Powerbeats 3 Vs Jaybird X4 - The Best Wireless Earbuds For Working Out Compared

2018-09-28
like I've said in recent videos even though truly wireless earbuds are all the rage these days besides ear pods I still prefer to use wire to earbuds too like these for working out at a gym cuz they usually have a longer battery life their Bluetooth connection is much more stable and you still have full control over your music playback because of the inline controller and today I'm going to be comparing my top two favorite sports wireless earbuds for working out we have the brand new j-bert x4 and my personal daily drivers the power beats 3 besides some minor cosmetic and tax pack changes the new j-bert x4 aren't all that different from the previous cheaper x3 and that's not a bad thing if it ain't broken don't fix it and just like the x-rays before it the new j-bert x4 currently retail for one $29.99 now I know this vs. video might seem a little unfair cuz the power B's 3 retail for $200 but since the power piece 3 routinely go on sale on Amazon for less than $140 and I sold directly from Amazon I think it even things out now if you want to pick you these your phone's up I'll have links or description below and if you use the links really upsets channel I highly suggest you check them out because these earphones routinely go on sale and also check out my show it down below the biggest and most important difference between these 2 earphones is going to be the way you wear them personally I really like the power beats 3 cuz of their ear hooks once you put them in they're staying there throughout your whole workout you could be sprinting or dismounting from a pull-up bar or whatever and the power base 3 ain't going anywhere but you can only wear the power base 3 one way whereas the J Brand X 4 gives you multiple wearing options instead of your hooks the x-force have your fins and even though they do do a very good job of keeping the X 4 in place they're not as secure as having your hooks that wrap around your ear but you can also wear the X 4 is in there over your style for an even more secure fit and since the X 4 is also come included with compliant ear tips you can use these zero tips if you want a more snug fit that will also offer more passive noise isolation than the silicon ear tips that come included with both the X fours and power beats 3 the power peas 3 have a one-size-fits-all solution whereas the J Brand X 4 or all about options you can customize them until you get perfect fit and since they're so low profile they're also a good option for people who might want to wear them with headgear one of these earphones also have flat soft touch tangle free cables connecting the ear buds to one another and like I mentioned earlier one of the reasons I still prefer to use wire ear buds like these at the gym instead of truly wireless earbuds is because of their inline controller with truly wireless earbuds you usually only have partial control over your media playback and you have to rely on your voices system for the rest it's kind of like how some people refuse to give up on the headphone jack on phones well I don't want to give up on the mi controller on earbuds and having this inline controller means you don't have to test your phone as much at the gym and you don't have to ask your voice assistant to do simple things like adjust a volume or skip a track and both of these earphones have very easy-to-use controllers with very clicky buttons personally the only thing I don't like about the x4 is is that you have to press and hold the plus or minus button to skip a track or go back a track but I would rather have an inline controller than having to shut on my voice assistant when I'm out of breath in a noisy gym to skip through my tracks or just adjust my volume now when it comes to battery life things are also very different between these two your phone's the power beats 3 haven't advertised by a life of 12 hours and for me I can usually go about four to five workouts in between charges with the power of beats 3 whereas the x4 is have an advertised battery life of 8 hours and these are good for a 3 full workout now one of these your phones also feature quick charging the power beats 3 will get you one full hour of playback time from just five minutes of charging from a dead battery whereas the x4 is will get you to the same one hour of playback time or from a 10 minute charge and the way you charge these earphones is also very different sense the power piece 3 choice via on mic USB port you can use any microUSB cable you have lying around but I still wish Apple decided to use a lightning port instead so I can charge these earphones and my iPhone with the same cable but unfortunately the J products for is charged via a proprietary charging cradle on one hand it allows the X force to be very low-profile but it also means you have one more cable to keep track of now when it comes to cell quality beats have always had this reputation of having lots and lots of bass and that's no different the power of history but even though the power of these three have a lot of the maids are still present and the highs of a crash and for working out the power B stories sound just fine the J products fours also sound very good for sports wireless earbuds but since they connect to jeepers job you can adjust the EQ and make them sound however you want so you can tailor the J Brand X for so they send the best for the type of music you listen to sense I listen to a lot of rap hip-hop in idiom I do like a lot of bass in my music but if you listen a country then you might want to have a little more emphasis on the mids and with the J birds you can do that now with the power beats 3 yeah you can go into iphone sound setting and pick from a few EQ presets but you don't have as much freedom as you would with tapered zap now one thing the power beats 3 has that the X force don't is apples w1 chip obviously the power of these three will work with non Apple devices just fine but if you have multiple Apple devices then switching between them with the power base 3 is seamless now I know the majority of people watching this already know this but apples w1 chip also means the power base 3 have almost no lanes say between audio and video when watching YouTube videos on your iPhone and the power base 3 also have a slightly longer range than the jaybird X 4 whereas DX 4s do have a little bit of latency when watching videos and their wireless connection won't go through as many walls as the power base 3 now like I said at the beginning of this video the power piece 3 and J bar X 4 on my top two favorite sports wireless earbuds for working out and I feel that he can't go wrong with either of them but objectively the power beats 3 are still a little better than the J Brand X 4 cuz if their wraparound ear hooks and slightly longer battery life but I wouldn't pay $200 for them I would only grab them if they're on sale which they usually are on Amazon but if you want a more low-profile design or if you just want to save a few bucks then the J bar x4 are also a good option I've never had a problem with the previous J bar x3 and I expect the same from the new x-force and for the time being I'm still going to be using white earbuds like these for working out instead of truly where on this earbuds I don't think that having to pay a premium and having to compromise on battery life media controls and connection stability is worth not having a wire connecting to ear buds except for ear buds that's a different story if you made it this far I guess you enjoyed the video so hit that like button and guess scribe helps up more than you realize support to channel by clicking on the links down below and I'll catch you next time
