Jaybird, a specialist in sport headphones for runners, has rolled out its Jaybird X4 Wireless Sport Headphones – billed as ‘the next evolution of the award-winning X-series designed for the all-around runner and outdoor athlete’. Not only sweat proof but now also waterproof with a more comfortable fit, custom sound and eight hours of battery life, these headphones are targeted at a diverse range of sporting applications.
“From trail runs and mountain bike rides to summit scrambles and deep powder days, our passion for the outdoors drives our innovation,” said Jamie Parker, CEO of Jaybird. “The new Jaybird X4 embodies that spirit of versatility – it’s comfortable, rugged and fully waterproof to tackle any run, ride or trail in any condition.”
With its rugged build, X4 is designed for people who are on the move: runners, bikers, hikers and anyone in between. In addition to being sweatproof, the IPX7 waterproof rating means that X4 can handle inclement weather from rain, snow or even accidental submersion down to one metre for up to 30 minutes.
The buds provide improved comfort and ergonomics, with new silicon fins and ultra-soft silicon tips in several different sizes to fit almost everyone. They also come with the new exclusive-to-Jaybird Comply Ultra foam tips, featuring unique thermo-reactive foam that conforms to users’ ear canals for a secure fit. The new Speed Cinch cord management system also allows users to adjust the length of the cable to allow for the desired under- or over-ear fit.
With eight hours of playtime per charge, X4 can crank out tunes during a long run or workout. In addition, ten minutes of charging will give one hour of play.
With the Jaybird app, users can customize Jaybird’s premium sound. The ultra slim and light weight controller allows for simplified control to help stay focused on surroundings without distraction. With the omnidirectional mic, ‘voice will be heard clearly in any environment allowing you to manage calls and voice assistants seamlessly’.
Jaybird X4 Wireless Sport Headphones are available for pre-order at jaybirdsport.com from August 30, 2018 and in stores and online globally in September 2018 for a suggested retail price of US$129.99. The wireless headphones will be available in three colour combinations: Black Metallic/Flash, Alpha Metallic/Jade.
