Our Verdict

Jaybird Run Truly Wireless

XFYRO xS2 Truly Wireless

The Jaybird Run Truly Wireless are better headphones than the XFYRO xS2 Truly Wireless. The Jaybird have a more comfortable and better-built design. They also have a sound profile that follows our neutral target curve better, and they also have a companion app that lets you EQ them to your preference. Their stability fins are also very useful for more intense sports, and the headphones won’t come out of your ears. However, the XFYRO have better wireless range and better isolation performance, which make them a decent option for commuting.
