At Rs. 15,999 the Jaybird X2 certainly isn’t cheap. It is however the best sports-oriented wireless wireless IEM you can buy. Great battery life, great build quality, and rich audio all bundled into a package that’s quite nice to look at. Minor complaints aside, if you have the money and you want the ultimate in audio gear designed for fitness activities you can’t go wrong with the Jaybird X2.
So far so good, though what about performance?
The Jaybird X2 has a rich and vibrant tonality. It goes very well in line with the active lifestyle ethos that the X2 comes from. There’s just enough bass without being overbearing, while at the same time the X2 displays a surprising amount of detail for wireless headphones. At Rs. 15,999 it’s certainly not cheap. And one of the most pertinent questions to ask is, does the Jaybird X2 sound as good as a pair of wired IEMs at that price point? Guess what, they do! I had the Cowon EH2 handy for reference and the X2 is evenly matched, in fact, bettering the EH2 on certain genres. If I had to nitpick I’d say that the housing is a little large (not heavy though) and getting a good fit takes a bit of practice and experimentation. But they’re minor complaints. Overall, if you have the money and you want the ultimate in audio designed for fitness activities you can’t go wrong with the Jaybird X2.
