Jaybird Vista review: True wireless headphones worth checking out
Jaybird got off to a bumpy start in the world of true wireless -- that's "AirPods-style headphones" -- when it released its Run headphones back in October 2017. That model, updated to the Run XT in 2019, was well designed but had some small performance issues that held it back from being great. But its successor, the Jaybird Vista (cue the Windows Vista jokes), includes design and performance improvements that make it the product I'd hoped the Run would be.
The Jaybird Vista is a nice, comfortable upgrade over the company's earlier models. But it's a tad too expensive in a true wireless headphone market where prices continue to drop.
The Jaybird Vista buds fit securely; They're lightweight, comfortable and sound quite good; They're fully waterproof and come with a USB-C compact charging case; Battery life is decent at six hours, with 10 additional hours from the case.
A little pricey; There's no transparency mode to allow ambient sound in.
