Thanks for the review. Definitely want to pick up a pair! Cheers
Love your reviews man. Honestly, the fact that you're niche is in the sports and fitness tech world is so damn relatable. Btw been a long time viewer but I rarely comment 😂😂
Thanks so much Marco!
He's a discount Rizknows, which isn't necessarily bad at all- he's less likely to sell out
Great video 😙👍. Can't wait for the new Garmin FR 245 to be announced as i'm currently looking for a new sport watch to track my runs. I hope it will be priced well
Great review, just wish you had mention something about the microphone quality for calls, cause I’m looking for a single solution for sports and work
Nice review and loving the new studio setup!
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
I just ordered some. The wired Bose Soundsports are my main go to just because they fit my ears unlike anything else. The rubber on these look similar. This video did a great job at making me feel like I made the right choice. Earphones have always been really important to me
Great review, thanks! Just bought a pair, love them..
👍
Getting these for christmas this year, going to be so awesome new year of workout with these💪💪💪
Wow because this is great job! Congrats and keep it up.
Man, congrats for your channel! It would be great a Jaybird Tarah Pro vs JBL Under Armour React video!
Thanks!
New studio and headless helmet lookin’ crispy!
2:45 later and I amend my comment: Choice of audio programming is on point!
Thanks! And ya, just some random dudes talking about spin classes or something 😅
Great job, thanks for reviewing
Sure thing Brian
Got the Tarah Pro for about a month and they're the best earphones I've had. Even the Jaybird customer service is excellent got a free charger when I lost one.
Change Bose sound sport to sennheiser momento and then I returned it today and got the Tarah pro .Totally satisfying .....comfortable fit .better sound quality,great noise isolation.Now I am happy I don’t need to go back to Best Buy again..
Hey bud , Love the way you keep setting the bar higher and higher , very few are able to keep up with your reviews . My ONLY wish was that you were more into aviation Watches . The Garmin Marq aviation is very expensive , I want to know what difference , if any, there is to the Delta 2 PX . Can I bribe you to do a comparison ? If I get a petition sent around your 38k subscribers ? lol . Go well mate and all the best
Unfortunately I can’t afford the Marq, nor do I have have the expertise to speak confidently about the aviation features specifically, but maybe I’ll try to get a hold of an Athlete. Maybe 🤔😅 Thanks so much for the support!
Great video as usual! Thanks!
Thanks Eric!
I have these and can verify that these are absolutely excellent 👍🏻
I just got mines 2 days ago and they are great but every time I answer a call I can barely hear the other person!! The volume is really low. So my question is are mind defected??? Or that's just how they are when answering a call???
Marco Rivera Hi. They are defected as mine works great also in calls. I have an iPhone X that I use them with. I would return them for new oness
Ive read they arwnt that comfortable. Is that true
Don Corleone I think they are really fine. If you want the most comfy headphones you have to buy over the ear headphones but they are nit for sport. I have the Sennheiser Momentum 2, which I use at home.
@@balkee42 they are very comfortable .... I use them all day long
switch fit and that cable are game changers for me
The best thing about the TP vs x4 is the silicon pieces don’t randomly shift or fall off.
For sure
The silicone cover on the remote came off on mine and im easy on my devices. I think quality control should have spotted this.
Hi,
I previously owned a PLT Fit305, which also comes with a bairded covering instead of tangling wire. But the down side with the PLT is I can hear the noise of the cable touching my skin or shirt when I'm actually not playing any music or on a call. Does the Jaybird Tarah pro does the same kind of noise? Thank you.
I actually bought the X3's a month ago , I had 3 replacement cuz all of them had battery drain issues , I was woundering if any of you guys had similar issues . Great review though and I'm considering to grab a tarah pro , It's just I like the looks of the X3's better .
I went through three pairs of X3s, always failing within a couple months of use. Just a poor sweat resistance design I'm guessing. I finally gave up on them and exchanged the third pair for these Tarah Pros and they have been AWESOME! Can't say enough good things about them and have had them for almost a year now and they're still going strong; and I really put them through the wringer with the amount of running and biking I do with them. I'm honestly surprised they're still working perfectly for how often they're soaked in sweat 🤣
Just bought Tarah Pro, because I broke my X3s... I have them only a few days, but there are a few minor cons about the Tarah pro's I'd like to point out. First, the led light seems to be only white all the time. My old X3 when you plug them used to light red and fully charged go to green. This one is always only on white, so you kind of have to track the time. The other thing is the on/off sound is rather silent, so when you have the headphones on it is a little hard to understand when the headphones have turned off.
