The Jaybird is so small people will be surprised to discover you're wearing a headset. When I wear the Jaybird, my hair covers all of it, and nobody knows it's there at all. Even the signature Bluetooth blue light is subtle on the Jaybird. No beacon here, just a gentle blink of blue located in the center of the right earpiece. The Jaybird is both over the ear and in ear, so you are guaranteed a snug and secure fit. It takes a few tries to get the position just right, but once you get the feel of it, putting them on comfortably is a snap. The sound quality rivals any wired stereo headphones. It is simply brilliant! I can't imagine using any other headset.

I love them, I don't think I'll ever have want of another pair of headphones for a very long time. They are comfortable, I've been wearing them all day, and they are really easy to use. I have become a big fan of JayBird Gear.

Granted, you've got some options out there when scouting a new set of Bluetooth earbuds, but you won't find us kvetching over a little competition in the totally unsaturated market. JayBird is stepping up to the plate with its stylish JB-100, which boasts a built-in microphone for handling handsfree calls, noise / echo suppression technology and 6.5-hours of talk time (5.5-hours when listening to jams). Additionally, the unit is said to be water resistant, and you'll even get a handy charging dock and mesh carrying case.

Passersby probably won't even notice them
The JayBird JB-100 Bluetooth Stereo Headset offers a nice,low-profile design and clear audio response. Bluetooth pairing is easy... The bulk of the earpieces is contained in the two crescent-moon-shaped units that curve behind the ear when worn. Passersby probably won't even notice them, particularly if the user has long hair.

What a great product this is!
Been using the wireless head set for 2 weeks and can't begin to say what a great product it is. I use it with both phone and itouch ipod. A must have for sure.Mary Halifax, N.S. canada
Stays on no matter what!
I bought this with a fair amount of scepticism thinking that it would fall off my ear pretty easily (I've never seen a headset that doesn't). I was pleasantly surprised to see that it didn't come off regarless what sport I play (or how hard I play!). It simply won't come off my ear until I take it off. Getting rid of the wires to my iPod is a huge plus for me. This is awesome - I highly recommend it!Steve Raiche, Houston, TX, USA
Very light, very comfortable, very good service
Very light, very comfortable, very good service, VERY Happy. To get an idea of just how good these are just read the advertising, it's ALL true.Kim Cameron, Surrey Downs, Adelaide, Australia
The sound quality is excellent
I just got my new JB 200 2.0 headphones from Jaybirdgear. The sound quality is excellent and improved from the previous model. I can wear them anywhere and with the improved volume and fidelity I can make adjustments on the go and still hear the outside sounds I need to hear to from time to time. I wear them working out, driving and even walking on the beach. It is great to hear bethoven as I ride my bike or go running. I can run with these headphones on and now I can even override the loudness of a place like the gym. The new JB 200 headphones from Jaybird gear are the best thing on the market for those of us who can’t stand bulky headphones but want to stay on the move and still be able to get our phone calls and not miss any important communications while we travel and see the world with music of our choice in our ears.

Your product is amazing
I received the order one week a go. It took only 4 business day to Spain. Incredible!! Your product is amazing. I had very bad experience with S9 but I think now I found a perfect headphone for my bicicles rides. Thanks!!! I going to put a very nice post in some blogs.http://www.auriculares-inalambricos.net/

