Wireless earbuds continue to gain more popularity as time progresses. It’s not unusual to see people from all walks of life wearing them in their ears. From kids in grade school to middle-aged full-time workers, wireless earbuds are being used by thousands of people around the globe. While there are many different brands of wireless earbuds being sold today, but only one brand stands out, consistently.
Jaybird has worked extremely hard at surpassing the needs of consumers with the right product and right price. And the Jaybird Run is no exception. Their entire range of wireless earbuds are easy to use and they will surpass your expectations. The Jaybird Run is the ideal choice for anyone who would like to get away from cord-free headphones. They’re comfortable, offer exceptional sound for their size, and the reception is terrific.
Design & Build Quality
The Jaybird Run may not look the prettiest, but they are guaranteed to surpass most people’s expectations when it comes to build quality. In addition, they are comfortable, easy to use, and they offer exceptional sound. These are the things die-hard music lovers expect to get from their wireless earbuds. Pleased keep in mind that you will pay a little more money to get these unique wireless earbuds.
Wireless earbuds manufacturers are interested in making their wireless earbuds as small as possible and along comes with the sacrifice of poorer connectivity. Unlike other wireless earbuds, the Jaybird Run has an external antenna. If you look closely, you will see metal ring. This is the antenna. Past research shows that an external offers better reception. This makes a huge difference when you consider the fact that you may be have problems picking up frequency in certain areas.
The design of the earpiece makes these wireless buds special. They’re designed to provide comfort while you’re wearing them. You could wear them for several hours without realizing that their in your ears. The Jaybird Run excels in this department. These wireless earbuds have a special “fin” that fits comfortably in the upper groove of your ear. The “fin” will hold the earbuds in place. It’s pretty difficult for people to notice the fin while the earbuds are in your ear.
The Jaybird Run wireless earbuds are durable. You may accidentally drop an earbud one day. There's no need for you to worry because they are built to withstand the impact from hitting the ground.
Battery Life
The Jaybird Run comes with a large carrying case. The case extends the four-hour battery power to eight hours. This is great, but the case is too large to fit comfortably inside your pocket. However, you can drop the case into your backpack or messenger bag. With just a five-minute charge, the case can power your Run earbuds for one hour.
Ease of Use
Contrary to popular belief, it’s not difficult to program the Jaybird Run earbuds. Simply open the package, put them in your ears, and pair them with your Android or iPhone. It should take you less than two minutes to do this.
The right wireless earbud controls the connection with your mobile phone. You can wear the right wireless earbud alone, but you may prefer to wear both earbuds at the same time. Wearing both earbuds at the same time will help you tune out the noise while your are around a noisy crowd.
The left earbud connects with the right earbud over Bluetooth when it’s turned on. The sound will flow without any interruption. You may want to consider wearing both earbuds if you want the full effect. Wearing one earbud will compress the sound.
You don't have tons of options at your disposal to control the Jaybird Run. There is only one button on each earbud. Press the button for several seconds to turn the earbud on and off. Double-clicking the button moves you to the next song or track.
The buttons are easy to find, but they are rigid. They are difficult to press. In some cases, users felt a slight discomfort while pressing the buttons because they were pushing the earbuds into their ears. This is something you should keep in mind.
