Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: - Comfort is tied with my other #1 priority: sound quality--these excel in that area (as Jaybird is typically renowned to be)! In short, these are truly outstanding whether for workouts or not--capable of full-bodied, detailed, un-muddied musical reproduction with extensive sound signature customization options that go even further in the companion Jaybird app (if you want it) - I'm a believer--the fabric-wrapped cord really IS much more comfortable against the skin than the plastic/rubber/silicone wrapped wires I'm used to - Not quite true wireless, but so light it's easy to forget the connecting cable and even the control module are dangling between the earpieces - I have no way to verify Jaybird's 14 straight hours of battery life; but after leaving them on all night with my phone happily streaming away on a charging mat, they were still well above 40% charged the next morning - Integrated gel ear-tip/wings created a secure and very comfortable fit that nearly matched those of the Comply, foam-style tips I've used before (like on Jaybird's own X2) - Speed cinch disc does a good job of keeping the excess cord from really intruding on a run - Simple, hassle-free Bluetooth connection with a voice prompt that sounded about the most lifelike of any I've ever heard in a headphone - Take them out of your ears and let the magnetic backs of the earpieces connect to automatically pause your music--nice! Plus now they're connected around your neck and less likely to fall off if you need to move around or talk to others unimpeded - "Twist-fit" is a simple tweak but it takes the guess-work out of ear-fin placement for below or around-the-ear fit--just rotate the ear-fin until it stops and put it back in your ear in the new position - If you want to truly personalize the sound profile of your buds, the Jaybird app steps you through a 2-minute "hearing test" that adjusts frequency response (cuts and boosts) to your unique physiology...YMMV; I didn't really care for the results myself, but others might really dig the effect Cons: - Okay I get it--magnets are cool--but a proprietary and laughably short magnetic charging cable/dock is my #1 bone of contention with the Tarah Pro...when you finally DO burn through that mammoth 14 hour battery capacity, you better have the dock handy or you're COMPLETELY out of luck because NOTHING ELSE will charge these! - Okay, I get it--magnets are cool--but you can't just let the earpieces fall down around your neck and expect them to connect to each other. The magnetic backs are on the opposite sides of the eartips that are already facing inward--twisting the earpieces around so the backs touch ends up leaving a slightly uncomfortable, inward-curved control puck against your neck, and generally feeling/looking kind of awkward because the rest of the cable (especially anything beyond the cinch) remains in place...see the attached photo - The Tarah can maintain 2 Bluetooth connections simultaneously but the Tarah Pro cannot??? I don't need dual-connectivity that often, but it would be nice to use these with my laptop while still having the option to answer a phone call - The included coin-purse style carrying pouch is a nice touch but feels a bit 'meh' for a premium product, and is just a tad too small for my tastes--try to shove that maddeningly proprietary charging pigtail/dock in there along with the headphones and it was sometimes resistant to closing--the semi-rigid carrying case from the X2 was more protective and more spacious - Marketing materials touted the reflective threads in the fabric cord covering the cable; trust me, we found the effect WAY too subtle to be considered a "safety feature" so make sure you've got something else retro-reflective on if you run at night - The Jaybird app actually has some deep customization options for sound profiles, but the "Music" tab and its associated playlists will only work with Spotify to play ANYTHING from within the app itself - It could just be me, but I miss the cable clips from the older Jaybird model to get that totally streamlined, "completely-up-against-the-head" fit with the cord--the cable cinch ends up leaving a rat's-tail dangling back there that, while light and certainly not sticky due to the fabric covering, is still noticeable nonetheless - The flanged design of the Twist-Fit ear-fin/ear-tip is more secure than a typical silicone ear-tip for IEMs, but it's just not QUITE as secure or QUITE as comfortable as using Comply-style foam tips, especially after a sweaty workout - Even in the app, there is no option to use the built-in mic for hear-through; as moderately sound-isolating earbuds, you will simply need to be more wary of your surroundings Summary review: I came to Jaybird's latest premium offering after many happy years with a pair of their own X2s--themselves chosen at the time from a fairly crowded field for their well-regarded sound and build quality. In nearly every respect, I consider these a very, VERY worthy upgrade. Sound quality is exceptional as is in-ear comfort and the Twist-Fit gimmick is actually kind of handy for allowing me to easily adjust the ear-fins to accommodate an under- or over-the-ear fit depending on my mood. The extensive, and even kind of fun, customization options in the Jaybird app let me fine-tune the sound profile (and save as many different versions as I'd like) to match my mood or source material--but the nice part is that the Pros till sound great in their "flat" or non-enhanced state. The companion app also nails it by having a full user's/features guide and troubleshooting section right in the app so I don't have to log into some support website for those few times I need a memory jog on button taps, presses, or pairing difficulties. I can't speak to some of the things you'll need to take on faith--IPX7; okay, at the very least, I have some measure of assurance that I won't sweat these buds to death. 14 hour battery life--well, I can barely stay awake that long in a single day, much less listen to music in one sitting--so the likelihood that these will retain enough juice to last through a week's worth of workouts before I remember to throw them on the charger is probably pretty high. The magnetic backs (and music auto-pause upon "magnetizing") are a nice touch, I suppose. But in execution, they require a bit more effort to get resting on your neck just right than maybe they need to, especially with those curved controls--a more svelte but straight control box would have make this design choice/feature feel a little less awkward in practice. In the end, these seem to be well-crafted, exceptionally fine-sounding earbuds/IEMs that would be just as home in your ears as daily listeners as they would be during a workout. The omission of foam ear-tips in favor of the all-in-one silicone ear-fin/ear-tips is understandable, I guess, to provide for that Twist-Fit feature--which actually has its uses--so it's a somewhat forgivable compromise. Were it not for that dodgy, ULTRA-SHORT, magnetic and 100% proprietary charging cradle--which I'll admit looks cool and is super-easy to use--this would be an almost perfect, end-game set of workout phones. If you're familiar with Jaybird's ear-fin style and don't find the fit/feel objectionable (and there are those who do), I definitely think you'll like what the Tarah Pros have to offer.