Jaybird is the fitbits of earbud in term of new charger connector in every new product 😂
Funny, I was almost going to mention that same correlation, but you’re right!
good review !
Thanks!
You didn't mention the lack of multipoint. It's super annoying that they claim to have it and say "it's coming in an update" these have been out for a while and there's no update in sight. I can't connect it to both my phone and watch at the same time.
How much of do the TP block out surrounding noise? When running I still want to be able to hear and I found with my other pair of Jaybirds that they eliminate most background noise. This is fine for the gym but for safety reason I want to hear traffic while I'm running.
I have both of these. The Tarah Pro’s first, and then the X4’s. Reason i got the X4’s is for the fit. I find the TP’s ok, but with the Comply tips the X4’s fit so much better.
Comply for Tarah Pro coming out soon
@@MarkTomeh i wonder how they will manage that. i know they have them for the Tarah's but the pros use a different system.
I waited for the TPs to come out and was extremely excited to use them until the charging cradle fell through the plane seats and to be forever lost. I have been waiting for 2 months already to receive a replacement with Jaybird stating that they are currently out of stock and do not know when they will have new cradles produced. My TPs are completely useless till Jaybird decides otherwise. Decided to ditch lousy Jaybird support being their customer since their very first model and waiting for the new Beats Pro.
Thanks Des. Another video watched with pleasure. Are you going to use Tarth pro daily? Kudos for heading towards 50k subscribers!
Ya, the Tarah Pros are really some of the best headphones I've ever used. Not cheap, but darn good. Thanks!
Hey! Can you swap the ear pieces from left to right, so that the remote is relocated to your left side?
Question regarding the Samsung Watch Active, i have X3s and notice a dramatic difference in sound quality when connected to the Watch Active. Like it loses the EQ saved from the app have you noticed the same?
Had them for a year-and-a-half the Tarah pros, best pair of headphones I've ever had.
Survived rain, snow, attacked by my dog, yet still worked perfectly.
Until a few days ago out of nowhere, it got the equivalent of the red ring of death.
Fast white blinking followed by two strong red flashes 😭😭
If you see that, pray your warranty is still valid.
No amount of soft, hard or factory resets will bring it back from the grave.
Hi people,
Does anyone knows about why Tarah Pro or Vista headphones are not making the Mineral Blue color anymore? For me seems like I can’t be just running out of that color. For plastic it is extremely easy to do. I think it is something else!
Thanks!!
I would like to know if the mic piece and charger area is water proof like the headphones. I have killed so many beats from sweat in that part. And am ready to upgrade to these if that's the case. Inquiring minds wanna know 😀
If u charge them at The same time as spillning water, then no. Otherwise I even showered with them completly sinked in water. No issue at all. Heck u vän even wash them if u like to
is the tarah pro or Optoma NuForce BE 4 bluetooth connectivity better ?
Do you think these would fit someone who has trouble with the X3s falling out? I’ve tried every configuration combo and with enough sweat still have trouble with them. Would love the battery on these but now that the Powerbeats Pro are on the way I’m wondering if I should wait since fit of Jaybird hasn’t been the best for me in the past.
The new earbuds are comfortable and are far more secure then the x3. I recently washed my x3 in the washer and had to purchase a new set. I bought the x4. I loved the new year buds. They were snug. I am taking them back for the tarah pro for a longer battery life.
Did they solve the big battery problem that dies after a few months of use? I have tested and lost several generations of Jaybirds...
Unlike my X3, the Tarah Pro doesn’t connect to 2 devices at the same time ( the Tarah does, though). This would have been a deal breaker for me if I had known this before my purchase. Unfortunately, my country doesn’t have the same return policies as in the US.
I noticed the runs sometimes tend to go through a playlist and randomly the left earbud doesn’t play but the right one does
Sounds like they are faulty
I have two pairs of these since I had trouble with the microphone audio. This persisted with my exchange pair as well. You're not having any troubles Des? So audio and everything is great, but now and again people complain about not hearing me or the audio quailty being bad. Bad to the point that I have to disconnect and resume the phone call with the phone... a real hazard when you're driving...
