Also you can get an hours' play time out of 15 minutes charging, which is handy in an earphones emergency!<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Claimed battery time is 6 hours; in practice I usually get more than this - about 7 hours of listening<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Safety while cycling:<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">These aim to exclude sound. If you are using the Comply ear tips, they do an excellent job of excluding sound. Which is great for some purposes, but not exactly safe if you have to be aware of what is going on around you. When I cycle with these, I only use one of the earbuds. You can also choose to use the supplied silicone ear tips, which do not exclude as much sound (because they do not expand to fill your ear canal)<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">These fit more externally without completely plugging up your ears, so they are safer than the Jaybirds in terms of being able to hear your surroundings better<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Bluetooth Connection to your smart device:<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Connectivity is excellent, outstanding, and flawless<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Connectivity is excellent and instant. Effortlessly manages to handle switching devices<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Low Battery Alert:<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">A rather lovely, mellow female voice tells you that \"Battery is low\", and then she keeps quiet. This gives you another 20 minutes of listening time, before she sweetly says \"Power off.\" Also, the Bluebuds X3 have a tiny battery indicator that shows up on your smart device<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Every time you wake these headphones up, a measured female voice tells you the level of battery left, rounded off to the nearest 10%. This is enormously helpful. She also gives you low battery warnings<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Communications:<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">The Jaybird X3 communicate with you via a pleasant female voice. She tells you \"Power on\" when you switch on, and then \"Headphones Connected\" when they're connected, cutting out the guesswork. She also tells you how much battery power you have<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">The Bose SoundSport communicate via a measured, pleasant female voice. Instead of telling you the power is on, she shows you they are on by telling you the percentage of battery life you have left, and what device the headphones are connected to<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Price Comparison of Jaybird X3 and Bose SoundSport<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Jaybird X3 can sometimes be bought for <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2u51cWq\">as little as $100<\/a> these days - a lot cheaper than they used to be, and a great price for premium Bluetooth headphones<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Bose SoundSports cost anything from <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2sH0T6j\">about $135 to $170<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-11\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Waterproof?<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Not waterproof; but guaranteed sweatproof<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Not waterproof; but guaranteed sweatproof<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-12\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Ear fit<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Comes with three sizes of Comply memory foam ear tips that are designed to plug up your ears for comfortable noise exclusion. Possibly not the best choice on a bike; great for the gym. However, they also come with 3 sets of silicone tips, which plug up your ears less, and which I find comfortable<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Comes with three sizes of soft, removable tips <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-13\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Built-in microphone for making phone calls?<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Yes - works very well<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Yes - works very well<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-14\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Do they stay in your ears?<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">They are designed to have a secure fit for athletic use. They come with tiny ear fins, which help them to stay in by hooking into the curve of your ear<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">They are designed to have a secure fit for athletic use. They come with tiny ear fins, which help them to stay in by hooking into the curve of your ear. They almost never fall out<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-15\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">What powers do you have?<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">With the Jaybirds X3, you can use the inline controller to turn them on and off, answer calls, skip tracks and go back tracks, switch phone calls, and call up Siri<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">With the Bose SoundSport, you can use the control on the right earbud to switch them on and off; you can use the inline controller to change volume, skip tracks and take calls<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-16\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Durability\/ruggedness<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Quite sensitive; need to be handled with care<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Surprisingly rugged - I have been wearing mine while sleeping for a year now, and can hardly believe they have survived a year of me rolling over them<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-17\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">App<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">The Mysound app is an electronic equalizer that enables you to create a personalized sound profile that stays with the earbuds, regardless of which device you are doing. A great app if you enjoy that sort of thing, and definitely lifts the sound quality<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">The Bose Connect app allows you to do ... virtually nothing. I honestly don't know what the point of this app is. It enables you to switch off audio prompts - I cannot imagine why anyone would want to do that<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-18\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Auto Off?<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Yes, the auto off ensures you do not run your batteries down for no good reason<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Yes, the auto off ensures you do not run your batteries down for no good reason. It also announces that it is turning off with a melodic chime, which I like<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-19\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Charging time<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2.5 hours<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">2 hours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-20\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Weight<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">0.5 oz (14 grams)<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">0.8 oz (23

Thanks to the Bluetooth technology,\u00a0 you do not not have to run wires through your shirt to your phone. They are both quite expensive \u2013 but, as I often explain to Maggie, not having to deal with wires on my bike or my hike is priceless. Wires have caused me to accidentally break a phone at least once, so I could (and often do) argue that Bluetooth actually SAVES money!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23847\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23847\" style=\"width: 645px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2u51cWq\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23847\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/bose-soundsport-wireless-headphones-vs-jaybird-x3-sport-headphones\/jaybird-x3-vs-bose-soundsports-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Jaybird-X3-vs-Bose-Soundsports-4.jpg?fit=645%2C375&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"645,375\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Jaybird X3 vs Bose Soundsports 4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Jaybird-X3-vs-Bose-Soundsports-4.jpg?fit=300%2C174&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Jaybird-X3-vs-Bose-Soundsports-4.jpg?fit=645%2C375&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-23847 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Jaybird-X3-vs-Bose-Soundsports-4.jpg\" alt=\"On the left are Jaybirds X3 (also available in several other colors): on the right are Bose Soundsports (also available in black).