the Jaybird taravpro are a great pair of headphones for an active life style. They fit snuggle in your year and stay in place. Very comfortable even after long hours of use.. I love the non rubber cord because it doesn't stick to your skin when sweating or if you get wet. Sound quality is very good and clear, plus with the app you can customize the sound to all kinds of music. The draw backs are the charging base is the only way to charge them and it is small so don't loose it. I which they would have made them with a micro connection. And most important is that don't update the headphones once you download the app. Not sure why but the update seems to cause problems and the headphones become useless. Won't turn on, or connect, or charge. But over all a great pair of headphones so far. I have had them for over two months with a active almost everyday use.

I had these for almost a month and so far so good. They’re comfortable, easy to pair with my devices, the sound is very nice, battery life superb. This is not my first pair of Jaybird’s so I kind of knew what I was getting my self into, I have the X, X3 I still working and in use, and now the Tarah Pro. I also had the freedom but those died after just a month so I exchanged them for the X3. That’s the only bad one I had had from the brand but it scared me enough to still hold on to my receipt in case these die on me before the month or a little after. But so far I haohad any problems, no dropped connection no having to pair to devices over and over again. They have great sound when programming with the app, moves sound awesome. There’s just a couple of things that bother me a little but now enough to not recommend them because it’s not the headphones it’s me the problem. 1.- I have small ears and these are almost the size of my fingertips and round so after an hour of wearing them they star to hurt a little. 2.- Because the tips seal so good the volume it’s a little too loud for me, with theX3 I could lower to minimum and it was nice but with these the lower volume setting is still too loud (for me). So what I did is wear the smaller tip so I don’t get a complete seal. I know this sounds crazy because everyone wants a complete seal to make the sound laughter or deeper but not me I don’t like high volumes directly in my ear canal plus when am running I like to be aware of my surroundings. But if your are looking for great deep sounds, good battery life, ease to use and secure fitting then try these out. And if you find them on sale like I did even better.

The jaybird tarah pros exceeded my expectations in every way. First, and most importantly, fit. Jaybird has perfected these things staying in your ears. None of the numerous others stayed in my ears without falling out or constantly needing to be adjusted. This includes while working out, heavily chewing gum and being upside down. They sound great for the size, especially when you customize them with the EQ. Battery life is great. I get 10-13 hours on a full charge. Connectivity is flawless. And they are durable. If your phone has Bluetooth 5.0, buy these over any others! They are pretty waterproof too. None of the others are this waterproof. A durable nylon cable makes them tough. Absolutely a great purchase. My one con against these is the proprietary charger. Other than that. A great purchase!!!

