Jaybird X4 Sport Earphones - REVIEW

2018-11-11
hey everyone Jimmy with gems review room every year I test their new models and they've been great on audio but that you need to design on their ear fins and ear tips we're never the best compared to the competition I think the new x-force finally at the years of testing has fixed it now these are personally bought for the retail price on $129 retail for updated prices in real time use my affiliate links that an app good in description below you'd never know when these things might go on sale all right folks I'm Jimmy with Jim's review room I'm here to help you make that purchase decision welcome everyone to another video going over the physical stuff first you get four sets of ear tips medium and large for both silicon and the comply foam ear tips three sets of ear wings proprietary charging dongle make sure you don't lose that shirt clip and the protective carrying case if you decide to use it now I personally store the charging cable in fake carrying case and then throw my earphones into my back now everything once again feels quality built here the air phones are plastic that's organ Amish the court is tangle free and from daily use of tossing this into my bag it untangles every time the court itself is also very grippy with that rubber texture now what the last several generations more specifically the x3s J proclaimed they were water and sweat proof even offering at one point a lifetime warranty against said damages I don't know when they did away with this but after speaking with a rep from j-bird they confirmed it's now only a one-year warranty sucks to have lost peace of mind but the new exports are now ipx7 certified with that seven certification and usually means these products are able to be submerged into water they're reading the instruction manual from j-bird the exports are designed to handle rain mud and it says outdoor adventures they're not designed for swimming showering or exposure to the pool or ocean water so just want to clear that up for you I saw some reviews saying that you can wear this is swimming what the hell no I still inch the hell out of these things though but it's still working fine today now taking a closer look there are no buttons on the earphones themselves but everything is housed in this controller here pause play skipping and going back on songs adjusting fountain and answering phone calls are all done on here the biggest concern while running though does this slap you across the face thankfully it doesn't the controller is far enough back and this is also new in the exports the new speed adjustment tab on the back is a godsend why didn't you think of this years ago here it works amazing by making the cable taut this prevents a lot of that wire from bouncing around on the back of your neck and also in turns keep the controller from bouncing around as well but this is a perfect Segway into comfort here I don't pay to wear it over the ears anymore as wearing it under the ears as I'm doing in the video the earphone stays on much better than before I contribute this more so to the new ear tips shaking my head and looking like a weirdo in the park here you can see they stay in my ears no matter what they fit snug in the ear canal they provide excellent passive noise isolation so it does block out the world and I was the most important of all they don't hurt sound leaking was confirmed from my test to be very minimal even at high volumes and something you might miss while running there isn't much wire chatter from the wire rubbing against your clothing or possibly bouncing and there's also minimal amounts of wood noise when running depending on how loud you have your music that shouldn't be an issue now such an based on battery tests jaybird is climbing up to eight hours of use same as last year's model I was able to get eight hours and three minutes to be precise from a faux battery to dead at 50% volume keep in mind the X scores also have fast charging per Jaybirds rep again they advised 10 minutes equals one hour worth of playback total recharge time is at a reasonable two and a half hours from dead to full now as for Bluetooth jaybird said that their Bluetooth is rated at 4.1 that's the version number I would have preferred to at least have seen bluetooth 4.2 with Bluetooth 5 being the best in not only distance for audio transmission but also power efficiency with my testing leaving my phone on one side of the hallway and walking all the way down here I was able to get 66 linear feet of distance before the audio started to skip and it's cut a little short since most very good performing brands are averaging around 70 to 80 linear feet to be fair 50 to 60 feet might be enough for most people so folks let's get into the audio assessment how do they sound first the x4 is armed loud listening at around 60% for casual listening to 70% one I hear that song to get me going that is the x-force just like the X threes and even the freedoms they have that in your face very much on live sound experience and I love the type of bass that this thing offers it's a very punchy just deep enough for your listening experience with zero distortion the Jaybirds has that bass boosted sound signature that I personally love perfect for EDM pop and is just basically enough to make basic hip-hop songs very much enjoyable I love the amount of depth the j birds have not only does it hit quite deep compared to many of the other competitors in his price range but the audio separation from low to the mid-range is quite impressive you can experience bass but then vocals instruments and such sounded higher almost like it has vertical height the mid-range is distinguished with detail and fidelity but for me I like mine slightly more forward and bright as I noticed the upper mid-range and into the high frequencies needed a little bit more boost even at times towards the upper ranges it sounded a little jumbled for some reason that's where the app comes in clutch the app experience and J part is is one of the best here very easy to use very streamlined in the earphones themselves are reasonably responsive to the adjustments you can pull different areas all the way up and the ear films don't blow out you might not like the deep bass but I'm just showing this as an example now with my tweaks of slightly bumping up that upper mid-range to higher frequencies these earphones sounded amazing overall the x4 and honestly the jaybird sound signature I love them and considering the exports are $130 they fit better now the slack reducing tab on the back is much better than the last generation the x-force I met our highly recommended finally and I mean finally after years of reviewing their products I feel they hit the nail on the head in practically every aspect as Rudy we'll see how long those lasts but if you're watching this let me know how yours are holding up and that's really about it I can't recommend these enough alright folks follow me on Facebook and or Instagram again those links are down in that video description below you guys take care I'll catch you guys on the next one bye
