hey everybody I'm Chris whoa and I have a bit of a confession to make I'm kind of tough on ear buds I've gone through as many as a few pairs in a month before mainly because I keep breaking them because of snags it happens to all of us right now there is a solution in Bluetooth earbuds but a lot of those sound like junk not these the jaybird blue buds ex sound great plus they're light and comfortable there's got to be a downside right let's find out opening up the box the first thing you see is the earbuds themselves surrounding the handi included carrying case this is where you're going to find everything else the charging cable and a bag labeled accessories this holds three pairs of rubber tips small medium and large that's normal what isn't normal is the little wing looking pins these are the ear cushions also available in small medium and large finally there are a few cable clips we'll get to what they're for in a little bit the ear cushions are a major feature of the jaybird blue buds ex they fit into your outer ear and keep the ear buds in place this not only keeps you from dropping them in the sink but it provides better sound quality since they're not constantly slipping out of your ear the j-bird blew buds ex come with a few special features that make them a lot more user friendly than your average pair of Bluetooth earbuds the ear cushions are one of those features and so is Jenna the friendly voice that tells you when you're powering the blue buds up or down when you're searching for your audio device and other cool stuff like that unlike most ear buds the blue buds can be worn in two different ways the normal method has the cable going under your ear while the advanced method has the cable going over your ear this also means you don't need as long a cable which is where the cable clips come into play on the other hand it is a little harder to hit the buttons when you're using the advanced method jaybird claims a battery life of about eight hours in my testing they definitely got very close to that clocking in at around seven and a half hours they also charge fairly quickly reaching a full charge in two hours if you only need a quick music fix a thirty minute charge will get you ninety minutes of playtime and as long as you're carrying the charging cable with you in the carrying case charging the blue buds whenever you're not using them can keep you going all day no matter what you're doing finally we're talking about the most important factor the sound quality subpar sound quality can ruin what would otherwise be a great pair of earbuds luckily that's not the case here the one thing that everyone is going to wonder about and they always do is the bass and yes the blue buds get low indeed but the bass is more than that a lot of ear buds can push out low rumbling bass these days but the bass definition in the blue buds is impressive you can hear a lot more than you would in lower end earphone the low mid definition is also surprisingly good considering that even a lot of expensive over the ear headphones can have trouble with the low mids going up the frequencies it stays the same at the highs it's clear and crisp but not overly hyped sounding in that way that can hurt your ears after a while even as I cranked up the volume I didn't hear any noticeable distortion from the blue buds it might be present at the absolute highest volume levels but I wasn't willing to subject my ears to that stereo width was another aspect of the blue buds that really surprised me since that's something that suffered big-time and older Bluetooth audio devices these aren't the highest absolute audiophile studio-quality headphones you could ever use but hey you're not going to be looking for that in earbud anyway and B you're definitely not going to be looking for it in something that's Bluetooth based on features alone we're looking at a great pair of earbuds here even after trying there's not much bad I can say about them aside from that there's a bit of an adjustment period because of the way they can be worn and the ear cushions one thing that might put people off though is the price I'm not saying they're not worth it they absolutely are worth the money it's just that a lot of people might not be used to paying over $100 for earbuds if you're like me and tend to be rough on them you might want to be a little more careful with these or just use the included carrying case to protect your investment and that wraps it up if you want some more details make sure to check out the accompanying article you can find the link in the video description down below while you're there you can also find links to follow me android authority and the android authority crew if you haven't yet make sure to subscribe and why not check out some other videos once again I'm Chris look and thanks for watching
