I just got my hands on both the Jaybird Blue Buds X and the BackBeat Go 2 because I couldn't decided which to get. I bought both and plan on returning one of them in the next couple of days. I've had both for a day now and did some testing.

I found something interesting, when I paired the headphones to my phone, which is a Nexus 5, the Jaybirds sounded louder and had the bigger bass. I set the volume to max on both headphones and had the same volume level on the phone. Then when I paired both to my Macbook, the Backbeat Go 2 was considerably louder and had bigger bass.

Now the Backbeat Go 2 is a lot cheaper, so when I connected them to the Macbook, I was sold on the BBG2. But when connected to my phone my JBBX was louder. This is where I got stuck because I'm going to be connected to my phone most of the time so the Jaybirds win.. for now. I'm still trying to test different songs with my phone because I really want the BBG2 to be somewhat on par with the Jaybirds since I want to save money. Ill post back after I return one of them and give my final thoughts and the reason why I kept the one I did. Peace
[General Accessories] kcdcmd:
I'm wondering if it could possibly be something Apt-X related. Since the BBG2 doesn't support Apt-X, perhaps that's why there's a difference. Does the Macbook support it?
[General Accessories] fade2black101:
The macbook does... my Jaybirds sound great on my late 2013 macbook.

In regards to the charging case... Does it automatically turn off and stop consuming power once the earphones are fully charged?
[General Accessories] thisguyeh:
Yes it stops once the earphones are charged. One thing I noticed the charging case would only charge the bbg2 and nothing else.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Are you sure you had the micro-usb connector plugged in all the way? I just tried it with my Note 2 and other accessories, it charges perfectly. But with Note 2, while using a case on, I had to push the plug in harder. Also since I can monitor charging speed on Note 2, I can confirm the case only supplies 450 mA of current. Makes sense since it's designed for headphones and small accessory charging which doesn't require high capacity or high speed.
[General Accessories] bjohnxbjohn:
Hi there, sorry, I just read your post.

Unfortunately, I don't own an Anker powerbank and I bought a (very) lousy powerbank. I gave up to test it with my BBG2 before it spoil.

Would like to hear from other user for this too since I saw quite a number of users thumbs up for Anker.

But he's wrong anyway. The newer macbooks all support APT-X. I'd also say they're pretty user friendly too.
[General Accessories] thisguyeh:
Yes I'm sure . I tried charging 2 of my jawbone headsets and neither of them would charge.
[General Accessories] vectron:
With Jawbone, they might be drawing very little current. With a number of external battery chargers you need at least 100mA before it kicks in. With smartphone - it shouldn't be a problem.

Phone call quality

How are these with phone calls? Can it announce the caller ID? can it use voice commands to make a call?

Thx
[General Accessories] l5s5d6:
I have talked with them paired to my s3. People could hear me well even though there have been some noisy background. I could hear them well too. When I got a call my music player stopped and I could hear ringtone from the phone itself but from the headset just beeps. I didn't use voice prompts so i can't

Confirm if this works or not for now (maybe it has to be configured somehow)

Hope it helps

anybody have an issue with these experiencing "blips" in music frequently? it's like half a second of silence. only experienced it with these buds, which i finally settled on after trying out the bluebuds and ankers.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Could it be that you are having an issue with BT connection? Strange, never happened to me and I don't recall reading about anything similar before. Try to see if the problem continuous if you pair BBG2 with another phone or a tablet. I used to have a problem streaming from my Nexus 7 (with wireless speaker) where audio used to drop out but later found it was due to some app which I had to uninstall.
[General Accessories] l5s5d6:
I had this problem and the solution was installing bcm4334_murata.zip

Thanks for the response and even more so for this review, vectron. May I ask which app you uninstalled? I will try the unit on my pc. I'm using a note 3 so I can't see why it would be a hardware issue

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

What zip file is that? Did you have to load it in recovery?

Listening time which I assume you are asking is about 3 hours maybe. I listen to my music kind of loud. A little disappointed about that but I have a portable battery I keep with me. The 20 charger isn't all that worth it. For the same price I got a 10000 mah external battery.
[General Accessories] l5s5d6:
Yes, you install it via recovery. Simply Google it and you should find it. Worked for me. I can also send it to you if you can't find it (then pm me).

