Reviews around app (4.31 of 5)

  • It took two weeks of tinkering with the stupid app to get the sound to be listenable
  • but it still doesn't sound right, and sometimes the app doesn't automatically connect to the headphones so it reverts to the
  • The sound is great, connectivity, great, app is good and battery life is great
  • They are good headphones, with good sound, and really nice app
  • Love the sound quality especially great with the app personalization and good noise isolation.

Reviews around option (4.28 of 5)

  • Its a shame too, because the options available, the sound, for the one time they worked, and the fit were very appealing to me.
  • Was told over a year ago to wait for an iOS update and that they’d consider adding an option in their app to disable the microphone.
  • Shame as I really liked the original bluebuds which never had a problem.
  • I did my research on bluetooth sport earbuds and decided that these would be the best option for my needs
  • Have tried tons of different headphones and so far these are the best in-ear options I've found

Reviews around customer support (4.07 of 5)

  • Called customer support, was guided through reset process, it did not work
  • Poor product and NO customer support from a corporate side of things.
  • I contacted customer support at Jaybird and they said they would send me a new pair
  • Customer support is useless and only offers reset instructions, which do not solve anything
  • Decided to step up to the X3’s because I lost my original X’s

Reviews around fit (4.05 of 5)

  • The ear buds have a good fit but fall out kind of easy.
  • Sound quality is good, but the awful fit just made them extremely uncomfortable
  • I would only recommend this product if you like to terrible sound quality and an uncomfortable fit.
  • Add this development to the awful fit and you have a massive waste of money
  • The buds are comfortable with many different pieces so you get just the right fit

Reviews around bass (3.99 of 5)

  • I didn’t really like the sound, very weak bass, and the volume was not adequate to listen in a noisy environment like the gym
  • The sound was crisp and clear with the appropriate bass
  • These small bastards produce so much deep bass that they can almost compete with my large, awesome over-ear JBL Everest 700 Wireless
  • Even if you get a good tight seal, the bass is still weak
  • But the bass cracked with high volume and they could not handle it

Reviews around life (3.90 of 5)

  • Due to the terrible battery life I wouldn't recommend getting these.
  • Excellent sound with Jaybird App settings and good battery life
  • Great sound, sweat proof, great connection, and good battery life
  • Had the freedom and hated the battery life, this is so much better and a tad bigger than the freedoms which is much appreciated.

Reviews around range (3.87 of 5)

  • The sound and comfort of these are great but the range is terrible
  • They deliver great sound, have a good enough range that you don't have to leave your phone in your pocket, microphone picks up sound well enough and once you get the size dialed in they fit well
  • It has great range, I can be a good 25ft from my phone and get great reception and no audio quality issues
  • Great sound quality, good battery life, good Bluetooth range, and the microphone works great for calls.
  • They sound great when they are working, stay in my ear well, stay connected with good range.

Reviews around earbuds (3.27 of 5)

  • Out of the box the earbuds were disappointing at best in terms of sounds quality
  • Great sound quality, I’ve tried cheaper Bluetooth earbuds but after having Jaybirds nothing compares
  • Besides that, these are the best earbuds i have ever owned!
  • But it is not needed as the earbuds sound great anyway.
  • The earbuds are also constantly falling out while not in use

  • Product is great, it provides great sound, battery life is
  • Given my experience, I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Reviews around cable (2.14 of 5)

  • This product is designed to make you lose the charger cable
  • The proprietary charging cable makes these totally useless.
  • The option to fold up the excess wire with the provided clips also allows for excellent cable management
  • At the x2 version you can charge with any suitable cable as Samsung phone
  • I bought these headphones and right after unpacking them tried to plug them into the dock they come with as well as the usb cable and they didnt show any sign of being charged

Reviews around clip (2.02 of 5)

  • The proprietary charging clip is extremely easy to lose and $30 to replace
  • clips and honestly their charging clip feels cheap like it could break at any given moment
  • The clips were good in the first Bluebuds and these carry them over
  • The X3s come with a proprietary charging clip that is ONLY available through the Jaybird website as part of a $25 accessory pack.
  • I really enjoyed my pair of BlueBuds X's because I could charge them anywhere without worrying about losing the charging clip

Reviews around charge (1.90 of 5)

