I just bought these last week for my workouts. They truly are great in every respect as workout buds, when it comes to size ,fit, sound, ip rating and case. I love my pair, thanks for your review.
I got to your channel with the first model of these headphones. Thanks to you I made a great decision buying them. Got really excited and nostalgic when I saw this video! Keep it up!:)
Great review! Very helpful. I’ve been using Bose Soundsport Free buds for the last 4 years and they’ve pretty much given up now. They sound great and are very comfortable over long runs. The main drawbacks were mild wind noise and being practically unusable for calls. Whilst not essential, I’d like to address these issues with whatever I replace them with and am considering replacing them with the Vista 2s or either of the new Bose buds. One of the things I enjoyed with the Soundsport Frees was the combination of good sound quality as well as a decent amount of situational awareness. I run and cycle a lot so being able to hear what’s going on around me is important. I’m not too bothered by ANC but if the buds have it, I’d be looking for good audio pass through so the concern with the Jaybirds is the wind noise amplification that’s been well reported. I know the passive isolation on the Jaybirds with ANC switched off isn’t great and the same is said of the Bose Sport buds but what does that mean in real terms? Could you listen to music and still be able to have a conversation with someone for example? For me, and likely others, poor passive isolation may actually prove to be an attractive feature. Given my priorities, which would be your recommendation out of the Jaybird Vista 2s, Bose Sport buds and the Bose QCs?
@@Soulflytribe04 I ended up getting the Bose Sport buds. They are pretty decent with some caveats. Sound quality is excellent. You still get a good amount of passive ambient pass through with them which means you get good situational awareness and can have a conversation with them in without sacrificing sound quality. Perfect for running/cycling. There is still some wind noise but because they don’t stick out as much as the Soundsport Free buds it’s not as bad. Call quality has improved but still not great for people at the other end if you’re anywhere that has 10+mph wind. There seems to be an issue with the right earbud connecting first time which appears to be a problem relating to the in ear detection. Turn that function off and it connects flawlessly. On the whole I’ve been pleased with the Bose buds despite the flaws.
@@Soulflytribe04 I get that. That was a concern for me too and truth be told the touch controls aren’t amazing though have improved with firmware updates. Only function missing now is the skip back function from the Frees. Or, I should say, you have the option of double tapping the left bud for skip forward or skip back. The physical controls from the Frees worked better. Whilst I never had any gripes about the sound quality of the Soundsport Frees, there is actually a notable improvement with the Sport buds.
@@andybarron5840 You can actually control the volume easily with the apple watch or another watch like that, the problem is that in some dangerous areas it's not that smart to flash those watches, so there's that. And they removed the physical buttons because they would dry and fall, just like this: ( type "Soundsport Free rubber button fallen" on google to see, as I'm not being able to post links here.) Thus, if anyone reading this has one soundsport free, keep it moist with one of those leather/car rubber products to avoid that.
After watching tons of review on Jaybirds Vista 2, yours is very detailed and accurate with data specs clearly laid out coupled with real world testing. In reality, it is impossible to put a check mark on everything so compromises have to be made. The Sony XM4s might be the king of ANC and probably sound quality but gym rats will prefer the Vista 2 for their specific application.
Never has the name Vista been used in such a positive context (Windows Vista generally does not evoke positive emotions in most people lol). Also i see you changed the channel name. Much better fit (pun intended).
The name has been bugging me (and some others) for a while. When I started this whole youtube thing it was just a side project without me having a clue about what I wanted out of it. But now it's quite clear to me where the channel is headed hence the change in name. Hope it sticks 😁
Just randomly saw your channel and watch your review of the JBL Reflect Mini you do a great job I'm subscribing I hope you have continued success. Thank you much appreciated. 🤔👏👍
Gr8 review as always. In terms of sound quality is it worth it to get the vista 2 instead of the earfun free pro? Or the sony u showed in the video? Thanx
Not sure if it's worth it to you, but I like to get the best sound possible in all scenarios. And the Vista 2 will definitely last much longer than the Free Pro
After many positive reviews raving about the Vista 2s, I picked up a set. After hours of trying to get them connected and updated, constantly losing connection and getting errors, the left one finally ran out of power and wouldnt recharge. I returned them. Looking at Amazon reviews, seems this is rather common. Jaybird needs to get their quality assurance up.
