Jaybird Vista True Wireless Bluetooth Headphones with Charging Case - IPX7 Waterproof and Sweatproof Earphones, 16 Hour Playtime Siri Enabled In-Ear Earbuds for Sport, Running, Fitness, Gym - Black

Product Information

There’s no shortfall in stereo imaging either; the initial drum-fill moves just as decisively from our left ear into both – there’s just a fraction of extra detail to be dug up from the Cambridge Audios. Verdict Charging case size: Vista 2’s charging case is relatively large, which may be inconvenient for some users. Jaybird may consider downsizing the charging case or offering different size options in Vista 3. The downsides? There’s always one, right? This time, it’s that there’s no active noise cancellation. Still, the secure fit of the buds offers a decent level of sound isolation, so it’s not all bad. Jaybird Vista revew: Workout performance You won’t find some noise-cancelling or ambient sound features here, like the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless, which uses external microphones to play outside noise inside the drivers, keeping you more in tune to your surroundings. We’re told that Jaybird wouldn’t have been able to keep the dimensions down if it included these kinds of features, which holds true when we consider the bulkier earbuds of those other models. Our verdict All Garmin watches with music support work the same way in this manner, and this then lets me listen to music without a phone nearby. So in my case, that was primarily Spotify:

The last thing you want when running or adventuring in the mountains is to be worrying about the durability of a pair of expensive, and small earbuds, but this is where Jaybird really stands out from the crowd. An area where the Jaybird Vista 2 buds really excel is workout performance. The new features and the even more impressive IP rating make the Vista 2 not only sound clearer in loud environments but also more resilient, no matter how sweaty/hard your workout is. If you’re tired of feeling your earphones slowly falling out of your ears when out running, the Vistas are a great solution. The sound isn’t quite the best that money can buy at this price, but the fit is among the best we've tested. Active Noise Canceling (ANC) is new to Vista 2, and I’m so happy to see this feature finally arrive because having noise canceling earbuds really improves the sound quality and immerses you in your music.

How do you connect the Jaybird Vista to your phone?

Sound quality is further improved and customized by using Jaybird’s in-app equalizer. More on the Jaybird App below. Jaybird almost completely overhauled the Vista the second time around, making it even more durable than before. In fact, the Jaybird Vista 2 are the most resilient true wireless sports headphones on the market with their IP68 rating (the Vista was 'only' IPX7). Read more about it here: what are the best waterproof headphones for running? We didn’t get the opportunity to battle particularly windy conditions as we were hit with a mini heatwave during our tests, but any help to keep the wind at bay without compromising the bud design can only be a good thing in our book. Sound quality isn't the most important thing for me when working out with wireless earbuds — it's all about how loud they can get. I need wireless earbuds to pump me up and motivate me to run that extra mile. And the Jaybird Vista 2 are the clear winner here. The app makes it easy to see battery status but it's 8 hours from the earbuds (or 6 with ANC or SurroundSense mode) + two additional charges from the case (Image credit: Josh Ross)

With IP68 durability, there’s no need to worry about getting caught in a storm, accidentally washing an earbud with your sports gear, or even standing on one. This kind of peace of mind is priceless when you like to run in harsh environments or even running on the hard tarmac for extended periods of time – a drop will not be the end of your earbud. If you take the app route to setting up, you’ll have access to some additional features you may want to have a play around with. The Jaybird app is available on Android and iOS and it’ll prompt you to connect the buds before letting you into the app. Inside you’ll find battery status for each bud and the case. The Jaybird Vista 2 aren't tiny but comparatively smaller than earhook-style headphones such as the Beats Powerbeats Pro. They weigh a mere 6 grams (or 0.2 oz, per bud). In terms of design, the Vista 2 looks and feels very similar to its predecessor, with the main difference being the material covering the buds: the Vista 2 sports a fabric-like, textured cover instead of the Vista's full-plastic design. They aim to differentiate themselves from key rivals, including the Apple AirPods (2019), Samsung Galaxy Budsand the Powerbeats Pro by offering buyers an unashamedly fitness focused design and wealth of custom features that marathon runners and gym goers will love.

Are high-tech headphones better with low-tech sound isolation?

Touch Response Functions: Control music, ANC control (on, off, SurroundSense mode), Receive / end calls, Volume up and down Better Microphone quality – 4 Beamforming microphones on the Vista 2 combined with wind-proof guard material allows for better audio quality than the original Vista The Vista 2 offer noise cancellation along with Jaybird's SurroundSense – this is an ambient aware mode that lets in some outside sound to keep you aware of your surroundings. Thanks to the physical controls rather than touch panels, they're easy to use while exercising, and total battery life stands at a very respectable 24 hours.
