Really really like these with a simply mod....
By Sheldon B on Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2014
So first up for the mod....you buy these, you go buy some Comply foam ear tips, makes the needed difference to get these perfect. Now I own the JayBird bluebud X's, and they really are a nice headset (yes I have comply ear tips on them and everything else I use as well), they are super super clear sounding, just insanely so. The Jaybirds are lighter, have a longer run time per charge, are smaller and play really clear for a wireless headset, I love them. The jabra rox is heavier, more solidly built (or so it feels), bigger but with a more full sound, and a couple hours less play time. I would equate the 2 against each other like this: The JayBird's are the Dynaudio mid ranges of the world(if you have ever heard these, dang are they crystal clear), the Jabra's are the Hertz Hi-Energy mid-ranges (clear with that missing bass and mid-range frequency that makes the music more full and complete, especially with music like Rock), if you have ever heard the 2 playing side by side, you know what I mean. The Jabra's have far more bass, not overly so, but it's got a good punch and sounds sooooo good. I noticed some more break up now and then on the Jabra's vs the JayBird's, but am not sure if it was just co-incidence or my phone.... (also maybe Bluetooth 4 vs 2.1?) The buttons are "okay", not very "clicky" but once you get used to them it is no issue at all. The Jaybirds I think as far as fitment is concerned are slightly more comfortable, I think this may be due to the weight as well as the "ear wings" vs those on the Jabra's, but for the sound difference for the music I listen to, I am finding myself using the Jabra's more, and carrying the Bluebud X's as a backup in my bag. I nearly didn't purchase this item due to some reviews I read when they first got released, luckily there are a lot more reviews now that got me to take the risk of purchase, I am glad that I did. For a over all rich sounding, solid headset that I can wear for the 2 hour train ride I have each way everyday, these really do the trick, they are well sealed at high volumes, not leaking out much, if any audio at all, and that magnetic sleep function is just brilliant, what a great easy to use system that is functional and useful. I would highly recommend these and don't think you would regret this purchase. -Sheldon

Broke after 2 months of use.
By Santiago Falzone on Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2015
EDIT: After 2 months of use they broke. The right earbud stopped working completely, making the whole device useless. No kind of damage was ever made to them, it stopped working suddenly. The left earbud, the mic and the media controls still work. But the right earbud is dead, leaving un unpleasant mono sound. They are useless. Only 3 months into use and they are already on a box ready to be thrown into the garbage. And why thrown them away? what about the guarantee?...you may ask, Well I live on Argentina right now, and Jabra won’t give any kind of support here. Not even a refund, so I lost every dollar spent on this. Been a whole month exchanging emails with Jabra Support with not a single positive response, they wont help me. DO NOT BUY! Had them for a week now. Im a bit disappointed, why? They are great most of the time, but thats the issue. Sometimes they are not. Sometimes the bluethoot lags and the music that is being played freezes for like half a second. Ruining the experience, happend with calls also . This happens once or twice every few hours. Its a minor lagg on the sound stream. But it bothers. I found that this happens mostly while walking or moving fast. As if it was that the bluetooth lost conection for half a second. Another issue i found was that the rubber wings that have to be used to hold the earbuds in place, tend to detach from the device and get lost in pocketes. This is by far worst that the connection issues. I often find myself having to reassemble the wings in order to wear the headset. The wings are just to loose. The friction fit its too weak. This morning i found the right wing on the floor while the headset was ontop of a table. I dont even know how that happend. Im scared that i will lose one of them.
