I don't usually recommend a product as wholeheartedly as I did with the j-bird bluebloods X so while I was actually disappointed with the follow-up model the jaybird x2 maybe it's because I went in with the wrong expectations freshbooks is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get organized save time and get paid faster click in the link in the video description to learn more so it started with the package the earphones are well presented in the accessory package includes the earphones themselves a short charging cable wire management clips and I'll explain these better later a few different sizes of their ear fins that keep the earphone in place in your ear a few different sizes of both standard and comply foam ear tips a very nice touch for improved comfort and fit if you don't mind regularly purchasing replacements and a carrying case that annoyed me more than it probably should have but who the hell was the person at j-bird who thought that this you know press down just hard enough but don't press too hard derp tastic linn thing improved in any way the magnetic clamshell that came with the bluebloods X I wish I'd been in that meeting so I could personally explain that the square wheel is not an invention anyone needs and sometimes it's fine to just stick with what we know works and while I was sitting there being annoyed by that I observed also that unlike the previous version the X 2 lacks any included documentation relying instead on a link to their site where you can do it online and while I'm all for environmental preservation a really basic Quick Start Guide press the button for this long to enter pairing mode could have saved me a couple minutes of powering on only to then power it back down again until I realized that you just need to hold it for longer when first powering it on to enter pairing mode and that instruction would have fit on a single piece of paper just as well as a link to the site anyway but with that out of the way it's time to talk about wearing them user reviews online seem to indicate that the X 2's fit better or even much better than the bluebloods X for me there was no noticeable difference and frankly I wonder if that was just first time users having their eyes opened to the joys of comply tips which for the uninitiated can be rolled up before being inserted into the ear canal where they expand for a nice snug fit because the X 2's are physically like even down to their weight as far as I can tell exactly the same thing okay then Linus how about performance battery life very similar to last gen jaybird claims eight hours or more is doable with users online backing this up for me they use them for an hour or two per week and throw them in your gym bag between sessions use case yield at about six and a half hours of music time which I am more than happy with remember that batteries discharged themselves while they're in storage on the subject of sound quality again I would have to say they're very similar user accounts vary across the internet but from my side-by-side listening the most noticeable difference was that the x2s pack a bit more punch in the low end not in an unpleasant muddy way and unless you're listening to them side by side you're probably not going to pick up on any of that anyway so then what the hell did they change frankly not much while I'd love to say that you know it features innovations like the case has a battery bank in it and then the headphones charge wirelessly inside are like they're noticeably lighter or the general voice assistant has been significantly amped up or the call quality it does have microphone by the way is is is way better or or they finally fix that one freaking thing that really bugged me on the original the way that you couldn't reverse the stereo channels when you're wearing them in the alternate over the ear mode which by the way is what those little cable management clips are for although usually I'm lazy and just tie them in a knot which I guess leads us to the conclusion where I have to ask what exactly was the point of this product and the only conclusion I can draw is that it was an inexpensive marketing campaign for their expanded color range yes it's available in more colors and some other really small tweaks that could have been rolled out silently because if they'd approached someone like me or Marcus asking us to make a new video review of the new jaybird earphones that you know our colors we'd have probably told them to go take a hike but if they tell us hey it's a completely new product it's the x2 well here we are people are reira viewing the same product but the good news here at least the take away from me is that anyone who wants great wireless earphones should be thankful for the jaybird x2 because it means the blue buds X is cheaper now that it sits under this one in the product stack speaking of things that are affordable we've got a new sponsor today eToro and pay
