Running Without Wires – A Review of the Jaybird Wireless Bluetooth Headphones

If you're like me, an iPod is an essential accessory running. When running, listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. to help pass the time. In winter, could not survive on a treadmill without some form of distraction, and television in the basement or my laptop placed on a platform in front of the machine are as necessary as the treadmill itself. The only problem with this is how to get the sound produced by these devices in their ears. Wired headset as the white headphones that come with the iPod are not manageable, although the cable can be annoying, but on a tape the child become a major nuisance. Most of the time, I found the cable to continue with my arm, and more than once almost pulled my iPod out of the tape from the console. Enter the Jaybird Bluetooth wireless headphones.I had been looking for a wireless headset for some time, but most were too large or that do not appear to be well adapted to the different situations I encounter (also also have to endure the sweat produced by running). Given the price of many of these helmets ($ 100 +), not making a purchase unless I did, but it might work for me. Recently I came across the Jaybird headset line, and the early reviews I read seemed very positive. The agreement expressly jays have many assets, a major selling point is that they are waterproof and sweat. The jays are expensive (~ $ 140 for the model compatible with iPod), but I steeled myself since I thought it could solve a series of operations related to audio problems. I bought the headset compatible with iPod and an additional adapter that allows them to synchronize with any device with earphones jack.After usually about 3 months of use, I must say I am really impressed by this little gadget. The sound they produce is good (I'm not an audiophile, but it sounds almost as good as the iPod headphones), which synchronizes seamlessly and quickly through Bluetooth with all devices I've tested (including iPod TV, stereo , laptop, sound cards on treadmills, etc.) and are very comfortable despite its size (I hardly noticed the running, and went up to 15 miles on them). The headset and adapter from the headphone jack are rechargeable via an included dock, and the burden seems to be pretty good (I can not say that when a position requires that the sound is blurred, but after a load it working well again). The iPod adapter works with the iPod (no charging required), and does not seem to add much of a noticeable drain on the iPod battery. Finally, it is waterproof and sweat, making them ideal for those wishing to use during the year (that would be perfect for strength training and you cut the cable the picture was complete – ie there is no variety of problems moving or copying the iPod). One of my favorite features of this headset is that I can control volume and song before the iPod using the controls on the headphones themselves. So I spend my Nano with the receiver in a jacket pocket and internal control fully playing with my ear. I'm sure I look like an idiot to do better, but hey, it works! Positive side, there are some small problems that need to be mentioning.One problem I had with these headphones (and is frequently mentioned in some of the comments on Amazon) is that the cable connecting the two side curtains back of the neck (of what I understand, this thread allows both parties to share power). When you start to sweat, the cable tends to stick, which is annoying and can sometimes dislodge the earpiece from one side or the other. The cable can also be a problem if you wear a racing jacket with zip up collar all-the-road. I worked around this problem by placing a plastic clip adjustment in the band the size of a baseball cap, then thread wire through the clip. This is the thread up in the middle, and thus prevents crashes in the neck. Solved.My real demand problem only other unit on the headphones Jaybird is not always fixed, and I have to push the ear from time to time. I guess the adjustment varies considerably
