Jaybird Reveals Freedom And X3 Bluetooth Headphones At CES, Available Later In 2016

 We've had Bluetooth technology for the better part of two decades now, so it's surprising that it's still so hard to find a decent pair of headphones that use it. One of the more consistently good brands for wireless headphones, at least of the sporty variety, has been Jaybird. The company's using CES to show off the newest entries in its product lineup, and by "newest," I mean it will be three to six months at the earliest before you see either of them. Meet the Jaybird Freedom, an ostensibly new design (despite the fact that the company has used the "Freedom" name on models before), and the Jaybird X3, the latest revision of the popular original and the more recent X2.

The Freedom earbuds are meant to be the smaller and less obtrusive of the two options. While the slim buds are still connected with a wire between them, the speaker modules themselves are tiny, which should be a boon to anyone who has especially small earlobes. "Enhanced comfort ear fins" and memory foam tips will also help in that regard. Jaybird says that the Freedom buds should be good for eight hours of listening time, and they come with an inline metal remote. They won't come cheap: when they launch in Q2 they'll cost you $199.95 at retail, no matter which one of the five color options you choose.

The Jaybird X3 is the more conventional option, with a "SignalPlus" Bluetooth antenna that makes for a more reliable connection outdoors, plus passive noise isolation, a sweat-proof design, and the same trademark "earfins" as the previous model. Despite being larger, these buds have a slightly shorter 7 hour battery life. Like the Freedom the X3 model includes an in-line remote, and both of them need a separate app on Android or iOS to take care of the software equalizer and other goodies. The X3 will cost a more reasonable $149.95 when it hits retailers in Q3, and you'll be able to pick from five colors.
