PS: I have only used one model so far [check our unboxing of the Jaybird Run] so I can’t speak for the whole genre, but they exceeded in terms of utility. Audio quality was as expected, you don’t wear these because you want to enjoy complicated classical music works πŸ™‚

Prices range from $4 to $8, so it’s not “magic cable” pricing ^_^