One tough little headset
I've been using this at the gym and I work out pretty hard and get quite a lot of sweat worked up. The JayBird headset just keeps storming on without any issues, sweat just isn't a factor for it. This is some tough headset.Tim Lewis, San Diego, CA, USA
I love how it feels ... very comfortable
Getting it on for the first time was a challenge (actually it was a really hard), but once I got the hang of it, wow! It's real comfortable and secure. It's pretty amazing how JayBird came up with a design that fits comfortably on different shaped ears. My wife started playing around with the headset and now she wont stop using it for her runs. I like using it with my PC since I play iTunes while I work (bought both iPod and MP3 adapters for use with the iPod and my PC). I can get up and walk around and stuff while I'm listening to my music...I couldn't do that before. I also have it paired with my cell phone alot of the time so when someone calls me I can take the call through the headset while my music is paused... pretty amazing product, very versatile.Mark Davis, Chicago, IL, USA
The music quality is outstanding
I purchased a JB-200I-01 from Target last weekend and am very happy with the new unit. The fit is good, especially when I follow the fitting tips. The music quality is outstanding, and the hands-free capability is a surprisingly good extra. Overall, the freedom to listen to music virtually anywhere without the hassles of wires is something right out of Star Trek. Good job! I can really get use to this! Thanks! WayneWayne Matrejek, Wester TX, USA
No wires and so much more fashionable
I love the freedom I feel when I run it's just me, the road and my music. Because I hate wires getting in the way, I had been using one of those chunky Bluetooth stereo headsets with the big over ear speakers and solid bar behind my head. It wasn't the best as I have always felt a bit like Princess Leih from Star Wars with her hair in spirals on the side of her head, but I am such a "no-wires-gal" that I have stuck with it until now. This looks so much better, I love how small the JayBird headset is. Because it's so small, I can even have my headband on and no one can even see it. It's so much more fashionable than my old Bluetooth headphones!Susan Hannan, Salt Lake City, UT, USA
From the fit to performance, these are GREAT!!!
I finally got the chance to really give my JB-200's a good "work out". I used them in the gym for the first time. What a liberating feeling not having the wires getting in my way. When running on a treadmill, there was no looseness or loss of sound quality. I got the chance to use both the iPod and MP3 adapters and they both worked flawlessly. The changes from the JB-100's are very evident. AVRCP controls are very easy to use and worked perfectly. From the fit to performance, these are GREAT!!!I guess I just want to say.... THANKS!! Thanks for making a great product!

I was hoping it would fit even with my helmet on, and it does!
I bought this after seeing your website and a lot of reviews and I was really impressed. I commute on a motorcycle, and so after seeing the slim design I was hoping it would fit even with my helmet on, and it does! I can listen to music and talk on the phone no problems while riding. I tested it yesterday at speeds up to 45 mph, and my caller could hear me with a little of wind, and I could hear them no problems. The cool part is that it was with the visor up! With the visor down they had trouble hearing me, I sounded muffled. I have my iphone on my handle bars and I'm wearing tipless gloves, so the controls are a easy! Volume I am happy with, although i can't control volume through my iphone when paired, only through the headset, which isn't happening with my helmet on. Wanted to share. Thanks, and have a great day! AlbertAlbert Crispin, USA
Within 10 minutes I had my ipod, macbook and cellphone all connected and jamming
You guys rock. My order was shipped within 2 hours of placing it. Shipping was free and it arrived right on time. Within 10 minutes I had my ipod, macbook and cellphone all connected and jamming. Works exactly as i had hoped for if not better. Excellent build quality and packaging. Thanks!Josh Reece, Elkridge, MD, USA
Great for gaming
My wife likes me to use a headset when I am on the x-box. I recently bought the JayBird headphones and the JayBird MP3 adapter which I plug it into the home stereo headphone jack. What I love about this setup is that I can be connected to my mobile phone at the same time so I'm not missing calls while I'm gaming. I hear the phone ring through the headset and I can take the call through the headset while the game sound is paused. Nice product!Anthony Kun, Tacoma, WA, USA
You are right they wont come off.
Thank you so much. I love these things. You are right they wont come off. I am sure you will get a couple of orders in the coming days as my friends were impressed too. Thanks again.Bryon Tracy, Denver CO, USA
AWESOME PRODUCT!!
I just purchased the JB-200 with the iPod adapter as recommended for use with my iPhone. I was skeptical at first if the bluetooth would work for both calls and streaming music. I have been delighted with your equipment. The stereo sound is superb!! And the way the headset works for the control of music volume, song selection, and fade out during receipt of a call is outstanding. This is the reason i chose the iPhone. Until finding your product I have been slightly dissapoinnted with the iPhone as I was still bound with wires if I wanted to use the iPod function and the phone, as you know Apple has yet to release the A2DP capabilities inside the iPhone yet. Even though it is capable. I also appreciate the small diameter of the inner ear buds as I have found other bluetooth headsets that are larger become uncomfortable the longer they are worn from the pressure touching the inside of the ear. Also the shape of the inner ear gels are not only comfortable but the shape helps direct the sound into the ear. I have noticed that I have turned down the volume on my handset as well as the headset as compared to when I was using the wired headset that came with the iPhone.Thank You for making such a wonderful product. I wish I had found it when I first purchased my iPhone.

