Selection Guide
JayBird Freedom Bluetooth
The JayBird Freedom are in-ear wireless Bluetooth headphones featuring a built-in microphone to take your calls while you're out and about. The Freedom's wonderful untethered design eliminates tangles when listening on the move or working out at the gym without sacrificing either superb sound or comfort. The fit is more earbud-oriented than a true 'in-ear monitor' with shallower positioning into the ear canal that allows easy wearing while avoiding total ambient isolation -- nice when you still want to stay in touch with your surroundings. Effortless 50ft+ transmission range from your Bluetooth source allows foot-loose roaming without losing the signal.

The HeadRoom crew has just been knocked out by the amazing sound performance of the JayBird Freedom in-ear Bluetooth headphones. Is it the best Bluetooth sound quality we've heard yet? In a word, yep! Amazing musicality, great fidelity and a wonderfully deep timbral presentation that was -- until now -- unheard in wireless Bluetooth headphones makes the JayBird Freedom an astonishing audio development in the world of cord-free headphones. The superb-sounding Apt-X DSP engine behind the Freedom's stereo 16-bit wireless transmission scheme renders uncompressed music with palpable impact and dynamically clear detail that's sure to power you through the toughest workouts you can muster or just put a spring in your step commuting busy streets or doing some personal listening at the home or office. The Freedom's engaging tone delivers killer bass with excellent texture along with impressively extended mids/highs presence light-years from the usual tinny, canned sound of Bluetooth headphones. The fact that the sound quality remains so stellar sans cables weighing you down is testament to superb audio engineering behind JayBird. Built-in microphone plus phone call + player control allows volume, play/pause, next and back track plus call answer/end from the Freedom right earpiece.
The JayBird Freedom wireless in-ears come in Midnight Black color only and arrive with a great accessories kit outfitted with three sizes of ear clips and 3 sizes of earfins for a stable, secure fit for active exercisers and workout mavens. The sole cord on the Freedom serves to join left / right earpieces together and features a cord tie to snug the cable against the back of your neck once fitted. With cosmetics inspired by sports car fog lamp grills and the slick durability of silicone, the Freedom's unique hexagonal ear cushions deliver superb comfort and secure fit for any use. The honeycombed eartip center gives a balanced amount of resistance against the back bowl of the ear canal, thus holding the eartip securely forward within the ear. The JayBird lifetime warranty against sweat is a huge plus and ensures these cool wireless cans will last the test of time and heavy-duty use no matter how hot or moist your gym work gets. In fact, according to JayBird, no other headphone is designed quite like Freedom when it comes to 'sweat proofing'. The earpieces are double-shot/over-molded (fused together) with the rubberized center button & outer rubber seals. Tiny clamps inside the earpieces hold the main housing and front cover together firm against the rubber seal. The internal speaker cup and main earpiece body are a single part, eliminating all screws and seams. The USB charger cover is protectively recessed, volume buttons are covered in rubberized surfacing, and even the mic opening has an acoustically transparent gauze cover, all designed to hermetically seal against moisture and protect your JayBird investment for a lifetime.

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Good quality, Comfortable and great value
Cons: Have to remember to charge it and on/off button a tad little stiff.
Little complain so far. Works fine, comfortable, holds well during run and no problem with sweat at all. Precisely what I am looking for in a wireless.
Two minor glitch. If you put the phone on your left pocket, Bluetooth connection might occasionally be interrupted. I put it on my right pocket and it's very much better, less, if not none of the interruption.
The on/off/play/pause button can feel a little stiff and when answering calls you have to take it out of your ear to click the button. Otherwise, with the bud inside your ear, pressing the button will result in shoving the bud further inside your ear and you still won't be able to activate the button.
