Great Jaybird Earbud For 50 Dollars
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These Jaybird Earbud is quite amazing for 50 bucks because they are nice and loud to minimum distortion. Great sound quality, great fit for my ears, alright battery life without the charging cradle, awesome for the price coming in at only 50 dollars. Highly recommended for the price! Always wanted jaybird Earbud but I can't Fathom to pay over 100 dollars on earbuds, but for 50 bucks, they are what I been looking for. Give it a shot!

Not Bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was disappointed that the Special Addition did not come with the 6 pair of earbuds and 4 pair of wings like the regular version. It was only $50 but would've been nice to have the options. Sound is great, but can't seem to get them to seal correctly in my ears. Also a little heavy on the right side due to the controls. Also learned that they only last 4 hours unless the charger is attached than you can probably get 8 hours. Nice app feature to allow costumizing the equalizer. Really like this feature.

So Far So good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The app for these head phones is super useful and allows you to adjust the sound profile. They sound very clear but i think they might be lacking bass. They also don't stay in that well without the ear hooks. That is not a big deal except it take a little bit of doing to get them in your ears and the can get a little uncomfortable after awhile. Other than that these were a great deal for 50$ on black Friday. I would not pay 150$ for them.

Super lite earbuds
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought two sets of the special edition version of these on Black Friday. Great value but missing the soft foam tips, which you can buy at a super online retailer for cheap. The only thing missing was the bass on these. The app is great. You can change the sound dramatically but still very low bass production. I couldn’t get a good fit after taking time to try all the fittings. They would either go to far in or fall out. I ended up swapping for the X3’s. I have to say, best decision ever. The battery on these is decent. And the little recharging pod is convenient. My significant other really enjoys hers. She hasn’t had a problem with them. Like the title says. They surprisely lite.. but if you want bass, give the X3’s a try. Almost bought the Jaybird runs but they’re so big and bulky, and with the reviews about them cutting out. The Jaybird app is great. Has a find my buds feature, a ton of presets that can change the sound, and workout playlists for spotifi. Hope this helps.

Good sound, good for running, nice app.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has good sound. I was looking for wireless headphones and was about to buy the Bose, but after trying them for one more time in the store, I decided for the price they were nothing special. I bought the Jay's based on a friend's recommendation the $49 sale. They're just as good. They stay put while running. The app is useful.

Good, not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since sale price was only $50, it was worth the purchase. Sound is great. Fit in ear is good, except small rubber inserts fall off easily...I lost two of them within the first 2 days. They supply 2 extra, so now I have to be extra careful. A little tricky to get the ear buds to stay in the ear, takes some practice.

I bought two...no better recommendation.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes, like others complain, they don't always stay firmly in my ears when I run if I let the control hang from my ear. You have to use the little clips and run the cords behind your ears. If they start to crackle or hum, they just probably need to be reset by turning them off or doing a factory reset (read the instructions) like I had to do on mine. If they're not pairing make sure when you turn them on, you press the on button for a full four seconds and they will search for your device. (Again, read the instructions). You need to use the (((App))) with these head phones or your not hearing all the volume or all the highs and lows!!! Take your time and experiment with the app to get the best sound. I like boosted up highs and lows and only up a little on the mids. I like the silicone ear tips since they seem to seal better in my ears and I can really feel the bass. Yes, the little clip on battery charger is a pain and I've been lucky not to have lost it yet. But because the headphones sound so good I will forgive that and try to keep track of it. I think there the best headphones I've ever owned, wired or Bluetooth.

Great headphones for an excellent price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They fit perfect, price was only $49.99 (Black Friday) special. Definitely worth it and comparable to BOSE and BEATS sound quality, although, always go into the BEST BUY stores and try them for yourself, headphones now a days fit differently so always go into the store before you purchase online.

Bluetooth connected very easily.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These wireless in-ear headphones replaced an excellent plantonics set (wires became exposed). Sound is fine. Connection was great. The wings take a little getting used to. The charge seems to go quick. The little rubber inserts come loose much too easily. I know I’m going to lose them!!