Stays put even under rigorous activity
My JB-200 was easy to pair, stays put even under rigorous activity, and is very comfortable.Joe Cook, Tullos LA, USA
Battery life does it for me
I've been waiting for something like this and always wondered if the battery life would suffer in such a small device. Looks like JayBird pulled it off. I like the battery life on this headset. Charging once per day works for me. I've got a Sony Ericsson W880i and I'm on the phone about 10 times per day and listen to music through the walkman feature on the phone. It's a real slick solution.Adam Bennett, Denver, CO, USA
I love how they stay in my ears
First of all I was very skeptical about even purchasing your product. I was kind of gun shy after purchasing a set of S9's. They were supposed to be somewhat sweat proof but the second time I wore them at the gym they died, bye, bye $130. I sent them in for repair got them back and probably wore them around a month, at no time to the gym, and they died again. Anyhow after emailing you and getting a response back, in a decent amount of time I might add, I decided to invest in your headset. As of this writing I am very happy with the product. Have been to the gym with them at least 4 times and not an issue one. I run quite hard on the treadmill and sweat quite a lot, and it has not killed them. Additionally I love how they stay in my ears and I do not have to keep reseating them every couple of minutes. I think the wire between the earpieces make them a lot more comfortable to wear, it allows for a greater range of movement versus a solid connection. Well I have rambled on enough just to say thanks for the great product.Ray Sutherland, Green Cove Springs FL, USA
Very comfortable & never threaten to fall out
As someone who has had the opportunity to own the JB100 and now the JB200, I have to say, "who would've thought they could've made it any better?", but they did. I won't bother to list all of the things that have changed but suffice it to say they're all very positive. They do exactly what they claim to do, great fit, great stereo sound, great music controls (AVRCP) and great bluetooth phone capabilities. If you have an active lifestyle this is the headset for you! I have been waiting and searching for a solution that would meet my needs. I thought my searching was hopeless until I ran across these Jaybird headsets. They have everything I needed - Bluetooth, ability to answer a call, sweat resistant, fashionable, and provide "stereo" streaming. I couldn't believe it! I ordered these and put them to work right away. When I workout the headset does not even come close to getting in the way. They're very comfortable and never threaten to fall out. I even went on to purchase the separate bluetooth adaptor. I plug that it into my tv when I'm going to bed so that I can crank up the volume without disturbing my wife. Thank you for such a great product.Steve Velazquez, Colorado Springs, CO, USA
Makes my work outs fun
I am a gym junkie and need my music all the time. This Jaybird device does a great job of making my workouts fun. Pairs with my LG Dare and Blackberry Curve.Christian Marcelo, Canoga Park, CA, USA
PC and mobile phone become one
I bought this to use with my phone which I like. The volume could be louder but given that the mic is behind my ear it's pretty amazing. The JayBird has a noise echo suppression technology which works really well. I bought the MP3 adapter and now I am finding that I am using the headset with my PC at the same time. I pair the headset with both, pretty cool.Johnny Matveeva, San Antonio, TX, USA
Finally a headset made for the gym
First I wanted to say I just got my first Jay Bird (JB-200) and I absolutely love it!!!! Finally a headset made for the gym and not something I feel like I am going to break every time I put it on…. Over the past year or so I have gone through FIVE (not one, two, three or even four, but FIVE) Motorola S9 headsets and every one of them could not take the punishment. Finally someone designed a BT headset for an active person. It was so frustrating having no other choice but the S9 I finally gave up and went back to the old school corded headset. I am in the gym usually 1-2 hours a day, 6-7 days a week and need a headset which could take the sweat and abuse during my workouts but more importantly a headset which could take the abuse of my gym bag everyday…. By the way, great idea on including a small bag to place the headset in, this really helps. Overall I am very impressed so far.I also wanted to mention a HUGE design flaw of the S9 which your headset doesn’t have an issue with. As a weight lifter I am constantly using benches for various exercises like bench press, incline etc. With my old S9’s, I had to take it off my head every time I needed to lie on my back on a bench. With the battery of the S9 being on the back of my neck it would inevitably push off when I laid my head back and generally just annoy me to no end. Doesn’t sound like a big deal but on my chest workout days I basically had to my whole workout without any music and when they are sometimes playing very bad 80’s rock at the gym you can understand why I was annoyed.. LOL
