What is the Jaybird Run?

True wireless earbuds are hot in the headphones market right now and there is no better use for them than for exercise. When you look around at the various ‘neckband’ designs that bounce on your neck or get in the way, to be liberated of cables in any form makes even more sense.

The Jaybird Run constitute the fitness audio specialist’s first foray into this area, and it achieves this by applying the know-how it’s acquired over years of making sweat-resistant, secure-fitting headphones for fitness fanatics.

Jaybird describes the RUN model as ‘radically freeing’ for runners. As someone desperate to get rid of the cords that accompany me on my morning run, I was pretty excited to get my hands on a pair and they didn’t disappoint. Thanks to Bluetooth and a high-quality build, the sound is rich and sharp. I’m also happy to report they stayed snuggly put.

With one click of a control button, you can take calls, pause music, skip tracks, and activate Siri or Google Assistant. You don’t need to wear both earpieces, so you can listen while staying aware of your surroundings.

If your ears are a non-standard size, don’t stress – RUN comes with a selection of interchangeable tips and fins to ensure everyone gets a snug fit.
