Jaybird Freedom F5 Wireless 2016
Beats BeatsX Wireless
The Beats BeatsX Wireless are about as practical as the Jaybird Freedom F5 Wireless 2016 for most use cases. The Beats have a better-balanced sound quality but lack an EQ. They also have a more durable build, a faster-charging battery, and a much better wireless range and latency performance than the Jaybird, especially when using them with iOS devices. On the other hand, the Jaybird offer sound customizable and aren't as limited on Android as the BeatsX, which makes them slightly more suitable for a wider selection of listeners. The Jaybird also have a longer battery life overall thanks to the four additional hours provided by the charging clip. Their smaller earbuds are slightly more comfortable to wear for most listeners.
