Jaybird X4 review: Great earbuds without much new to offer
A confession: I gave up on my previous pair of Bluetooth earbuds, Jaybird's own X2, after about a year. It wasn't their fault; they sounded good, they were comfortable, and the battery lasted long enough.
Sound quality
The X4 sound really good; There's surprising
oomph
to the bass, New fins
The updated fin style is more flexible and easier to keep clean than previous versions, IP rating
They're safe in up to a meter of water for as long as 30 minutes
Goofy proprietary charger
I'm more bothered than most by single-purpose cables and adapters, but come on; The charging clip is even worse than the X3's, New cinch
A single cinch for adjusting the wire between the earbuds is simpler, but it negatively impacts the fit compared to the double cinch...
