According to our earbuds expert
The Jaybird X3 earbuds are wireless sport earbuds. They can be worn in front of your ears, just like regular headphones, or behind them. The latter option provides a more secure fit. In any case the earclips ensure that the earbuds will not fall out your ears. The Bluetooth battery is good for 8 hours usage. The quick charge function means you can use the headphones for 1 hours after just 20 minutes of charging. This is great if you are all set to go training but the battery is empty. Run in the rain without worries, as these headphones are splashproof. Sweat, mud and sunlight also won't damage the X3. The free MySound smartphone app customizes your sound. The settings are saved in the earbuds. It doesn't matter which smartphone you connect to, the sound will always be your preferred settings.

After years of intensive use, my trusty Adidas Sennheiser buds had given up, so it was time for something new. No more hassle with a cable, the ease of putting that phone aside was a must for me when buying new buds. After a while of research I decided on this Jaybird X3. Ordering and delivery went without a hitch, as I am used to from Coolblue.
A day later my new Jaybird X3 arrived in the mailbox. Nicely packaged and plenty of accessories included in the package. There is something for everyone to adapt the headphones to your needs and preferences, and that is necessary to be able to use your buds optimally.
So you have the choice to use the standard silicone caps or the ones that are made of "foam", a kind of memo foam rubber. The latter are a real pleasure to wear and one of the reasons why the buds stay put so well. Each version comes in 3 sizes from small to large and it takes some trial and error to find the right size, which by the way is no effort.
The wings. What a hassle. After some searching to find the right size, 3 sizes are also included, I had to get those things on the right way. I don't think the method described in the manual was correct. In the way described it felt and looked really unpleasant, not "over-ear" and not "under-ear". It worked when I put the wings on just the other way around. They now stay in place and look less clunky. You don't have to use them, by the way, but because I don't want to hassle with buds that constantly fall out of my ears on the road, I attached them on it.
There are also some handy clips in the packaging. For example, one to attach the cable to your shirt, which I don't use. The other clip conveniently shortens the cable. That way it stays firmly on the back of my head and there's nothing to dangle.
The service is not too big but not super small either. It's light enough and it doesn't bother me, I even forget it's hanging there. The standard buttons are easy to find and operate there on the back of my head. The on-off/pause button in the middle and along it the volume buttons. Unfortunately, you can't skip to the next or previous song with the controls. The function to use the pause button to activate Siri on your iPhone is handy. The battery percentage is also included when switching on.
To charge the battery of these wireless buds, a charger is included in a storage bag. The charger consists of a dongle and a removable USB cable. It does the job, charges quickly but is oh so clunky to carry around. It is a non-conventional charger so if you lose it you will have to look for a replacement. The storage bag is just too small for the charger and the buds and I think that's a shame. In my opinion your equipment will last longer if you take care of it and leaving them lying around in your gym bag is not taking care of your equipment. The battery life is certainly long enough. Let's say that every hour about 20% of your battery is drained and you recharge it in no time.
The sound is rather on the flat side, but the app that you have to download will soon change that. Different presets take your music to the level you want it to be. For the creatives there is also the possibility to set the equalizer manually. The "find my buds" option is also very handy if you lose your headphones.
They are not noise canceling buds, but I don't mind that at all as I want to be aware of the traffic around me. They can play hard but not excessively to spare your eardrums. Not once have I encountered a problem with the bluetooth connectivity and not once have they escaped my ears during my strength training or running sessions, and I clock quite a few miles in a week.
In short, a must-have for those who want to have music during their sporting activity without the hassle of a cable. You put them in your ears at the start and they don't come out until you're done.
