Jaybird Freedom VS Jaybird X2 - COMPARISON VIDEO

2016-05-28
hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room now many of you guys asked me to compare the j-bird x2s with the new j-bird freedoms that were just released no jumping right into this there's no fancy editing here the freedom at the time this video retails for 199 dollars while the x2s they come in at 149 dollars retail but I have seen them on sale for as low as $100 most likely because the x3s might be around the corner here but this video is really for those who currently have the x2 so maybe even the X ones in deciding if they should upgrade or not now place my links in the video description below click on my links and it'll give you the most updated prices for today but looking at both here the X 2's are clearly the bigger earphones but both actually weigh the same now the biggest difference the weight on the exterior are mainly housed in the earphones themselves while the freedom's wait here majority of that mass is in the inline controller now the other aspect the X 2's has pretty big openings for the drivers while the freedoms are a bit more manageable for those with smaller ear canals now both sets do come with the traditional silicon tips but they do feature both of them do offers comply foam ear tips to help with a better fit and for better noise isolation more my sound test a little bit later now regarding comfort the freedom is from my testing it's been the better choice I have small ear canals myself and the freedoms simply stay on that much better and easier regardless if I'm using these silicon atif foam tips on either pair now with both models you can wear them the traditional method of having them dangle from your ear and hang on the upper part of your neck or you can wear them over your ear and have the wire a bit more tense and not let the wires bounce around as much which works best for me now last and before I forget here both our sweat and water resistant and from my testing of both here in the rain or just spraying water on them they both have been holding up perfectly fine that lasts both sets do use a micro USB port to charge with the freedoms it's a bit more of a unique situation here there's a proprietary attachment that you click on to the back of the volume controller and charging it for 20 minutes will give you about an hour worth of audio per jaybird now what the freedom's jaybird is a bit unique in the situation offering a total of eight hours but it's four hours of use with the earphones by itself and with a separate attachment it works just like a power bank offering an additional four hours of use and that's where jaybird is getting up to that eight hours power claimed you can technically wear the attachment while working out and while running just keep in mind this will cause the wire to bounce around a little bit more but the attachment is super lightweight now from my experience the freedoms lasted me 5 hours and 27 minutes using the attachment I would roughly get another 5 hours of use once again now on the X 2's they're offering up to 8 hours of use from my personal testing leave the Sun at 50% volume just like the freedoms I was able to get 7 hours and 15 minutes worth of use they're not less going into the sound here which one is truly better how different are they now both are really great in my opinion and the differences aren't too drastic but they are there nonetheless testing them back-to-back the freedom sounds just ever so slightly more expansive and having just an ever so slightly deeper bass response now both earphones offers a great bass both offers great mids and vocal performance now the X 2's have very much higher vibes maybe Mac's here if you can tolerate that they have a sharper and higher high note at the top end but again both are performing very similar with each other from my experience now both earphones can get very loud for most people in the sound stage isn't much of a difference either with both offering good performance very good performance that is for sport Bluetooth earphones now the only difference and this is in favor of the newer pair the freedom's comes with the app my sound and those who are not too familiar with equalizers with the app is very intuitive and the freedom responds very well to audio tuning and you can have this more bassy if you want or have the mids even brighter the equalizer works very well the X 2's unfortunately doesn't have this feature just yet however with the new j-bert X 3s that should be coming up pretty soon that should be compatible with this particular app so in the end here if you're desiring absolute audio quality either or is really fine but if you want comfort just comparing these two sets here for the obvious choice are the freedoms if you think that for our better life isn't enough I don't want to mess around with that attachment for the extra 4 hours the x2 are the way to go if you currently only original X's or the X 2's and they've been staying on your head perfectly fine I'd say stay where you are so that's it for this versus or comparison video be sure to like and comment below let me know if you do own the X series of earphones and how do