Ah, András. Pretty cool. Same great standards met, of course, amd nailed it as always. Love the new name, though. You DO have an advanced degree in marketing! More power (and good health) to you! R.
@@AndysTechTone... and, I might be wrong, but I do recall a hint of a change or two beyond a name, and if so, I think I know where to go for some really well-thought out future tech widget advice! Thought of you this week and that damn membrane. I know. It must be a bitch for a superhero like you, but it'll be OK. I'm sure. By the time you land in Hungary,, you'll be running hills in Buda like no tommorow! You too. Have a terrific day in N.I.. R
Running in the hills would indeed be nice but I really can't wait to swim in Lake Balaton either. And there are a few scans and tests I want to get done while in Hungary, so it's going to be a busy few weeks...
@@AndysTechTone lol. Well. I've been in those hills, and, no. They aren't friggin' fun! Hey. Look forward to chatting over the summer. Take care of yourself. It's been a pleasure. Really!
Great review. I just got them and i really like the Vista. One question did you get a noticeable soundshift while using the ANC? My is so strong that the ANC gets almost unusable.
@@AndysTechTone thanks a lot. Maybe i have a faulty pair, because i also had connection issues. I will watch this, otherwise i will return them and ask for a new pair.
How would you compare these Vista 2s to, say, the Klipsch T5 II or its sport version in things like audio quality and passive and active noise cancellation? I’m in the process of picking out a new earbuds and these two have made their way into my final 3 contestants. Your reviews have been extremely helpful before and I trust your thoughts
I had some issues with the Klipsch in terms of fit, so I'd pick the Vista no matter what. As for the rest, I cannot really compare the two buds properly as I don't have the T5 II anymore. What I remember though is that the Klipsch had better passive isolation but it doesn't have ANC at all only transparency mode. I prefer the Jaybird sound as the Klipsch can get a bit too excited in the top end for my taste but both apps have EQ.
I wish Bose had something small, like this, not so bulky. I want this Jaybird shape, but with Bose sound and unparalleled customer service. Once I came to their store in a different country with the speaker I burned with another charger, and they just took it from me, without box or even the charger, and gave me a brand-new speaker from the shelf. They apologized that they didn't have my older model anymore and gave me the latest model of my speaker. All this for free, no documents to fill and no questions asked. I was immensely impressed. Huge high five here to guys from Bose store in Hamburg. Also, I love Bose sound. Why do they need to be so bulky? 😥 Maybe one day some company combines Jaybird shape with Bose sound...I'll wait till then.
I used to own the Jaybird X3 and loved them. How do these compare in terms of sound quality ? Do they get loud enough ? One thing that is keeping me from buying these headphones is the fact that they do not make Comply Foam tips for them. I used them on the X3’s and they really made a difference.
I don't know how these compare to the X3 as I've never used the X3. But the Vista 2 are loud enough for my taste for sure and I don't miss the foam tip option either as they fit perfectly in my ears. On the Sony WF-1000XM4 the Comply Foam tips made a huge difference though so I know what you mean.
I wish I had a way of obtaining these, but they are not available anywhere in my country. I bought the Jaybird Vistas while I was in America about 3 years ago, and I have absolutely adored them. Unfortunately the left earbud has completely died and now I am forced to purchase an alternative, none of which seem to come even close to the Vistas. The Sony WF-SP800N look interesting but I am very turned off by their large profile, and I'm afraid the comfort level compared to what I'm used to with the Vistas is going to be a difficult hurdle to cross. The JBL reflect Mini's seem to come closest, but you've stated in that review that you would choose the SP800N's over the reflect minis in a heartbeat haha. It's a difficult decision.
How about the new Jabra 7 Active? Haven't tested them yet but I will as soon as I can get my hands on a pair. Or the Bose Sport Earbuds? They don't do much in terms of features but they are still one of the most comfortable and best sounding sport buds I've used. Of course if you can find a good deal on the SP800 they are great too!
I have Sony headphones that are fantastic in sound quality, but not very secure in my ears. Looking for secure headphones, I was pointed to these. The first ones I got had 2 issues: one that the left set had lower volume than the right one, and two that the left one made unwanted noise at times. I returned those and got replacements. These also had two issues: one that the sound quality was noticeably worse than the first set, and two that it was next to impossible to have a phone conversation while riding a bike. The wind noise was incredibly bad. So, I returned them as well. I’m still looking for secure headphones that also have good sound quality.