Great sound, great bass, outstanding battery, sweet app for the equilizer, VERY comfortable, didnt have to swap fittings and easy connection to iOS. LOVE the carrying case! Charger is interesting. Here we go, intermittent connection on mojave, NEED to use “jaybird media player on Windows 10” vs pair and connect. OS compatibility is the achilles heel and my pet peeve in this case. (I dug deep and found a forum that was updated a few days ago.)

I've owned quite a few of the Jaybird ear buds (BlueBud X, X3, X4), I've found sound to be great in all of them. No, you won't get the fullness or depth of sound you get with over-ear headphones - but that's now what these are for. I use them when I run or work out, and for that purpose they are great. I replaced the BlueBuds because after a few years the batteries just would barely last through one workout. Never had any complaints with them. I replaced them with X3's and found the durability lacking. Over the course of 18 months, I had multiple warranty replacements, averaging about one every 3 months. Most common reason was that one side would start making popping sounds then the battery just wouldn't charge or turn on. Enter the X4 - they lasted about 4-5 months, traditional Jaybird sound but they started crackling too. Bought the X4's with the BB protection plan, glad I did. I returned them and upgraded to the Tarah Pro and so far I'm finding them worth the extra $$$. Pros: -The cord is not of the flat rubbery type, it's a braided cord that is a bit thicker and therefore stiffer, but not uncomfortable at all and maybe more durable. -The buds themselves stick to each other magnetically which helps keep them untangled. -They turn off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity - one of the best features IMHO -Battery life! I have not run them completely down so don't know if they would really get 14 hours, but I work out or run 5-6 days a week and have gone 10 days without charging them. -Have not had them start to fall out or loosen while running, thanks to the new shape -The charger - definitely an improvement over the previous style. Easily snaps into place, properly aligned without fussing to get it snapped in "just so". Also you get a longer "quick charge" than previous models, handy when you realize you forgot to put them on the charger overnight just minutes before heading out the door. ;-) Cons: -So that new shape - maybe a mixed blessing. I find it a little difficult to insert. They fit well once in place, but the one piece design of the bud/wing caused me to have to try several times to get them where they need to be. Seems like it's getting easier - it's just a change so we'll see over time. -Not a fan of the speed-cinch. The BlueBuds and X3's used a great clip to shorten the wire when in the over-ear configuration. With the X4 and Tarah Pro they ditched the clip and use a little rubber slide that leaves you with a rat-tail. At least the braided cord of the Tarah Pro seems to keep it from sliding like it did with the smooth and flat X4 Overall it's only been a month, but I find these to be superior in almost every way to previous models. Don't know how they will hold up over the long haul, but these first few weeks have me cautiously optimistic.

Great product, but just had a learning curve for me. I couldn't get these to stay in my ears during my first run. First tried the under ear method, then over ear. Also tried different sizes of earbuds, but no luck. After my run, I found that the "over ear" fit required me to rotate the earpiece itself, and once I did that, the fit was perfect. I also used the app to customize the sound, and these Tarah Pros are now pretty awesome. Really comfortable, and a really smart design to make these with a braided cord. No sticking of the typical rubber cord on my neck, or snagging of the cord on my shirt. They also went on sale, and the price guarantee saved me another $30, so this was a really good value for the quality. If you prefer your workout headphones to have the wire connection, these might be the best you can buy.

Isaí to expensive and it only last me like a month

I'm coming from the Jaybird X3 and the best upgrade the Tarah Pros has is the longer battery life. I can get a good 7-8 hours on a full charge listening to them nonstop. I could only get about 4.5 hours on the X3. Other great things: -Fast charging -Magnetic buds for easy, tangle free storage -Great sound customization through the Jaybird app -Good customer service. -Good fit and sound isolation Cons: -High price The silicone on the remote started to bubble and peel after 3 months, leaving the power/stop/play, and the volume up exposed to moisture. I was able to get replacements through Jaybird's customer service and was able to keep the old ones.

