What customers say about "Key Specs"

JayBird X4 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones for Sport, Fitness and Running

Battery life had been consistent with what was promised. It fits very securely and I have complete confidence while running.
Sound quality is much better than the OE Apple ones. Clearer and tighter bass, well defined mids and sparkling highs. Hearing instruments in the mix now that were inaudible before.
The battery life is around 8 hours after about two to three months of usage.
After only a few months, the battery life has already degraded substantially and now provides about half the duration it did initially.
Garbage product. After a month of light usage the battery life shortened dramatically. Went from working for around 6 hours on a full charge to just 1-2.

JayBird Tarah Pro Wireless Sport Headphones (Titanium/Glacier)

The battery life is what I expected, they're comfortable, and they fit securely in my ears.
The sound is great, battery life as can be expected, comfort depends on your ear holes.
The battery lasts a great amount of time, and prompts you with the percentage of charge whenever you turn them on.
The battery life is only middling. I get maybe 4-5 hours out of a charge.
The battery life is sub-optimal for sure. I would say you're lucky to see the 6 hours they advertise, so I charge them every night just to make sure they won't be dead when I wake up the next day.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

JayBird X4 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones for Sport, Fitness and Running

Battery life is less than I would like, but with the compact size I realize that there is a tradeoff so that’s not a realistic expectation.
It fits very securely and I have complete confidence while running.
Love the sound quality and that they fit n my ears and cancels out extraneous sound.
Honestly don’t like the size of the ear buds it comes with, if you have small ears.
This is no small thing as I've had other wireless buds where you couldn't tell the play/pause from the volume up/down.

JayBird Tarah Pro Wireless Sport Headphones (Titanium/Glacier)

The sound quality is better than impressive. How about the weight of them? They are amazingly lightweight.
I really like these, hold a decent charge, good fit, very light, synch easily, good bluetooth range, good sound.
Nice sound, nice comfort, very light, etc. the smart phone app is helpful in changing your equalizer settings.
They're incredibly light possibly lighter than the Soundsports. I now know how people can forget they have headphones on.
Th ey are light, fit well, are sweatproof, isolate noise, and have customizable EQ.

What customers say about "Features"

JayBird X4 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones for Sport, Fitness and Running

I like that you can customize the EQ sound with the downloadable app.
You don't have to keep the app open for the customized sound to stay which is nice.
The fit isnt bad. I have ridiculously small ears so I'm glad they give you several interchangeable sizes to play around with.
They fit well into the ear and include several different inserts that help to customize the fit to your ears.
The Bluetooth connection of the buds constantly get interrupted when I'm walking while connected to my phone that is 3 feet away in any of my pockets.

JayBird Tarah Pro Wireless Sport Headphones (Titanium/Glacier)

They are good in the gym because they don't move around or pop out while I'm working out.
Low battery warning is non-intrusive and not at 1000% volume which is surprisingly difficult to find in bluetooth earbuds.
The controls are easy to use and I can tell the buttons apart just by feeling them which makes it easier.
If you like customizing things, the app does let you change the EQ and what the buttons do.
Which leads into my only complaint: they are not very comfortable for long term listening.

Battery Charge Time

What customers say about "Power"

JayBird X4 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones for Sport, Fitness and Running

They stay charged well, and also charge quickly. The changeable ear pieces are nice.
The battery charge feature is the most important to me, though. It's handy to know when to recharge, so your phones don't die unexpectedly in the middle of a session.
These headphones offer 8 hours of playtime on a single charge.
The fast charging is burning up the battery. Never had that issue with the X3's.
Decent at blocking noise, water still runs into my ears, terrible battery life, especially since they just stopped charging altogether.

JayBird Tarah Pro Wireless Sport Headphones (Titanium/Glacier)

I would not agree with the battery life claim but they charged back up insanely fast.
Sound quality is good for the size and they are well sealed to protect against water damage. I can go over a week or two without having to charge.
Сharger is easy to use and provides a great, tight connection. Сharges quickly.
This was my second pair of Jaybirds. Both times the earbuds stopped charging and would not turn back on no matter how many reset techniques I tried. A complete waste of money.
Love these headphones. My only complaint is that their charging system is a proprietary connection instead of a standard one.
