even though truly wireless earbuds or all the rays these days besides ear pods I still prefer to use wired earbuds at the gym because they usually have a longer battery life their Bluetooth connectivity is much more stable they cost less and more importantly you still have full media controls cuz of their inline controller and since they came out two years ago I've always really liked the chamber in X threes and I've never had a problem recommending them but now we have the new j-bert X 4 and the more affordable cheaper Terra they're not entirely new but there are some upgrades worth talking about the new j-bert x4 is currently retail for one $29.99 which is what the x3 is used to retail for whereas the new j-bert era is a little more affordable with the retail price of $99.99 if you want to pick use of these earphones up I'll have long description below and if you use the links really helps out to channel I highly suggest you to check them out because you never know what these earphones might go on sale and also checking my shelf down below at first glance it's kind of hard to tell the difference between the jaybird x3 x4 Xanterra because they look in perform very similarly to the DX threes and that's not a bad thing the X stories are just that good but first let's talk about the included accessories cause there is a noticeable difference just like the X 3s the x 4's come included with the carrying pouch and thankfully the new carrying pouch is slightly bigger than the X threes whereas the Jaber Terra don't come with a carrying pouch at all unlike the X 3s which come included with three sets of earphones three sets of round silicon ear tips three sets of comply ear tips any few cable management clips things have been a little streamlined with the X fours you still get three sets of your friends but now you only get two sets of oval silicon ear tips two sets of compliant your tips and instead of cable management clips the X fours now have a built-in fastener which I personally find much easier to use but there are still a clip so you can attach the access cable to your shirt and finally the Terra come included with the least amount of hardware and we're gonna dive into their new ear tips in a few you may have noticed by now that all three of these earphones also come included with proprietary charging cables which is a double sword on one hand it allows neighbor to keep their inline controller and earbuds very low-profile cuz they don't need to add a USB C port for charging but it is one more cable to keep track of even though the x3 and x4 still use the same cradle to charge the x4 is updated cable is a little more refined but unfortunately Terra doesn't use the same charging cradle as the x3 and x4 which I personally find a little odd Terra's inline controller is also very different from the inline controllers found on the x3 and x4 even though it's slightly thinner it's also slightly taller and wider you have the same basic three control buttons with the same read tactile feedback but I actually prefer Terra's raised extra buttons because they're easier to tell apart just by feel but all three of these your phones still have the same soft touch flat tangle free cable and even the earbuds on the x3 and x4 are identical to the same shape and they're the same size but the earbuds on the Terra are a little different from the earbuds on the x4 terrorist earbuds are basically the same size as the x4 0 buds but since they're a little angled they do stick out a little more but it's barely even noticeable but perhaps the biggest and most noticeable difference between the new j-bert Tara and j-bird x4 is going to be your customization options when it comes to fit and how you wear these earphones the j / tera have a similar system to what you would find on the bose sound sport free the ear tip and ear fin are all one piece and they're easy to take off and put on but you can only wear these earphones one way personally the me don't you trips fit me just fine and I haven't had any issues with them but the x4 is give you way more options when it comes to fit and how you wear these earphones and that's kind of why the X threes were so popular since that your tips and your fins are two different pieces you can mix and match until you get your perfect fit since the x 4's also come included will comply ear tips you can use them if you want to get a more snug fit and more passive noise isolation than what the silicone ear tips can offer but since I do find them to get a little itchy after a while I just like the SEL cone and if you want you don't even have to wear the ear fins at all and if you want you can also wear them in there over ear style for an even more secure fit what I'm getting at is the x4 is you more than enough options but I do want to point out that the new year fins on the x-force and Terra's are slightly different from the ear fins from the previous X 3 the new ear fins are slightly rounder and softer than the older your fins and I will admit that the new air fins are less noticeable when you have them in you don't feel them as much but I do miss the pattern found on the older fins cuz to me it just looked like cooler ok now design a fit out of the way let's talk about touch bags perhaps the biggest to expect difference between the older x3 and the new x4 and Terra is that jabbers new earphones are now ipx7 rated which means the waterproof down to one meter of water but you can't use them for swimming because your Bluetooth connection is going to cut out I tried it now this new ipx7 reading is nice to have but personally I've never really had a problem with my X threes even after they were drenched in sweat on a regular basis battery life from the x3 and x4 is also the same they both advertise an eight hour battery life I can go for three full workout sessions in between charges with the X fours but the terrorists do take a hit when it comes to battery life because these only have a six hour battery life so these can only go for two workout sessions and then don't die midway through my third but jabbers new your phone's also now feature quick charging so if you charge either these earphones on for 10 minutes from a dead battery I'm gonna get you one hour of playback time it's not huge but it is a step up from the x-rays but just like all of Jaybirds other earbuds both the x4 and tera connect to Jaybirds music app out of the box these earphones have a flat sound semester but through the app you can go in and adjust EQ to make them sound however you want and since the new EQ setting is getting uploaded directly to your buds your EQ setting will following you from device to device so if you want you can make these earbuds have just as much or even more based on power beats or you can make them have an emphasis on vocals the choice is yours and in general tapers are one of the better sounding earphones out there they have good clarity deep punchy bass and there's really anything in the highs but obviously you're not going to get audiophile of sound quality out of these earbuds but for working out they're perfectly fine and to control your music playback you have it in my controller on both of these earbuds like I said earlier the reason I like using white earbuds like these over truly Wireless here but at the gym is because you have full control over your music playback with most truly wireless earbuds you only have partial control and you have to rely on your voice assistant for the rest and I find that having to use your voice assistant isn't as accurate as fast or as easy as having a dedicated bind sometimes the only thing I don't like about jabbers controller is that you have to press and hold the plus or minus button to skip a track or go back a track I would prefer it if we could double press and triple press the start button but instead if you don't press the center button on the X fours you will redouble your last phone call and honestly since the microphone on both the X 4 is karol make you sound pretty far away I just want to take phone calls with either the except phone partially I would actually really like if we could remap them or double pressing the center button on the X for does cuz double pressing the center button on the Jay bird Terrell will instead summon your voices system and personally I prefer this over redialing my last phone call so if you need to talk to Siri or Google assistant there are just two taps away on the Jay bird Tara but overall besides some cosmetic changes and marginally better tech specs there really isn't a big difference between the J Brand X 3 and the new j-bert X 4 that's not a bad thing the X threes are just that good if you're ain't broken don't fix it if you have the X threes and if you're working just fine then there's no need to upgrade but the X fours do bring with them a slightly more comfortable fit and ipx7 reading and fast charging now if you're trying to choose between the x4 and the Tarot then yeah you're still better off going with the X fours because they have a slightly better battery life they give you more fit options and they bring that all-important carrying case but the Terra are still fine for budget-conscious people you're getting the same sound quality and the same build quality but personally I would actually like to see Jaber to incorporate the raised tactile buttons from the Tara on the X for service buttons are just much easier to tell apart and I really want to be able to remap what the settle button does on the x4 if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit that like button and get subscribed it helps out more than you realize support the channel by clicking on the
