Huh, that's creative! I'll give that a shot.. I've got plenty of spare tips to experiment with.

despite great effort i found it exceptionally difficult to get them to sit well with cable over the ear. they really should use a round cable. also the cable is very microphonic, much like the older etymotics.

I'd like to order these, but am a little worried about the quality when making phone calls (since there is no noise cancellation). I very often call when biking in my home city. Can anyone compare it with, for instance, the Apple or dr. Dre earbuds? Any comments on this subject or maybe any other recommendation?

What size comply tips work with these? I bought the ones listed on the comply website,the t-500 I think, but they were too small. I had to stretch them with pliers for a while to get them to fit... Anyone else have this problem? Is there something I'm overlooking?

[COLOR=FF8C00]Unbelivble![/COLOR] For several years passed, Jaybird Bluebuds X still the best bluetooth earphone! The next two are the LG Tone Infinim HBS-900 and Plantronics Backbeat GO 2 earbuds. 




I have the Jaybirds and the LG Tone infinim (HBS-900) and tbh I prefer the LG ones. The Jaybirds are great but I find the sound slightly better on the LG imo.

I've used them for phone calls and I never had an issue with them ever quality wise

Looking at the specifications it seems to be the same exact thing sound wise but is with new colors

 
According to the blurb, they changed other things. But yes, it's weird that they should claim to have doubled the battery life when in fact it's stayed the same.
 
Still, I don't want to believe they'd call it a new model if they only added colors. That'd be dishonest.

Eh I'll wait until the reviews coming in. I am happy with my bluebuds X though

It's a bit of a problem because the microphonics of the cable are absolutely terrible when under-ear, or you get reversed channels when over-ear.  It would seem to be a simple firmware change to reverse them too, but of course unlike some other Bluetooth headsets and headphones, Jaybird doesn't do user-updated firmware.
Seems I am having the same issue with microphonics. Also, when I am in a noisy environment it is difficult for the other end to hear me during a call...
