Bose SoundSport (SIE2) vs Jaybird X2

The SoundSport earpieces are designed to stay in when running or performing other intense activity.

SoundSport earbuds with iOS controls are available in blue, green and orange. The Samsung Galaxy (Android) model comes only in green.

Because these earbuds are intended for exercise, they let in outside sound so users can remain safe and alert.

These earbuds are covered in hydrophobic cloth in order to keep sweat or rain out, while still letting sound pass through.

The X2 comes with wing tips that you can attach to the earpieces. The tips enhance the grip of the headphones in the ear, and will help keep them secure even while you are running.

The highs are crisp, airy and forward so detail presentation is very good. Bass is fast and controlled instead of boomy, so it does not muddy up the overall sound.

This sound signature works well with a wide range of genres and rock, pop, hip-hop and EDM will definitely sound great with these headphones.

Integrated into the remote is a microphone, so you do not need to pull out your phone should a call come in. Mic quality is pretty decent, and your voice should be easy to understand on the other line.

Signal quality is pretty stable with minimal distortion or drops, even if you are on the move.

The in-line remote will allow you to control music playback, adjust volume as well as answer/end calls.

You get standard silicone ear tips in different sizes, along with a carrying case, different sized wing tips, premium Comply foam ear tips in different sizes, cable management clips as well as the micro-USB charging cable.

Exposure to drops or small splashes of rain or sweat won't easily damage these.
