"Hard to fit to your ears"

Not worth the money. I have given them a shot...

Comfortable to wear

Even following the booklet indications, they never fit right in my ears

JayBird JB-100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Not worth the money. I have given them a shot for 6 months now and I still do not like the way they fit and I am losing a lot of volume and bass levels precisely because they are fitting right. Don't get them.

Comfortable to wear

Even following the booklet indications, they never fit right in my ears

not as good as the advert, bad customer service

bad customer service is what prompted me to write this review. In this day and age when a product breaks down within a few days it seems reasonable that the company will send a pre paid envelope to teh customer to have it returned. this company places...

looks cool, great for mobile phone but not for itouch

Unit does not work with itouch to make calls via skype. controls very small and fiddly. sound quality tolerable. does not work with itouch below elbow height. customer has to pay all shipping costs to return faulty unit. mine broke in two days

Good idea. Not a good product yet.

Pretty cool website and slick packaging but product has some drawbacks. I bought the Jaybird with the iPod adapter. BIGGEST DRAWBACK - TO USE FOR STEREO PLAYBACK IT IS RECOMMENDED TO BE WITHIN 2 FEET OF THE TRANSMITTER. This is not an a conservative...

Light weight. Nice packaging. Good documentation

Poor fit. Terrible sound. Worse bluetooth connectivity

Buyer beware

Stay away. neither product nor company can deliver what's promised.

indoors it gives decent, but not great sound

Outdoors inacceptable quality (music seems to "speed up" and "slow down ; Company is unorganized (first sent wrong item, then no refund, even so I send it back per their instructions and with RMA#, package "got lost" in factory)

Defective out of the box

Bottom line, I really like these headphones, despite the problems I'm having, and granted my next pair don't break! Wireless alone is all I need, and they are pretty comfy. Volume works good, buttons are a little awkward to press, but probably just...

Despite what the cnet correspondent says, the buttons actually do advance/go back tracks. If you hold the keys, it raises/lowers the volume, tapping is next/previous, per the owners manual. Wireless = it's ABOUT TIME! Volume I thought was fine

Put the headphones in for the first time, played around with them, took them out and tried a different ear bud cover, and the earbud broke off from the ear piece assembly. Had to send them back. Going to try one more before I throw in the towel

I have (very) small ears and they fit great!

I wore it all around the house doing dishes, mopping, going on the computer, and it worked great. Can't wait to wear it to they gym! It is much better than I was expecting for the price!

The connection is easy and automatic. They are very low profile. When I asked my year old son how he like my new headphones he looked around the room trying to find them. I even put them on my son's ears he did not complain of any pain or irritation

The buttons are a little hard to push, but not so bad that I wouldn't have bought it if I had known. And yes, it is a little lacking in the bass department, but still very good sound. It doesn't sound tinny or cheap

Definitely has pros and cons

Have only used for a week or so but pretty good. Could not get my laptop to connect with them so I will have to use the adapter instead. The buttons are a bit difficult to push as they are very stiff but worked well to advance to next song. Volume is a...

Easy to wear when you have a heavy coat or other outerwear that goes around your neck. I haven't used other brands but I imagine the ones that are stiff would be a problem with bulky clothes on. Sound is good

Difficult for girls smaller ears. I will still use but they definitely need to make smaller earbuds for smaller ears-my ears are sore after I take them off

JayBird JB-100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset

I"m writing this review because I really have to say I"m extremely angered and dissapointed at the overall lack of effort that went into the hardware design of this product. They are obviously not only using 2nd rate hardware, but also using 2nd...

Honestly the only Pro I can give this product is that its a good idea that is very very poorly executed

Poor Bluetooth Dongle Signal
