Jaybird Vista 2 vs Jabra Elite 7 Active: Which true wireless headphones are best for runners?

[@michaelshelnutt1779]

Thanks for your reviews. Truly insightful and helped me to decide to get the jaybirds. They fit great I've already gone on a few runs and not once did I feel like they were going to fall out. The sound is great the use of The equalizer surely helps in the overall sound experience. I was having a little bit of a challenge with a button controls at first but now have gotten used to it. The touch controls for changing the ambient sound to outside noise sound and off is still a challenge to get working correctly but it is a nice feature. The only thing that I might have to complain about is that the fit is so good that all I am hearing are the sounds of my own feet thumping on the ground and I feel it resonating inside my head which I haven't noticed with any other earbuds before so that's a new experience. Thanks again for all your work and all your recommendations.

The Vista 2s fit GREAT BUT.... I'm on my fourth pair via warranty. Fit doesn't mean anything if they quit charging after a month or two. This model is obviously defective and the company just keeps sending more defective headphones. Jabras start to slip when really sweaty but at least they work when I take them out of the case.

[@timbred8532]

This. My Vista's (original) didn't even last 1.5 years before the left earbud stopped playing audio. I'm now switching to Jabra's, solely because of the 2 year warranty.

[@ThaCurbdog]

Had 2 pair of the original Vistas and both lasted about 3 months. One put was a factory warranty replacement. With both pair, one bud stopped charging. When I had the 2nd pair crap out, Jaybird told me I was lucky to even get that pair! Jabra has always been reliable and never let me down, personally.

[@marlonbrown604]

I just reported ANOTHER COMPLAINT to Vista bought my 2nd pair going bad. I’m done with them! I want the Jabra 8elite or even the 10

[@rob_h_7]

Ordered the Jaybird Vista 2s for £149 in the Black Friday sale. Very much looking forward to not having my wired Apple earphones fall out on my next run! Your reviews to-date have been really helpful

[@TheRunTesters]

Nice one Rob. Let us know how you get on.

[@StephenAmaguinJr]

Thank you for helping me not compulsively buying another set of earbuds. I currently rock the Jaybird Vista 2s and Jabra Elite 85t for rotaional purposes.

[@TheRunTesters]

Ha ha, we aim to be useful!

[@pauldunning5933]

Bought a pair of Jaybird a few weeks ago fantastic earbuds for running , the only ones I have had that don't pop out on trails

[@OCDSuomi]

Same here! Vistas are the only ones that gives me that secure feeling!

[@TheRunTesters]

Nice work Paul. Glad you've found something that works. Those wing tips make a lot of difference.

[@pterodactylman136]

I got to put the elite 7 active in my ears a while ago and it was weird. They sit in your ear and make contact at the bottom of your ear for security. And that was very strange. But it was very comfortable.

[@YunaxEU]

I've just ordered the Jaybird Vista 2's, they have 15% off on amazon right now :)

[@TheRunTesters]

Nice work on the discount. Let us know how you get on with them.

[@bighilly0]

They are terrible having to do a reset every time 🤬

[@cesarrodriguez3789]

So I waiting on the jabra elite 3 which was another varient that came out alongside the 7 elite active/pro. Just based out of reviews the 3 sounded more positive. I remember I had the elite (none active) and used it as if it was before buying the 65 active and realized there wasn't much of a difference in fit. I complain about fit often because of my small ear canals so coming across the jabra brand has been a blessing. Since the 65t I bought both the 75t and 75t active and loved them. Even tried the studio beats pro (wing tip was intrusive). I read the elite 3 is smaller(even more secure fit) while also including a first time feature, able to use either bud kinda like airpods, with the same quality sound as the 7 active/pro. I can follow up on this to let you know how they fit and if they fall out during a run.

[@TheDeterminedRunner]

I always find Buds/Headphones so difficult to buy after having so many in the past that just haven't stayed in my ears, I normally find the headphones with a strap/band going round the back of the head stay in my ears the best, saying that I'd love to try the Jaybirds & Jabras, I just can't justify the cost on something that may not fit me whilst running 😕

[@TheRunTesters]

That's a problem with not being able to try before you buy. They should ship em with test gels and wrapped.

