“Jaybird RUN is inspired by our athletes, and tested and built with the
runner in mind who listens to music or podcasts and wants to feel as
free as possible," said Jeff Taylor, Jaybird athlete and partnership
manager. “Being runners ourselves, we understand how bulky headphones
can get in the way. The Jaybird RUN compact form factor fits securely
and delivers music without a single wire. We’ve perfected the Jaybird
RUN experience, so you'll forget you're wearing them, and we’re excited
to share them with runners everywhere.”
Jaybird RUN features the latest in true wireless Bluetooth® technology,
offering big, rich sound with drop-free connectivity in a stylish,
low-profile design. Jaybird RUN comes with a selection of
interchangeable tips and fins for different ear sizes, so you're sure to
get the perfect secure and comfortable fit. And its double hydrophobic
nano coating protects your headphones from sweat and water damage. One
intuitive control-button takes calls, starts and stops music, skips
tracks and activates Siri or Google Assistant. It's even designed for
one-ear use, so runners can listen while staying aware of their
surroundings.
"Music fuels my run," said Timothy Olson, Jaybird athlete and two-time
winner and record holder of the Western States 100 Mile race. "I have my
race playlists and they power me on the trail. In the past, cords have
always gotten in my way or snagged on bushes and trees. Jaybird RUN
headphones are the perfect way to bring music with me. It's amazing to
run with complete freedom and no wires, and the fit is so comfortable
and secure that I never worry about losing them."
With Jaybird RUN, you can have your music your way. Customize the sound
signature with the free Jaybird App by adjusting the lows, mids and
highs for a truly personalized music experience. The Jaybird App can
also help you locate your headphones with the Find My Buds feature, in
case they go missing. The app even allows you to share Spotify
running-themed playlists with the Jaybird community.
Jaybird RUN headphones come in two colors: Drift (white with silver
metal accents) and Jet (black with silver metal accents). Both deliver
four hours of music on a single charge, and the pocket-sized charging
case provides an additional eight hours, for a total of 12 hours of
portable battery life. A quick, five-minute charge gives you one hour of
play time, so you never have to hit the trail or pavement without your
music.
FREEDOM 2 with SpeedFit, an evolution in fit and comfort
Also today, Jaybird announced a redesign of its award-winning,
ultra-small Freedom headphones for greater comfort and an improved fit. FREEDOM
2 with SpeedFit the same incredible, customizable sound you've come
to expect from Jaybird, but with an even better fit thanks to softer and
more flexible combined tips and fins and SpeedFit, an integrated cord
management system. Responding to input from our athletes and fans, it's
now easier than ever to switch from the under- to over-ear
configuration, lifting the cord off the back of your neck to deliver a
secure fit with complete freedom. The combined tips and fins also make
it quicker to get a customized fit.
With the smallest form factor on the market, FREEDOM 2 is perfect for
those with smaller ears or anyone looking for low profile, lightweight,
sweat-proof and water resistant headphones with up to eight hours of
on-the-go playtime.
