Sound was very tingy sounding tried using the equalizer still couldn't get it to sound right

Earbuds leap to their death without warning and disappear off the face of the earth.

Battery life is very short. Not good quality battery

I apparently have hard to fit ears. These just didn’t stay in for me.

I like them and the work great, the ear buds are not as good as I expected for the price.

I bought a pair yesterday and right off the bat, I was impressed. I'm a previous owner of the Jaybird X2s (which I unfortunately lost), and I had waited months for these to come out. The sound quality is impeccable. The amount of bass that come out of these small buds are impressive given how small they are (metal casing btw). I also love the fact that they included Comply foam tips along with their standard silicone ones, definitely an added value. The only thing negative thing I would have to say is (besides the high price, needless to say), the wingtips do not fit/stay in my ears, no matter what size (s,m,l). However, it's not a deal breaker for me since they stay in my ears using the foam tips. Final verdict: Definitely worthy of a purchase if you can afford the high price.

I had to buy adapters and they don't fit well, they don't sound as well as the first week

Sound is not good , incompactable sound quality . I dont recommend this product.

They were uncomfortable and sounded like junk. I returned and got a different brand.

I bought this earphone for running. After 2 months, the contacts for charging became unreliable. You have to scratch them and push very hard to get the earphone charged. After 10 months, the Bluetooth connection is dead (I tried with several different phones). I guess it is officially junk for now.

Great engineering. But power doesn't last 2 hours.

Had trouble staying in my ear. It was a tinny sound. Returned after using 3 times

VeryDisappointed , for the price paid, it did not deliver

I had been looking for a wireless headset, and the Best Buy saleswoman recommended these for high quality sound at a great price. I bought 2 pair, one for me and one for my son as a birthday present. I tried all the ear buds, and none would stay in my ear. The sound quality was mediocre. Both the sets went back.

Got them on great sale. They wouldn’t stay paired to my phone for any amount of time. Sound quality was very poor given the price, that is when there wasn’t loud static or screeching through the headphones. I returned them the next day for another set and same issue. Back to the beats for me

Not comfortable at all. For the price I paid I was expecting more in quality

It is not good quality sound and it’s not worth buying

Never worked well for me. spotty reception and vocals.

I've been a Jaybird customer for a long time. I used my BlueBuds X until they died, so when I saw Jaybird had a new product, I jumped to try them out. The F5s are very lightweight, comfortable, and they sound excellent. I would recommend these to anyone. The companion MySound app for my smartphone is pretty cool, too. It really allows me to dial in my own EQ and it's much more accurate at telling me the remaining battery percentage than notification center on my iPhone. I use these exclusively for working out and cycling. As for cycling, I've put the F5s through their paces through 64 rides, which comprises 753 miles and over 53 hours of use. First, and foremost, these are far more comfortable than my Xs. The F5s don't stick out, so I don't have to worry about them as much when I put on my gear. Sounds silly, but with my Xs, I had much more fiddling with my skull cap, helmet, and sunglasses than I ever have had with my F5s. Now, I just put my buds in, throw everything else on my giant head, and go ride. They sound much better than the Xs, too. Battery life is pretty amazing for how small these are. I get a solid 5 hours out of them. When it's time to charge them (they'll literally say "Charge Me!"), you have about 20 minutes left, so that's not too bad, either. Bluetooth pairing is a snap, connection stays strong with almost no drop outs (seriously, Jaybird has really improved this aspect). What are my caveats? Well, the biggest frustration I've had was the unintended side effects of Jaybird moving the battery pack to a separate place on the cable. This will sound silly, but it definitely makes a negative impact on wearing them if I don't use the included clothes clip. The buds are so light that the battery pack (not including the charging clip) adds just enough weight, so that without the clothes clip, my cable will start to droop on the right side. This will cause my left bud's cable to shorten up, so if I move my head to look to my right, my left ear bud pops completely out of my ear. Even if the left doesn't pop out, it's very distracting to feel the cable shift on me as the battery pack drags the right side downward. I can't imagine using the buds while the charging clip is on. However, if I use the clothes clip to clip the cable to the back of my shirt/jersey collar, everything stays where it needs to be. Be careful with the clothes clip, though. It's very cheaply made. Mine broke right away and I had to find a replacement. Using the clothes clip is not cumbersome. I didn't feel it rubbing against my skin, but, your mileage may vary. The other issue I had was with buds placement. I have found that the best way to wear these is with the buds pointed downward so that the cable isn't looped over my ear lobes. They fit so much better and they stay in place far better. With my Xs, I always wore them with the cable management clips and the cables looped over my ears, so I thought the F5s would be no different. I was wrong. Again, the battery pack's weight made it very awkward to wear the buds looped over my ears. It was uncomfortable and they popped out all the time. Even worse, they way they sat in my ears in this position, they would pinch themselves against my ear canal in a way that the sound would cut out completely cut out. Keep in mind that the sound never cut out of the buds, though. The way they sat would pinch off the path into my ear, cutting off the sound. This was in no way painful, but it was extremely aggravating. The fact that the cable is round, oddly, made a difference, too. The cable on my Xs is a flat ribbon cable, the basic shape of them helped make them lay a certain way on my head. The round cable of the F5s made them more "flip floppy", which meant I fiddled with them more. Basically, wearing the buds in the over-ear configuration sucked big time. My last minor gripe is with the volume buttons. It takes 14 presses to get from min volume to max volume. This sounds like I'm being super petty, but when you're on a bike and moving from the quiet bike trail into busy traffic, having to "doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doot doot" to reduce the volume is very annoying. My Xs seems to change volume in larger chunks, so only a few presses were required to adjust quickly. This being said, a quick software update to add this option is all that's needed and I've brought this up with Jaybird. Hopefully, they consider it. Lastly, some suggestions: use the ear fins. They really help keep the buds in place. When you wear the buds without the fins, they feel like they would stay in place just fine, but I've found that when I start sweating, I need a little extra to help keep them in place. The fins do tend to pop out of my ears more than the fins on my Xs, but the trade off is that overall, the F5s stay in my ears far better than my Xs ever did. I used the comply foam tips, but quickly stopped after some especially sweaty rides. They don't dry out too quickly and well, you get the idea. Trust me, it's gross. I have found that the right bud tends to loosen up more than I'd like when I'm lying on my back, which is distracting during bench or abdominal work. All in all, these buds are FANTASTIC. Really, once you get used to the quirks, they're easy to overcome and I don't notice these buds are in my ears. They sound awesome. After I'd gotten things dialed in, the buds stay in during the sweatiest workouts. The battery life is fantastic and they're very comfortable. Highly recommended.

I like how the product is made but they don't stay in my ear.
