Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Jaybird X2 Review: Best Bluetooth Earbuds!”.
Hey what is up guys mkbhd here – and these are the jaybird x2s. They are these bluetooth, earbuds they’re, the sequel actually to the jaybird bluebuds x that i liked so much last year. So this is the review of them. It should be pretty easy, so the originals of these guys, the jaybird bluebuds x, were some of my favorite headphones like ever. I didn’t even use earbuds that much, but i would pretty much never leave the house without these they’re bluetooth earbuds that last like forever on battery, they have great sound. They happen to be under 200 bucks, so i included them on my top five headphones under 200 list.
Uh and a lot of people have loved them ever since now here’s the thing these came out like three years ago, so all the technology from the inside and out has improved in the last three years, so the jaybird x2s aren’t really like a design overhaul or Anything like that they’re more of a refresh of remaking the same product with new technology for 2015.. So here’s what’s new with the jaybird x2 that rhymed okay, first of all, they’re, not blue buds anymore. There’S no blue buds anywhere on the box, actually they’re, just the x2s now and they do come in a few colors.
So the originals were just black or white. The x2s come in a variety of colors, my personal favorite, of course, being the red and black, which is called fire. This is everything that comes in the box, the headphones, the case, three different size, rubber ear tips and now new, three different size, foam, ear tips. So the soft foam these actually used to be an optional paid accessory, so it’s nice that they actually include these for free as a part of the package. Now you also get the ear fins that help them stay in your ears and a tiny usb 2.0 cable. All you really need to do is get your bluetooth device to play, music from and you’re good to go, and you can pair with up to eight devices to this just one pair of headphones, the biggest improvement or actually, i think, the biggest change mechanically speaking is Actually the carrying case, so the original models carrying case was this sort of a hard clam shell design, definitely protective, but super annoying to open.
The new case is a hard shell on the bottom, but then more of a flexible soft rubber on the side. So you can just pop off the top put your headphones or accessories in there and then, when you want to close it, you just pop the top right back on when you’re done. It’S a lot easier for me than that clamshell and the other big mechanical improvement for the jaybird x2s is the improved ear fins which are a bit more comfortable a little bit softer to help these things stay more securely in your ear when moving or running you Technically, don’t have to use the fins, but they help the earbuds stay more firmly in my ear for keeping the seal and keeping the dope sound and speaking of dope sound. Yes, these do still sound awesome.
This is again where new technology comes into play. You can fit better drivers into a smaller place. You can work on the sound profile of such a small pair of headphones.
The bluetooth connection is more reliable, etc, and they still have this really rich. Uh warm punchy sound, like the last version super fun to listen to, especially for sports and stuff. They charge fully in about two hours and they still have that really long.
Eight hour battery life and that might not sound like an all-day thing. But if you only listen to music for two hours every single day, that’s going to last you almost a week and just the overall fit and finish is better here: there’s improved water resistance. It feels like the connection with the cable of the earbuds is more solid and the soft touch finish is way better looking and feeling in the hand than the glossy casing of last year. So there’s pretty much nothing.
I don’t like about this refresh, even if you’ve never used bluetooth headphones at all before these would be a great first pair, considering they’re super easy to use and pair and get started with, and then they’re really durable. So if you do drop them or you play a rough sport or have a long practice or get them wet, they will survive. So when it comes down to it, there are no better wireless earbuds for the price and i’ve tried a lot of them uh. I just can’t get past recommending these now.
Here’S the bonus, the originals, the jaybird bluebugs x, which are still pretty good uh. Now they dropped in price. So it’s like a new smartphone coming out. The older version drops in price a lot i’ll leave the link right below if you want to check out the original jaybird bluebuds x and get them for a steal.
I think they’re now like way under 150 bucks now so that’s pretty dope and i’ll also be giving away a second pair of the jaybird x2s. So if you want to check out a pair of those uh stay tuned on twitter, i’ll leave, my twitter link below some twitter giveaway action will be happening. That’S basically it if you enjoy this video feel free to leave it a thumbs up. Thank you for watching and i’ll talk to you guys in the next one peace.
