Great running/biking headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgraded to these from the Jaybird Tarah Pro's to get the cord free design. I use them primarily for running and biking and they are on par with the Tarah Pro's with the exception of the battery life. When they are connected they work great. The sound is great, especially when you either find a preset or create the preset you are looking for. They stay in and I have not experienced any comfort issues with the longest wear being about 2 hours. I love the waterproof design and have worn them through several runs in the rain with no issue as long as you don't take them out and try to get them back in during as you break the seal created. The only thing keeping them from a 5 star is the same issues I had with the Tarah Pro's. I use them with a Garmin Forerunner 945 and I experience issues where they won't connect, connect but the sound is max volume and cannot be turned down, connect but the sound cannot be turned up or down, connect but only through one ear. I've gotten in the habit of turning off/on my watch and then connecting them before each run/bike ride. These issues don't happen every time but they do happen frequently. With that being said, when they do connect they work flawlessly with no cutouts.

Favorite earbuds ever
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own many headphones and earbuds and these are hands-down my favorite. I've returned many headphones (bose QC35 II, galaxy buds, sonys) because at full volume, they leave me feeling like they're just ehhh OK. Like the previous Jaybirds, out of the box they are on the "flat" preset. You MUST download the app to really make these things worth it. You can download sound presets that other Jaybird users have already created. Or you can create your own based on how you want it. Higher lows, lower highs, etc (see attached picture). These things stay in your ear and are the most waterproof earbuds out there. Battery life is solid. These things are geared towards runners amd hikers but I love these headphones to just straight up listen to music. They get super loud and they sound amazing. People are sleeping on Jaybirds...

Great earbuds, excellent weather resistance!!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this for about over 2 years. I used them for an average of 1hrs 30 minutes about 5 days a week. They are still going. I ran with this in 98 degrees heat all way down to 10 degrees cold. Some rainy days too. Battery last a while. I do use one side a the time. Lately there is been a few time where they don’t connect to my phone so all I do is turn them off and on and fixed

Finally, THE Perfect Fit!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start off by listing the earbuds I've tried prior to these, so you see when I say these fit perfectly, I mean it! My ears themselves are of average size, though my inner ear seems to be larger than what's considered large, earbuds wise. Over the past year, these are the other wireless earbuds I've tried: Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Bose Soundsport Free Beats PowerBeats Pro Master & Dynamic MW07 Go Master & Dynamic MW07 Plus Samsung Galaxy Buds Live The Buds+ fell out no matter what size tips, the Bose fit decently, but can't use just one at a time. The PowerBeats fit, though they sounded tinny and muffled to me. The Master & Dynamics sounded great, though they too would start to fall out after maybe 10 mins of moving around at work. The Buds Live actually fit well, though the mic was covered by my ear, so it kept making the volume fluctuate when I moved, thinking it was someone talking or something. The Vistas fit well, and they're locked into my ears. I can lean over, shake my head and they will not budge. While it's only been a few days since buying them, I wear them at work all day, so that's 8 hours of constant movement, to include walking, bending, leaning, and generally on my feet nonstop. The eargels themselves cover the entire bud, save for the back, where the button is on each one. It has contact with a good bit of your ear, plus with the hook, and the earbud part fits in snugly, so all of that lends to a great fit, without worry. Most earbuds generally have the same size speaker hole in the bud, though on the Vistas, the hole is much smaller, which gives more to contact your ear to keep it secure, without losing any sound quality, and also adds to the passive noise cancellation. They don't feel particularly heavy in ear, that I've noticed, though if you're accustomed to buds like the Samsung's, and other similar size, it'll be a noticeable difference. I will say that after a few hours, they can become a bit uncomfortable, though after my prior experiences, I welcome the discomfort because at least I know it isn't falling out! They sound really good, the sound is crisp, and depending on your EQ settings, has some serious bass, be it punchy or boomy, whatever your taste may be. You'll want to download the Jaybird app, speaking of EQ settings, as there are 8 presets, plus it can create a custom one for you. The app also has a Discover tab (shown in the pic below), where you have access to tons of custom EQs the community has created. You can preview the community EQs as you're listening to content, download and save them for free. For the personal custom EQ, it plays 6 different tones, representing low bass up to the highs, and you adjust the volume slider to where you just barely can hear the tone. The one it made for me has a lot of low end, with the mids and highs just below neutral, though sounds great. Current EQ I'm using is called "Audiophile 4k", from the community EQs. Having had the Master & Dynamic MW07s and Bose before, these actually hold up well against them soundwise, in my opinion, though of course those 2 are high end earbuds, with a bit wider soundstage. These Vistas at $150 are an amazing value for that kind of sound, compared to $300 earbuds. The device I've listened to them on is the Samsung Galaxy S20, for reference. Codec wise, it's only SBC, which I understand to some can be a deal breaker, though even with that, they sound better than some others I used that were AAC and aptX compatible. Has Bluetooth 5.0, which is handy for the extra range and better stability over some that are still using 4.2. Also note that there is no active noise cancelling on these, though the passive NC is really good as keeping the outside noise out. The case, with the front facing you, is about 3 inches wide and 1.5 inches in length, it's very compact, easily will fit in a pocket. It has a rubbery type feel, matte finish, which is great. They say battery life is about 6 hours per bud, which of course varies on volume and use. So far I've been getting close to that myself, with the volume at about 80% between the buds and my phone. Each bud has a button, which can be customized in the app to control play, pause, skip track, volume and such. At first I thought it was a touch button, since you don't actually see it, so felt silly when I realized the button you push is basically the whole outer edge of the bud, where the Jaybird logo is. It's a clean look that way though, with them being flush, so nothing sticking out. All in all, if you're like me, having had issues finding earbuds that wouldn't fall out, these are definitely worth a look. Almost makes me want to shed a tear of joy, finally finding the "unicorn" of earbuds to fit my ears. They sound terrific, fit well, look cool (especially the blue), have good battery life and they're well known for being durable (IPX7 rated).