Great review man. I'm really interested in the Vista 2 & thinking about picking them up. I mainly care about Sound quality with good bass & volume with a decent IP rating so I might just grab the original Vistas
Thanks. The original Vistas are still strong contenders. Especially at a lower price. The Vista 2 have slightly more bass by default but with some EQing you can get just as good a sound out of the original Vistas too
I may be too late on this but I will give my opinion on it. I'm by no means an audiophile but I do own several headsets and generally stick to cheaper sport buds, $20 range simply because the technology isn't there yet to compete with over ear headphones. A budget pair of over ear headphones Sound surge 60's to be specific, sounded astronomically better and it doesn't have an equalizer like the Vista 2's. Personally I would advise you to go with something along the lines like the Otiums. They are cheap sport buds that really get the job done well and sound pretty good. For $200 they should be ashamed for releasing such a bad audio experience in these buds.
@@closeenough1343 It's never too late to share your experience be it good or bad so your opinion is always welcome but I don't believe the Vista 2 sound worse than any $20 earbuds. All that said, I'm just about to finish my review of the JLab Go Air Pop which also cost $20 and they sound pretty good too. But not "$200 good" for sure...
Hey Man! Great Review! A good Ambient mode is really important for me, How would you compare the Ambient Modes of Vista 2 vs Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro?
The Vista 2 have a better transparency mode with more setting options while the transparency mode on the Soundcore buds doesn't really do much in my opinion...
@@AndysTechTone Thank you for your reply man! In your opinion which of them sounds more natural(Vista 2 or Liberty Air 2 pro)? Last Question: Which earbud for the Android ecosystem has the best ambient mode according to you?
The ambient mode on the Soundcore sound more natural in a sense as it's like it's not even turned on. The Vista 2 has a slight sound shift, everything sound a bit thin with no low frequencies. Regarding the best it really all depends on what you want from ambient mode. Amplified noises? Natural sound? Less wind noise? More options and flexibility? I cannot really answer that for you...
@@AndysTechTone I want something that feels natural, where I can play my music at 50-60% volume and still able to be aware of my surroundings- giving me the feeling that the music is basically playing in the background. I get that really well in the Airpods pro but I can't switch to the apple ecosystem just to get a good Ambient mode :/
@@AndysTechTone yeah I have a pair of Powerbeats3 from 2018, those are wireless, but they have an annoying cable between the two earbuds... I start to hate it...
Great Review! How would these compare with the B&O e8 Sport? I’m at a cross roads between the two. I’ve had the B&O e8 (gen1), but lost them and now need some new earbuds. Thanks and I’m a NEW subscriber.. 🇺🇸
Thanks👍 The Jaybirds offer more features and similar sound quality for much less money. If you want the best sport buds get the Vista 2. If you want better materials and a more luxurious feel then get the E8 Sport
May I ask your comparison between Vista 2 and Klipsch's t5 ii sports? Especially in terms of sound and mic quality.. Assuming that they're the same price.. PS: awesome bud review videos. They're world class!
Did they solve the connection issues? On their website, many people complain about connection issues. If that is solved I'll go for Vista 2 over Bose Sport Earbuds. Any comments?
I wish Jaybird would change their design practice of integrating the wing and the ear tips. I have a pair of their Tarah BT earphones and have a terrible time getting them to fit properly. Either the wing is too small or the ear tip is too large. Every time I use them it's a struggle to get them in and to seal properly. Consequently, the Vista 2 is out of consideration in my quest for a replacement.
Hey man, I have a question and I really hope you can help me. I used to run with my AirPods while only wearing my Apple Watch. This is great as I hate having to carry the weight of my phone. However, one major downside to this is that then the sound becomes very flat as the Music or Spotify on my Apple Watch doesn’t offer an equalizer. Recently I got myself the Sony WF1000XM4 and I was amazed to see that they store whatever preferences you set in the app on the buds themselves, so this resulted in great sound via my Apple Watch. However, the Sony are kind of terrible for sports as it will fatigue my ears relatively fast and they move a bit as well, so I eat my footsteps all the time, etc. Question: do the vista 2 behave like the Sony? Will the sound profile remain the same regardless of the sound source? I would get them right away if this is the case. Thanks in advance.
