TOUGH NEW BIRD Jaybird Vista 2

Handling repeated shocks, vibration, and even industrial amounts of sweat, these are the toughest earbuds we've ever tried

Having used their predecessor, our expectations of the Jaybird Vista 2 were sky high. We were worried the new buds wouldn't A) justify the hefty price tag, or B) deliver the workout experience we expected. Thankfully, the Vista 2 are so much better than their predecessor that they're among the best buds money can buy.

The Jaybird Vista 2 aren't tiny but they are comparatively smaller than earhook-style headphones such as the Beats Powerbeats Pro, weighing a mere 6 grams. When it comes to personalised fit, the Vista 2 buds offer single-piece ear gels that combine ear and wing tips in three set sizes, making it harder to find the perfect fit for every ear. We appreciate Jaybird is trying to make the process hassle-free, but it would be better to have an option to customise the ear tips and wing tips separately.
