Jaybird Freedom Bluetooth sports headphones review: Lots to like, but not without some flaws

Jaybird got many things right with its new Freedom, including excellent sound quality, but some of its design choices are questionable.

The Jaybird Freedom has a slimmer design and offers a more comfortable fit than its predecessors. It offers excellent sound for an in-ear Bluetooth sports headphone, is sweatproof, and offers good battery life when you include the extra four hours you...

Inline remote is a little too heavy; if you lose the battery clip, you can't charge the headphones; should cost less.

The Jaybird Freedom is in many ways the best Jaybird headphone yet -- and a strong wireless in-ear sports headphone -- but a few design flaws and its high price tag spoil the package.

Jaybird Freedom

The Jaybird Freedom ranks among the tiniest, sleekest, and priciest wireless earphone pairs we've seen.

Small, stylish, sweat-resistant design. Lots of accessories included. Good sound reaching down into the low-mids.

Expensive. Almost non-existent sub-bass. Finding the right fit can be frustrating.

Performance and Conclusions The Freedom certainly isn't the most thunderous pair of earphones we've tested. The good news is that it handled our bass test track, The Knife's "Silent Shout," without a hint of distortion. The bad news is that it didn't...

Jaybird Freedom JF3 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Review

The JayBird name is a staple when it comes to Bluetooth wireless audio accessories for those who have active lifestyles. The Freedom are the latest wireless Bluetooth headphones to come out from Jaybird, which has not long ago released an updated...

Overall, I think JayBird's Freedom wireless Bluetooth headphones aren't bad for the $99 price tag, but at the same time I also think they need to be improved greatly. If you're looking for that sweat-proof wireless Bluetooth headset/headphones for the...

Review: Jaybird Freedom Bluetooth headphones

Although it works for listening to music wirelessly, the Jaybird Freedom Bluetooth JB-200 provides tinny sound and an awkward design.

Pairing the JB-200 is quick and painless. The same can’t be said for using its buttons. They’re tiny, and they’re placed oddly on the thin edge of the ear clips, instead of the wider side. And because the JB-200 is meant to be water-resistant and...

Reviews: JayBird Gear JF3 Freedom Bluetooth Wireless Headphones

When you consider what wireless headphones looked like only five years ago—and looks turn out to be really important for this type of product—JF3's improvements are surely non-trivial. Etymotic sold the large, boxy ety8 headset for $200, almost...

Overall, JF3 is as good of a wireless headphone solution for 2011 as its aforementioned predecessors were back in 2006 and 2009. JayBird got the price and basic features right—it’s offering a sport-ready, sweat-proof Bluetooth headset for under...

Jaybird Freedom

Jaybird's a fledgling audio company when compared to some of its veteran rivals. What the plucky upstart does have going for it is a laser-like focus on sports and recreational headphones. Where other audio companies might have a sporty offering or...

The Jaybird Freedom require a lot of setup time, but it’s worth it if you need a secure fit from your sports headphones.