The Jaybird more than likely stores all the settings itself so that shouldn’t be an issue. The other question is that how well the Vista 2 and the Apple Watch work together and this is something I have no experience with.
I bought the Jaybirds a few months ago after watching your reviews and they've grown on me; they just survived a 2-hour wash cycle after I left them in my shorts, which is a big plus, as is the capability to use just one bud. But my son has just asked me if I'd like the new Jaybird 2 or Bose Sport buds for my birthday next week. I love the Bose sound quality, and the Bose buds are more secure in my ears (I have to keep refitting the Jaybirds when I sweat on a long run) but would like the ambient sound feature as I currently only use one bud when running or cycling to keep some awareness of traffic (and I doubt the Bose' would have survived a wash cycle). Difficult decision; can you help again?
The Bose Sport Earbuds are nowhere near as durable as the Jaybirds for sure. And there is no ANC, no ambient mode and no EQ and the touch controls have limited functionality too. The Vista 2 has this issue with wind noise though so I'm not sure how that would work for you on the bike. But at least it does have ANC and ambient so it's an obvious choice if you need such features.
@@AndysTechTone Thanks. Much as I love the better Bose sound quality, I think the features are more important as you say. The sound quality is only really noticeable when I'm focusing on it, so not when exercising anyway. I have Sony WM1000XM3s for use around the house, so the buds are only for workouts, and I doubt it'll be the last time my earbuds go through a wash cycle!.
I tried the old Vistas twice and the call quality was horrible. People could hear me good at all so I returned them. The fit was good but the call quality sucked. I hope these are better.
As long as your earbuds have AAC codec support and an iOS app you're okay on iPhones/iPads. And pretty much all earbuds work on Android perfectly fine. Except for the Airpods of course which still work on Android but with limited functionality
I am facing sound quality issue in ANC,Surround sense.custom eq is not working properly in ANC,Surround sense.Actually the sound is very bad.I have raised the complaint to jaybird but I haven’t received any response from them. I heard that some people have issue on the same. Is anyone facing the issue?
No connection issues but I just discovered that maybe the right earbud is not charging properly inside the case. I have to investigate it further and I'll contact Jaybird about it and let you guys know as soon as I figure out something
Dear God... what am I to do now. I had my heart set on the XM4's but with these guys in the mix, the choice has become very tough. The Jaybird V2s have such a nice compact design (and wingtips!!). Maybe not quite as feature-laden but at that price it's extremely competitive. I don't need "work-out" buds per-se, but the secure fit that wingtips provide, and the inclusion of talk-through mode, might tip it over the edge for the Jaybird V2s IMO. If you were going for your first pair of true wireless buds, and wanted the best experience, which would you choose?
@@AndysTechTone one other thing (maybe also an item to add to future review checklists), I've looked into it online, but can't really seem to find a definitive answer; Does it support multipoint? If so, how is the transitioning between devices?
No multipoint, if there was I'd have mentioned it. I'm just kind of tired of always complaining about no multipoint support on earbuds but you're right, it might be worth mentioning
@@nibbax7772 I ended up getting the XM4's, the Jaybirds are STILL not available in Australia without paying an exorbitant shipping cost. I am pleased to report the XM4 fit is definitely secure enough not to have any worry about it falling out unwantedly. I ended up using the smallest size tips that came with the XM4's and after about a week or so you get used to the fit in your ear. All this said, I would caution anyone with small ears to look at getting the Jaybirds as wingtips are always good at securing a fit without the need for undue pressure to keep the buds in place. I'd still be quite happy owning either.
@@nibbax7772 the Pros are a different story but the Vista 2 have better sound and durability. ANC is still more effective on the Airpods Pro but that depends on your fit as well
Just got the new jaybird Vista 2 and took it on an airplane and when I landed it seems like the air pressure messed with the earbud and I couldn't click the button anymore. But after 3 days it went back to normal. It did the same thing on the way back. Anyone else have that problem?
Lol they literally slip out just leaning my head forward. They really should have found a way to implement clips. Like the cheap buds have, those things never fall out, even with oily skin and sweat.