Great sound for size, comfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got a great deal, which persuaded me to pull the trigger on getting this. It wasn't until after I got the box I realized that the "Special Edition" merely means "less accessories." The non-special versions have more ear tip options. Fortunately, the ones that were included worked for me. Based on sound and comfort alone, these would get 5 stars. I'm shocked to get so much bass from these svelte ear pieces. The battery is clearly in the control module instead of the buds as the other models from Jaybird. That makes the control module a bit bulkier and heavier, but not enough to be a distraction for the way I wear these. They will pull to the right if you use the wire-down and behind the neck fit. They include a clip to hold the wire to the back middle of your shirt. I thought that was an odd thing to include in the box until I wore them and then understood the need. If you wear them in the over-ear method and adjust the wire length with the adapters they fit snug, don't move around and the added weight in the controls is less noticeable. The small ear buds allow for helmets, earmuffs or whatever. I like to listen to music when i sleep sometimes but I'm married and my spouse don't care for that. If I wear these with the under-ear fit and hanging down in front instead of around the back of my head I hardly know they are there. I can sleep on my side even and there's not issue. There are no other bluetooth headphones I've tried that can do that. The biggest issue I have is the battery life. I use my headphones a lot and 4 hours just isn't great. The portable battery does the trick when needed, but adds a lot of heft. Also, another thing to carry around. It's nice that if you only need 4 hours at a time, you can leave the battery plugged in and use it like a dock, but then grab it for on the go just in case. Still, I'd rather get 6-8 on the headphones without another accessory to carry around. The app with the custom sound profiles is pretty nice. I thought it was gimicky until I tried it and heard the difference. You can use the presets, make your own or get ones made by others in the community. It's pretty cool. Also, the app can switch the left and right ear for those using the over-ear fit (the older models didn't have that option). I wish the app would allow you to lower the notification sounds or change the power on/off sound effects. I use multi-point (meaning I'm connected to a tablet and smart phone at the same time) quite a bit, so this feature was a must-have. It works great. I haven't tried the unique feature of pairing one of these to another headphone of the same model so both people can listen to the same device at once. I don't have much use for that, but could see that being handy on the plane or a road trip.

Amazing for all type of Athletics
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best wireless headphones for my helmet. The ear buds don’t move when I put them in and the sound is loud enough to drowned out the wind and motor noice. Great for on and off track. The app is cool to dial in the sound how I like it. Price point is good. The charging adapter could be integrated or permanently added to opposite side of the power volume buttons to balance it out. It pulls to one side slightly when the whole until is plugged in BUT over all the best experience I have had with wireless headphones. Perfect for training in the gym or outside. Very happy with my purchase..!!

Worth Every Penny
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had my doubts at first purchasing these earbuds, being an audiophile with much experience and since preference with over-the-ear headphones; I'll add to that the fact I generally only buy pro audio line gear directly from wholesalers using my perks as a live audio engineer. However, after reading many reviews for these earbuds and given they were on sale, I decided to take the risk at only $50. What I can say after receiving them and using them as my daily driver now for around 2 months, several hours a day, is that I would've paid full price and here's why: Out of the box, you receive many accessories those pertinent to my review are a shirt clip, 2 cable management 'buttons' with 3 lanes that are helpful when you want less cable dangling from your ears which is minimal already, I believe 3 pairs of varying size (small, medium, and large) earbud wings (the molded pieces that cup around your inner lobe to provide a more secure fit) , 3 pairs of varying size earbud gels,a small leather-esque carrying case with a snap opening, a small USB to micro USB for charging the external battery, and a physical external battery- the clarification here is that the earbuds themselves have an internal battery with around a solid 4 hours and some more of full volume listening time and there is no other way to charge this battery other than to attach the external battery which holds an 'extra' 4 hours of charge via magnetic and clip contact bringing us to an 8 hour total of charge time. What I do is charge the external battery while it is connected to my earbuds so the charge prioritizes the internal battery then goes on to charge the external, as I've come to find. Comfortability is great! The gels and wings they provide vary in size quite a bit, so it's easy to find 'your' fit; I found a combination of gels and wing sizes that make perfect contact and provide a fit secure enough to jog with or just sit and listen to for many hours. The weight is decently light even with the external battery connected to the buds, however comparably heavier than some other Bluetooth buds; I haven't been bothered by the stretch of cable that dangles from my ears or the control panel, I tried using the cable management buttons but found myself uninterested in a tighter fit, most of the time I just use the shirt clip to secure a part of the cable to my collar and hide the rest underneath my shirt, which is hardly any. Durability and reliability are great thus far, given it's only been 2 months so I might edit this review if anything changes, but if not, know my conclusion stands. The build is solid, the metal on the buds themselves is strong and the bit of cable is well insulated but still flexible enough to wrap up to fit snugly in your carrying case. I haven't had the issue addressed by another reviewer here pertaining to sweat seeping into the contact points of the control panel and I've sweat a few times wearing the headphones. I've had 0 issues with Bluetooth connection using an android phone and even a cheap adapter for my computer every now and then. Pairing is almost instant the few times I've had to pair them and the earbuds go from being off to being turned on and connected to the nearest paired source very quickly, almost instantly and I have not experienced drop out nonetheless total loss of connection once for reasons beyond hardware limitations, the only being a max range of which I've found is around 60 feet with minimal obstructions, realistically in a house environment, through walls, it may get dicey around 30 feet. Sound Quality* Now, on to my favorite attribute of these earbuds, which came to my delightful surprise is their lovely sound quality. When first using these buds I was not expecting to be replacing them as my daily driver over my ATH-M50x 's. However, after hours of listening over a few days, the soundstage of the Jaybird Freedom F5 's quickly grew on me and they decisively became my carry for everyday use. It has a very crisp mid range which I really love when it comes to percussive sounds or a crunchy guitar, the bass is phenomenal and clean (with a flush fit of course) and very prominent but not so much that it overtakes any frequencies. The high range of these buds is extremely clear, which makes vocals and even simple spatial nuisances such as the impact of a track's mastering pop-out. They have very good noise cancellation, even in noisy environments such as being backstage at a rock concert, they blot out a very good chunk of sound and are still amply loud enough to listen to thanks to low resistance. On a side-note, I've loved listening to everything from country to metal on these earbuds, however I find they shine for me with electronic and rock music. Finally, these earbuds sport a 20Hz-20kHz frequency range, which ,on paper, isn't the most spectacular BUT here's the thing, it's a range that's filled precisely and executed just about masterfully, which makes these some of the best sounding earbuds I have heard to date. On to the subject of price. Now, these buds are of course no 'professional in ear monitors'; the way their soundstage compares to high-end, over $500, or even $200, NON-Bluetooth in-ear headphones, while surprisingly worthy, is irrelevant, because at their original price of $150 these earbuds are contenders for the top-notch spot in sound quality, utility and design compared to other similarly priced 'in-ears' in my book.. and they're Bluetooth... so on sale at $50 these are an ABSOLUTE steal. Drawbacks.. If I had to say anything bad about these earbuds that wasn't nit-picky, it would be that their in-line microphone is not the best in sound quality for hands-free calling and is kind of an after-thought. I've had friends complain that my voice was unclear to the point where I've held the mic up to about 4 inches away from my face to talk with clarity, deducing that the microphone on these earbuds is a bit more directional than "dedicated" hands-free calling headsets (single bud sets). However, if you are buying these earbuds, like myself, with music listening as your main thought, then you can afford to squander the minor inferiority of their mic in favor of their beautiful soundstage and design. In conclusion, the Jaybird Freedom F5 's offer a wonderful Bluetooth, audiophile experience, with a gorgeously crafted soundstage, an adequate pocket of accessories with gels included that allow for a comfortable and secure fit well enough for sports no matter your ear size for hours on end. The clarity and crunch of these earbuds is impeccable and will not leave the bass-heads nor the salient vocal connoisseurs unsatisfied. For the value, the Freedom F5 's are absolutely wonderful for $150 and if you catch them on sale for $50 are unbeatable. If you're still debating on buying these earbuds for whatever reason, stop and make the purchase, especially if they're on sale, and if you're an audio-head like me, you won't regret it and I'm positive you'll find something to love about them. *Note I haven't even touched nor downloaded the MySound app and I had even forgotten about it completely before I relearned of it's existence in previewing this review so everything said on the subject of sound quality is of an out-of-the-box experience with no adjustments whatsoever to the Jaybird's stock sound. I don't write many reviews but I love these earbuds so much I felt I needed to share my experience. Thanks for reading if you got this far and hopefully my review can help some of you considering purchasing these lovely earbuds come to a decision.

