Jaybird Bluebuds X Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds - REVIEW

2014-04-12
hey everyone this is Jimmy from Jim's review room welcome to another review today we're looking at another unique gadget segment and I always like ear buds just for the fact that they fit right in your ear canal for direct sound and they also block out sound to you from the outside world and of course the ease of portability now these in-ear monitors are from jaybird and this is their flagship model the Blu buds X which focuses on these sports oriented person now these in-ear monitors are connected wirelessly using bluetooth technology and what's unique is these blue buds are sweat proof and comes with a lifetime warranty against sweat related damages now it currently retails for one hundred and seventy dollars which is on the expensive side but Amazon at the time of this video has them for a more reasonable price of one hundred and thirty so let's see if these premium earbuds are really worth this amount of money so without further ado get started Jay Blue provides all the accessories that you'll need including this beautiful case for the company's logo on it it's also felt line comes with dark chrome accents and it's magnetically closing as well the case does well in all aspects of holding your earbuds together now it also comes with three sets of silicon tips to fit your ear canal and also three silicone wings that fits into the ball of your ear having the right fitment and size is imperative for having the best sound audio and sound isolation so I nuta lies the smallest tip and they fitted pretty well initially and they were indeed snug and comfortable the ear canal now as for the wings they're there to help stabilize and prevent it ear buds from falling out but for my personal news and testing the ear buds by themselves works better in my opinion and I did that will check and ensure accurate installations and try it on different sizes but the wings were just not working for me though now upon looking at the blue buds itself they look amazing and they're very lightweight at the same time despite having the battery pack right inside the earbud itself it doesn't weigh you down but to keep it lightweight the black exterior is all plastic even the chrome accents is painted on they don't feel super high-end you can say to reflect the price but I believe the trade-off is for how light they are not playing around with these throwing in my pocket working out with these at the gym they still held up pretty well no flaking or chipping of the paint and even though plastic there's still a very good quality build though the blue bus does come with a tangle free cord which are becoming more popular these days with an inline controller for valium up and down with a built-in mic the metal button turns on and off the unit and while holding it down this pairs your earbuds to your audio source now moving on to the earpieces performance nearly all fields are very balanced and clear overall balance is the key word with blue buds now bass response is punchy and deep at all times for pop hip-hop and rap genres it's a very satisfying response and not dominant like what you would find in beats by dre products not really well executed and doesn't drone out the mid-range vocals now vocals are distinct enough to appreciate yet they're not overly sharp which is a good thing even on high volume levels they simply did not cause the ear drum inside to be agitated now playing classical music from Yiruma river flows in you was very pleasant in every piano note again with high notes not producing an ear ringing sensation now listening to a remastered track of the Eagles Hotel California made every instrument distinct I can hear the cymbals - the snares being hit - something my nuke as a cabassa being turned the clarity and range on these are well executed EDM trance techno house music in the likes of my favorite try out cascade or black mill still sounded very good but for some reason I noticed my valium had to be turned up to about 65% to about 70% to really be enjoyed it's not an issue but something that I just noticed that's all but once the valium is up my god cascade and especially black Ville is immersive and speaking of valium these things can get very loud and usually found myself just at 50% volume throughout the day and that was enough to have a very enjoyable experience all while still droning out all the noise around me sound isolation is amazing when there's nothing in your ear now going on to this topic here I was very shocked though I had trouble keeping the earbuds in place initially they stayed in but after a while using the smallest tips and changing to position the size of the wings provided did not help in the end not using the wings worked out better for my news as stated earlier but just lifting weights with these things on occasionally they would pop out of the ear canal or at least become loose and losing some of that amazing sound quality now I did some research and to my surprise this does occur to a good handful of people testimonials from consumers on CNET and Amazon says the same thing unfortunately I'm a victim of this issue as well where the silicone tips really don't provide that suction you can say in that ear now one remedy proposed that seemed to work for most people we're buying new foam tips from comple foam calm now they're kind of expensive for some foam that is but reading people's comments they really do work now behind the logo on the right earbud is a microUSB charging port like I said this is where the batteries housed now a jaybird does provide the cable so you can charge this through your computer's USB port or what I did I'd use my phone charger to juice this thing up and Jay Berg claims eight hours of battery and through my testing keeping the volume at 50% again which was not low but still an enjoyable level I yielded seven hours of music continuously and that's what the earbuds basically around my neck the entire day or in the entire time so overall amazing sound but considering it's evidence fitment might be an issue for some consumers it might be a slight drawback so just be a little bit cautious about that but nonetheless very good earbuds so this concludes the unique gadget review of the Jaybirds blue buds X then be sure to subscribe for more of my content and like or follow me on Facebook or Google+ pages so this is Jimmy from Jim's review room as always thanks for the support I'll see you in the next bye