Anybody has connectivity issues from these and know how fix it? I've been trying to workout with them, but they kept disconnecting even if I just put my phone in my pocket or put my phone a few feet away from me.
I might be late but it could be the sensor on the bud, if it doesn't have direct skin contact they shut off. So it replicates them falling out making them pause or even shut off sometimes. Oily skin can cause this or sometimes if they aren't deep enough in your ear.
@@AndysTechTone thanks a lot for your reply Andy, I checked your review and almost certain on buying it, although its a year old and thought if anything similar with earbuds has come along later so thought of asking the best person in the business here.
@@djpu21 to be completely honest I haven't really kept an eye on the mp3 buds recently so there could be something new out there which I haven't heard about yet...😳
@@AndysTechTone okay, thanks a lot. your channel is awesome , keep uploading this stuff and may you can also have a triathlon training kinda channel as well for aspiring triathletes. Thanks again!!
Need help please. On SALE today, and almost the same price at $120. Which you gonna buy?: 1. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 1 2. Sony WF-1000XM3 3. Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro 4. Jabra Elite 85T
@@AndysTechTone between the jaybird 2, jabra elite 75t and bose sport earbuds, which in your opinion, is the best? I'm looking for sound quality and a tight fit, don't want my earbuds falling out.
I got the best fit with the Vista 2 and I also love their sound.But the Bose Sport Earbuds are very comfortable too and they have a really exciting, energizing sound. But the Vista 2 offers more software settings and customisation and they are more rugged too
i dont reccomend getting these. The company stopped posting on instagram last year and their vista 2 product quality has decreased an incredible amount. Terrible sound quality and keeping the sound of wind out. I had to return mine.
Total disappointment, right off the bat from the case, right ear bud wasn’t charging not connecting. Neither soft or hard reset worked and had to return it. Total cheap manufacturing and poor quality control. Left ear bud that was working, didn’t have impressive sound. Save your time to research for another bud, wish there was more IP68 buds. Hopefully soon!

The Sony WF-SP800N look interesting but I am very turned off by their large profile, and I'm afraid the comfort level compared to what I'm used to with the Vistas is going to be a difficult hurdle to cross.
The JBL reflect Mini's seem to come closest, but you've stated in that review that you would choose the SP800N's over the reflect minis in a heartbeat haha. It's a difficult decision.
How about the new Jabra 7 Active? Haven't tested them yet but I will as soon as I can get my hands on a pair. Or the Bose Sport Earbuds? They don't do much in terms of features but they are still one of the most comfortable and best sounding sport buds I've used. Of course if you can find a good deal on the SP800 they are great too!
Excellent review.
Thanks 👍
I have Sony headphones that are fantastic in sound quality, but not very secure in my ears. Looking for secure headphones, I was pointed to these. The first ones I got had 2 issues: one that the left set had lower volume than the right one, and two that the left one made unwanted noise at times. I returned those and got replacements. These also had two issues: one that the sound quality was noticeably worse than the first set, and two that it was next to impossible to have a phone conversation while riding a bike. The wind noise was incredibly bad. So, I returned them as well. I’m still looking for secure headphones that also have good sound quality.
Awesome review.
Thank you Adam 👍
Great review man. I'm really interested in the Vista 2 & thinking about picking them up. I mainly care about Sound quality with good bass & volume with a decent IP rating so I might just grab the original Vistas
Thanks. The original Vistas are still strong contenders. Especially at a lower price. The Vista 2 have slightly more bass by default but with some EQing you can get just as good a sound out of the original Vistas too
@@AndysTechTone that's what I was thinking. I appreciate the response. Keep up the great content
Cheers buddy 👍
I may be too late on this but I will give my opinion on it. I'm by no means an audiophile but I do own several headsets and generally stick to cheaper sport buds, $20 range simply because the technology isn't there yet to compete with over ear headphones. A budget pair of over ear headphones Sound surge 60's to be specific, sounded astronomically better and it doesn't have an equalizer like the Vista 2's. Personally I would advise you to go with something along the lines like the Otiums. They are cheap sport buds that really get the job done well and sound pretty good. For $200 they should be ashamed for releasing such a bad audio experience in these buds.
