Jaybird Vista 2 True Wireless Sport Bluetooth Headphones With Charging Case - ANC, Sport Fit, 24 Hour Battery, Waterproof Earbuds with Military-grade Durability - Black

Over the years I have bought many different headphones to use while out running.These are far and away the best I have ever owned.My last pair were also bluetooth, but not 'truly wireless' in the sense that there was a cord linking them around the back. The sound quality was fine, but it had become increasingly annoying how the cord would get stuck in the back of my T-shirt, I was forever having to put my hand back and re-jig the cord while I was jogging.I read very good reviews of these and decided to purchase them.Long story short, they are great. I have taken to listening to podcasts and audio books while jogging - having these removes the remaining distraction of trying to feel comfortable and I find I can get lost in what I am listening to while plodding along and shedding calories.There was one thing I was worried about - the thumping sound of the compressed air while jogging. In the past I have bought sports headphones and they tend to either plug your ears or sit and let some background noise through. I much prefer the type that let some sound through. I don't really like the thumping sound you get with the ones that plug your ears. I think the air gets compressed and transmits the sound.Well I was right to be worried - these *are* the type that plug your ears. After my first run I was wondering whether I would be able to get used to the thumping sound, or whether I should send them back. However, on my second run I upped the volume and also made sure I didn't compress the earphones too much into my ears. The thumping sound is still there but I tend to not notice it now.In terms of the fit - I tried the small option and medium option for the wings. The small ones seemed stable, but the medium seemed to be the most stable for me, so that is what I opted for. I go out for 40-50 minute runs and have felt no discomfort so far. I also actually fell over and rolled during one of my runs (don't ask - embarrassing), but the headphones never even felt like they were going to fall out.In terms of range I have not had problems - I once had them in and walked away from my phone downstairs to the other side of my house and was still getting clear audio through.In terms of battery, had them for 2-3 weeks now, and probably 7 or 8 runs, and have only charged the container for them once. It's very good how they get charged when you put them back in the container.The app is really good. I used the tool to set the levels once when I first hooked them up. It runs a wizard and asks you what feels comfortable for a range of frequencies and then gives you your final custom frequency levels. Or you can do it manually or use a bunch of presets. What it came up with for my custom setup sounds great to me.The app also automatically upgraded the firmware on the headphones. It also has quick instructions you can look at on what the different buttons do.In conclusion - great sound, great fit, they are 'plug' your ears type. Very very happy with them.

My challenge was to find a pair of true wireless buds which did everything I needed. My needs were; that they needed to sound great, stay in my ears (more later) and look good, not like some of the very bland looking products out there. I got the Nimbus Grey. I laboured over review after review of competitor products finding that nearly everyone had an issue and I was keen to ensure I did not waste money on a premium product which did not do what I wanted it to do.In the box included a tiny smart looking case in which the buds were housed, a short USB C charging cable (NB no charger unit supplied, although I have several myself so no issue), and two different sized silicon attachments for different shaped ears. I used the pre-fitted ones, keen to ensure the things stayed in my ears. Rarely have earbuds stayed in my ears. The fit was superb, and although I guess this will be different for everyone, the subtle fin on the buds ensures they stay in place (more later).Really easy to set up the buds with your phone using the app, (download from Google Play or the Apple equivalent) I have an HTC phone running Android 9. After the inital set up, the Buds connect immediately when removed from the case (Assuming your Bluetooth is on) and can switch easily between devices. Done through the device itself.It always connects to the last connected device used.Sound is fantastic and you know immediately this is the real deal and whatsmore the App allows you to adjust the sounds through a few pre-set options or you can manually adjust for yourself and save them as additional presets.Call quality surprisingly appears to be OK (given mics are in the buds, at you ear) according to those on the other end of the calls but I am guessing in noisy areas this might not be as good, although not tested that aspect yet. I guess this would be the issue with any buds used for phone calls though.The buds can be set up so that the left bud can be used for skipping back a track or the right forward a track as well as holding down the right ear bud button to increase volume and the left the opposite. You can also tailor the button functions for the various “Assistants” e.g. Google.The case is tiny and the buds are locked in place at an angle with subtle magnets, and the case itself has a magnetic closing, which all feels very premium indeed. The case is topped off with a short lanyard which could be handy for some. The case is small enough to go inside a zip pocket on running shorts. I take them everywhere now. There is an LED indicator at the front of the case, which glows white when you open the case, flashes whilst charging and stays permanently white (if plugged in ) to indicate that the buds & case are fully charged. (This doesn’t seem to take very long using a fast charger). The LED will flash red when you are running low and need to recharge. When the buds are on, the battery indicators will show in the notifications section of your phone and will bleep after every 5% of battery is consumed. Buds automatically start recharging form the case once you put them back in and there is a voice-through telling you they are connected and the battery level of the buds. Buds can be used separately to extend their battery life, although I am finding roughly 6 hours with both and I believe there is another 10 in the case, although have not scientifically measured this.I primarily wanted these buds for every day use, however I needed a pair which would stay in my ears at the gym. I undertake rigorous exercise including High Intensity Interval Training workouts (including lots of jumping type activities – the kind of things which would see most earphones simply fallout, also very frustrating if you have boxing gloves on. These things stay in like glue, despite all the sweat, and when working the way I do this would ordinarily result in the buds slipping (first pair I have ever had which I have not needed to adjust during a session!)One the noise cancelling front these are not noise cancelling by definition, although they do suppress outside noise considerably, to the point that it is about 85% to 90% effective, when music is playing.I would thoroughly recommend these buds, they sound great, look pretty cool and stay in my ears!100%Worth the money

I chose these for two reasons. One, they had wings, and the most comfortable and secure fitting earphones I have used have wings, so I figured that was a must. Two, I read a number of reviews that raved about the fit and comfort.I guess it should be obvious, but these aren’t going to fit everything. My problem was simple that these were huge! And here, I guess I’ll make clear that I am talking about how thick they are. They come with three different sizes, and I decided to try the stand size first. I put them in my ears, and those wings I was looking forward to sat hovering in the air over my ears, doing nothing at all to hold them in place. I’m not sure why the wings are so high up - maybe I have much shallower ears than most people? With much effort, I managed to tuck the wings in and under, and, to be fair, the things did stay in. The sound was good and clear, and I liked most things about them, with the very important exception of comfort. I’m not sure how you are supposed to press the button without pushing the earphone painfully against your ear, but I would have made do if they hadn’t also become increasingly painful just to wear. After about an hour, I decided enough was enough, and tried the smaller size.You may wonder why I had put off trying the smaller size to begin with if they were so painful, but, to my great disappointment, it turns out the main difference with the ‘small’ is that is lacks the wing altogether, which I hadn’t realised would be the case. I suspected that, without a wing to keep the fit secure, they would just fall out…and I was right. Not alone that, but the ‘smaller’ size did nothing at all to reduce the discomfort.I’m sure these are brilliant earphones for someone, but I am not that someone. The impossible search for a comfortable pair of earphones continues!
