Overview Jaybird X3 - powerful and reliable headphones for sports

Equipment

A set of useful pieces "out of the box" for a long time was not so rich: in addition to the headphones included is a bag for carrying, clothespin clothes, special clips to adjust the length of the cord, clips, ear cushions, docking station with the USB-charging, manual and perevodilki logo Jaybird.

Just complete three pairs of clamps of cartilage, the same silicone and foam "foam" ear pads with memory effect. This is not a replacement kits: each pair has its own size.

Design

Jaybird X3 have six variations of appearance, came to us in black headphones.

X3 is hardly bright, they are noticeable unless unusual mesh locks resembling fins. Housing is almost entirely made of plastic, metal inserts are found only on the control panel faces.

Ergonomics

general impression

Let's start with the fact that X3 - in-ear monitor, and they possess all the pros and cons of this type of gags. They have high frequency potential and excellent sound insulation, but at every moment when you are wearing these headphones, you feel pretty obsessive tactile sensations. Fins-catches only amplify this effect, so I really had to get used to the X3. However, the headphones work fine without them, so put on "Wings" is not always possible, but only in training.

If you like in-ear monitor, the X3 - a great option, which will be comfortable the owner of almost any ear. We just need to spend 15 minutes of testing accessories of various sizes in a set.

A little more time will take a selection of the appropriate type ear pads. With classic silicone everyone is familiar, and the "foam" Foam has its both audio and ergonomic features. With the ability to "foam" in the ear canal, they provide a more complete isolation and close contact. The difference is felt immediately.

There are two versions of the headphones fit: with a cord above and below. The first option provides for training (as they attached more securely), the second - for everyday use. In order to change the planting, pre-need to turn latches.

The length of the cord can also be customized. To do this, fold it in a certain way (in this handy guide with pictures) and secure with clips.

The use in sports

These headphones are designed to make them trained, so some of the characteristics X3 sharpened for use in the hall, at the stadium or sports ground.

When an inconspicuous weight of 17.9 g X3 firmly fixed in my ears. Spacers abut the ear cartilage, so that even the most intense movements will not make X3 fly. In order not to lose the headphones when you take them off, you can use a clothespin to T-shirts.

And yet the headphones are protected from moisture. They can not swim in, but sweat - no problem.

With the equipment and work

Operated via three buttons on the remote. Side responsible for the volume and switch tracks, the average - for pause, answers calls and pair with new devices. On the reverse side of the panel - a platform for a docking station.

X3 can store up to eight devices and work with two simultaneously. This means that the headphones can listen to music on the laptop and answer calls made to your smartphone, without making any additional action. Among the supported device - all devices with Bluetooth, including smart-watch. If you have a friend with the same headphones, the music can be shared: X3 are able to synchronize with each other.

application

We have a special MySound Jaybird app with equalizer settings, playlists in Spotify, The search function of headphones and a guide to the use of the X3 and the company's other models.

The most useful feature of the application, for which it should definitely install - EQ settings to make the sound much more expressive. In my opinion, with the standard parameters of many of the songs sound much worse than a slight adjustment of the frequency response.

You can save your preset equalizer and share them, and use different preset settings. If they are not enough, you can find dozens of others on a special tab.

Sound

Headphones have an almost complete isolation: they can not hear a sound from outside, but the outside is not heard your music. Therefore we would not recommend using them at the time of cycling workouts or running near traffic roads.

The Jaybird declare the range 20-20 000 Hz, but test portal Les Numeriques says the strong fall in the area of ​​high frequency of 12 kHz and above. Intracanal open architecture allows low frequencies: bass stock there are many, as the volume of stock. Seen a slight dip in the midrange, but it is easily compensated by the equalizer settings. Also shows that the impact on the results of the use of certain types of ear pads: foam with different frequencies volume differences smoother.

Conclusions: X3 - headphones with excellent sound, a serious reserve volume and bass. But to get the most, have little pokoldovat with an equalizer.

autonomy

Headphones work about eight hours without recharging and fully restore the charge in about two and a half hours. Excellent results for similar dimensions.

Verdict

Photos of athletes, logos American triathlon and other sports events adorn the box Jaybird X3 purpose. It's really powerful and reliable headphones with good sound, ideal for the sport.

Important in X3 - versatility and ability to adapt to any musical preferences, size and shape of ears. If you are looking for in-ear monitor, the X3 from the Jaybird, most likely you will do.
