I don't understand why you'd place audio quality the last on your list of priorities when buying a pair of headphones. Granted that durability and connectivity and battery life are important when it comes to wireless/fitness headphones, but I don't think any of them can overpower the need for great sound.
Also, doesn't JayBird provide lifetime warranty? Isn't that basically gold-standard for durability?
While audio quality is important, the earphones are useless if they keep falling out of your ears during sport. So in that aspect, I can understand. But of course you can't say that the audio quality is not important.
Jaybird wont fall... that easy !
It would be convenient to put links to the products in the description.
I've got the JayBird Bluebirds X and I have to be honest with you, I couldn't be happier.
Had them for a year so far so good?

James Carlyle just got x3s. Best ever
I have the Jaybird Freedom 2 headphones (got them on Black Friday in Canada at 130$ or 70$ off regular price) and they are awesome. They fit pretty well, they are awesome for running due to lightweight construction and they have that customizable sound profiling in the app. Just wish I didn't lose the size 2 tips, because those are perfect for running, but that's my fault not the headphone's.
Jaybirds are mkbhd approved
Unless if they are sponsor?
They are, but I doubt he ran with them.
+Harris Craycraft he does, he works out, play ultimate, and runs is them.
+Antonio Silva It is illegal/a serious offence for him to do a sponsored video without informing the audience. I doubt he is willing to do that with such a large audience..
A ton of Unbox Therapy's videos are sponsored, even if he doesn't explicitly disclose that. I wouldn't be surprised if a few of MKBHD videos are too. For example, you can get headphones with virtually the same audio frequency response as the ATH-M50x's for about $60, but that didn't stop MKBHD from hyping it up as having the best sound for the dollar. It is true he could get into loads of trouble if it did turn out he was being sponsored. Most RUclipsrs get around the sponsorship rules by doing a giveaway of the product their promoting. For example, if dbrand was "sponsoring" a video, a RUclipsr would probably giveaway a phone with one of their skins on it instead of admitting that they're sponsored.
Plantronics Backbeat Fit.... My favorite and earphones of choice for working out!!! What a product the company has come up with!
here are some things you MUST consider before buying anything:
#1- this video is most likely sponsored.
#2 - Do not buy air pods or beats. they are a total scam.
#3- Just because the product you get is expensive doesn't always mean it's better.
#4- Make sure to read specs about the product you want to buy.
#5- Sound quality *always* matters.
You can pick up decent stylish and functional wireless earphones for under 20$ if you don't care about the brand.
#6- you shouldn't care about the brand
Chubbicat any certain earbuds you recommend?
The worst thing about these videos is that they are usually sponsored so the top products in the list are not the best but the ones who paid the most $$$
iSquamata defenition of lobbying
true. I've had most of these including powerbeats 2 and 3, which only last no more than 6 month's, and the jlabs, which also crapped out and did not last the 12 hours of playback. get a pair of Anker Spirit X. battery last 11 hours and sound just as good as the powerbeats and are only 35 bucks
You lost me at saying bad sound was acceptable
Jaybird X2 and you wont regret it. Had mine for a year and works perfectly fine even the fitting is superb!
I've been using Samsung Level U for more than six months now and I'm more than happy with them. Be it sound, base, battery life, portability, exercising etc. I'm really surprised how they hold up my sweaty neck on heavy work outs for, as far as I heard, they are not waterproof. But looks like water resistant though. They held up great and the battery life gotten better over time.
I can't believe it's not even in the list of best bluetooth headsets mentioned or shown in this video.
I'm having a great time at the gym using Samsung Level U headphones or ear phones and I'm not gonna look for other options anytime soon, unless they are ground breaking..!
Jaybird X2 or even the Bluebuds X. End of discussion
ikr
Jaybird X2 are pricey, but they will last and provide amazing sound quality.
I bought a pair last month for 145 Euro to replace my X1's (aka Bluebuds X) but they sometimes go on sale in the US for as low as 75
Jaybirds X2 Super cheap and awesome earbuds. I got mine for 99$. Such a good buy!
+No Where did you buy them? I'm thinking of getting a pair ..
Um I have the jaybird x2's and they are amazing. They actually sound good. I would say they are the best sport earbuds/headphones out there.
