Monster iSport Victory vs Jaybird X3

These headphones are designed with joggers and gym rats in mind. They won't stop working due to rain or sweat. They can even be washed, as long as it's done carefully and by hand.

The highs are crisp, the mids are clean and bass over-emphasized, but not as much as to overwhelm everything else.

Noise isolation is very good with these headphones, and should effectively minimize ambient noise. These headphones form an effective seal inside the ears due to the quality ear tips and the sport clips that help keep these in place.

iSport Victory headphones have a 3.8-foot cable that is soft and flexible and does not tangle easily.

Monster iSport Victory headphones come with 5 sets of extra eartips from small to extra large sizes allowing you to adjust the size of the earbuds to fit your needs.

These headphones use a patented earclip to help them comfortably stay in your ear.

You can answer calls by clicking the middle button on the remote.

These headphones come bundled with:

• a small pouch
• a clothing clip
• 5 sets of extra eartips
• extra earclips

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

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. The mids sound natural and do not get lost in the mix.
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.

The X3 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 in-line remote will allow you to control music playback, adjust volume as well as answer/end calls.

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.

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 charging cradle with micro-USB cable.

The older X2 model had bigger and heavier earpieces which made them prone to falling off, and also made it difficult to use the earphones with a helmet or a hat. The X3’s earpieces have been redesigned to be smaller, while the internal batteries have been moved from the earpiece to the remote. This helps keep the X3 in-place inside the ears and at the same time makes these earphones easier to fit under a hat or helmet.

The X3 gets around 8 hours of playback time from a full charge. This battery life is much more consistent compared to the previous model which had spotty battery life.

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