everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room j-bird just released their newest pair of earbuds these are the j-bird runs and they're truly wireless earphones the Jaybirds are going for 179 dollars Etha time this video and indeed j-bird is slightly late to the game considering I have reviewed the samsung gear icon X John brought lead sports and the Apple earpods now all excellent competitors but jaybird does beat them out in price now as always being transparent with you guys j-bird didn't send these over for review my assessment was not altered in any way please watch the entire video for both pros and cons last I've placed my affiliate links in the video description below click on those links and they'll give you the most updated prices in real time I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room and I'm here to help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to another review go over the physical features these are hard plastics with a lovely matte finish around its logo with three different sized ear tips and orphans jaybird has redesigned the accessories hoping to offer a more secure fit over the last few products being released now I did have slight trouble in the past with the j-bird x2 and x3 staying in with the j-bird runs I still unfortunately had slight trouble as well but more on that later but before getting into comfort let's go over all the features and let's see what is unique now very similar to other truly wireless earphones a charging case comes included when you're not using the earbuds stow them away in the case will recharge your earphones up to two times from a dead battery and when you stow them away they automatically turn off now once you take them out they automatically turn on and the right earphone automatically goes into pairing mode you don't have to manually do it yourself which is highly convenient very handy now once you take both out and they pair with each other and you're good to go now going on runs and this is clearly subjective as everyone's ears aren't different but these Samsung Ikon X and Jarmo elite sport that I had previously reviewed stays on more secure at least from my ears it is recommended to try different fins and ear tip sizes which I have done nonetheless during testing and even during our filming as you can see here the ear buds simply fall out no moderate runs were okay or walking was perfectly fine I would pay very close attention here to make sure that these stay in your ear while running please test them out now moving on each side of the earbud there's a single button very tactile very good feedback because it's a single button at each side there isn't limits of functionality now in order to increase or decrease Bob you have to go into the app and select alternative controls but you lose Google assistance pause and play so this was possibly the biggest letdown for me that I don't have all my features readily available on the earbuds themselves while most other truly Wyler's earphones do then moving on jaybird are known for making water and sweat resistant earphones and a jaybird runs are no difference i drenched these things in water and they're still functioning perfectly fine unfortunately they're not i feeI crated but for those who have owned Jaber products before the freedoms the X 2 s and X threes let me know in the comment section below how long you've had them for and if they're still working today after getting rain or sweat on them mine are personally going strong jumping into better life no charge they last up to four hours more than the Jabra elites way more than the icon X in real world testing I know it sounds low but same with the Apple earpods same with the other competitors you definitely have enough for a workout or a run most average consumers go to the gym for about 45 minutes to an hour anyways but when you have your earbuds stowed while driving to your place driving to the gym or so they're charging I never found myself running out of batteries also I confirm the five minute charged in the case does give about one hour worth of playback testing the battery performance with off my audio products I left it on at 50% vibe from a full battery to dead that jaybird runs lasted four hours in 21 minutes to be exact quickly touching base on my other test I could not find the Bluetooth specs they might be available when this video goes up here but testing this with the Samsung si+ I was able to get 46 linear feet until the runs crackled in connection the Japan runs are available to take phone calls as well but I noticed one the person on the other line speaks it's only audible in the right ear microphone quality is very good in solid environments as my voice does come across very very clear it does pick up background noise and if you're running there is some slight wind noise being picked up as well so right before talking about audio performance after testing these for some time I realized jaybird is aiming towards sport earbuds with simplicity now you want music while running that's what you get keep in mind there runs retail for 179 dollars it does undercut many out there many competitors with the trade-off there's no heart rate tracking or no health tracking there's no onboard music storage which would have been great and although the jaybird runs provide very good passive noise isolation when wearing there are no ambient wear features as an alternative so alright folks through the moment you've been waiting for my audio test here with the jaybird products i implore you to download the jaybird my sound app these are one of the easiest tunable apps available for the jaybird earphones even extending them all the way up to see if there's any distortion there's none at its default flat setting this sounded ok but once you start tweaking them wow they sound amazing you want bass like the power of beats 3 slide it up to the max and you get it I prefer a bright mid-range punchy bass and with the tuning I'm able to achieve that now whatever some profile I'm feeling the moments I'm always impressed on how much these can change without sounding altered or pieced together you can say that some other equalizers can do now there is ever-so-slight listening fatigue at higher volumes and extended play but it's very minut lowering the vehemence midge or at least turning down the higher frequencies do help the sound stages once again very good for a pair of support here phones with a wide sense of instruments presence and spatial directional sound too now I love my Samsung icon X giving great reviews on its audio quality but the fact that I can tune these and they tune well makes the jaybird runs sound better the audio is clear crisp vocals stand out the snapping of fingers snare drums are very distinct and the drums do have authority when you have the bass up the overall every general that I throw at this and with the tuning they sounded great so in the end if you look at the price point they are not flagship they're not the most high-tech pair of truly wireless earphones which is fine but as a pair of earphones you can pick up and go and you simply just value a good music with no wires the runs I personally highly recommend I would throw some caution though about the fit once again everyone's ears are subjective so just make sure they fit for you and if I were to critique I really wish that there was some way to store music on these and I wish the earbuds didn't have limited control I was hoping for a vibe up and down and all the other features to be available so guys be sure to comment down below let me know what you think of these be sure to subscribe if you haven't already and follow me on Facebook Twitter and or Instagram you guys take care