@@closeenough1343 It's never too late to share your experience be it good or bad so your opinion is always welcome but I don't believe the Vista 2 sound worse than any $20 earbuds. All that said, I'm just about to finish my review of the JLab Go Air Pop which also cost $20 and they sound pretty good too. But not "$200 good" for sure...
Thanks for the great review! Do you know if buying a pair from the US will present any issues in terms of compatibility for a UK device, i.e a phone?
I don't think it should be an issue
Hey Man! Great Review!
A good Ambient mode is really important for me, How would you compare the Ambient Modes of Vista 2 vs Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro?
The Vista 2 have a better transparency mode with more setting options while the transparency mode on the Soundcore buds doesn't really do much in my opinion...
@@AndysTechTone Thank you for your reply man! In your opinion which of them sounds more natural(Vista 2 or Liberty Air 2 pro)?
Last Question: Which earbud for the Android ecosystem has the best ambient mode according to you?
The ambient mode on the Soundcore sound more natural in a sense as it's like it's not even turned on. The Vista 2 has a slight sound shift, everything sound a bit thin with no low frequencies. Regarding the best it really all depends on what you want from ambient mode. Amplified noises? Natural sound? Less wind noise? More options and flexibility? I cannot really answer that for you...
@@AndysTechTone I want something that feels natural, where I can play my music at 50-60% volume and still able to be aware of my surroundings- giving me the feeling that the music is basically playing in the background.
I get that really well in the Airpods pro but I can't switch to the apple ecosystem just to get a good Ambient mode :/
@@moneshbhalodi2379 Sony does that pretty well
Another brilliant ❤ review
Thanks Gar 👍
@@AndysTechTone thank you! The work you put into your vids is incredible.
thank you! I am going to order it then :)
I had a feeling you would 👍😎
@@AndysTechTone yeah I have a pair of Powerbeats3 from 2018, those are wireless, but they have an annoying cable between the two earbuds... I start to hate it...
True wireless is the way to go ☺️🎧
Great Review! How would these compare with the B&O e8 Sport? I’m at a cross roads between the two. I’ve had the B&O e8 (gen1), but lost them and now need some new earbuds. Thanks and I’m a NEW subscriber.. 🇺🇸
Thanks👍 The Jaybirds offer more features and similar sound quality for much less money. If you want the best sport buds get the Vista 2. If you want better materials and a more luxurious feel then get the E8 Sport
If only Samsung had kept the design of the Bud Plus with the wings on the Buds Pro 😮💨.
Decisions...
Great video 👍Very helpful.
Glad you found it helpful Adam 😊
if/when i lose my 3rd pair of jaybird vista im buying this
Did you loose 2 pairs already?
Can each ear bud be sound-pinged (if misplaced) via phone app, even when outside their case?
May I ask your comparison between Vista 2 and Klipsch's t5 ii sports?
Especially in terms of sound and mic quality.. Assuming that they're the same price..
PS: awesome bud review videos. They're world class!
Unfortunately I don't have the Klipsch buds anymore...
Did they solve the connection issues? On their website, many people complain about connection issues. If that is solved I'll go for Vista 2 over Bose Sport Earbuds. Any comments?
I wish Jaybird would change their design practice of integrating the wing and the ear tips. I have a pair of their Tarah BT earphones and have a terrible time getting them to fit properly. Either the wing is too small or the ear tip is too large. Every time I use them it's a struggle to get them in and to seal properly. Consequently, the Vista 2 is out of consideration in my quest for a replacement.
Separate tips and fins would give you more flexibility for sure
Hey man, I have a question and I really hope you can help me. I used to run with my AirPods while only wearing my Apple Watch. This is great as I hate having to carry the weight of my phone. However, one major downside to this is that then the sound becomes very flat as the Music or Spotify on my Apple Watch doesn’t offer an equalizer. Recently I got myself the Sony WF1000XM4 and I was amazed to see that they store whatever preferences you set in the app on the buds themselves, so this resulted in great sound via my Apple Watch. However, the Sony are kind of terrible for sports as it will fatigue my ears relatively fast and they move a bit as well, so I eat my footsteps all the time, etc. Question: do the vista 2 behave like the Sony? Will the sound profile remain the same regardless of the sound source? I would get them right away if this is the case. Thanks in advance.
