Specifically for RUNNING Jaybird were *the best* without peer - fit, comfort, control - the lot Jaybird's Version 2 made some odd design choices & had too many faults - it's like they did some R&D but didn't fund or trial the actual product. Apparently they were bought by Logitech, who were more interested in office wearables & branching out into gaming. They didn't even try to hide it - I had a number of faulty products, issues they obviously knew about - & they'd straight up offer you replacement with desktop products or cash back. Honestly, great that they were willing to stump up, but they owned a product with cult following in the running community.. ..I could never understand why they deliberately killed Jaybird's off.
