" ... I have had them for over a year but have had lutef useage since I have been trying to find the right combination to fit my ears correctly. ... "

" ... Did not fit my ears very well. ... The ear molds were all odd sizes and uncomfortable in my opinion. ... I could let all of that slip as I understand they can't fit 100% of the population. ... If I try to wear them with the cords hanging down they slip out of my ears unless I jam them in there to the point of an airtight seal -which can't be good for my eardrums. ... As it is, they're uncomfortable and far too expensive for the quality. ... "

" ... I tried and tried to find the right size to fit mine and just gave up. ... "

" ... You get a pretty crisp sound and reasonable bass. ... "

" ... If you are a bass heavy listener, These are not for you! ... "

" ... I like the sound signature in that it's not too heavy nor devoid of bass. ... It has a bit more bass than my studio monitors but that's okay for me for casual listening. ... "

" ... If you're looking for heavy bass and studio clarity, buy an over the ear headset. ... "

" ... Also order extra ear buds and parts. ... "

" ... Even the cheapest pair of earbuds have a notch or groove so that the silicon/foam eartips are securely attached to the earbuds. ... "

" ... The sound is high quality for ear buds. ... "

" ... The sound on this Jaybird model is pretty good for ear buds. ... "

" ... Second, the comply foam ear tips are great until they're not. ... "

Cables

wire, clips, jaybird, cut the cord, another brand

+31%

-69%

" ... Turns off itself even on a full charge and only way to power up is to replug it in its cable, I replaced it and the same thing. ... "

" ... They only fit right if I wear them wires over the ears and the cord won't hang properly so the cords just sort of bounce above my ears while jogging. ... If I try to wear them with the cords hanging down they slip out of my ears unless I jam them in there to the point of an airtight seal -which can't be good for my eardrums. ... "

" ... I no longer am bothered by a cord. ... "

" ... seems like with the last one the cable inside get loose and/or swet does kill the thing :( . ... "

" ... 3 months into LIMITED use, wires lose connection. ... "

loud, maximum, sound quality, complaint, limited

+34%

-66%

" ... I can't hear you anymore . ... "

" ... It no longer ever increases the volume, which is very frustrating. ... "

" ... The only thing I do not like is that when I receive incoming calls the ring is very loud even when my volume is lowered. ... "

" ... As far as sound quality goes the only complaint I had was that the volume was a bit too low for my liking but the actual quality of the sound was good other than that. ... "

" ... Also the volume is not very loud at all at its maximum which was a huge disappointment. ... "

" ... they are not "sweat proof". ... "

" ... Just had my second pair of these short out and although there is a lifetime sweat-proof guarantee, there doesn't seem to be a way to initiate a return through amazon so am trying to work with JayBird directly. ... "

" ... Sweat got in my first pair and muffled all the sound. ... "

" ... I am now on my 5th pair of Jaybird X2s - they are far from sweat resistant. ... "

" ... And no, there was no lengthy exposure to elements nor drenching the X2s in pools of sweat . ... "

+39%

-61%

" ... The audio will disconnect but your device will still think it's connected (because it is) and it will keep playing but you hear nothing - it won't output through the phone because it's still conneceted. ... "

" ... The worst part was that they would constantly stop working during phone calls. ... They didn't hang up the phone when this happened, just disconnected from call audio. ... So I would be talking and then all of a sudden hear the person I was talking with through my phone speakers saying "what??? ... This happened as many as 20 times in one phone call. ... The headphones wouldn't even turn off, just disconnect from the call. ... "

" ... It just doesn't work when I speak to people. ... Sometimes it does, most of time they cannot hear me. ... "

Frequencies

bass, mids, highs, beats, sufficiently

+70%

-30%

" ... The frequency spectrum is actually very well-balanced. ... If you're used to Beats, you probably won't like these, because Beats are poorly balanced and over-represent the bass frequencies of a song. ... "

" ... The highs, mids, and lows all come through very well. ... "

" ... Highs and mids are very crisp and don't sound muddy like my beats do. ... "

" ... Lows and highs are controlled and for small IEM drivers, the bass is suprisingly sufficiently punchy for my music however if you want that thumpy bass, you wont find it here, these drivers just cant pump out that thump without distorting your music. ... Mids are sufficiently present. ... "

Lagging
