Our Verdict
Jaybird Run XT Truly Wireless
Jaybird Vista Truly Wireless
The Jaybird Vista and Jaybird Run XT Truly Wireless are very similar sports headphones, but the Vista are a slight improvement. They are a bit more comfortable, and their case is noticeably smaller, which makes it easier to slide it in your pockets. Their controls are easier to press, and they feel a bit better built, as well. They also offer a bit more battery life. On the other hand, the Run XT take less time to charge, and their fit isolates better against ambient noise.
