Jaybird SB1 Sportsband Bluetooth Headphones review

 

Announced last month, Jaybird's SB1 Sportsband Bluetooth Headphones may be intended for gym-goers - in fact they come with a lifetime guarantee against sweat -

JayBird SB1 Sportsband Bluetooth Stereo Headphones

 

When it comes to headphones, it is obvious that sound quality is likely the number one thing that people look for. There are some other things that people also consider, like features included and design. One of the big features that is available...

The JayBird SB1 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones display exceptional quality in their build. They are easy to use and priced right. Everyone has their own opinion, and in my opinion, they just lacked in the total sound quality that I was looking for. If...

Poor Quality Product

 

Bought a pair of these based on the marketing that they are athletic headphones meant for working out and training in. The first pair I bought made through one 2 hour workout and then next day only worked for about 20 min before the volume began...

Lightweight, comfortable and stay in place well

Product breaks after ~4 hours of athletic use and exposed to sweat

Best headphones I've ever had

 

Excellent quality of sound. They fit comfortably on my head or any of my friends heads. Works great with iphones and ipod touches

after six months the foam around the ears started falling off, easily fixable. didn't work well with the adapter for the regular ipod. this might have changed since they developed a new adapter

Never received the product, was still charged shipping?

 

AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE THE PLAGUE. They have no interest in working with a customer, or providing anything that resembles service.

Nothing good to say, since they were never received

Company told me that an omission on the address was all my fault, and told me I'd have to pay double shipping charges. They lost a $200 sale (and would not refund an $11 shipping charge for an item never received)

Fantastic...while they lasted

 

I purchased these headphones in June of 2010. My experiences were 5-star until recently when the battery died. Since my vast experience was positive I only knocked off 2-stars. Let's start with the good stuff: Prior to the Jaybirds, I had a competing...

Works well but short life

 

The product works well. I used it with 3 different phones and it always paired without issue. The music quality was fine, however it loses sound quality if you increase the volume too much. What is disappointing is the short life span of the...

Was great while they lasted

 

I had these for roughly 2 weeks and now there dead. They we're fine yesterday (Last workout) but I went to charge them and nothing. I sweat pretty bad so I'll be testing the warranty. I didn't buy them from Newegg because my S-9's died and I needed...

I'm 6'3 and I thought these would be a tight fit but they we're actually very comfortable ; The sound is very good, I had S-9's before and these sound much better

Cost ; Lasted less than 2 weeks. I hit the gym 4 times a week
