Ok I'm somewhat of an audiophile and headphone connoisseur. I am not one of those people who buys a certain brand just because they love that brand. For example, I am an "Apple" person, but I don't care for AirPods at all. I use wireless Bose speakers in my home and Sennheiser for bluetooth over ear headphones but for buds I am super SUPER picky. While all of those brands are known for their high quality audio devices, having tried their offers in the "buds" department, JayBird Vista is the clear winner for several reasons. I owned the Jaybird Vista before these and recently upgraded to the Vista 2's after leaving my beloved Vistas on an airplane (they were still working perfectly after years of heavy use).I won't go into all the details but suffice it to say I have tried and compared all of these top of the line buds (my husband has Bose, my sister Apple, and I bought and sent back the Sennheiser) and in a head to head, JayBird provided the best experience;Stellar sound!Great battery life - though, it should be noted that the battery life of the case and the phones themselves don't last nearly as long as the original Vista's due to the ANC. This is to be expected of course, but it took some getting used to to train myself to charge them more regularly.Connectivity - Others have cited issues with this but I have had a FLAWLESS experience with connectivity. I use these with my iPhone 11 Pro, my Apple watch and my iPad Air 2. It remembers all of my devices and it's easy to switch between them like when I want to go for a walk but leave my phone at home and listen to a book or music on my apple watch. I have never had signal drop randomly and I get more than enough distance from the bluetooth.ANC/Surround sense - I love that my buds now have ANC, and it's pretty darn good for ear buds! I also love how easy it is to toggle between ANC and surround sense by tapping twice. That being said, I almost NEVER use them in surround sense mode because I just don't care for the sound. I love that it's there and it can most definitely come in handy in certain situations, but I just don't really use it.COMFORT! - This might be one of the biggest reasons I bought Vista vs any other brand. These are the only buds that not only fit snuggly in my ears using the interchangeable pieces but are comfortable for LONG WEAR! They are light weight, small and don't push, pull, tug or bother my sensitive inner ears at all! If comfort is your biggest driving factor, then you should buy these without question.Durability - I knew Jaybird made good products as I've been buying their buds for years, but they have truly outdone themselves with the Vista 2 in the "life proof" department. I wear these hiking, running, working out, in my sauna, etc. They have been rained on and dropped and still look, feel and work like new.Controls - I love the intuitive and customizable controls of these buds. They are very user friendly, as is the app.In summary, the Jaybird Vista 2 is at the very top of the industry standard when it comes to true wireless ANC earbud technology and the price is VERY fair for what you get. I seriously cannot recommend these enough!I sincerely hope this review has been helpful to someone else! And yes, I paid full price for them. Feel free to ask any questions!