The Jaybird more than likely stores all the settings itself so that shouldn’t be an issue. The other question is that how well the Vista 2 and the Apple Watch work together and this is something I have no experience with.
I bought the Jaybirds a few months ago after watching your reviews and they've grown on me; they just survived a 2-hour wash cycle after I left them in my shorts, which is a big plus, as is the capability to use just one bud. But my son has just asked me if I'd like the new Jaybird 2 or Bose Sport buds for my birthday next week. I love the Bose sound quality, and the Bose buds are more secure in my ears (I have to keep refitting the Jaybirds when I sweat on a long run) but would like the ambient sound feature as I currently only use one bud when running or cycling to keep some awareness of traffic (and I doubt the Bose' would have survived a wash cycle). Difficult decision; can you help again?
The Bose Sport Earbuds are nowhere near as durable as the Jaybirds for sure. And there is no ANC, no ambient mode and no EQ and the touch controls have limited functionality too. The Vista 2 has this issue with wind noise though so I'm not sure how that would work for you on the bike. But at least it does have ANC and ambient so it's an obvious choice if you need such features.
@@AndysTechTone Thanks. Much as I love the better Bose sound quality, I think the features are more important as you say. The sound quality is only really noticeable when I'm focusing on it, so not when exercising anyway. I have Sony WM1000XM3s for use around the house, so the buds are only for workouts, and I doubt it'll be the last time my earbuds go through a wash cycle!.
Do these sit against your ear canal like Bose, or do they go into the ear canal?
They go in
I tried the old Vistas twice and the call quality was horrible. People could hear me good at all so I returned them. The fit was good but the call quality sucked. I hope these are better.
Jaybird vista 2 vs jabra elite 75t vs sony wf-s800pn, wich one u think is better for gym/cycling?
Vista 2
Question. Would you say these stick deep in your ear as much as the Jabra earbuds?
Yeah, they sit quite deep in my ears
Thoughts on these versus the PowerBeats Pro?
I don't have the Powerbeats Pro but I liked the original Vista better than the Beats and the Vista 2 are even better
I’d like to see which earbuds are better for Apple and Android, becuz some earbuds don’t seem to work for Apple but work on Android
As long as your earbuds have AAC codec support and an iOS app you're okay on iPhones/iPads. And pretty much all earbuds work on Android perfectly fine. Except for the Airpods of course which still work on Android but with limited functionality
Does auto pause work when you remove a single bud? Or do you have to remove both?
It works with each bud, so you have to remove only one for it to work
I am facing sound quality issue in ANC,Surround sense.custom eq is not working properly in ANC,Surround sense.Actually the sound is very bad.I have raised the complaint to jaybird but I haven’t received any response from them.
I heard that some people have issue on the same.
Is anyone facing the issue?
Hi! Would like to know if you encountered any bluetooth connectivity issue? Or any issues you've encountered???
No connection issues but I just discovered that maybe the right earbud is not charging properly inside the case. I have to investigate it further and I'll contact Jaybird about it and let you guys know as soon as I figure out something
@@AndysTechTone Thanks! I've read some feedback about how some people would have the connectivity issue or the charging issue too after a few weeks.
@@mLu126 yep, that seems to be the case unfortunately..
Ello sir Bose sport earbud with this vista interm comfort and soundquality which is better for ur opnion sir
By default I love the Bose sound but with some EQing the Vista 2 can be equally good
@@AndysTechTone thanks for u kindness answer👍
Dear God... what am I to do now. I had my heart set on the XM4's but with these guys in the mix, the choice has become very tough. The Jaybird V2s have such a nice compact design (and wingtips!!). Maybe not quite as feature-laden but at that price it's extremely competitive. I don't need "work-out" buds per-se, but the secure fit that wingtips provide, and the inclusion of talk-through mode, might tip it over the edge for the Jaybird V2s IMO. If you were going for your first pair of true wireless buds, and wanted the best experience, which would you choose?
I'd probably pick the Jaybird Vista 2 if I could have one pair of earbuds only
@@AndysTechTone one other thing (maybe also an item to add to future review checklists), I've looked into it online, but can't really seem to find a definitive answer; Does it support multipoint? If so, how is the transitioning between devices?