[@HernanHH95]

Get some memory foam ear tips

[@kramerhollenbach7191]

You guys are all about the vista 2's but when I look up actual buyer reviews they almost all have something negative to say...

[@JochenSzostek]

I also had issues with my Jaybird vista 1 charging not equally due to dirty connectors in the charging case.

[@DannyECO7]

This is exactly the video I needed. Thank you!

[@TheRunTesters]

Hi Danny, glad it was useful.

[@movdqa]

Jaybirds Vista 2 are now $99 at Amazon. Tempting. My current are the Beats Fit Pro.

[@AmitKumar-in7vo]

Great review! So...Vistas can be sound-pinged even outside the case, whereas Jabras can only be pinged when INSIDE the case?

[@rcr8080]

ive been torn between these 2 for a while, this review is great and helped me a lot, i was leaning towards the vista exactly because of the wingtip desing and they seemed more "well build"

[@EnglishPappa]

Nicely done review

[@immortalsun]

The Jaybird Vista 2s cost $90 (USD) here!

[@brianberry6123]

I have a question reference to how far the jabra 7 sticks out from the ear vs the jaybirds. I just received my jaybirds and they stick out further than the galaxy buds. I wear watchman/ski toboggan hats to keep the wind out of my ears and I am getting pressure from the jaybirds I have used the original Samsung galaxy buds that had wings and they have worked great for me. But they have stopped working. The new style galaxy buds 2 do not stay in. Trying to find new running buds. Thanks

[@BJPerryJr]

I've owned both & The Elite 7 Active are smaller and don't stick out of the ear as far as the Jaybird. The Jabras are much more comfortable in my opinion too. Of course that's probably because of the wing tip on the Jaybirds

[@brianberry6123]

Thank you

[@BJPerryJr]

@@brianberry6123 no problem. Happy to help

[@antonioczar3056]

Great review

[@thehandsonlandlord626]

The Jabras would not stay in my left ear. It would come loose within the first half mile of running. This is an issue mentioned by numerous other people so it must be a problem.

[@TheRunTesters]

Have we all got different shaped left ears? Odd that it seems to be that side. Ours never actually fell out but didn't feel secure and that feeling can be a bit annoying.

[@davidfence6939]

Do any of your testers happen to mountain bike as well?

[@KenrickWidjaja]

how's the microphone?

[@mikehall6433]

It’s between these two and the beats fit pro. Hurry up and get some for review. Not that I can buy any beats yet 😂

[@TheRunTesters]

We're working hard to get the Beats Fit. Doesn't help that they're not out in the until 2022. But we'll keep working at it.

[@mikehall6433]

@@TheRunTesters I thought they would be throwing them at you. One of the best channels on KZbin 🤙🏼

[@nikicrewes1411]

Thanks for the video. What would you/anyone say is the best earbuds with transparency mode on that reduces wind noise?

[@morganfourman7374]

Jaybird vista or jbl reflects pro ?

[@farisrahmansatria5200]

Now the active has multipoint

[@tonyfmendonca]

Jaybird vista software issues barleyake them usable... connection issues and difficulty switching between apps requires turning Bluetooth on and off until the work. I can't believe there hasn't been an update to fix... look elsewhere.

[@brianxdx1993]

Please review the beats fit pro

[@TheRunTesters]

We're on the case. Coming soon.

[@viswasundar.murugan]

I got Jaybird Vista 2 from eBay UK in an Auction for 65£. Is it worth?

[@amnbe2978]

They never work properly they keep disconnecting when u switch between aps or even when u skip music , sometimes just one of them is working and I have to reseat them milion time, they are not water proof as they advertise I just sweet alittbe bit with them than the volume is become too low, I SERIUOSLY DONT UNDERSTAND YOU KZbin PEOPLE HOW YOU DONT TEL HOW TERRIBLE THEY ARE