I try not to take calls in the car, but the audio is generally fine for me when taking calls in other scenarios. Jaybird is generally pretty good with their support. Hope you get that worked out.
These are good headphones however some do have charging issues and the rubber on the buttons is very delicate. Jaybird support is amazing and they actually sent me a new pair but it hasn't even been a month and the rubber is coming off on that one with extremely light use. So that's a downside.
Why doesn't the Amazon link match the Tarah Pros?
Hi there.
Is the Tarah Pro better than the new Jaybird Vista???? Thinking of changing my X4s to one of them. Thanks a lot
The Vista and Tarah Pro are both Jaybird’s top of the line headphones, one being truly wireless and the other with the wire. Sound quality they are nearly identical, the Tarah Pros will produce just slightly more volume and they will also have a longer lasting interval battery, but the Vistas are very light and are truly wireless if that’s a feature you’re looking for. Probably comes down to whether or not you want truly wireless or not.
The sound was a bit distorted with the three i tested.
With the earbuds physically rotates, I’m kinda afraid that the rotation mechanism will get loose as time goes by. What do you think?
So far it’s super solid. Been using them for a solid 4-5 months now.
What do u prefer?this or vista?
How's the BT range on these?
Have you used these with the Garmin Forerunner 945? I use Galaxy earbuds and the Bluetooth connectivity when running outside has massive cutting out when listening to music. What’s been your experience?
Yup, sure have. No issues for me.
Thanks very much! Appreciate the feedback on the question.
Hey guys I have these headphones and for some reason they won't let me take or make calls. They can hear me but I can't hear them!! Can anyone help?
Hi, So you ended up keeping the 5 Plus Ti over the Black Sapphire? I just bought the Black 5 Plus. Anything you think I am missing out on? @DesFit
It’s just slightly lighter which is what I was looking for after lugging around a 5X and 3HR before it. If I were to do it again I’d probably go with the classic black as the titanium bezel is a little loud at times. Oh, and that sun burst strap is a bit loud too!
@@DesFit Ha, Loud, yeah. Great, guess i'll be happy with the black, but thank you for showing us all how it looked with a Black strap. That looked great. Thank you man. Love the videos.
Sure thing Michael. Glad you are enjoying the content.
Tarah PRO link isn't available in the description, wanted to support by buying through provided link.
Sorry about that! Here ya go: geni.us/tarahpro Thanks!
@@DesFit thank you, I will make the purchase using link... really appreciate all of your detail review 👍
Thanks so much!!!
1:33 Everything is good. On the other hand, this cable wrap will absorb all the sweat along with dirt and bacteria and eventually start to smell bad. That would not be good for your own skin.
3:01 hahah Well, it is very convenient if you do not want to play music while running or exercising anymore, take them out together, they stick together, you do not have to push anything. This is not the case with most BT Sport headphones. And today there are hundreds, mostly Chinese, cheap BT headphones on the market. "Thanks" to the Amazon and Ebay.
1:04 Absolutely agree. But if a cable would fit all products, you would not be able to sell new cables. This might be better (even for the company) if they sell the cables separately. Do you already have one, do not need to buy one; ) But it is very likely related to technical development. Maybe they still come to a single cable for all products.
However, if the sound, battery life and stable Bluetooth connection are there, then you can certainly forego all cheap, Chinese headphones and pay a little more. But for a more qualitative product. Thanks for the presentation! From Germany.
I've had my Tarah Pros for almost a year now and run and bike with them absolutely drenching them in sweat almost every day. They don't stink or show signs of any mold or anything... 🤷🏼♂️ Maybe it's some kind of anti-microbial deal.. I don't know but they still seem perfectly fine. I do just rinse the cable under hot water every month or so too though.
The charging cable thing... Annoying yes, but I thought I lost mine so I contacted customer service to see when they would get some in since their website said "sold out", and they magically found one in the office and sent it to me free of charge and had it two days later. Then of course I found my old one so now I have two! Oh, and I love these so much, I bought a spare set new in the box in storage for future use if/when something happens to these.
Where's the Tarah Pro link??! Am I missing something?
I dont think they are being sold on amazon anymore.
