Notes:

Design (4/5)

• Very small form factor.
• Easy to identify buttons.
• Nice voice and tone feedback.
• Blocks some external noise, and they stay in ear (when using the right size and hooks)

Comfort (3/5)

• First day were quite uncomfortable, wanted to take them off within 20 minutes.

• Next day my ears got used to them enough to have them on for 3 hours.

• Ear canal heat is blocked.

• It amplifies natural feedback (ie you can hear sounds from your teeth chewing food)

Bluetooth (4/5)

• Not APT-X technology.

• Easy to pair.
• Bad with X230T, not good for video.

• Good with iPod Nano 7G (excellent range)

Audio quality (4/5)

• Loud, very clear vocals.

• Good bass.

• No annoying white noise.

• This is not Bluetooth Apt-X, but it's very good audio.

• I feel that overall the audio quality is good, but not great.

How I got the BlueBuds X

---

Around December 2012 I got an email from Melissa G. (Brand & Relations Coordinator at JayBird). I ignored the email as I no longer accept "review" units. In my mind getting things for "free" can tweak my mind and my opinions. In January 2013 I learned about the BlueBuds X and grew a desire to test them, and I recalled that JayBird had sent me an email. While I refused to get a "free" review unit I accepted a discounted one, and then I requested a coupon code so JayBird could give my readers/viewers a discount. I don't get a commission when people use the coupon, but if you are interested then take advantage of it. Enjoy!