And Yes I meant listening "time" (damn auto correct ). I get about the same :(

Oh boy, you guys remember how excited I was about BackBeat Go 2. A detailed review in the original post, and comparison to BlueBuds X and Anker 4.0 in the 2nd post of this thread. BBG2 always came up on the top for a very long time... until now. I just got new Jabra ROX and it destroys in sound quality and design/functionality all those other sports wireless headsets... Will have a detailed review in a day or two.

Foam size.

Hi mate... I was so grateful to found this review. I owned a unit but unfortunately even the smallest foam seems to fall off from my ear. Is it only TSX 500 is the only foam that compatible with PBG2?

And from my experience, NW273 smallest ear foam fit comfortably to my ear and I notice it's smaller than stock PBG2 ear foam. So I wondering how is the size comparison for TSX 500 and stock PBG2 ear foam.
[General Accessories] vectron:
I have every Comply foam tip size, and 500 was the one that worked the best. You need a wide bore eartip because the eartip of these headphones is pretty wide. BBG2 stock is silicone, so it stretches. With Comply, inner sleeve of the tip is plasticy and not as stretchy, so you need to use a correct size. Also, with Comply foam, I use medium tips while with silicone I use large tips. So perhaps that can help you in figuring out the correct size of foams? Or better yet, Comply sells a pack with 3 different sizes, so initially when you buy it - you can try each to determine which one works for a future reference ;)

With foam its different since you compress it and it will fit inside of a smaller opening, but the amount of foam when it pushes back can be uncomfortable if it's too much. So, I would recommend for you to get a variety pack with 3 different sizes.
[General Accessories] diaBoliQu3:
I owned Shure SE 215 LE and use the smallest too so my guess small is my size. :D I do notice the bore is larger compared to other IEM that I owned. Is there any such thing as XS for Comply Foam? I

BTW, have you tried PBG ear foam for PBG2? I mean Comply Foam version. And what do you mean 500 is the best? Is due to the wider bore compared to the 100, 200 and the rest? Any of 500 is recommended or TSX version should be good in my case? I'm quite confused with the website.:eek:

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 AM ----------

How if I get S 500? Can it fit PBG2? Is it the 100, 200, 300 etc referring to the bore size? And the T, S, TSX etc represent their version etc? I'm more to sport since it has the sport tag but based on your experience, which among these series is better for workout and running? Ai, so many questions. Sorry. :D
[General Accessories] l5s5d6:
I used 500's but 2 pairs just tore themself. It's ripped now and I'm back to original bb2 which are fine.

I don't know why they did that after a month of use each

[General Accessories] vectron:
With Comply tips: S is active, less isolation so you can hear surrounding while exercising, and there is no wax guard foam. T - is isolation, more dense foam to isolate outside noise (passive noise filtering) and no wax guard foam. Ts - has a shorter and more rounded design in comparison to T, so it doesn't go as deep into your ear. Tx - same as T but with ear wax guard foam barrier, stops ear wax from getting into headphones or on to headphone bore cover mesh. Tsx - the same as Ts with ear wax guard.

Numbers corresponding to a diameter of the ear tip opening. 500 had the best fitment for BBG2. Sorry, I don't have original BBG and don't think they will be compatible because Comply page lists size 200 for original BBG while BBG2 need 500.

Don't worry about them being bigger than you expect, it's a foam - you squeeze it to put into your ear and then it will expand to "fill" in the space ;)
[General Accessories] vectron:
I had one that ripped on me as well, but I think it was a wrong size so I had hard time getting it off and ripped some foam by mistake. In your case, I'm not really sure. Maybe it was dried out and cracked? Can you exchange under warranty?
[General Accessories] diaBoliQu3:
Awww, that's a bad news. Maybe it's isn't your luck mate. PBG2 stock ear bud is indeed good but it's too large for me. It look durable.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

Such a detail explanation. :good: From what I see in the website, T and Ts series have same length. Luckily you have them all to tell they got different measurement.:D Do you have comparison photo, side by side BTW? I guess T sit deeper than S inside your ear right?

