking good because it feels like they lasted longer than 4 hours. I was on a phone call (which also works well with) for about 5 hours on lower volumes. you can get 8 hours on the go with the charging case and 5 mins of charge give you 1 hour of playback so you can quickly charge before a run.There is also a button on each earbud so you can Pause, Play, Skip Track, and hold for voice assistant on Siri or Google Assistant. One of my dislikes is actually pressing the button on the ear as it pushes the earbuds deeper, I guess this can't be helped since mostly every true wireless earbuds have these issues. its just uncomfortable all around and the price you have to pay, My recommendation is to just use your phone or music player to change tracks. There isn't much to say about these earbuds, I love them. they sound premium with a good amount of bass all through it. Jaybird's work extremely well on the go. I saw some of the other reviews talk about disconnection issues but I had none on my 4 day run with these. I even test out the theory of the headphones being far away from the phone into another room but they didn't disconnect. So I'm not sure what is going on with others. I would still recommend these to people and especially to runners. It hits every checkbox you would want in truly wireless headphones while not being overly featured or overpriced. 4 out of 5 stars, I know Jaybird can make improvements to these in future models, but as of right now I love them.

I’ll start by admitting I have a bit of a headphone/earbud addiction. The house contains probably fifteen or more sets of personal listening devices, ranging from over-the-ear, audiophile phones to ten dollar discount store throw-aways. I am always in search of that next “fix”, hoping for something that makes me go “wow, that sounds really good!” Having the opportunity to receive the Jaybird RUN wireless earbuds in exchange for a review was very interesting to me considering their MSRP. Going in, I was completely unfamiliar with the Jaybird name, and only after examining the very fine print on the package I saw that they are a Logitech product. This gave me higher hopes based on my experiences with other Logi products. These hopes were somewhat dashed upon my first listen…not much volume, very bright, thin sounding, and lacking any sort of punch. Downloading the iOS App to my phone opened my eyes to all of the customization available and while I would still like a little more bass punch, I was able to make adjustments that made an exponential improvement to the out-of-the-box sound quality and a substantial output in volume. Anyone not utilizing the Jaybird App is really shortchanging their listening experience. Besides an equalizer feature where you can save a variety of different settings, being able to change the functions of the buttons on the ear buds is also a welcome feature as I am not one to utilize Siri very often. The buttons on the buds (one on each ear piece) have good tactile feedback, are easy to access and operate as they should. The only drawback I can see is that you have to choose between having volume control or pause/play capability, you can’t have both at the same time. I’m very impressed with the fit and comfort of the ear buds and they remain firmly in place during activities. While I’m not a runner, I was not able to dislodge the buds by tossing my head around. I found the fins and tips that came installed from the factory to be a perfect fit for my ears, and the other sizes of fins and tips that are included should provide an acceptable fit for almost anyone. The USB cord that connects to the case is only 10 inches long but shouldn’t be much of an issue since USB ports seem to be everywhere in the modern world. The way the buds turn on or off automatically when removed from or placed in the case is a nice feature as is the auto off. It is very easy to return the ear pieces to their case in the proper orientation for charging. The case seems to be very well made and well designed and it incorporates lights to show charging status. Some people might be a little put off by the price, but considering that the box states “Designed & Built For Runners, By Runners”, I think the quality and feature set of the Jaybird RUN somewhat justify the price point especially when compared to the price of quality running shoes that will most likely have a shorter life span than the Jaybird does. I think people that are looking for ear buds to use during their workout activity will not be disappointed, while audiophiles looking for their “holy grail” of portable sound quality should probably look elsewhere. I would like to give them a full five stars, but the lack of bass and a price that will exclude some potential customers leaves me giving a four star rating.
