Beats X vs Jaybird X3's: The Empire Strikes Back!

2017-02-26
where you going buddy looks like you're going to the gym without you no never you've got your favorite gym hat on you've got your favorite gym clothes on sure you're not going to the gym what is up guys is BC back here again with another battle today we have a battle between my two favorite headphones currently at the moment and that is the j-bird a three is you know the chance that's been digging graves for all other workout headphones recently on my channel and the new beats X we have a challenger we finally have a formidable Challenger to take on the j-bird X threes but it's going to take a lot to to take away the title of king from the jaybird x threes well in the battles let's see who takes the crown of best workout headphone 2017 first let's start off with the comfort and design now I feel a lot of people ragging on the jaybird x3 but see other reviews just people saying that the jaybird x3 they're not given the x3 is the credit they deserve the X fit works guys it just works and I helped one of my subscribers get a good sense by he was using the wings and the phone tips and he just couldn't get a good fit so I said take off the wing just use the phone tips and they should work just fine in the worked out for him these things if you use the X fit work really well if you try to have it hang on your neck they will snag and they will rip out whether you're jogging I know I see people like to wear like that but it they just don't work like that I know they say that you can we like that but it doesn't it doesn't work so use from the ex fit I found the David x-rays to be very comfortable only a couple of times a workout did I have to really fix them and put them back into place I say maybe once or twice nothing to make me feel like how these are becoming a hassle now of course they come with a silicone and the phone pitch both work great for me I switch off every once awhile when I want a different kind of sound that the base from the silicone is just better than on the phone with the David x3 so now let's talk about the fit of the beats X guys I have to say without hyping it up these are the most comfortable headphones on the market the most comfortable and the most secure so if you're a runner the beats X are going to be for you because these things do not move the only time that I take these out or that they're going to fall out for me is when I take them out to talk to somebody talk to my workout partner at the gym that's literally the only time they've gone out on me and I run outside I've run on treadmills I've done Stairmaster I've done a list of climbs done everything I've done weightlifting with these and they just do not move somebody had a question about oh do they get away for squats no they do not it states out of the way and if it does you can just reposition it up above the bar and it's okay now one thing that Jaber did right that beats did not do is they make them sweat proof the jaybird expertise are swept whereas the B techs are not but I have a caveat to that because this morning this very morning I dropped one of my headphone but from the beat X into my coffee that's right I dropped it into my coffee on accident and I said oh these are not waterproof they're not even sweat proof these are done but I was wrong I cleaned off the silicon and these worked perfectly no static no problems no nothing they just work so I don't know maybe it's magic I'm not going to complain I'm not going to ask questions but these were different coffee and they're still here so for this round I have to give it to the beat ex just because they are just so comfortable so secure that you just do not have to worry about them and they will please everybody from workout enthusiasts to profit to weightlifting to marathon runners whenever you got to do the b6 will get you there so in a sound aspect I know in the past beats have been beaten down they said Oh too much bass it's too staticky there's a lot of distortion but Apple has cleaned up the beats brand a lot this is a new beats it's a new beats a new year new products and beef is here to stay guys let's drop all that 2016 in the past and move on the 2017 where's beef is doing great thing now the B ticks sound great as a box they sound very warm there's a lot of emotion there and that's just something that you need for your workout you need that emotion you need to get emotional during your workout to get through that workout because we've all been there on that last set where it's just grueling you just want to leave the gym and then that song comes on and you really feel it like I am a tiger comes on and you really feel it you feel that bass you feels a vocal hit your soul and you just go for it so all in all the beats X they have great men great bass the treble the highs get a little harsh in some songs maybe rock so that's something to look out for they're very bright sounding but that's okay that's something that I can overlook so now let's talk about the j-bird x3 sound now they sound very flat on the box and the b6 sound better out of the box a lot of people might put all the j-bird expertise and think oh I wasted my money so in sum I found out you can take the j-bird x3 / signature and color it however you want like a painter you can make the sound however you want so anybody out there can Casey's headphones and say you know what I want more bass I want more mids for vocals and then you have a motional headphone or you can you don't like a lot of Asian on the bass head fine take out the bass so I'm confident more people will like the profile of the jaybird x3 just because you can make it what you want they have great channel stage so even if you like instrumental TDM these are right up your alley let's get questions like which one is louder and people like black me for saying this headphone is not loud enough but hear me out I listened to a lot