Now torn between T and Ts series.:eek: Judging from the photo and your explanation, seems like T is more suitable for workout.

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

What do you mean wrong size mate? 500 on PBG2?
[General Accessories] l5s5d6:
Mine ripped after about 1 month of use. They are hard to put on the bb2 because the hole is 5mms and the bb2 are 6 mm wide. But it's doable. The size was good for me. I don't know. Maybe the way I adjust the earbuds our something.

Hi I 'm thinking about buying this product tomorrow but one of the store recommend me denon sport freak awh150 as it has bigger bass and it stays perfectly still in your ear while running and working out,design wise I prefer BB2G coz it's more compact,,I'm gonna use it for working out,treadmill,and for traveling.what do you think of this product compare to BB2G?Sound Quality?I got a good deal for brand new BB2G for around $75 incl.case charger and for denon awh150 for $140.thanks.:laugh:
[General Accessories] vectron:
Denon is $99 on amazon, but it looks like junk. 273 reviews with 156 being 1/2/3 stars comments (a total of 105 1-star comments is awful) with people complaining about quality. Considering it's a 2 year old design, and enhanced "bass" reference means it will be pounding in your head with bass and hardly any mids/treble, stay away from Denon. Sounds like that store is trying to get rid of their old stock...

[General Accessories] vectron:
You can use any charger. The way headphones and the case are designed, they will only pull as much current as they need. So even if your charger can supply 2A of current, these will not sink that much, only whatever is required (I'm guessing around 150mA for headphones and maybe 500mA for the case).

Comply Earphone tips

I just got my Comply Large earbud tips because my BBP2 kept falling out of my ears. I know that the site says it doesn't make the tips for this specific model, but I was going off of your recommendation. The issue I was having was getting these suckers on. The base was much larger than the holes in the Comply tips. Is this your experience as well? I really had to work to get them to fit on to the headset.
[General Accessories] l5s5d6:
Yes the base is 6mm while the hole is standard 5mm

I'm a real bass head and these are fine for me. They are just slightly less bassy then the Jaybird Bluebuds X. The bluebuds battery life is also a lot longer .The build quality and accessories for the BBG2 is really impressive.

My only gripe us that you can't charge and use them at the same time. For this reason I will have to buy 2, because one pair doesn't last the whole day.
[General Accessories] Legaleye3000:
I'm really torn - the OP's reviews at the beginning of this thread is awesome, but then I saw the OP's much later post about doing a review on the Jabra Rox, but didn't see it. Did I miss it?

I bought the Bluebuds X this week before hearing about the Rox and Go 2. I'm torn. I thought the Bluebuds X sounded pretty good but I felt it was uncomfortable. But will all of them be this way and the only way to fix it is to buy the Comply tips? If so, then comfort shouldn't really be in the reviews if its a must to buy the Comply tips, agreed?

I don't know if I should get the Go 2 or Rox or keep the Bluebuds X...?! I like punchy bass (these will be used at the gym), but I also like a lot of detail and don't want to miss out on the little things (high-hat hits, etc.).

THANK YOU for any responses!

Do you want me to confuse you even more? I should receive next week a review sample of these: http://www.meelec.com/Air_Fi_Metro2_AF72_Wireless_In_Ear_Headset_p/ep-af72-bk-mee.htm ;)

I'm torn as well, since after awhile I found BBX and BBG2 to be not as comfortable and requiring Comply tips to stay in my ears. ROX have a great sound, but I absolutely hate their magnetic "pairing". You turn them off, they attach magnetically to stay together, and just a slight movement causing magnets to come apart - they pair up automatically with your phone even when you don't know about it. Now, how do you suppose to store them without magnets coming apart? That Meelec version is an update to the one with a direct micro-usb connection since the 1st one used a proprietary charging clip. Will see in a week ;)
[General Accessories] Legaleye3000:
I just got the Rox and prefer them over the BBX. I think it has great sound, but I thought the fit was the most comfortable out of a bunch that I have tried. The thing with me is that I am not opposed to sticking with wired earphones. Right now its between the Rox and Bose Freestyle. What I just realized with the Rox is that when I run, I hear a big "BOOM" with each footstep I take which gets annoying REALLY FAST. Maybe because its due to the Rox having such a great isolation/seal for me.

