Review on Jaybird Freedom Wireless Headphones B01EHIQASQ by Dayna Carlson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing sound!: Headphones

These are the best headphones! With the Jaybird app, you can equalize the sound to your liking and easily switch between sound signatures. It comes with a carrying case, headphones and many accessories such as Comply Foam ear tips and rubber ear tips as well as fins for a better fit and a shirt clip. The Jaybird app also has a Find My Headphones feature that shows you the last known location on Google Maps when the headphones were connected to your phone via Bluetooth. The headphones literally never fell out and when I accidentally jumped into the pool with them in my bag they were absolutely fine! (This doesn't mean they're waterproof, so play it safe). They are sweat proof and I can easily wear them under a bike helmet. The sound is AMAZING. The equalizer in the Jaybird app makes it so much better. They also look very cool. Although they don't have active noise cancellation, very little ambient noise gets through when using foam ear tips. There are practically no disconnections during operation. The included battery clip is small but useful. The headphones themselves have a battery life of 4 hours, and the included battery clip has an additional 4 hours, allowing you to charge the headphones while wearing them and listening to music. They have a multipoint connection, which means they can connect to my computer and my phone at the same time, and if I'm listening to music on my computer and all of a sudden I get a call on my phone, the music stops and I can dial the phone on. Call in headphones. The remote control works well too. They charge fairly quickly, as does the battery clip, which charges quickly. My complaints are minor and are as follows: The charging clip is required to charge the headphones via a proprietary cable. Essentially, the clip has a micro-USB connector (the same used in many Android phones) that connects to a micro-USB cable that plugs into the wall. Then connect the 5 pins of the earbuds to the 5 pins of the charging clip. It's difficult and if you lose a tiny clip you have to buy another one and they're a bit expensive. It also means that Jaybird is the only company selling these clips. You can buy a micro USB cable anywhere, but this clip is only available on the Jaybird website (and possibly Amazon, I didn't check). Another downside is that the foam earcups broke after a month or so, but the earbuds come with 3 different sets (small, medium and large) so I just used different pairs of earbuds. For Jaybird, that's less of an issue than for Comply, which makes foam earpads. Another disadvantage is that the remote control is larger and heavier. As a result, one side of the headphones is slightly heavier and sits more freely in the ear. The final complaint is that the built-in mic makes it sound like I'm underwater when I'm on the phone, but the person on the other end always says they can hear me clearly, like I'm standing next to them. Strange. All in all great headphones!
