Second Jaybird purchase
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought a pair of Jaybird X2s a couple years ago after doing what seemed like a crazy amount of research for a pair of headphones. My friend has a pair of the beats wireless workout type headphones and my jaybird X2s were hands down better than his so I went back to the well and bought the X3s for my wife.
I wore them just to compare to mine and to make sure they were good. My X2s were a home run for me and the X3s are as well. The sound is simply terrific--while bass probably isn't as good as some over the ear headphones from beats by dre and the clarity probably isn't as good as the overear noise cancelling headphones from bose I have, for ear buds...especially workout ear buds and headphones in general, the sound is great. The convenience and comfort is also outstanding. When I got my X2s, the fit does take a little getting used to. I didn't think they would be as secure as some of the other ones with the wrap around ear piece etc.--but it's simply just a what you are used to sort of deal. They don't move one bit (there is a wrap around way to wear these too but both of us just put them in straight up)--just make sure you use the correct option of the 3 given you in terms of the plastic wing looking piece and we both use the mold forming (not the silicon) ear pieces which just add to the comfort, security, and make sweat (we both pour in sweat) and absolute non issue.
The only knock I would have is it does have kind of a weird charger (i would assume it helps it charge faster?) and that there really aren't a ton of improvements from the X2s (I preface saying that with i'm by no means an audiophile and make this statement as a general observation--i'm sure they would argue there are tons of improvements). Overall--great value (the price to quality aspect i'm convinced is unbeatable especially as we workout probably 3 to 5 times a week), great security and comfort, solid and even sound, and another good purchase.