No multipoint, if there was I'd have mentioned it. I'm just kind of tired of always complaining about no multipoint support on earbuds but you're right, it might be worth mentioning
@@Blu3wonder hey did you end up buying it? If you did, did you experience any problems? Also would you take these over the AirPods Pro?
@@nibbax7772 I ended up getting the XM4's, the Jaybirds are STILL not available in Australia without paying an exorbitant shipping cost. I am pleased to report the XM4 fit is definitely secure enough not to have any worry about it falling out unwantedly. I ended up using the smallest size tips that came with the XM4's and after about a week or so you get used to the fit in your ear. All this said, I would caution anyone with small ears to look at getting the Jaybirds as wingtips are always good at securing a fit without the need for undue pressure to keep the buds in place. I'd still be quite happy owning either.
What did you end up at as far as eq’ing?
Just a tiny bit of a boost at the low end gave me the sound I like I guess
worth making the upgrade from Airpord Gen 2 for gym and heavy workout use?
Anything is worth making an upgrade from an Airpod in my opinion and the Jaybirds are definitely top of the list 😎
@@AndysTechTone what about AirPods Pro
@@nibbax7772 the Pros are a different story but the Vista 2 have better sound and durability. ANC is still more effective on the Airpods Pro but that depends on your fit as well
can i use this in everyday work....or just buy non sporty earbuds like sony mx4
You can easily use these all day every day
Just got the new jaybird Vista 2 and took it on an airplane and when I landed it seems like the air pressure messed with the earbud and I couldn't click the button anymore. But after 3 days it went back to normal. It did the same thing on the way back. Anyone else have that problem?
That's a weird issue but those buttons are so tight in the first place that I'm not even surprised...
Any tips on fit? I get a great seal in the beginning however, after a vigorous workout, they slip out.
As long as you have tried and tested all the eartips I have nothing... 😳
Lol they literally slip out just leaning my head forward. They really should have found a way to implement clips. Like the cheap buds have, those things never fall out, even with oily skin and sweat.
@@closeenough1343 right
Anybody has connectivity issues from these and know how fix it? I've been trying to workout with them, but they kept disconnecting even if I just put my phone in my pocket or put my phone a few feet away from me.
I might be late but it could be the sensor on the bud, if it doesn't have direct skin contact they shut off. So it replicates them falling out making them pause or even shut off sometimes. Oily skin can cause this or sometimes if they aren't deep enough in your ear.
Suggest me one pair of tws for my workouts at gym
How about the Jaybird Vista 2? Beats Fit Pro or Jabra Elite 7 Active maybe
How do these hold up in a sauna
I’ve never tested them in a sauna but maybe someone else has experience with it
are there any earphone buds which have music storage in them, I want to run without my phone. and may b should be waterproof to handle rains as well.
The Sony NW-WS623 come to mind but those are a headband design, have a look and see if that's something you need or not
@@AndysTechTone thanks a lot for your reply Andy, I checked your review and almost certain on buying it, although its a year old and thought if anything similar with earbuds has come along later so thought of asking the best person in the business here.

What are the best bluetooth earbuds?
There is quite a few to choose from depending on loads of different factors...
@@AndysTechTone between the jaybird 2, jabra elite 75t and bose sport earbuds, which in your opinion, is the best?
I'm looking for sound quality and a tight fit, don't want my earbuds falling out.
I got the best fit with the Vista 2 and I also love their sound.But the Bose Sport Earbuds are very comfortable too and they have a really exciting, energizing sound. But the Vista 2 offers more software settings and customisation and they are more rugged too
@@AndysTechTone thank you so much for your responde, i've seen a few of your videos on the subject, keep up the great work, cheers!
i dont reccomend getting these. The company stopped posting on instagram last year and their vista 2 product quality has decreased an incredible amount. Terrible sound quality and keeping the sound of wind out. I had to return mine.
Tempted by these
For workouts they are perfect, especially outdoors
👌👌👌👌
Total disappointment, right off the bat from the case, right ear bud wasn’t charging not connecting. Neither soft or hard reset worked and had to return it. Total cheap manufacturing and poor quality control. Left ear bud that was working, didn’t have impressive sound. Save your time to research for another bud, wish there was more IP68 buds. Hopefully soon!
