Music and running are two passions that help us decompress from the day. While I love getting deep in the mountains for the solitude and sounds of nature, often times my weekday runs can sound like cars, tourists, and the noise in my head.

This fall seems like the season we're finally going to see an amazing new family of gadgets: completely wireless headphones that work properly. Sure, companies have tried for years, but most of those attempts have sucked (or been really hard to actually buy ).

Such a good; snug fit

Interference made them unusable in the city

If you're on head-fi, you're picky about sound quality. So if you haven't bought the Jaybird Run yet, maybe wait for v2.0 Or try it and make sure the store has a good return policy. Maybe it will fit your needs. As usual, YMMV.

Comfortable; Bluetooth connectivity issues have been fixed; Secure when running or doing vigorous workouts; builtin 5band parametric equalizer

Supports only SBC (no AAC or AptX); no multipoint connections (only one connected device at a time); no volume controls; noticeable latency in videos (especially the YouTube app

The Jaybird Run are some of the best Bluetooth headphones on the market, and you wouldn't be remiss to pick these up for yourself. With great sound, no wires, and customizable EQ, you would be hard-pressed to find a better option. You will just need to be able to swallow the $180 price tag first.

Jaybird RUN headphones are available to purchase from JB HiFi for A$249 or directly through Jaybird's

Awesome headphones. Comfy, fits well (doesn't fall out), sweat/water resistant & great battery life. I've used this everyday since I bought it and it's great!

Work as expected, Good comfort, Good support, Great case and battery life. Good quality product overall Phone work perfectly and sound is good. (for phone) But, for music, the sound is not good enough for my needs. it lacks sound in the low frequencies.

Jaybird's $180 Run XT doesn't offer as much for the money as Jabra's Elite Active 65t does, though the Jaybird buds are a solid option for outdoor-sports enthusiasts. If you don't need completely wireless fitness buds, try Jaybird's $160 Tarah Pro, a corded pair with lengthy battery life.

Sealed; Comfortable fit; New waterproof design for extreme weather

Battery life could be better; No ambient-noise option; Lag in video-playback syncing

I find minimalistic running to be the best kind of running. Thankfully the days of the big, clunky, bright yellow Sony Sports Walkman are long behind us. We have come so far that headphone ports are even being phased out (like it or not), as are many types of cables and cords.