Bought with GeekSquad Protection. As far as fit and sound goes they are about as good as the previous X3's I had. Battery life at first wasn't great but then i read around on a forum that it must be charged to full then decharged completely and repeat 3 times. So far after doing this seems to have worked. As far as comfort they are pretty nice, I like the piece that protrudes from the earphone and hides sleekly into the gel earbud holding it into place and preventing loss. Quality of wire is really good and sturdy which is what I bought these for as my previous 2 pairs of Jaybird X's would get worn out in the area where the volume control is at. Sound is good if you like the X3's these will be fine make sure to use the Jaybird app to create a custom equalizer if you want more base, clarity. I use these for my daily runs and aren't heavy or bounce everywhere. Volume levels and sound canceling is really excellent, can go really low and really high if you are in high noise areas. Would recommend to any looking to buy wireless earbuds with good battery life+ aesthetics + sound. If any questions feel free to ask. :)

These are the ideal workout earbuds in my mind and, as you can see from other reviews, in other minds as well. The sound is amazing (as expected at this price point), and the design is top-notch. The braided cord relaxes on your neck and feels like it's not even there. This is the biggest design improvement over previous Jaybird models. I've had X2's for over 5 years now and always hated how their cord had a mind of its own, flaring out from one side or the other. The earbuds also have a small notch that the silicon eartips go over, so there's absolutely no way for the tips to detach. I like how they made the fin and eartip all one piece. The portion of the earbud that the silicon tips go over actually rotate, which Jaybird calls SwitchFit. This allows the earbuds to be switched from an over-ear position to under-ear and vice versa without having to take the eartips off. Jaybird engineers should get a raise for all these improvements. Other big improvements include the IPX7 rating and Bluetooth 5.0. For those that don't know, IPX7 means they can be put in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. So they'll have no problem in showers, saunas, steam rooms, or pools. And Bluetooth 5.0 allows for improved connection, connecting to 2 devices at once, and lower energy consumption. I imagine these have a physically bigger battery in them than other models, which is why the battery life is so good, but Bluetooth 5.0 certainly plays a part since it uses considerably less power than previous Bluetooth versions. I'd compare the connection reliability to AirPods, which is as good as a wireless connection can be. AirPods actually don't have Bluetooth 5.0 but contain Apple's W1 chip that allows for a fast and reliable connection to other Apple products that also have the chip.

If it wasn't for one very unexpected design flaw, I would rate these at 4.5 stars. My ideal headphones are small on the ear, have an immersive sound experience, minimal sound leakage (both in and out), are comfortable, have a long battery life, and at least decent bass (I know this is relative). These earbuds have all of these qualities. FIT/COMFORT (5/5): Of the 3 models of Jaybirds I’ve owned, I’ve never had any complaint about fit or comfort. The new models fixed my only complaint of the X models, which was that the ear tips kept falling off. These earbuds have a one-piece ear tip and wing that fits perfectly and comfortably in my ear. I use these earbuds every day for multiple hours a day. Even at over 10 hours of continuous use I didn’t feel any in ear discomfort. I should note that there are only 3 size choices and some reviewers couldn't find a good fit. SOUND (5/5): I am not a basshead, but I enjoy full and punchy bass. The default sound profile of these earbuds is quite flat, but that is by design. The ability to change the EQ to my liking or profiles shared by other people is one of the things I love the most about Jaybirds. Once you find the right ear tip fit and EQ of your liking, the sound is wonderful for this price point. BATTERY (5/5): I’m not certain if I get a full 12 hours on these, but if not it's close. I’ve definitely listened for more than 10 hours on a single charge multiple times. On top of a long battery life, I absolutely love the new charging system. Instead of an awkward clip on thing that only works in one direction, these have a magnetic charger that works in either direction. WORKOUTS (4/5): These earbuds have a very secure fit and don’t go anywhere no matter what I’m doing... but I’m not a fan of the extra length of cord hanging out on my neck whether or not I use the cinch piece. I would prefer something like the old system that secured all extra cordage up off of my neck. It is possible to cinch these higher up on my head so that the cord doesn’t dangle against my neck, but any bouncing motion causes the end of the cord to bounce against my neck or the back of my head which is very annoying. I can also twist and tuck the extra length uncomfortable inside the cinched area, but after some time it will slip out and start bouncing again. CONSTRUCTION: Over all these earbuds appear to be quite ruggedly designed and should have a long life. Unfortunately, I haven’t owned a pair of these for more than about 3 months due to my one major negative below. Minor negatives: 1. How they lay on my chest when not in use: These earbuds have magnetic backs, but this is made almost entirely useless because the earbuds do not rest back to back. While one earbud back faces the other earbud, the other earbud twists so the ear tip is facing the other. The rigidity of the cord causes uncomfortable twisting in order to touch the buds back to back. I call this a minor negative because I don’t really use this feature. 2. Call quality is horrible. This has been true with every Jaybird model I’ve owned. The people on the other end of my calls can barely hear me… as if I’m speaking from a great distance. While it would be nice to be able to take calls, I call this a minor negative because I really only use these earbuds for listening. This could easily be a major negative for someone else. Major negative/flaw: The control unit rubber face peals away from the plastic casing. - The X models have a solid plastic control unit with cutouts for the rubber buttons to pass through. This model has a solid rubber face where the buttons are. Within a month, one or more button areas of this rubber piece start to bubble up away from the button underneath. This gets worse and worse over time, making pressing the actual buttons difficult… and eventually the rubber starts to ripple and peel away from the control panel at the sides of all 3 buttons. Within two months I can pass the tip of a pencil under the rubber on either side of all 3 buttons. - This flaw may be exacerbated by how much I use these. I wear these earbuds daily for several hours at a time. At first I thought maybe I was causing the issue by occasionally keeping the right earbud and control unit inside my shirt while only listening to the left earbud. So, for my 4th unit I didn’t put the earbuds inside my shirt at all. This issue still occurred, but instead of just 2-3 weeks to start bubbling, it took 4 weeks. - I also thought that I might have had a defective unit. I have now used the Best Buy protection plan on these earbuds 4 times … I bought my original pair in Nov 2018 and as of this month (Aug 2019) I’m on my 5th pair. That’s how much I enjoy these earbuds. I'm sticking with these because I simply cannot find a different pair with comparable size, sound, and battery life. Bottom Line: I love these earbuds, but if you get them make sure to get the protection plan and I solidly look forward to Jaybird’s next version of these bad boys.