  • But the charging is fast and battery life is good - although 8 hours seems over-optimistic
  • The second negative is that there is a proprietary charging cable, lose it or forget
  • The proprietary charging clip is extremely easy to lose and $30 to replace
  • Don’t lose the charging adapter because it is expensive and is the ONLY thing that charges the headphones.
  • What I really don't like is the proprietary charging mechanism

Reviews around cord (1.87 of 5)

  • I really like that the cord is adjustable so you can wear them in any way you want, really
  • Great headphones but do not lose the charger cord it is unavailable for at least a month.
  • These earbuds never fall out unless I snag the cord on something and even then it’s not easily pulled out.
  • There's also a weird proprietary charging cord that's required.
  • The black cord feels a little softer than the white, as the white feels a little more rigid for some reason

Reviews around charger (1.84 of 5)

  • Love the sound quality , but you need to keep that charger with you safe always because it has its own special charger that you can't buy it only from Jaybird official website for the best price and it will take time to be delivered to you.the battery life is good so far but it is not the best
  • This comes with a proprietary charger that will make your life miserable, and if you lost it, you need to buy another one from them
  • I love the headset but lost the proprietary charger 3 weeks after I purchased them.
  • After owning these for about 5 months, the charger stopped working
  • Tested the second pair immediately on arrival and everything, charger included, worked perfectly.

Reviews around voice (1.77 of 5)

  • Some minor issues I have with it is the really loud startup and shutdown sound, and the annoying voice that notifies you about your battery
  • Similarly, the voice that greets you every time you turn on the headphones is too loud as well
  • comfortable~ Great voice notifications for battery low etc when you turn them on and
  • My latest failure has them unable to pair/connect and upon power-up the voice that tells you they are "on" or percentage of power remaining, slowed down, the voice sounds like an old record played at a slow speed.
  • My first experience with these was good... until the very loud voice boomed against my eardrums to inform me that they were on

Reviews around bite (1.71 of 5)

  • They do take a little bit to get them sized for the short cord , but worth it when running.
  • A bit confusing to figure out how to put on because they also come with tons of clips and also these ear curve thingies that come in three sizes and in my opinion would only ever work for people with regular sized ears
  • The wings are also a bit uncomfortable in my ears, as I do have small ears, but I need them to keep the headphones in
  • I do feel however they are a bit too expensive for what your getting.
  • Mine died out after about 10~ months and couldn't get anything done for it after I tried to contact amazon support a bit before they really gave out

Reviews around problem (1.69 of 5)

  • The problem though is that they have interchangeable ear pieces and they fall off easily in a pocket or if rubbed against
  • My only problem is that the gummies fall off frequently
  • The problem is that they will break on you either quickly or very quickly
  • I love the jaybird app, you can completely change your listening experience the only problem I've had with these is the tiny earpiece falling out after about 7 months into using these
  • Probably the best earbuds I have ever owned but only one problem, I seem to have trouble keeping the rubber ends on the earbuds and they will sometimes get stuck in my ears.

Reviews around piece (1.36 of 5)

  • The right ear piece has a constant high pitch noise and distorted volume
  • If you happen to lose the battery piece for the headphones, which I did, they quickly become useless
  • My only complaint about this headphones is that the weird design and piece of equipment to charge it.
  • I lost the clip during a move and it took two weeks for the company to mail me a new one, which left me with a very expensive and very useless piece of plastic
  • If you lose this piece, you cannot charge your headphones until you purchase the component and have it delivered.

Reviews around unit (1.33 of 5)

  • Unfortunately, with this third warranty replacement for a new X3, Jaybird stated that they will no longer replace any future faulty units for me.
  • took me less than 30 min t discover how it all works and charges, super user friendly application
  • n’t recommend to anyone.
  • I don't know if the unit was faulty or if after 10 minutes of trying to get the earphones charging module seated in the cradle, I was successful or not, but I never got the yellow light to stay on nor would they charge
  • Other online reviews don't match my experience, so it is possible I had a faulty unit.

Reviews around dongle (1.18 of 5)

  • This problem exacerbated by a proprietary charging dongle that will run you $50 if you need to buy another one
  • The issue is is the proprietary dongle is very small so it's easily lost
  • I will lose the dongle, rendering the headphones useless, especially since a new one is $50.
  • Having a proprietary dongle is annoying when you lose it and the sound quality is fine but not fantastic
  • Just don't loose the dongle.
