Jaybird X2 vs BOSE SoundSport Wireless - VERSUS VIDEO

2016-07-11
hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room several guys in the very few females I have on my channel here requested that I compare these two sport earphones they both sound sport Wireless that I just reviewed at 150 dollars and the j-bird x2s which retails for 150 as well however I have seen the much cheaper recently on Amazon as always I'll place my links in the video description below click on those links there and it will give you the most updated prices for today if you do decide to purchase that will of course support the channel so without further ado guys welcome to my vs. video looks are subjective so I'll let you guys be the judge on this but I do admit though the boast does stick out the ears a bit here as they are slightly bigger in size now both sport earphones are water and sweat resistant and with my testing on both they work perfectly fine after wearing them in the rain and spraying water on them back at the studio now j-bird offers a huge assortment of accessories both the traditional silicone type and the memory foam ear tips the x2s comes with individual wingtips as well that goes into the bowl of the ear while looking at bows here they went with a simple one-piece design in small medium and large now with these sound sports you do wear it dangling on the back of your neck with a small clip on the bottom to prevent the wire from bouncing and with jaybird the same position is possible but you can also wear this over the ears with the supplied cable tension clips now regarding comfort and which earphones provides the best in ear stability the Jaybirds and Bose honestly gave the same performance not perfect but the sound sports ear tips would sit in ear very well but the ear wings would pop out over time with the Jaybirds wearing them over ear provided similar performance the best performance compared to the over the next situation there but the over ear method was the best and the ear tip did stay in ear very well but over time during vigorous movements and workouts I can feel the ear tips start to loosen a bit and you'd have to kind of push it back in again everyone's ears are subjective but both of your phones are still very much worth a try now as for everyday use Jaybirds supplied case was not easy as the traditional zipper case that Bose provides but Bose on the other hand and it's inline bottom controller didn't feel as easy to use as the Jaipur x2s the buttons on these sounds fourth were extra firm and would Wiggles from side to side at times as I stayed in the review it's not a deal-breaker but for comparison purposes that Jaybirds inline controller was much easier to use both provided a tangle free experience and both felt to be built with quality in mind now as for features the sound sports do have the upper hand here as it does offer NFC for easy pairing just tap your NFC enabled phone with the inline controller and it pairs right away also both does include an app to help manage paired devices and check battery levels but being upfront here the app is really sparse with no equalizer or any kind of sound profiles that you can adjust to change the sound characteristics now answer to Jaybirds the x2s doesn't come with any app at all for four customization and this is something that's totally separate here but once the X 3s are released pretty soon here they'll utilize the same app we've seen Annie j-bird freedom review that'd be very interesting now as for a better life the X 2's are claiming up to eight hours of use and with my testing I personally achieved 7 hours and 15 minutes as really sounds sports they're claiming up to 6 hours but real-world use I got 7 hours and 4 minutes out of them and both earphones were tested around 50% volume so with everything sent so far being as fair as possible here there's indeed pros and cons of each but what about the sound characteristics these two are very different Jay provides that bass boosting signature very immersive for those who are into EDM hip-hop and select pop music that's heavily beat focused the bass on the X 2's does slightly creep into the mid-range and comparing to the vocals on these sound sports bose sounds slightly clearer and more natural as for based on the both earphones it's a nice clean fast and punchy sound signature and it works great for all genres but it won't be satisfying for those who are bass heads the Bose shines in rock classical genres and still performs very well in pop music where instruments and vocals are more dominant the Bose does provide a more accurate sound signature and that's very common among BOCES audio products that I've tested and on the other hand Jaber to me has provided a characteristic that's more immersive for today's modern synthesized and digital music the biggest difference that I've noticed between the two though j-bert does provide a very open soundstage compared to the sound sports in my opinion offering very distinct left and right audio channels but also sound that's coming from above and below you and in front to behind you the soundstage is quite impeccable since many support earphones don't have a easy time giving you that kind of an experience that lasts the Jaybirds do sound louder but if you do listen to the X 2's at higher volume listening fatigue kicks in much earlier then they both sound sports so in the end here it's really a matter of preference regarding sound signature but if I really had to compare it's more on the physical side of things and how they fit and feel to you so I hope this comparison or vs. video