Previous Jaybird customer with X1s and a pair of X2s. Always used the Comply foam tips with both. Also have recently tried the Jabra Elite Active 65t. Could not get a good fit with the Jabras and lost both the left and right over two months. Even with foam tips they would fall out and bounce on the pavement or down a drain which brought me back to Jaybird. No more complete wireless for me unless they have some type of ear piece to help hold them inI was going to buy the Tarahs when I saw the Pro model. For $60 more I could forget to charge these all week and still have enough juice for the weekend. So ordered from Best Buy and used them the other day. Absolutely great. I did the custom EQ and the sound is fantastic. I have never been a fan of the silicon ear pieces until now. This is a new design by Jaybird and it works great. One piece rather than two. It was no effort to place then on my ear and I had a good seal. I never had to adjust them once for an hour run. Felt so good I left them in while I worked around the house for a couple of hours. I have been a fan of Comply tips for a few years now but even if they come out with one for these I am not sure I would switch. This new ear piece design is that good. About the only con I have is the proprietary magnetic charger. Hopefully they release replacement cables soon as I would really like to have a spare.

These earbuds aren’t only for running, although they are perfect for secure earbuds for exercise. These buds sound great. Quite neutral sound with a small emphasis on bass. The app to customize eq settings should be perfect for finding your custom sound that fits you best. The fact that people can share their settings as a social media sort of thing makes it easier to find that perfect sound. Comfort is subjective. It took me a week to get completely comfortable with it since the bud and wing tips are one piece and not customizable to mix and match. So you only have Sm/Md/Lg as options. Battery live is great. 14 hrs is more than enough for most long days at work and gym after work. Build quality is nice, sturdy, and IPX7 makes me feel that the buds are bulletproof. Bluetooth 5.0 makes range great, solid connections, although I haven’t tried to pair to multiple devices Small dislikes I think the cord length is a little short for the magnetic backing and wearing around the neck comfortably when not in use. Perhaps the strength of magnets could be slightly improved for sturdiness. When I first bought them, they slid off my neck a few times until I started utilizing the included alligator clip and secured to the back of my shirt. Slight discomfort with the ear tips. Only noticeable after extended wear. Lack of availability of proprietary charger, and lack of ability to find comply tips. The standard tarah has a comply sleeve available, however the pro version is slightly different making the tips not compatible. However, overall great earbuds. Good sound, and easily one of my better purchases for listening to music.

