If you were to ask me to suggest a pair that will please most people-no matter their musical tastes or how they intend to use them-I'd recommend Jaybird's X4 wireless sports earphones .

IPX7: can be submerged in one meter of water for 30 minutes; Sound great under most circumstances; MySound companion app allows for EQ adjustment; Ship with Comply foam ear tips; 10-minute quick charge provides an hour of listening

Proprietary charging cable required; Audio becomes muddy at maximum volume; Audio call quality could be better

I'd always used standard ear buds for running previously but these take things to the next level for me. The sound quality is very good and you can customise it to suit how you like it to sound via the app so you have full control over the EQ/soundstage which was brilliant, took a bit of tweaking...

If you reside in an area bustling with athletic activity or you often visit the gym, you will realize one thing in common with the runners, weightlifters or strollers. They have headphones on.

REVIEW – I'm on a mission to find my next favorite pair of Bluetooth earbuds and so far I've been focusing entirely on truly wireless earbuds, but in reality, if I had to pick a pair of Bluetooth earbuds that sound the best and fit the best, the ones I'd pick are not completely wireless.

Good sound quality

The Jaybird X4 Wireless are great wireless sports in-ears that are versatile for everyday casual use. They block a decent amount of noi...

The X4s are a refresh of the company's older Jaybird X3 wireless headphones. The only significant changes are their improved IPX7 water/sweat proofing, redesigned tips and ‘Speed Cinch' cord management system, which, according to Jaybird, will provide users an even more secure fit.

Solid; comfortable fit; Decent sound for a sports set; Great build quality

Prone to dropouts in busy areas

Jaybird is back to its old ways with the release of the Jaybird X4. These are some of the best-wired Bluetooth headphones on the market and should definitely be considered by anyone, but especially if you are a frequent gym-goer. The sound is great and the design is familiar, yet comfortable.

Excellent fit; Great sound; Good battery life; Waterproof

The app could use improvement; since you need Spotify Premium to play music through it

The X4 is a further refinement of Jaybird's sport earbuds, and both a solid and cheaper alternative to Apple's Powerbeats3.

These good-value headphones with customisable sound settings are a solid update on Jaybird’s popular X3s