Thanks for the reply.

Doesn't charge fully

Hi guys.

I am facing a serious issue with my BB GO2. When I charge it from a charger directly, it charges fully, as shown by the battery meter widget on my HOX. But when I charge it from the charging case it charges upto about 75% and then the red charging led just turns off. I have never seen it go from red to blue while charging from my charging case. This gives me about 3 hours of music. But when I charge it directly from the charger, it charges completely and gives me about 5 hours of music. My charging case is fully charged and even with the charging case plugged in to the charger I face the same problem. Anyone else have this issue...? I have had my charging case replaced 3 times but the problem is still there. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[General Accessories] vectron:
It is weird. Do you drain your headphones completely before you charge it from the case? Wondering if its a problem with your headphones (it's internal battery), since you replaced a case a few times already. Typically when you charge it from a wall charger, those are more robust and will supply current even if you are not drawing too much current (headphones might need only 100mA-150mA of current, while for example your phone charges at 2000mA current speed). But when you are using external batteries, which is what this case is all about, they need a minimum current from a connected device to start charging. I'm just thinking out-loud, but if your internal to headphones battery is faulty where when it reaches 75% capacity it slows down the charging, your case maybe we turning off when that happens while using external wall charger - it continuous going.
[General Accessories] sonalswaroop:
Ya actually I have tried draining them fully before charging as well. Doesn't work. Looks like I have no other option but to get them replaced. Again. I don't want the plantronics service guys to think that I am a deucebag trying to give them a hard time or something, but looks like there's no other way out.

BBX cable clips for BBG2 ?

My question is, would the bluebuds cable manager clips work on the backbeats? Wondering if the cables of each are about the same width and thickness. i want the backbeats but the cable management of the Bluebuds would be neccesary. I won a pair of the bluebuds and gave them away to my girlfriend and the cable manager clips are great; sounds quality not so much. Figured since you have both it woudl be easy for you to check before i purchase the backbeats. thanks.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Don't have either of those anymore, but I think BBG2 cable was a bit thicker than BBX. Also, I would NOT recommend using that cable manager clip. After a while the cable will develop a "memory" effect, it adds stress to the wires, and if you decide to take it off it will have an annoying kink (try straightening it out, and you can break the cable).

So my bb2 died on me. Would not charge at all. I thought it was done. Left it alone for 2 days and it worked again lol. I bought these less than a year ago. Tried contacting plantronics to get them replaced and they said its out of warranty while it clearly had a 1 year warranty. The pouch does not charge it to 100%. Only charges to 75% and stops.

Hey guys

I've had my PBBG2 for about 8 weeks now, and they're absolutely bloody fantastic. The only downside I've found, is unlike headphones that are connected to your device, if you don't notice they've fallen off your shoulders it can be a frightening time! :)

I was grabbing a coffee at Starbucks on the motorway services about a week after I got these, typical dark, cold, wet, 5am on a British morning... I took my coat off and threw it in the back of the car but didn't notice these were now on the ground :eek:

I noticed when I got a call from a colleague about 45 minutes later, so promptly spun the car around and went to the last place I'd been.

They were in a puddle, had clearly been run over (possibly by me pulling out of the parking space), they looked very sad. But they worked as if I'd just taken them out of the box, and still do!

These things will take a battering! But I am curious...

Has anyone used a non OEM charger with these? Like your run of the mill Micro USB plugged into the wall? Normally I wouldn't hesitate to use my Nexus 6 charger with my HTC M8, or my Nexus 9 charger with my watch...but something niggles me about doing it with these!

Have any of you guys used a standard wall charger rather than the Plantronics charger? Did the blow up when you put them in and switched them on? Do they even still work? Am I worrying about nothing?

Would appreciate any responses :silly:

I got these earbuds recently, I am hating them. Too bad I cant return them now since the return period is over. Two things killing the experience for me is that they just dont stay in my ears, no matter what tips I use they wont say in my ears. 2nd Bass is on the weaker side but I am thinking that is due to the 1st reason, I am probably not getting a good seal.