FYI- no link to the Tarah Pro here. Looks like Amazon does not have them.
Ya I’m looking into that. Thanks!
What about noise cancelling/blocking foam tips for Tarah Pro?
I was wondering about that as well. With the one-piece silicone design, it seems you can't use foam tips at the same time as the silicone wings.
@@JensThestrupToft That's the only downside, so far.
@@bdmenne Would be a deal-breaker for me. I've never been able to use silicone tips. Just doesn't work in my ears.
Killer review. Seriously.
Thanks man!
The buds are notorious for being lost and falling off the x4 do these have the same problem?
DigiKunt it’s not even possible, the tip and the ear holder are one piece and very very securely held
If I cut the cups from the wings will they stay in while allowing ambient sound?
May depend on the shape of your ears? Not going to cut the cups on mine, sorry ;)
@@DesFit maybe try using x4’s without cups?
THAT GYM STATEMENT MADE ME LOL SO HARD OMG
🤙
I find that really funny
For those of you who own a pair I have e a question. Do they have a feature that tells you how much battery they have left. Thanks
Yes you can go into the jaybird app and set to show you the battery life on the screen.
Yes, when you power them on too, it says how much is left. Also, if you have an Android phone, it will display the current battery level in the notification window when they're connected.
If you have an Apple device, well... They'll "invent" that feature in 2-3 years and charge you for it. 🤣
@@bradskis81 My Apple does tell me my Tarah pro battery life on iOS 14!
You indea yes?
Please Where can I get the charger of this Jaybird headphone?
Terefe Kass you cant
@@Mrjazzzery please why? Because I already have the headphone but i lost the charger. I m in Ethiopian
I have no know idea why for more money.. maybe look on eBay! Good luck!!
in link is no tarah pro only tarah
I just got mines 2 days ago... But every time I answer a call I can barely hear the other person.. is my unit defected???? I do answer calls while working out!!! Any advice?????
Marco Rivera let me know when you have a reply mate. Cheers
Just thought I'd point out that you say "actually" a lot. Great video though 👍
be careful buying Jaybird Tarah Pro - quite expensive and my pair failed after 1 year and a half of moderate use. Very disappointing as I could've spent half the price for a non brand model and maybe they would still be working today.
That's interesting - I'm still using this same pair 2 years later. The little bit of rubber that covers the controls is peeling back but other than that they are still going strong. The battery life is still pretty decent as well. Sorry you had issues with yours!
Since you have so many watches. You should send that forerunner 645 music my way. 🤷😂😂
Marvin Brooks lmao
3:01 😬😂
😉
the x4 is a pain in the a??. brokd after a month. work charge.
Honestly, I think the battery life on x3 is good enough. If you work out one hour per day, that 8 hours battery means a week without charging.
Don't see these on Amazon
Yep I'm in the same boat. I actually ordered the regular Tarahs to get a sense of the fit and they're alright but I really prefer my Freedom 1's still. At this point I'm going to wait for a sale at Best Buy and then I'll get the pros and just return the regular Tarahs.
@@EnVoltage I went ahead and ordered them from the jaybird site, should be here in a day or two
The battery keep depleating over time. In some point from 100% to 0% within 1 hour (after using 3 month). Mine still under one year warranty and manage to get the manufacturer replaced it twice and still, same problem WTF!!!!!. overprice unreliable product..I never ever buy from Jaybird again..
These things are not durable at all. Within a few weeks they begin to fall apart.
I dont think jaybird is a good brand, i had x4 one phone stopped working after few months, there is no such brand as jaybird in the world. Jaybird skullcandy etc these are local weak brands. sony samsung etc these are real electronic brands,
Questionable comment, I have had my X3 for over 2 years with no issues at all
@@tomk8972 I went through 2 pairs of x3 buds, and both failed. The second pair lasted just over the one year warranty, and they wouldn't replace them. All sorts of connectivity problems until they finally just stopped being able to be turned on. The little red LED also stayed on, draining the battery. I would never buy this brand again. Ever. The customer service wasn't the best either.
@@Kittyburgers that's true I had faith in Jaybird products , I had 3 replacement , my last one just arrived yesterday and they all had battery drain issues , charge issues .. etc .. why the hell is Jaybird ignoring such thing , in the forms of jaybird there are tons of complains against battery issues .
