Great all around
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Better sound quality (and flexibility with the equalizer) than Beats. Much more comfortable too. Seem to be better at sweat/resistance as well - I sweat a lot and my beats starting acting up after a couple months.

take it everywhere sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using these headphones for months now and they are holding up great. I stuff them in and out of the pouch they came with and they are still in perfect shape. The sound is good and varies somewhat with the choice of earpiece and the surrounding environment. I like the fit too and have several options depending on my level of activity to get a secure fit. The only time they won't stay in is if I have the charger attached... it's just too heavy to not tug on the earpiece if I need to move around at all. However, I can sit at my desk and use the headphones with the charger attached with no problem. I love these headphones because of how easy they are to use, how good the sound is, and how well they hold up to frequent use.

Outstanding! predicable performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Highlights that standout. Sound, Sound, connectivity, fit, lack of earbud presence, and sound. If I had to knick pick, the propriety connector/charger could get loss.

Great sound not practical for working out
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While they have deep clear sound the power pack is too big and heavy and flops when running or riding a bike. When you take the supplemental battery off it cuts your listening time in half (2hours) the connections are exposed to sweat therefore mine have started to corrode.

A nice concept, not very comfortable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using these earbuds for the last couple of weeks and will be returning them as their main negative doesn't outweigh all of their positives. I'll start off with what the earbuds have done right. First off, they are very lightweight and I'm surprised Jaybird was able to put as much circuitry in the in-line remote as they have. That's where the primary battery is along with the volume and playback controls along with the microphone. It really looks like any other cable with an in-line remote yet it houses more. The remote isn't heavy and I never felt it pulling on my ear. I mainly used the earbuds with the wire wrapped around the back of my head though that became problematic when I wore collared shirts. I with that Jaybird made the cable a bit longer so that it would go over a collar instead of being bulled down by it. I did have the earbuds pulled out of my ears a couple of times while wearing polo-styled shirts. The battery life of these were excellent especially given their size. I was able to get about 5 hours out of the main battery and an additional 4-5 hours when using the battery pack. The battery pack is a neat idea as I can clip it on the earbuds, thrown them in their pouch, and let them charge while they're being stored. You can also use the earbuds with the charging clip connected but I constantly felt it banging on the back of my neck while jogging (though it wasn't a big deal in everyday, office-type conditions). I like that Jaybird included both rubber ear tips (which never work with me, they always pop out and can never make a seal) and sports foam tips. I also purchased a pack of sports, comfort, and isolation tips from Complyfoam (they make the included sports ear tips). The companion app for these earbuds allows you to customize the earbuds' EQ and they even store the EQ as the default the next time you turn them on. You can even adjust the EQ in real time as music is playing. At first I wasn't really impressed with their audio quality but I was able to fine-tune things and get them just the way I liked. Now for the bad things. The included sport foam ear tips are rough and not comfortable. I tried the extended listening and noise isolation tips from comply foam and they were a lot more comfortable. Second, I couldn't get a good fit using the ear wings that Jaybird included. The small ones were way too small, the medium size was comfortable but it never held the earbuds in (the right earbud would still fall out), and the large would hold the earbuds in place but they were extremely uncomfortable as they were always pushing the earbuds down against my ear canal. I wanted to like these, I really did, but they were just too uncomfortable even after I purchased the extra ear tips (something I don't think I should of had to do). The other aspect I don't like is the functionality of the in-line remote. It seemed to take two button presses to do anything whether I was adjusting the volume or playing/pausing a song. The other weird thing, with my iPhone 6S Plus, is that the center button didn't function normally. Jaybird didn't follow the Apple standard and instead made the center button the play/pause button along with the recall button. Want to skip to the next track? Hold the volume up button down for 3 seconds. It seems weird and is backwards with how in-line remotes have been implemented for the last 10 years. I would often pause a song using the center button and then mistakenly hit the center button again to play the song (not closing the Music app or changing anything), and my iPhone would instead dial the last number I had called. Then the earbuds would be stuck in "call mode" so that music sounded like garbage. I then had to turn the earbuds off and back on in order for them to switch back to music mode. That meant that every time I wanted to play a song, I had to pull my phone out of my pocket and actually hit the play button. That happened with the built-in iOS Music app, Google Play Music, Pandora, and any other music playback app. What's the point of having a center button like that? It's counterintuitive and completely ruins the experience. The shoddy buttons, weird performance of the center button, and uncomfortable ear wings are making me return this product. I would have probably put up with the strange remote had the ear wings actually worked but they didn't. I also tried putting the earbuds in upside down over my ears but they never stayed in, I need the ear wings. This was a nice idea from Jaybird and the all around package is definitely worth considering but their implementation is flawed and the in-line remote needs to adhere to the same standards that in-line remotes have since 2007. I will be returning these, just as I did with my Powerbeats 2 wireless earbuds, and continue my search for the best Bluetooth earbuds that can actually fit my ears and fully work with my smartphone.

Good sound quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These headphones play good sound quality and has nice options. The only thing I don't like about them is that it has the external charging clip and if you don't have them attached to the headphones you can lose them easily. The charging clip is the only way to charge the headphones, so if you lose them you won't be able to charge them.

They're Okay
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They sound good and even better when you use the app to change sound profiles. The awful things are that the earbuds tend to come off easily and if you loose the charging pack, they become useless on e the remaining charge is gone.

Best Bluetooth headphones yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fact that you can customize the sound how you want is freaking amazing. They're also a lot smaller than the ones in the past by putting the the battery in the control switch. So far all pros and noooo cons.

2nd pair I've purchased
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this pair as a gift for someone who lives in a hands-free driving area. The sound quality is far better than in-dash car system. With the choices of ear bud configurations, the customizable fit is perfect.

Good overall
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice lightweight earbuds, though they do have a few issues. The ear fin and bud tip as they are individual pieces frequently fall off if you are not careful. When you switch the earbuds on. Don't have them in your ear because they are extremely loud. Loud voice says power on, battery whatever percent. And then connected to phone.it is very annoying, you can't lower the volume of this at all. Also you can separate the extended battery from the headphone, but it is very small and very easy to loose. If you lose it you have no way of recharging the headphones. On a positive 4 hours and an extra 4 hours charge when removable battery is connected. So you can get a whole day at the office listening to music. Headphones does switch off when you clip on the extended battery so you have to switch it back on again. The earbuds are very small and compact in your ear. You would forget that you are wearing them. Even hours later. So that's great. Compared to other wireless earbuds I've used these are great. Yes there are a few issues but also many positives. I'd recommend them to as anyone.
