**Top 5 Headphones Under $200: A Review**

I recently left my house without one essential item - my Bluetooth earbuds that last like forever on battery, have great sound, and are under $200. I included them in my top five headphones under $200 list because of their impressive features and affordable price tag. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the Jbird X2s, which are a refresh of the original BlueBuds model.

**The Jbird X2s: A Refresh of the Original Model**

Since the release of the Jbird X2s, a lot has changed in terms of technology. While they're not a design overhaul, but rather a remake with new technology for 2015, there are still some notable improvements. The first thing to note is that they no longer come with "BlueBuds" on the box, instead, they're simply referred to as the X2s. They do come in a variety of colors, including my personal favorite - red and black.

**What's Included in the Box**

When you open your package, you'll find the following items: the headphones, a carrying case with a hard shell on the bottom and soft rubber sides, three different size rubber ear tips, and three different size foam ear tips. The soft foam ear tips were previously an optional paid accessory, but they're now included for free as part of the package.

**New Features and Improvements**

One of the biggest improvements in the Jbird X2s is the carrying case. The new design is a lot easier to use than the original clamshell case, with a soft touch finish that feels great in your hand. The ear fins have also been improved, with new ones being softer and more comfortable. These fins help keep the earbuds securely in place, even when moving or running.

**Sound Quality**

Despite their small size, the Jbird X2s still deliver impressive sound quality. They have a rich, warm, punchy sound that's perfect for sports and other activities where you need to focus on your music. The Bluetooth connection is more reliable than ever before, and they can fit better drivers into a smaller space.

**Battery Life**

The Jbird X2s also offer an impressive battery life of 8 hours, which should be enough for most users. They charge fully in about 2 hours, making them perfect for long days on the go. While 8 hours may not seem like a lot when compared to other Bluetooth headphones, it's still more than enough for most people who only listen to music for 2 hours every day.

**Overall Impression**

In conclusion, there's pretty much nothing I don't like about the Jbird X2s refresh. They're easy to use and pair with, durable, and offer impressive sound quality. If you've never used Bluetooth headphones before, these would be a great first pair to try out. And if you already own the original BlueBuds model, the X2s are a worthwhile upgrade.

**Bonus: The Original Jbird BlueBuds X**

The original Jbird BlueBuds X have also dropped in price, making them an even more affordable option. Right now, they're available for under $150, which is a steal considering their impressive features and sound quality. If you're interested in checking out the original model, I'll leave the link below.

**Giveaway Time!**

I'll be giving away a second pair of Jbird X2s to one lucky winner. To enter, simply follow me on Twitter (link below) and stay tuned for some exciting giveaway action. Good luck!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what is up guys I'm kbd here and these are the j-bird x2s they are these bluetooth earbuds they're the sequel actually to the j-bird blue buds X that I liked so much last year so this is the review of them should be pretty easy so the originals of these guys the jbird BlueBuds X were some of my favorite headphones like ever I didn't even use earbuds that much but I would pretty much never leave the house without these they're bluetooth earbuds that last like forever on battery they have great sound they happen to be under 200 bucks so I included them on my top five headphones under $200 list uh and a lot of people have loved them ever since now here's the thing these came out like 3 years ago so all the technology from the inside and out has improved in the last 3 years so the jbird x2s aren't really like a design overhaul or anything like that they're more of a refresh of remaking the same product with new technology for 2015 so here's what's new with the jbird X2 that rhymed okay first of all they're not BlueBuds anymore there's no BlueBuds anywhere on the box actually they're just the x2s now and they do come in a few colors so the originals were just black or white the x2s come in a variety of colors my personal favorite of course being the red and black which is called fire uh this is everything that comes in the Box the headphones the case three different size rubber ear tips and now new three different size foam ear tips so the soft foam these actually used to be an optional paid accessory so it's nice that they actually include these for free as a part of the package now you also get the ear fins that help them stay in your ears and a tiny USB 2.0 cable all you really need to do is get your Bluetooth device to play music from and you're good to go and you can pair with up to eight devices to this just one pair of headphones the biggest Improvement or actually I think the biggest change mechanically speaking is actually the carrying case so the original models carrying case was this sort of a hard clamshell design definitely protective but super annoying to open the new case is a hard shell on the bottom but then more of a a flexible soft rubber on the sides so you can just pop off the top put your headphones or accessories in there and then when you want to close it you just pop the top right back on when you're done it's a lot easier for me than that clamshell and the other big mechanical Improvement for the jbird x2s is the improved ear fins which are a bit more comfortable a little bit softer to help these things stay more securely in your ear when moving or running you technically don't have to use the fins but they help the earbuds stay more firmly in my ear for keeping the seal and keeping the dope sound and speaking of dope sound yes these do still sound awesome uh this is again where new technology comes into play you can fit better drivers into a smaller place you can work on the sound profile of such a small pair of headphones the Bluetooth connection is more reliable Etc and they still have this really rich uh warm Punchy sound like the last version super fun to listen to especially for sports and stuff they charge fully in about 2 hours and they still have that really long 8 Hour battery life and that might not sound like an all day thing but if you only listen to music for 2 hours every single day that's going to last you almost a week uh and just the overall fit and finish is better here there's improved water resistance it feels like the connection with the cable of the earbuds is more solid and the soft touch finish is way better looking and feeling in the hand than the glossy casing of last year so there's pretty much nothing I don't like about this refresh even if you've never used Bluetooth headphones at all before these would be a great first pair considering they're super easy to use and pair and get started with and then they're really durable so if you do drop them or you play a rough sport or have a long practice or get them wet they will survive so when it comes down to it there are no better wireless earbuds for the price and I've tried a lot of them uh I just can't get past recommending these now here's the bonus The Originals the jbird BlueBuds X which are still pretty good uh now they dropped in price so it's like a new smartphone coming out the older version drops in price a lot I'll leave the link right below if you want to check out the original jbird BlueBuds X and get them for a steel I think they're now like way under 150 bucks now so that's pretty dope uh and I'll also be giving away a second pair of the jbird x2s so if you want to check out a pair of those uh stay tuned on Twitter I'll leave my Twitter