of live sets and sometimes they aren't the best quality or sometimes you have lower quality music that needs to be boosted up a little bit right it's not the loudest so to even hear it sometimes then music sounds like good listening to a little mouth so it's great just to have the ability to go higher if needed doesn't mean that you're going to use that volume it's just when needed I can go higher and in this case the jaybird x3 go higher so that's something you're looking out for the beat X get as loud as I say the power beats 3 whereas a David x3 is get loud not super loud to the point that it hurts your ears but it gets loud enough gives you enough room so that if you have those quiet songs you'll be satisfied so who ends the sound round I give it to the Jay bird x3 because for one the louder for 2 they have this my sound app and it's great you can make it however you want so they are my winner in this category so let's talk about the battery now the Jay bird expertise last longer than the beats X for me at least even though they're both rated at 8 hours I still found that the David x-rays lasted longer so the different x-rays lasts longer they also take longer to charge whereas the beats X they don't last as long but five minutes of charging will get you two hours of play and we've all been there where we're sitting in our car we want to go work out and our headphones and up 10% 20% that's not enough to get us through our workout throw these on a charger and you're good to go in five minutes if your pre-workout needs to kick in or your coffee needs to kick in let it kick in charge these and then going to the gym and kill your workout so let's talk about the elephant in the room and that is the charging port for the j-bird x3 the charging clip this thing is just stupid guys I don't know why they did this they said it easily on this big remote put a micro USB charger I don't get it I don't get why they did that meanwhile Apple smartened up and put a lightning cord so those of us with Apple iPhones will be able to just plug in our lightning cable and we're good to go no problem so if you're ever in your car and you're like oh crap I'm on my way to the gym already oh wait I can just charge these with my iPhone charger where as a jaybird oh crap I don't have my charger it's at home you can't stop it target you can't stop at Walmart you can't stop it any grocery store and pick up a jaybird clip it's not happening your headphones are done yes either drive back home or just work out without music and to me that's a little ridiculous they need to take that idea and put it in the trash that needs to go next j-bird exports that needs to go so in the battery round even though the jaybird x-rays last longer the quick charging ability of the beep X Trump that and just not having to deal with the charging clip the b6 win this round let's talk about the connectivity I haven't had any interruptions with either one of these headphones at the gym period that goes without saying but here are a couple things that you guys might want to take into consideration and that is that the b6 when watching video is more accurate than the jaybird x3 so on my s5 and iPhone 7 plus the beat X fact milk issues with video whatsoever the j-bert x threes on the other hand there's a little delay it's very slight and if you really have to be looking for it and be conscious of it and maybe now that I told you guys I messed you guys up but but for the connectivity I have to give it to the v6 for that reason now the beef X features a w1 chip on top of all that and that just allows for quick connecting to your iPhone device a little bit easier so just for ease of use and for the video I have to give this round to the beat X now one thing that I like that jaybird did that I feel like these needs to do in the next version of this headphone and that is that the volume up and down buttons act as forward impact on the tracks that is the best way to change a song not hitting three times on the middle button or two times to go forward it just doesn't work it's not very intuitive and when you're in a workout or you're on a run it can be very disheartening when the song to straight-up stops because you didn't hit it quick enough or in a way that the phone recognizes so in the future beats at that feature so let's end this review off with call quality now I have to say that both of these headphones sounded great Jeffers for the longest time for years and years they slacked on the call quality and I think with a jaybird X 3s they really improved but it's still not quite there there's a little bit of an echo still when you're on phone calls whereas again the connection with the v6 it's just fast so if you're a person where call quality is important to you go as a beats X so in conclusion to make a long story short the beats X are your winner after beating the power beats threes the great handsome after beating my past favorites the both sound support wires finally the j-bird X threes have met their match and what it came down to for me is comfort I always go back to if they're comfortable you're going to listen to them for a longer period of time you're going to enjoy music for a longer period of time and in this case you're going to be able to workout worry free of your headphones popping out of you so the b6 are your winter from the comfort to the sound to the connectivity to the call quality everything is just excellent with these headphones they're in my opinion these are a must-have because they're going to go a long way the only way I wouldn't recommend these is if you're a huge sweater and you know that you just drench your headphones go to j-bird X threes there's still a great headphone in fact I'll probably switch off between the two headphones once in a while alright guys so don't forget to Like share comment subscribe on this video if you enjoyed it and I will see you guys the next video you
