Although Jaybird is not well-known in China, it is a well-known brand in the United States. According to statista's 2017 statistics, Jaybird headphones are among the top 10 in the U.S. market, and are one of the three brands in the top 10 brands that were founded after 2000. Jaybird's success is due to the Bluetooth wireless trend of headphones, which has been focusing on the field of sports Bluetooth headphones since its birth, and Jaybird JB100 Freedom is known as a pioneer of wireless sports headphones. In 2016, Jaybird was acquired by Logitech, a giant in the field of computer accessories.
Jaybird's headphones are all sports headphones, but the sound quality is not bad, and its X3, X4 and Run headphones all scored 71 points in the U.S. Consumer Reports, tying for third place in their category. In addition, the Jaybird Run was named to Engadget and PhoneArena's lists of the best wireless Bluetooth earbuds, and the X3 was considered one of the top 10 Bluetooth earbuds of 2018 by techradar.
Jaybird has four product lines: Run, Tarah, X and Freedom. Among them, Run and Tarah are new series, the former is a split Bluetooth headset series, and the latter emphasizes the basic performance of sports headphones, such as stronger waterproof ability and more secure wearing. The X Series focuses on "multi-function" and can connect 2 devices at the same time, and 2 pairs of headphones can also be connected to the same device. The Freedom series is characterized by a small earphone cavity for a more comfortable fit.
All Jaybird earphones can adjust the equalizer through the mobile phone APP, which is convenient for users to choose their favorite tuning, and all support fast charging function, which can play music for 1 hour after charging for 5~20 minutes, while other brands do not equip all their earphones with these two functions. The disadvantage of Jaybird headphones is that they do not support aptX Bluetooth encoding, only X3, Freedom 2 and Freedom support AAC Bluetooth encoding, which is more suitable for users who use Apple devices.
Three headphones that scored 71 points in the same "Consumer Reports",Run is a split headset,The stability of the connection is difficult to guarantee,And X4It does not support AAC Bluetooth encoding,Therefore799YuanX3It is more recommended。 By default, the X3 has a wide soundstage, clear mids and high frequencies, and plenty of volume in the low frequencies, especially when using the included COMPLY foam earmuffs (3 pairs to choose from), which is more dense in the low frequencies, which is suitable for pop rock songs. However, it should be reminded that the X3, like the X4 and Tarah, has a unique charging interface, which is difficult to find on the market, so you need to take good care of the charging cable.
If you don't have a big budget, or if comfort is important, you can choose Freedom 2 or Freedom. They are all priced at 599 yuan, support AAC Bluetooth encoding, although a single battery life is only 4 hours, but equipped with a mobile charging clip, which can provide an additional 4 hours of power, and Freedom comes with 3 pairs of COMPLY foam ear tips with excellent comfort.
