Jaybird X3 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones Compatible with iOS/Android Smartphones Designed for Sport/Running/Fitness - Black

Product Information

So yeah, it’s safe to say that whether you’re going to be commuting to work, or hitting the gym after you won’t have to worry too much about these dying on you. The control module has three buttons on it and, just like the previous module, they all work fine and I had no problem reaching for them while running to adjust volume or skip between tracks.

Just like the Jaybird X3 and X2 before it, the Jaybird X4 has a little bit of everything and is a great all-around pair of exercise earbuds. These aren’t the first earbuds to have a sweatproof coating and an IPX7 certification, but it’s a welcome addition to the Jaybird line-up even if it is the company playing catch-up. Playback controls were also intuitive, and I didn’t need to look in the instructions to figure it out.Speaking of running, I was a huge fan of the plastic cinch on the cable that lets you adjust the cable.

Though you can change the way these sound via the app, I kept these on the “ flat” profile which is how they’re set fresh out of the box.One of my big complaints with the previous Jaybird X3 earbuds was that they weren’t waterproof, they only had a sweatproof coating. The story is similar to the last time with emphasis put on refining the line instead of re-defining it. You can adjust the volume by tapping the plus or minus buttons and skip between tracks by holding them down. The Jaybird X4 take that sweatproof coating, and raise you an IPX7 waterproof certification which means that you no longer need to be worried should you get caught in torrential rain or drop these in a pool.

But the addition of an IPX7 waterproof certification makes these a tangible upgrade to the previous models. The Jaybird X4 dosen't make any drastic changes to the wireless earbud formula that's been working so well for Jaybird. The Jaybird logo is now part of the paint job instead of imprinted on a cheap metallic sticker, the wing tips just have one big hole now instead of a ton of smaller ones, and the nozzle on the all-gray model is painted blue, and I’m all for it. These are the first time I was able to wear them comfortably behind my head, without needing to worry about them slipping out of my ears.I didn’t experience any skips while running or when I was wearing them while I was walking around my room, and when I was testing range I didn’t have any dropouts until I reached out 30 or 40 feet. To charge them, just pop them on the charging cradle just like the previous version, and plug them into a USB port. Then there’s the Jaybird app that you can connect to with your Spotify account and play music through, though I don’t know why you would. It’s almost exactly the same as on the Jaybird X3, which isn’t bad considering how slim that control module was as well.

The Jaybird X3 blew the competition away when they came out, and the true wireless Jaybird Run were good, but not mind-blowing. I can’t say that here because the addition of IPX7 waterproofing is definitely worth the money to me. Although the memory foam tips helped with isolation they were surprisingly uncomfortable, and I picked the smaller of the two pairs that come included in the box.The Jaybird series has always had it, but I was never able to make it work for me and just ended up wearing the earbuds dangling under my chin. Especially when you swap out the silicone ear tips for the memory foam ones (which also help with isolation).
