Back in September of 2011, I wrote about the Jaybird Freedom headphones that claimed to be sweatproof.
Over a year later, I'm happy to say that these things are still going strong, and I absolutely love them. They stay in my ear while cycling. I don't know about running because I don't run with headphones (mostly because I don't like the player having to be strapped on me somewhere or carried).
They sound great, too!
Battery life is good enough for two full workouts of about two hours each.
I haven't lost the charging cord yet. It's not a standard cord, so I have to keep track of this thing.
The nice little case it came in has not been used at all. It's a waste of money. I would prefer to save $5-10 on the packaging. I guess my two year old likes to open and close it, so I it gets some use.
The only problem I've had is build-up of earwax in the buds. I have to clean that out every now and then, and it's kind of gross. Nothing serious, but I would rather not have to deal with it.
I am tempted to try the Jabras and the new Motorolas, but I can't justify spending money on new headphones when I have a great pair already. I'm sticking with these until they don't work anymore.
But Jaybird has some new versions that look REALLY GREAT and tempting. I can't see spending over $150 on headphones, though.