I love them.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a pair of these in the Nimbus Gray color and also bought a pair of Beats Powerbeats Pros for my fiance. I later returned the Powerbeats Pros and got the blue pair of Jaybirds because my fiance liked my jaybirds better! Note: DO NOT buy these and return them without doing your own custom sound settings/profiles or the sound test. The default out-of-the-box flat sound setting is garbage and I almost thought that these were going to suck until I did my own. Worlds of difference once you complete the sound that is best to your hearing. Tons of bass if you want it or tons of treble if you want it. I see that some people say they are quiet but I don't have that problem. They get plenty loud to where it isn't healthy for your ears to have them that loud. They are clear sounding, stylish, comfortable, they stay charged for a good amount of time (USB-C for the win) and I don't regret my purchase one bit. My one possible little problem is that if you have never owned wireless headphones like these before the setup process kind of is annoying for pairing. Though this might have just been me. Once they are paired I have had no problems.

Great every day carry earbuds.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.All right straight out disclaimer: I'm too lazy to properly format this review so here goes I've had these for just about a month now and I have to say they are quite good. The earbuds have a comfortable secure fit and hold well in ear even when running, jumping, skateboarding, etc with little to no movement from the buds themselves though I do not recommended upside down activities as the ear fins cannot help in that orientation. The earbuds themselves are water and dust proof however the charging case is not so dont go tossing it into water....will not end well for you unless you have warranty. The earbuds are also extremely light weight and have on average 5 hours of battery life before you need to pop them back in the charging case. The case itself has about 10 hours (2 uses basically) before it's fresh out and you need to plug it into a wall. It uses a USB C(Thank the heavens) so if you have an newer android phone charger you should be fine if they do manage to die on you. The real beauty of these things though is the audio quality. By no means is it audiophile quality nor does it use an advanced audio codec (Only uses SBC) but it does have Bluetooth 5.0 which makes the connection super stable and reliable so no audio cutouts unless your in a really big crowd of people in VERY close proximity and your phone is in your back pocket or something. The audio is clear and concise with very little distortion and if you also download the jaybird app you can set up a custom personal EQ setting that is catered to your specific hearing range which improves listening quality tremendously. All in all they're pretty great and the little loop present on the case makes it super easy to latch it onto a backpack or your belt to keep them in a easy to get to and very hard to lose accessible place. What I'm trying to say in ramble speak is they're great if you're willing and able to spend the money for them without breaking your budget.

Great fit and sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced the Beats Pro with the Jaybird of which I’ve never had any luck with when it comes to fit and reliability. I am happy to say that so far (a little over a month) I have been pleasantly surprised by the fit and sound of these over the Beats Pro. The main issue I had with Beats was the sound when it came to music and everyday conversations. The fit was great and very comfortable even more so than the Jaybirds BUT sound was way too low probably due to its lack of proper seal. I loved being able to make calls without touching the ear piece and battery life was fantastic BUT the sound wasn’t quite there. And for $250 the sound has to be there first and foremost. For the money the Jaybird fits good and sounds great. Still not great with phone calls but i can accept that since music quality is great.

Ups and downs
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Okay so I just want people to feel the struggle a little. So I've been a fan of jaybirds since the x3s were hot stuff. So I bought the jaybird vistas as a no brainer I did run into a couple of problems with them but best buy was so great and had no problem helping me. The first pair I had gotten had this exposed looking wire thing on the left earbud I'll post a pic so you guys could see. I went to best buy explained to them that it was like that when I opened them and they exchanged them for me. So I come back home with my new pair its been 5 days and the right earbud stopped working thought it was not charged because I forgot to put it back in case. Charged it and it still didn't work... now I was upset swearing logitech off for good. Thought maybe I had to reconnect to bluetooth now that it made it worse and now it wasn't even showing up in my blue tooth settings. I did a soft reset and a factory reset and nothing I called jaybirds and the system kept giving me that horrible sound when the number is discounted. Went to best buy they told me to just get a different brand I kinda agreed with them but at the same time I've had jaybirds for 5 years now.. I couldn't do it I just exchanged them for a new pair of vistas and no problems with these. Love them and wouldn't change a thing.

Q: QuestionCan I swim with it?
Asked by raphaeiras.
- A:Answer I had all manner of sarcastic answers, but thought I'd tune it down. They are water resistant to the IPX7 standards for time and depth, and Jaybird calls them Earthproof. To them that means they are sweat and waterproof (with a few caveats). As to swimming with them in your ears; assuming you have a water tight seal, then the buds could produce functional sound, but if you have any water in your ear or the buds, the natural incompatibility between water and sound would come into play, and render them useless in water.

Q: QuestionI have small ears and have trouble with ear buds of any kind staying in my ear while working out. How well do these fit small ears?
Asked by WG.
- A:Answer I have smaller ears and they fit great. They have several different tips you can use for a better fit. When I've used them running they have never felt like they might fall out. So light you don't even notice you have them in. I love mine.

Q: QuestionNot only do I like to workout in my earbuds, but also use them for mowing. Are these loud enough to hear over the mower engine?
Asked by AARCH.
- A:Answer Definitely. I use mine to do yard work and tune out the unwanted noise of surrounding loud people... Just need to make sure you use the proper size wing tip
Answered by Section8ght
Q: QuestionCan these be used independently from one another? In other words, can the left earbud be used while the right earbud is being charged in the case? And vice versa?.
Asked by CarlosR.
- A:Answer Yes. If you take one out it will work independently of the other while it’s charging. Then if you pull the other out it will take a second for it to connect and then you can use them both at the same time again.