I love the plantronic headphone. I have been using them for the last 2 years. I use them while jogging, deadlifts, squating. They're good especially when you get sweaty.
the interior decor in that property is pretty nice and having her sit on that sofa is just what any man/woman wants to see when they get home from a run.
how the hell do you not pick the x2
One pair costs $99 and the other $76. What ever happened to tech channels talking about cheaper quality products? Because as you mentioned yourself, these are going to get beaten up.
considering how most other tech RUclipsrs don't even mention anything cheaper than jaybird freedom and x2's in their recommendations this is so much better.
Are you a student? Lower prices than that exist but the quality would be really poor. $70-$100 range is considered cheap but of course not cheap for a student.
Yeah I'm a student. I don't know why they wouldn't review any of these:

These seem to be well reviewed and cheap. So maybe consider telling us how these are next time?
i have bought two of these headphones and i can guarantee that they sound good but they fit awkwardly
I suggest you to just go buy and try the ones you listed yourself. Some reviews are obviously fake but you can still based from them. You don't need to wholly rely on RUclips. Out of all of those I only know about AYL. They are poor in quality and battery life is actually around 5 hours rather than 7 hours. But because of that price, they can be considered as decent earphones. Same thing goes with all the others. Also keep in mind not to be fooled by the noise cancellation claim on these.
I've thrown my apple headphones in the washer and they still work perfectly
i just love the 'this is my next' series, absolutely fantastic work guys!
I really like the Yurbuds Freedoms personally. They stay in my ears :)
The plantronics have last me a couple of years. There was no learning curve for me. I love these.
Jaybird Freedom all day
I honestly prefer the Powerbeats 3 for workout Bluetooth earbuds because they fit very snug and they never fall out, they last 13 hours and only an 5 minutes are charge can get you an hours of music playback, and they literally take a second to pair my S8 Plus and they are instantiations if you have an iPhone. The audio quality is also very good and loud but I am no audiophile, The black color that I have also looks very stealthy and sexy in my opinion. I have also tried the Jaybirds X3s, The Apple AIrpods, and The Bose Soundsport wireless. And the Powerbeats 2 lasted me over two years of use while working out so I knew that it was only right that I get the Powerbeats 3.
The Verge gotta know how dope it is watching her workout.
I know this is about wireless running headphones... but what I'm interested in is the room of mid-century modern fabulousness this video was set in. Queue the Wall-E "Whoa" sound. Is this absolutely stunning gondola sofa an Adrian Pearsall? Also, I love that drawer unit.
Do each of you record these in your own homes, as it seems is implied... or do each of you somehow have your own set for recording videos narrated or starring you?
Either way, love the production values on these... keep it up y'all!!!!
I thought I saw the verve loop 2+ and I be curious to know what your thoughts are on that one comparatively.
What about the new Bose SoundSport Wireless?
Bose Soundsport are worth checking out
Really disappointed with the Epic 2s that I just purchased because when I go running they don't stay in your ear. Does anyone who have these headphones have any tips for a better fit?
i use jaybird s its great
X1? Or what kind?
she is the best reviewer The Verge has right now.
The jaybird x2 costed me $200 when I bought them and they are great. Work out with them along general everyday life and love them. The freedom looks just as durable so I wouldn't have any doubts to buying them at $200. Currently you can get them for $150 on amazon or Bestbuy and amazon has the blue ones on back order for $125
I like your video and the explanation of different kinds of earphones. Piduet is also a good earphone for running and lots of people like to use that.
Best sound and durable Bluetooth buds is Boss Soundsport Wireless. Couldn't be happier.
Great video! Thanks for the advice
I have the JayBirds, Beats and Plantronics. Plantronics is always my choice. They just fit so well, sound good and have great battery life.
I had the original EPIC BT headphones and they sounded fantastic, my favorite over the BlueBuds X, Jabra ROX, BackBeat Fit and another I tried. BUT the original had a terrible Mic and connection issues and I had to return them. if the Epic 2 fixes this then I'll get them again.
The Epics aren't exactly a neutral sound. they have BIG bass and an exciting sound, great for the gym in my opinion.
