Decent Buds, Mid-Level App
I came from the X3/X4 generation, so the Vistas were something I had to get used to. I prefer connected buds for various reasons, but it’s unlikely JayBird will ever produce more, so it’s a moot point. My Vistas are good, but not nearly as loud or bassy as the X3/X4’s. They’re loud, but could be louder. Sometimes either bud has issues connecting to their container for charging, despite wiping down both sets of contact points (in case and on buds). I’m not sure what the issue is, but it’s frustrating. On both the X3/X4s and the Vistas, the right bud has problems staying in my ear, but that’s probably an anatomy issue and not on JayBird. Lastly, and the point of this review, is the maddening inability to turn off any sort of noise cancelling on the buds. You HAVE to have the option of using either active noise cancelling or a form of “noise bypass” that lets ambient noise in… or OFF. Can I get the option to disable noise cancelling or amplification OFF entirely, please? There’s a button combination on the buds that turns the noise cancellation/amplification on and I have randomly turned it on before on accident, which, if I had the option to disable it entirely, wouldn’t be a problem at all. I did not buy these for noise cancellation/amplification, I bought them for music in my ears. Please give us this option WITHOUT having to pick cancellation or amplification.