Which ones should <em>you<\/em> get?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With both of these headphones, the sound quality is equal to or better than most in-ear wired headphones of comparable prices. With both of these headphones, you get to control them without having to take your phone out of your pocket, backpack, or pannier, which can be safer if you are on transit late at night and don&#8217;t want to flash your expensive phone around. It is also super convenient &#8211; personally, I HATE having to stop my bike to change a track or change the volume. As you can see in the illustration above, both have an inline controller on the cord that you use for most controls. Also, the Bose has a power switch on the actual earbud. The Jaybirds have more control options on the controller, and the controller has a build quality that looks stronger than the controller on the Bose SoundSport. However, the Bose SoundSport earbuds feel strong and rugged, and are clearly of good quality. I wear mine to bed every night, because I like to listen to podcasts to put me to sleep. Then of course I roll around and they get pulled out of my ears, and I roll onto them &#8230; I can hardly believe they have survived this treatment for a year.<\/p>\n<p>With both of them, you can listen to whatever you like, or take calls while cycling or running \u2013 all without ever touching your phone. Very special, and I feel privileged to be able to do that.<\/p>\n<p>Both stay in the ear well, using a similar ear fin device; the Bose SoundSport are slightly bulkier than the Jaybirds X3. I find them both soft and comfortable in my ears, and can wear them for hours. I have been known to search for my earphones without realizing that they are actually in my ears! But then I do wear them just about all the time. It used to annoy Maggie, so I got her a pair of Bose, and now she gets it, and is a lot more tolerant.<\/p>\n<p>All that said, there are some<strong> differences between the Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones vs Jaybird X3 Sport Headphones<\/strong>, which I highlight below.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound Quality of the Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones vs Jaybird X3 Sport Headphones<\/h3>\n<p>Make no mistake, both offer premium listening experiences, making your ears feel like they are wrapped in luxury. I love them, and am completely addicted to this listening experience. I feel like it is a necessity for my mental health, not a luxury (another point that I regularly explain to Maggie). In fact &#8230; come to think of it &#8230; if I was unhappy, that would make my wife unhappy, so I really buy Bluetooth headphones for my wife&#8217;s sake. I am thoughtful that way!<\/p>\n<p>I use my Bose and my Jaybirds for listening to music, podcasts, and audible books, and they are both excellent for all of those purposes.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you compare the sound quality of the Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones vs Jaybird X3 Sport Headphones, there is no doubt that Bose has the edge. Listening to music on Bose is absolutely splendid to the point of being transporting, thanks to the rich quality of the sound. This is partly because they are Bose, and partly because the earbuds are quite substantially bigger. The Jaybirds 3 also have excellent sound quality, but they are not sublime to the same degree. I have a bad habit of sometimes not listening to music for a while (in favor of podcasts). This is not good, because music is so good for my mood and sanity. Switching on my Bose reminds me how wonderful music is, and gets me listening to music again.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23848\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23848\" style=\"width: 749px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2u51cWq\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"23848\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/bose-soundsport-wireless-headphones-vs-jaybird-x3-sport-headphones\/jaybird-x3-vs-bose-soundsports-2-copy\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Jaybird-X3-vs-Bose-Soundsports-2-copy.jpg?fit=749%2C376&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"749,376\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Jaybird X3 vs Bose Soundsports 2 copy\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Jaybird X3 vs Bose Soundsports 2&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Jaybird-X3-vs-Bose-Soundsports-2-copy.jpg?fit=300%2C151&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Jaybird-X3-vs-Bose-Soundsports-2-copy.jpg?fit=749%2C376&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-23848 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/averagejoecyclist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Jaybird-X3-vs-Bose-Soundsports-2-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Jaybird X3 complete package on the left; Bose Soundsports 2 complete package plus charger on the right.