I use the X2 headphones. It costs $50 (New Zealand price), can use Bluetooth or wired connections, can fit any head, can fold for easier keeping, can last about 6 hours, uses USB 2.0 for charging and can pair with any device with the Bluetooth 4.0 standard.😃 Ha! Beat That!👽👽👽
Nice overview though, keep up the good work.
End of comment. Lol!👻👽👻
where in NZ did you buy them for $50 from?
+Gaby Soares Omnitech at the upper level of Albany Mall in Auckland, New Zealand. The headphones I got are the X2 Bluetooth headphones. It supports Micro SD, wired connection and has a foldable design.😎
Gaby Soares The brand is Nia
I've had three pairs of Jaybird X2 and has much as I like their sound quality, they're not sweat proof.
I love any video with her in it. 👍🏻
Both the Bluebuds X and the 2nd gen Jaybird X2 are amazing, but most people I see trying them are ignorant enough to miss out on the actual good use configuration:
Cable over ears and through the cable organizers behind your head! UNFREAKINBEATABLE!
I got the Jaybird x3. phenomenal product.
where did you find them? They seem to be out of stock at best buy
Exactly, I got really lucky getting it. Keep an eye out for it. They disappear fast.
Managed to buy a pair from Amazon this week, will be receiving them on Monday if everything goes well. Since they arent released yet here in europe im really glad Amazon ships to my country
Sony SBH70!! I don't understand why they're not included? I put mine on when I wake up in the morning and often fall asleep with them still in my ears. I have been running with them over a 1000km and they have never fallen out. I'm super impressed by the fit, and really happy with my $40 purchase.
I love your vid but also love that couch your sitting on where did u get it your style is outstanding u have exceptional taste
Love you Videos! I used to running the plantronics backbeat go 2
Before opting for the pricy Jaybird, I also tried this cheap wireless one called Sounders QY7. Used that for about a year and a half before option for X2
The plantronics works amazingly with me it fit and sounds great
JLAB For Life :) Love all their products.
She forgot about the symmetry. The control buttons should be in the middle, otherwise can pull easily out the one plug from your ear. And your body can interrupt the signal transmission so the other important thing is the quality/power of the transmitting. She just talking without any real test...
I would really love to know how good the microphone is on those headphones. I've tried a number of bluetooth stereo headphones, and the microphone is usually crap. Thanks for the great comparison.
REALLY with this aspect ratio?
c.lowery 21:9
You have mentioned sound on as the last point to consider. When we r talking about a headphone then sound quality is something which should always comes on a priority no matter if it's sports headphones or any other type. I believe that battery and build quality is also important but sound quality is not something to consider after battery, built and other features
Just picked up the Jaybird X3 today. So far its great. I got the Freedoms but somehow after a full charge, it didn't even last 1 hour at the gym before it died. So the X3 seems to be lasting longer.
Awesome Series looking forward too it.
In 2019 standards, get the anker's earbud. Costs 70 Canadian. Little steep. Hoping price comes down eventually.
sometimes you get them not just for the work out but for convenience while commuting. i went with the jbird x2 because of the balance of sound and convenience...now looking for something equally good but smaller profile for when i go to the mountain i could use them under the helmet.
the direct link to the article on your page would be nice...
Looks like someone spilled water on your carpet

if you're looking for some decent wireless earbuds at an affordable price i'd recommend skullcandy ink'd earbuds. I bought mines at walmart for 50$ however you can find em on amazon for around 30$. I'm new to wireless earbuds so I didn't know what to get however what did catch my attention about these earbuds was the 8hr battery life that it claimed. They really delivered in that department, a full charge lasts over 9 hours close to 10 non stop listening which was a real nice bonus. Something worth mentioning about them that might turn people away from them is the 5-10sec warning before they lose their charge. Personally this doesn't bother me since they last long enough to get through work. When charging the light on the left earbud lights up red and when done charging it will turn blue. I believe they take about 1-2hrs to charge completely. They are really light and rest comfortably on my neck that sometimes i forget i have them on. Sound quality is ok but then again I don't have any experience with any other wireless earbuds which is why I am wondering if the quality was decent or if there are any other headphones with superior quality with a decent battery life.
I've got the backbeat go 2's (Plantronics) they're perfect for what I need although they look a little weird when walking around at school
i got wired Bose sound sport for $50 on prime day- the are fantastic for that price
Try the AfterShokz Trekz Titanium .. Love them and no real competition (strong, flexible, wireless, neck phone, anti sweat)
MPow Magneto bluetooth. Fabulous and only about $30 on Amazon! Great sound, they'll take the punishment and they stay in your ears!
i like my sol republic relay sports wireless. sounds great, won't fall off, and its only $80!
Sound quality is important. Its not the last thing on the list.
Order should be
1) Cost
2) Sound quality
3) IPX certification
4) Fit
Bang olufsen h5 no question. Please review more than 12. It should be at least 90% of all major manufacturers.
Iv had them all. Power beats 3 are the best hands down. 250$ is worth it they last forever they soo good its crazy. I still have powerbeats 1 from years ago but i got the 3s because they have more battery life. If your cheap dont be get the power beats 3.
Its worth it people you wont regret it.
what's the best budget wireless earphones? please suggest or make a video of it.
I have Plantronics...work very well for me.
what about comparing on ear, in ear and other kind of headphones. different people prefer different kinds of earplugs
i have (awei) one and its so cool and best design and great quality of sound 😍.
I personally prefer the sony walkman (from a few years ago where the skip button was a wheel) it haveing storage and no Bluetooth allows you to leave the phone in the car so you don't have to worry about damaging it, the bases don't get flat and they have 8h of battery life
Defunc hybrid plus BT earphones are pretty good.
Do one for cycling as well, please?
im surprise you dont have the affiliate links for the products
*The BEOPLAY H5 are the BEST*
Finally someone said it! Ok maybe not for running but deff best sounding and looking!
+Jordan Thompson 💪
Super Saiyan 3 what is your point ?
Great job, Lauren!
Hey! What about the Bose Soundsport Wireless? Those are also really good earphones. And they obviously are better than the Powerbeats 2
I guess that you will the the best person to answer this. I 'had' the 'Jabra Sport Pluse' for an year. But they died on me just randomly. Googling around I have read that all bluetooth headphones don't last long. Some reviewers say they exchange there headphones every month or every 6 month. Long story short, what are the most long living one based on ur experience. As there are expensive one and I would like to used them for at least 3 to 4 year(Sorry if this number is high, plz comment)
What is ur take on this have u faced any such things with these headphones.
Are JLAB Epic2 long lasting in ur experience.
or is it that they do not last more than an year and I am asking too much.
or what is the best headphones that is reliable and longlasting?
One question, which has a longer life??? I just broke my xtfree and need a new pair that last for long time!
Why do some people complain about pairing Bluetooth headphones? It's something you only have to do once when you buy them. Are people assuming you have to do it every time you use them and re-pairing them unnecessarily?
Where are the Bose Soundsport bluetooths???
Backbeat fit is by far the best sport headphones when it comes to a balance between sound, durability, and price
wow I got my jlab epic2 two days ago before this video
and I love them and if the verge says they are the best then Jlab are into something
Plantronics Backbeat go 2. Fantastic in my opinion and cheap.
What's the point with making a video in 2.39:1 if the black bars are left in?
Check out 66 Audio's BTS Pro, they last me like 35 hours and the sound is amazing, I'm a runner so I love that they hook over my ear and I can still wear a hat with them on!
Thanks great review. Looked on Amazon JLabs Have HORRIBLE reviews on amazon right under 3 stars FYI. All issues are with reliability
The upcoming Samsung Gear IconX should have found a mention at least, they are going to be the goto Bluetooth headphones especially for workouts.
I dont know if this happens to other people but after 1 week of bluetooth earphones usage I start getting headaches which do away when I stop using these earphones.
You didn't mention whether they support Google Now like Jaybird
Where is your EVIL TWIN !!!!!
Evil Twin ,,, We miss you...
Can the jlab be use for swimming?? If not, any recommendations?
Jabra sport pulse is a good one too.
I'm sorry, but I really want high audio quality when I'm working out.
So what would be your pick ?
Beoplay H5 is the best sounding and most premium 😊
which one is the smarwatch that you carry in the gym scene. greetings
Do we also get the promo code for Jay labs epic 2. Or this it for the money they paid??
what about samsung's new wireless'
What about bone conducting options for running /cycling?
Are jaybirds worth the money?
I still cannot guess why using a wide aspect ratio for this kind of videos.
