Premium lifestyle brand Jaybird has found that the X2, ‘the second generation of the bestselling sport headphones BlueBuds X, is proving a popular choice with reviewers and customers alike.’
Jaybird continued to add that the X2 headphones set includes three sizes of Comply Sport memory foam ear tips, previously sold as an accessory. Other improvements from the original design include: ‘upgraded ear fin ergonomics, further refinement of the sound profile, and a new line of colour options to match any style, coated in a durable soft-touch matte finish.’
The X2 headphones are billed as the smallest and most fashionable sport wireless headphones on the market.
Jaybird added that it developed its own codec for decoding the audio with an enhanced bit rate. The result is ‘crystal clear Bluetooth audio, which rivals leading wired headphones’. Jaybird calls the technology Shift Premium Bluetooth Audio, which, according to the company enables ‘X2 to lead the wireless sport category with top-shelf audio performance.’
X2’s earphone housing is designed to allow the user to wear the product under-ear, or over-ear with reduced cord length through a cord management clip system, a design that Jaybird calls X-Fit. Over-ear lifts the cord off the neck. This has reportedly been a hit with runners. The under-ear wearing style offers users a non-sports looking product for more traditional everyday use.
Jaybird also designed and tuned the product to operate using less power – resulting in 8 hours of play time.
Improved sweat protection means that all of X2’s components are ‘treated to ensure the highest standard of sweat resistance, and Jaybird backs this up with a lifetime sweat proof warranty.’