Better sound than Beats
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these to replace the Beats ear phones that I had (Original Beats Solo). They have a far superior sound to them, fit is great but im still toying with the sizes. I would recommend this! I bought a set for my son since they were 49.99 for black friday!

Great headphones for the gym
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The headphones are great!! Good sound quality and fits in my ear perfectly. The only bad thing about it is the battery life on it. When I was using the headphones it was 80% full. After 3 hours at the gym it was at 20% . Other than that it'll they are great!

Kind of overhyped? Good for gym, not commuting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought these headphones as they were on sale. And I would have had to pay 150 otherwise. However I don't find them to be loud and I the battery goes fast. But it does have a cool charging pack. They're ok but are best for the gym. Not commuting

Bang for Buck
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked up these Jaybird Freedom earbuds while initially looking for another item at the store. It was displayed in the main aisle for $50 and a huge sign that said savings of $100! lol I used to have the LG Tone Platinum, which were pretty decent minus the hefty $200 price tag. These Jaybird earbuds work great, that is once you get the thing to actually stay put in/on your ear. I don't like that the control on the right end is sort of heavy. The Jaybird app to customize/control the EQ is quite amazing! You can truly customize to the T of the EQ of your preference. And the sound is good as well. I'd say it was worth the $50, and I'd recommend at that price point but IDK about paying the actual price at $150. I'd probably pay that price or higher if it was more comfortable on the ear and the remote wasn't so heavy tugging on the cord.

Really good!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Five stars for the price ($49.99 on sale)! Sound is great, and Jaybird app has an EQ to adapt sound profile to your preferences. Pretty comfortable with Comply foam eartips (Special Edition only includes silicone tips). Charging clip is annoying when attached while wearing the phones, but is quick/easy way to recharge. All these would be legit complaints if I paid $200 for these. The Freedom F5 are better than any bt headphones around $100 I have tried, so for half that price they are outstanding!

Good product, a little overly priced
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product is nice and has very clear sound. The battery life is less than what is mentioned. It does not goes for 4 hours. Rather the battery within 3 hours. Good sound bass; the overall volume is not too high

Pricey but worth it.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had Jaybird products since their first version of wireless headsets. With each product release, I have seen two big changes: 1. Headset has become smaller 2. Sound quality has improved drastically. These by far are their best version yet. Tiny and comfortable but a huge sound. I run marathons and train with these and have never had an issue with them fitting improperly or falling off. Great headset. I strongly recommend them.