These headphones have everything that I have been looking for in a pair of headphones to workout in. They have a very comfortable and secure fit. I have had these for 2 months and can count on one hand how many times I had to push them back in or adjust them. I work out 6 days a week and have never had a pair of headphones that stood up to the amount of use I put them to for very long. I sweat a lot. This has caused many of my headphones in the past to short out in one of the buds. These have an IPX7 waterproof rating and stand up to my longest and most intense workouts. The battery life and quick charge are amazing. Even if you forget to charge them, and they are dead, a 5-10 minute charge will last you for a good workout session. The raised controls are easy to decipher. I wish they would be just a bit louder, but they do cut out a lot of noise (the only reason I could not give them 5 stars). The cord is durable and does not stick to you when you are sweating. If you are looking for a secure fit for headphones and great sound with battery life to match, these are your pair of next headphones. The personal app is an added bonus that keeps the setting on all devices you pair with until you change it.

These Bluetooth Earbuds sound so amazing when you have the correct EQ on them. The kick of the bass is extremely accurate and punchy without distorting any of the mids or highs. The magnet on the back is also a very huge plus. It automatically pauses your music which comes in handy when someone tries to talk to you but your music is still slappin. Which also in turn makes the battery last even longer in case you forget to turn them off. These Bluetooth Earbuds are the best in the game, they check off all of the best in the industry. Waterproof/Sweat Proof, 14 hour battery life, Fast charging, stylish and attractive. If you're a AirPods user you are severely missing out on the future of how music should not only sound, but how much easier life is when your earbuds work for you, not the other way around.

Wanted a pair of earbuds for everything in life. Video lag is a tiny bit with my iPhone XS but I can deal with that. Music is pretty amazing. Lows and highs are nice. The app is easy to use and equalizing the buds to your hearing abilities is quite neat. Looked at a lot of reviews online about Jaybirds and read they have a good reputation for sound. When I saw these had the cloth cord, I was sold. If you've owned a clothed pair of earbuds, you know why. I put the buds through my Radiohead playlist test and was wowed. They feel very well constructed and worth the money. Very comfortable in the ear so far too. Hoping these will last!

The Good: Battery, Charger, Magnets, Design, Sound, Comfort. The Bad: Not 100% Secure, Length, Pop Sounds, Play / Stop Button hit/miss. Is this the one for you? If money is no issue, sure only because of the amount of charge you can get and how fast it can charge it. Comfort good, nice colors. I would say the sound is a slight improvement, but the previous model did the job as well. If you don't really need this, I'd say the best option would be the last model or Plantronics. My only issues with it is that it doesn't come already with a snap clip to put on your shirt, as there have been multiple times I have really FELT it wasn't on - like if I dropped it. That is not a good feeling at ALL, its an expensive feeling. The length is so short that I feel when the magnets are together, it's like wearing a choker - and as a male, just no man. There are also sometimes these pop sounds that I'm starting to notice occasionally. The stop / play button doesn't seem to work, leaving me to have to take my phone off to pause (I have to double check if I missed something in the manual) Other then that, I would say these are only good on a sale, as the battery / charging is amazing and looks really neat with the magnets being a nice touch. (I use these for work only - I need something to listen to podcasts for a long time and be able to still work the next day if I forget to charge them)

I know how they get 14 hours out of these now. They limit the volume. It's like a itch you can't scratch. It's loud and sounds great but every once in awhile I want just a little bit more. I can adjust the EQ for more but then I'd lose the sound I like. I listen to these at max volume almost all the time, especially at the gym or other loud areas. I wish they weren't child proofed. I'm ok with the cable but it would have been nice if they included 2, One for home and another for your gym bag or backpack. It's never where I need it when I need it. The fit, for me, is great. I like having the different options for how I want to wear them depending on what I'm doing. I use these a lot for YouTube, Netflix and I have a bluetooth transmitter for my home tv. Iphone, Ipad and Surface Pro, I've haven't any issue with audio lag either.

These headphones are fantastic! I use them regularly for my workouts as well as when I travel and really just any time I want to block out the world and escape. My only complaints have to do with their fit, and use in an aircraft. I'm a flight attendant, so naturally I am always traveling. When I am doing so as a passenger, I basically throw on these headphones and zone into a book for hours. The pressure of the aircraft upon decent, causes them to loosen in my ear, same with take off. Then I have to spend ten minutes fixing the fit - which leads me into my other complaint. These are really not made for those with smaller ears. It does come with 4 different sizes, I just have tiny ears so the fit isn't perfect. There is a small option though, which is more than I can say for most similar products. Overall these truly are amazing - great sound quality, good price point, the battery lasts FOREVER.