The narrator tends to cover things that I do not, so listen to him if you are still making up your mind. Don&#8217;t be put off by the working out at the beginning &#8211; at minute 1:08 he starts to say a lot of very useful things.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"Jaybird X3 vs Bose Soundsport Wireless! Who Holds The Title Of  Best Wireless Sports earbud of 2017?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/510KUrBeLX4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Size of the Ear Tips<\/h3>\n<p>The Jaybird X3 ear tips are quite a bit smaller, and quite a bit less visible than the Bose SoundSport. I have previously written a <a href=\"http:\/\/ajc-wearable-tech.com\/jaybird-x2-vs-jaybird-x\/\">scathing review<\/a> about how there was almost no difference between the Jaybird X and the Jaybird X2. However, I must say that there is a noticeable improvement from the Jaybird X2 to the X3 &#8211; they have got smaller, stronger, and cheaper. This video shows this more clearly:<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"Jaybird X3 Review: Best Bluetooth Earbuds 2016!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/77aeW3bsCzc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, some people find the Bose SoundSport ear tips a bit big and bulky. Well, they are on the large side, for sure. But they are super comfortable, and really, the larger size is part of what creates the <em>awesome<\/em> sound.<\/p>\n<h3>New App on the Jaybird X3<\/h3>\n<p>The Bose app is pretty minimal, and I am not even sure what it is for. You can quite easily use the Bose earphones without ever downloading or using the Bose app. I have had my Bose for years, and never use the app.<\/p>\n<p>The situation is very different with the Jaybirds. The Jaybird X3 headphones are compatible with Jaybird&#8217;s app, <strong>MySound<\/strong>. This app behaves like those equalizers we used to have on our hifi music systems, allowing you to fine tune the music. You can even set up different profiles for different kinds of music, such as one for rock and another for hip hop. This video shows how the MySound app works. It was made for Jaybird <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2wTpQOH\">Freedom<\/a> headphones, which are the only other Jays that the app is compatible with.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" title=\"Freedom User Guide \/\/ MySound App\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FHvehTJUSgA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Bottom Line on Bose SoundSport Wireless Headphones vs <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2u51cWq\">Jaybird X3<\/a> Sport Headphones<\/h3>\n<p>As you will know if you have read this far: Bose offers better sound, while Jaybirds offers a much better app. I love both my Bose and my Jaybirds X3. The X3 are in fact the best Jaybirds so far developed. I have used almost every kind of Jaybird headphones over the years. At times it has been a love-hate relationship, and certainly I was very disappointed by the Jaybirds <a href=\"http:\/\/ajc-wearable-tech.com\/jaybird-x2-vs-jaybird-x\/\">X to X2 &#8220;upgrade.&#8221;<\/a> But I have to say that <strong>with the X3, Jaybird has finally hit the sweet spot<\/strong>. Better sound, smaller size, greater comfort, true noise isolation for those who want it, great app, stronger build quality &#8211; and then to top it all off, they even dropped the price to a level which seems more than fair (price is another aspect I have complained about in earlier versions of Jaybirds). If you&#8217;re looking for premium Bluetooth sports headphones for a great price, you cannot really go wrong with <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2u51cWq\">JaybirdX3<\/a> or with <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2k3Zd4W\">Bose SoundSport<\/a>. Both companies are reputable with great after sales service, so make sure you keep your receipt in a safe place.<\/p>\n[table \u201c135\u201d not found \/]<br \/>\n\n<p style=\"text-align:
